ABOUT ATTORNEY KAREN L. STEWART
Karen is most passionate about working with senior citizens. She is respectful, listens to their needs and has patience in explaining concepts so that they understand. She always remembers who the client is and focuses on them, instead of the family members who may also be attending the meeting. Karen understands the family has good intentions and wants to help, but it is up to the client to make decisions to the best of their abilities.
Another area of particular interest to Karen is working with blended families. Estate planning for second marriages can often be like putting a puzzle together and every family situation is different. It can be challenging to plan for the spouses to take care of each other and the needs of children from previous marriages and Karen enjoys the challenge.
Karen serves a diverse range of clients, of all ages and ethnicity: young families, middle aged, seniors, single\divorced\widowed people, married and unmarried couples, same sex couples.
