I reside in Virginia, and after the unexpected death of my mother in North Carolina, I needed to find legal guidance to assist me with Estate processes in NC. Karen provided expert advice, guidance, and direction through all aspects of the process. She and her team are professional, conscientious, knowledgeable, and trustworthy. During a very difficult period in my life, I consider myself extremely fortunate to have found Karen - a trusted expert.
Good experience with Karen handling our estate matters and my business matters.
We feel so lucky to have been introduced to Karen for our estate law needs and corporate needs. After moving to NC from California, we needed guidance in estate law planning, and in setting up a corporate entity in NC. Karen truly went above and beyond. In no uncertain terms, she went out of her way to get us what we needed. Not only was her skill and professionalism exemplary, her kindness and compassion was ever present. We are grateful to have Karen as our attorney, and recommend her highly without hesitation.
Karen Boardman assisted me in the registration of my trademark. From the first time I met with Karen I felt confident that I was being advised correctly, and in accordance with the law. Karen answered all my questions and provided me with options and guidance throughout the process. Karen was very friendly, efficient, and professional and I have no hesitation in referring Karen to anyone looking for legal advice regarding trademarks.
I was very impressed and pleased with the work Attorney Karen Boardman did to help our church organization achieve 501c3 status. She was very professional and committed to the task. She would consistently get back with us during the application process in a very timely manner. I highly recommend Attorney Karen Boardman for her exceptional legal services.
Karen Boardman helped our family's SCorp update our corporate records about 8 months ago. She was personable, easy to communicate with, and through the work of her and her office staff, we now have the backlog of corporate paperwork legally "straightened up". She also set up the legal structure for our new LLC and was helpful in answerering our many emailed questions for a very reasonable fee. I can easily recommend her services.
As I was searching for an attorney to assist with estate planning and creating a will, my financial advisor at Morgan Stanley highly recommended Karen Boardman at Sellers, Ayers, Dortch & Lyons. I cannot express enough how grateful I was for the recommendation. Karen brings much expertise and knowledge, as well as being extremely thorough. I've been postponing this task for a very long time, as I had no idea where to start and the thought of writing my will was depressing. Karen made the experience delightful and honestly, very simple. Karen is truly a joy to work with, very honest and personable- highly recommended! Thank you Karen for everything, Hanna A.
I met Karen through a local professional network and liked how approachable she was about ideas and questions. When I decided to create my own business, Karen was thoughtful and attentive to details in establishing Versola Studios LLC. Today, I have what I need to continue to grow my business in the Durham-Chapel Hill area.
Karen was recommended by a trusted professional fried when I was first setting up my business. Karen has been very helpful in answering simple questions and not charging for every novice question I had. She has also been very timely in her responses and helped me set up my contracts in just a few days. Karen and the firm treats all their clients large or small with the same respect and importance.
