About

I am of counsel at the law firm of Frey Buck, P.S.  I have a widely varied general litigation practice, with emphasis on property/title disputes, defense of governmental agencies and officers for allegations of police misconduct and civil rights violations and in inquest proceedings following officer-involved fatalities. My practice also includes estate planning, probate administration and probate litigation.  I offer discounts to law enforcement officers and CLC members. I have served as a law school student mentor through the King County Washington Women Lawyers and have been a guest lecturer for Pretrial Advocacy at Seattle University School of Law. I developed a training program to assist officers in dealing with officer involved-fatalities and am a certified force analyst through the Force Science Institute, Ltd.I have 5 times been named a “Rising Star” by Washington Law & Politics and present on probate topics for continuing legal education.  I currently serve on the non-profit boards of REST - Real Escape from the Sex Trade and Waterfront Landings, Home Owner's Association. Prior to attending law school, I worked for seven years in the insurance industry, the majority as an insurance fraud investigator. I was very involved in the Puget Sound Special Investigators Association (P.S.S.I.) and obtained my Fraud Claims Law Specialist designation, eventually leading to law school. I was born and raised in Minnesota and migrated to the Pacific Northwest after graduating from the University of Minnesota-Duluth with a degree in Criminology.My passion is traveling as often as possible, with the goal of a new country every year. Although a novice, I love to photograph my travels. I previously served on my church advisory council and have been involved in women's and youth ministries, participating as a leader on missions to a Jamaican school for the deaf; to San Luis Potosi, Mexico with an inner-city ministry team; and Biloxi, Mississippi to assist with hurricane relief efforts.

Karen is compassionate. I was in the midst of a dire circumstance, in which the law was not in my favor. My health insurance demanded reimbursement of surgery expenses after confirming they would pay for the surgery prior to the procedure date. Karen empathized with my situation, identified whether or not we had a strong case, negotiated to her best ability, then advised me accordingly. Unfortunately we did not have a strong case, however, I did receive the best reimbursement reduction possible. Given my abnormal circumstances, Karen waved all her attorney fees. Most are apprehensive when consulting with an attorney, as bills can add up. Karen works for her clients, not just a paycheck. Attorney’s who navigate with their moral compass are exactly what one needs when faced with a dire circumstance, and I am fortunate I had Karen.
