She concentrates her practice at Nadeau Harkavy LLC in the area of serious personal injury. Attorney Nadeau has enjoyed great success winning cases in a wide range of personal injury matters, from car accidents and pedestrian injuries to multi-million dollar catastrophic injuries involving negligent individuals and some of the region's largest corporate entities. Karen has also enjoys considerable success representing victims of slip and fall accidents as well as dog bites and attacks, which often require a keen understanding of the case, skillful coordination of experts, and aggressive representation of the client. She is a zealous advocate for her clients and uses her legal acumen, skill, and experience to obtain the best possible results, either through artful settlement negotiation or meticulously prepared and delivered litigation.Karen is particularly adept in the nuances of negotiations with insurers, medical providers, corporations, and other attorneys. She has worked closely with area insurance companies and is exceptionally well-versed in their policies, common arguments, and burdens of proof. As Nadeau Harkavy LLC's owner and seasoned personal injury attorney, she has personally negotiated multi-million-dollar settlements for clients who suffered injuries at the hands of others, including negligent individuals and companies of all sizes. Often, these cases do not initially appear to have the value they ultimately reach in the eyes of insurers. Many are reluctant to offer full value in the hopes that those aggrieved by loss will accept a modest settlement offer, far below fair value. Karen, with her years of experience, knows that her negotiation strategies ensure the best result possible under the circumstances. She will not stop unless and until she is certain she has done everything she can for a client.In short, Karen is revered and respected by her clients, colleagues, judges, and opposing counsel as one of the most talented, dedicated, and passionate personal injury attorneys in the state. She gives her full time and attention to each case, with a plethora of experts and resources at her disposal to present the best case possible. She is not afraid to go toe-to-toe with the area's most powerful individuals and corporations to get what her clients rightfully deserve.

Karen and her team were able to help me to understand what to expect and how to obtain a fair outcome. She has the experience that one needs in these type of situations of personal injury. I am amazed at how good she truly is! I recommend her highly to anyone who has any type of injury.

I was severely injured while participating in an exercise class. The insurance company wanted to blame me but Karen Piso Nadeau knew better. She advocated for me and supported me throughout this difficult process. When the insurance company made a small offer, she went back again and again until they came up with an award I deserved. I can't state strongly enough how grateful I am and how wonderful it was to work with her. Tough, knowledgeable and compassionate.

Karen is the best. I highly recommend her. She fought so hard for my case and never gave up. She ended up getting me more of a settlement than i was expecting or thought possible. She is a fighter and a go getter. You definitely want her on your side. I recommend her to everyone I meet.

Karen Nadeau was the first attorney who did not turn down my case simply because it would be difficult to win and likely would not garner a high settlement. She was not phased! She took my case and treated it as though it was just as important as a high profile case. She communicated with me at every stage of the process, and she was patient and respectful in every correspondence. Her persistence and attention to detail led to winning an excellent settlement. I am extremely grateful for Karen Nadeau's service, and I thank her here by highly recommending her for any personal injury legal needs.

Putting trust in someone when a loved one is lying in hospital bed seriously injured was nerve racking for me. I called Bellotti Law the morning after my boyfriend got hit by a SUV cycling because I knew there were some serious injuries. They had someone there by the afternoon to document everything. Karen was the first person I worked with. She explained things very thoroughly as to how to get the best outcome and I made sure my boyfriend followed her advice to the letter. That advice made such an impact on the case in the long run. The hardest part was dealing with the frustration with the other guys insurance. The best way I can describe our attorney is a very smart pit bull. After 18 months we really didn't want to go to court unless absolutely necessary. She listened to all of our thoughts and concerns and got everything we asked for and more! When my boyfriend called to tell me the good news, I was standing in Costco and started crying. I'm genuinely grateful. I do know how money hungry lawyers are made out to be, but I respect the amount of quality work that the whole firm does to get results. Everyone there, from the moment you walk in to the moment things are concluded, is classy, professional, and efficient. I hope I never need another personal injury attorney again, but if I do you will certainly be my first call. Christina C.

I have known Karen for more than sixteen years, and regard her both as a colleague, and an impressive go-to person from early in my career. She is an exceptional personal injury attorney. I admire her energy, grace under pressure and creativity. Early in my professional life, I often sought her guidance and counsel in identifying and formulating legal issues in multi-faceted litigation, and welcomed her criticisms when drafting legal arguments. She frequently offered a unique perspective on difficult cases, which ultimately led to success and excellent results for clients.

In my previous job, I met numerous attorneys and had the pleasure to work with several over the years. None of them had expertise in car accident cases. I didn't know Karen before my accident, but she was recommended by a lawyer whose opinion I trust. I asked for a couple of names but he said there is only one name, Karen Nadeau, that he needed to give me. He spoke very highly of her and urged me to call her. When I found out that attorney Nadeau represents people with really serious injuries I first thought my case might be too small for her. When I told Karen my concern she gave me a warm smile and politely dismissed it. She reassured me that my case was important to her and that I would quickly learn that the entire office values its clients.

I could not thank Karen and her law firm enough for the representation she provided me during such a difficult time. She was incredibly responsive and tenacious battling the insurance company's attorney. I will be forever greatful for her.
