About

I am a family law attorney located in Concord, Massachusetts. I love the law and I am especially passionate about family law. I like developing personal relationships with my clients and seeing them through some of their toughest times. My focus is always what's best for the client. There are many times I have disagreed with a particular course of action a client wanted to take, but the best I can do is give them all the options and explain the consequences of a particular choice. At the end of the day it's not important to me that we win, but that whatever we get will work for my client's lifestyle. I also have extensive experience dealing with domestic violence and regularly do pro bono work for the Victim Rights Law Center in Boston.

If you’re reading this review, you and I probably had quite a bit in common at one point in life. If this is true, hopefully my testimony can help you with your decision making process. When I first made my decision to cut ties with my wife I met with a few different lawyers before making my final decision to go with Mansur Law. The confidence that they displayed in their ability to protect my assets and I made choosing them to represent me a no brainer. Sure enough they delivered 10 fold. Being Active Duty military, the dichotomy of my situation went from complicated to a living nightmare, fast. My spouse attempted to go after my career by means of slander and false allegations. Karla was there with me every step of the way and ensured that my career was protected along with my assets. Her emotional investment in my particular situation during some of worst days was the affirmation that I needed to know that I made the best decision when choosing someone to represent me. In the end, I was more than satisfied with the outcome and I was even more grateful for everything Karla and her team did for me. A special thanks to Meghan and Joleen for all their work for me as well. If you’re on fence about choosing a lawyer just ask yourself would you bring a knife to a gun fight? With keeping my personal experience in mind, If I had equate Karla’s services to a firearm, she would without a shadow of a doubt be the best weapon in the arsenal. I hope you make the right decision. Good luck

Attorney Karla Mansur was my divorce layer. I recommend her especially if your divorce case requires limited assistance. She provides flexible service that fits your special needs, she is honest and charges fairly, and is understanding and considerate. Before I hired her, my husband and I already reached terms on separation agreement. Since I was overseas then and would not be able to return for the divorce, I needed a lawyer who could convert our draft agreement to a legal document, and present it to the court on my behalf. When I had an interview with her on the phone, Karla happily agreed to take my case, at a cost much lower than those for cases needing a lawyer’s intervention to reach agreement. I was also impressed by her honesty. When I asked whether she would charge extra if I paid my legal fees with credit card, she said charging extra amount is illegal. And she promised to get my divorce certificate from the court for me when she visited the court after the divorce was over, and mail it to my address abroad. Before Karla, one of the lawyers I interviewed claimed to have been a divorce lawyer for 19 years and go to the court all the time. She told me that she only accepts personal checks for payments, and if I paid with credit card, she would need to charge an extra percentage. She also said that she had to make special trips to and from the court to pick up my divorce certificate, which would be charged at more than $300 an hour (maybe $400 or $450, I do not remember the exact amount). Wait a second, did not you just say you go to the court all the time? Can’t you just pick it up when you are at the court on behalf of other clients? I did not dare to hire this lawyer because she would have all kinds of reasons to pile up the bill. Since my husband and I agreed to execute the agreement terms before submitting documents to the court, I expected my divorce to end about three months after hiring Karla. However, my husband lied endlessly and created all kinds of hassles during the process, which entailed more than 5 months’ unnecessary delays. Karla had been very patient and understanding along the way. I felt that she was behind me all the time, and her support and considerateness made the frustrating and lengthy process a little more tolerable. I also want to thank Joleen, the paralegal, for her conscientious work. She kept a record of all the documents related to my case, scanned and emailed electronic copies to me before mailing them to me, in case anything got lost during international shipments.

I could not be more thankful to The Mansur Law Group. They were very caring, patient and helpful. They took the time to really listen and hear me out. Outstanding work ethic demonstrated throughout the process and a very satisfying final outcome. Very grateful to Karla and the rest of the staff for being patient with me and supporting me through a very difficult divorce. If you're looking for a firm that treats its clients with the upmost respect and care then I highly recommend Karla Mansur to represent you.

