Karen Heller Berdy, an attorney based in Walnut Creek, California, is highly praised for her exceptional knowledge, communication skills, and empathetic approach in mediation. Reviewers commend her ability to explain complex legal concepts clearly and her talent for maintaining a calm and focused environment during emotionally charged discussions, which was crucial in navigating shared custody and asset division. Many recommend her for couples seeking a collaborative resolution, emphasizing her commitment to keeping the process constructive and minimizing conflict.
Karen is extremely knowledgable, communicative, empathic, forthright, and focused on helping both parties move the process forward. She explained various aspects of the law, likely outcomes on issues if we took them to court, explained pros & cons of different property division scenarios, and did a flawless job with executing & recording the required paperwork. She also had a knack for bringing us back to ground when emotions ran high and conversation ceases being productive and focused. Her calm, rational, and fair demeanor was critical to the success of our mediation . Note that our situation involved shared custody and division of assets, the sorting out of personal versus community property, and accounting for a small business. I’ve recommended Karen many times since and always hear she is great. Highly recommend for a couple who wants the assets to stay in the family and not go to lawyers who only win by the two of you fighting.
It took me over a year to write this review. I have actually never written a bad review about anyone or any business. I do feel, however, that if I can spare someone from wasting the money that I wasted, it will be worth it. I used the collaborative process for my divorce and was represented by Karen Berdy. My ex husband and I had agreed on everything except how to split a business and spousal support numbers (using TWO HOURS of mediation) prior to starting the collaborative process, but we needed a little extra help finalizing and didn’t want to go through the court system.
