Compassionate and competent lawyer!

“Highly recommend Kama! From the day I met her, she was amazing. I was in a very vulnerable position, leaving a husband who was abusing me. I was scared and confused and she took my case and me by the hand on a situation I was frightened of. Initially, she got me a protection order and the divorce issues were handled in a timely and proficient manner. Truly, her staff and Kama were incredible and caring. Highly recommend…”

A Difficult Path made Easier

“Kama was always thinking outside the box. Compassionate, empathetic, but very quick to draw the line between fair and unreasonable when dealing with the other party. Kama and her seasoned team kept me informed with all developments along the way. I liked the fact that her staff would email me a detailed list as to what documentation I would need to gather up. In addition I liked the fact that Kama is very cost conscious and would do a lot of things to mitigate my exposure to great expense by using PL’s and LA’s staff where she could. At times she would allow me to do the initial foot work at minimal or no cost. But most importantly and above all Kama treated me with respect and as a friend!!! The speed in which this case was handled from start to finish, must have set records in this State and I was pleased with the outcome.”

– Dan O.

I have great trust and confidence Kama will do the same for you.”