I first met with Karla Mansur over a college payment issue that was stipulated by a mediated agreement - getting access to a 529 in order to pay for our daughter's college bills. I hired Karla to help me obtain reimbursement for out-of-pocket payments made while being shut out of the account, and to assure that future payments would be made. She miraculously did both! She worked closely with me throughout the process, and struck the fine balance of getting the job done in a compassionate yet effective way. She is both caring and capable of getting the job done. I highly recommend her services.

I want to highly recommend Karla mansur. I had a pretty unique circumstances. A man with an extremely volitie spouse. When I net Karla I had hit a real low point in my life. My marriage dissolved, I was constantly worrying about my children and custody . I worried about my house and my bank account had been dried up by my ex. I was super depressed and Karla rescued me. She made me feel comfortable and confident. As a husband the odds are already well stacked against you even if you are playing by all the rules. Karla made me let go of my self, I let her drive a huge portion of my life and she drove a perfectly straight coarse. Karla has fierce tenacity, she is extremely organized, punctual and knowledgeable. Ginny her legal aid, kept a clear line of communication and had me over prepare all documents and financial statements. Don't be fooled by karlas small stature- she is a true fighter and one tough woman. My divorce cost me 12k , that's cheap. And honestly that's what it'll cost you. A lot of lawyers say 2-3k retainer to get you in the door. Karlas is 5k and worth every penny. So don't let that direct your decision. As long as Karla is in practice I will not seek other consul. She was able to pull me through the toughest part of my life and I came out on top. If you are honest with her she will believe in you and make your case. She knows a lot of people and has dealt with many judges in the cambridge probate court system. I think this makes a difference in the out come. Karla's office is in concord, so it makes it very convenient if you live in Suffolk, middlesex , Merrimack counties. Again, if you are a man in need of a great divorce attorney, Karla Mansur will take care of you I promise.

I met Karla through the VRC, she had just started her practice. As a young attorney she took on my divorce case (which involved aggressive attorneys who had been in practice for over 20 years). I immediately felt extremely comfortable with her. She was tough but realistic. She explained the entire process, always gave updates, and after a long battle was able to successfully close my case, and put the ordeal behind me. She is smart, has great judgment and understands the processes extremely well. She is not afraid to take on complicated case, with multiple moving parts. I came to her again with a child support case, in which she not only uncovered a vast amount of information, but was able to successfully and quickly solve my case with the best possible outcomes. I would highly recommend her.

My case is very complicated and Karla listens carefully and understands all the nuances. She has worked with people who have experienced domestic violence and is especially knowledgeable about why litigation is so difficult for them.

At such a difficult time in my life I knew I needed someone I could trust. After a little research I was referred to Karla. In talking with Karla on the phone for the first time she was very knowledgable about Family Law and sympathetic to my feelings and concerns. Karla listened to what I had to say and gave me no pressure for me to come into the office until I was ready to move forward. I set up an appointment to meet with Karla and I chose to hire her the same day. Karla was right on point keeping me updated with everything going on as well as upcoming scheduled dates. To ensure that we were prepared well in advance of any court dates. Some may look at her as if she is too young but there is no doubt in my mind that I made the right choice in Karla!

I must take this moment to share with you my experience with Karla M. Mansur and the representation I was privileged to obtain through her office. Karla was supportive and encouraging from the moment we met to our last hand shake after court. She discussed her fees and the court’s fees, not only in advance, but while we moved along through the proceedings. More importantly, she advised me on the most inexpensive ways to continue moving forward without sacrificing the efficiency or effectiveness of our relationship. She returned phone calls and emails promptly and spent as much time with me as I requested or as I needed. Her explanations and teachings of what was going on and how it was going to work were top notch, truly helpful and gave me a peace of mind. This was not a matter of the attorney getting wealthy because of a divorce; this was a testament of an attorney being fair, professional, caring and understanding; a partnership. Don’t misunderstand Karla’s pleasantries when you speak with her because when she represents you, you will see a truly experienced, confident, persuasive and professional protector at her best – for your best. In my career I work with many attorneys and I can, without hesitation, call Karla M. Mansur, Best In Class!
