Kari was referred to me by a colleague to handle a workers' compensation claim involving significant permanent injuries. Not only did she get us a complete recovery in the work comp system, she recommended and pursued a civil action against third parties due to the faulty equipment at issue. I have dealt with other work comp attorneys and do not know of anyone else who would have put nearly as much thought, hard work and dedication into our case.
