Karma is one of the most knowledgeable and dedicated family law and Domestic Violence attorneys in Seattle. She finds new and creative ways to support her clients obtain fair and just results when the system seems to fail them and other attorneys are at a loss of what to do. Not only is she extremely intelligent but she is very professional and respected. Despite being a family law attorney myself, I am always amazed at what I learn from her.

Karma was my divorce lawyer back in 2014, I was in a very bad situation dealing with very experienced litigator ex and his attorney ( the firm represent dad's). I was forced out of family home and no visitation at the beginning. Karma turned everything around where I back to family home and had my son back to me within the 2 weeks. she gets things done immediately and effectively . even the family court judge commented on her being a good lawyer. I worked with few attorneys nobody is like karma. Her fees are high but she worth every penny. She usually very busy, if you lucky enough to work with her, do it.

I sought a second opinion on my divorce case after quickly realizing the firm I had was using tactics to draw out fees and timeline with a less than optimal outcome. Upon meeting Karma, I realized many of the things told to me by my original firm were not true. For instance, I didn't need a temporary order which my attorney was vying for (and costing lots of money negotiating with opposing counsel.) Karma was direct and honest. She presented herself as very competent and laid out a strategy that appeared expedient. After switching firms to Ms. Zaike, she quickly got a trial date and it was an effective strategy at getting opposing counsel to make decisions and force a fixed timeline. After mediation was unsuccessful, opposing counsel quickly compromised because they did not want to go to trial. Overall, I was very happy with the outcome. Karma is an attorney who's heart is in the right place and she has a passion for doing the right thing with he legal chops to put forth a strategic plan for her clients. Karma's fees are higher than some but when you have someone that can get the job done expediently, it more than pays for itself.

I have worked with Karma several times in several different capacities and I find her skill and determination to be rare and refreshing. I trust her and recommend her unconditionally.

I hired Karma to handle my divorce and to make it as amicable as possible. She not only stayed within my expectations but to this day I have an extremely amicable relationship with my ex AND I STILL HAVE 100% ownership of my company. Karma really takes the time to listen, tell you what you don’t want to hear in order to get you the best outcome possible!

I thought that honest lawyers exist only in Hollywood movies where they are beautiful from outside and inside and are fighting against all bad for all good saving the whole world. And real lawyers are always look at you through their money glasses where you can see this $$$ reflection in their eyes. But now I know that professional and honest lawyers do exist because I met Karma Zaike. She won’t start working with you if you are not honest and not reasonable yourself. Her service is not cheap but we live in one of the most expensive cities in one of the most expensive countries. And you get what you paid for. After very hard two years long divorce that I was not initiated I can say that she deserves each dollar charged and worked hard for it. She won ALL my numerous court hearing. After living in the basement of my friend’s house alone I live in my house with my daughter again and I have my life back. Karma is always prepared for the hearings, always have plan A, B and C, she discusses it with you, explain all these difficult terms and turns, makes you understand all options and steps, her calculations are always right. Her professional knowledge is outstanding. I was witnessing how judges and commissioners asked her during the hearing about some law related things using her as some law Wikipedia. Besides decent education, knowledge and preparation to each hearing she works very efficiently during the hearing. I was very impressed watching how fast she observes incoming information, makes some notes, formulas, calculations, compile something and responses fast and efficient. During this long divorce many times I had to sit in the court rooms and wait for my turn and I had to listen other cases and to see other attorneys. And I always conclude for myself: I have the best one! I recommended Karma Zaike already and will always recommend her as a family attorney. Especially for difficult cases. P.S. It is very strange to see these one star reviews. Their content looks like made from the same template and don’t believe it . I will not be surprise if they were made by some other parties that lost in the courtroom to Karma.

Karma is the Lawyer you want if you are in a difficult divorce. She is very intelligent and gets right to the point. Having the right lawyer is essential and I have recommended her many, many times already by word of mouth. When I was embarking on my divorce an expert in a related field told me "Karma is the best" and I thought to myself that I wanted and needed the best person out there helping me though my very difficult time.

Karma has been been attorney managing my child custody matters regarding my daughter for the last 16 years. Yes for the last 16 years! Karma has been nothing less than ultimately professional and ethical and in the end I always felt like she had my best interest at heart as a client. Karma practices and conducts herself with the upmost matter of integrity and honestly. I found her to be punctual and she conducts herself with the upmost matter of professionalism. I can tell you for years Karma always presented the facts to me, what to expect and fair options I had to consider regarding family matters with my daughter. Fighting family matters is never easy. Being a responsible parent and adult in the eyes of our justice system is harder. Having Karma is your court makes it better. Karma will be my attorney for years to come regarding my daughter. The system is not easy to fight - Trust me I feel for parents out there. We want what is best for our kids and Karma will be in your court. I can't say enough about her professionalism and how she she has helped me.

I was in a lose lose situation with a ferocious ex and his lawyer. Without her, my family would have endured a terrible injustice, as only she had the best interest of my children in mind. She also referred me and the children to amazing counseling services that has helped us heal from the harrassment.

The best attorney I've ever used Through a very long and painful divorce/custody fight, I've employed three different attorneys. Two for my divorce case and Karma for my custody fight. I can easily say...with no hesitation...that I WISH I'd have found Karma earlier. Had she been my divorce attorney, I wouldn't have had to go through the custody fight!! She is a quick study of the situation and can get the lay of the land down easily. She "gets" the idiosyncrasies of dealing with both the crazy ex, the crazy ex's attorney AND the court. After being told by my 2nd divorce attorney that I'd "NEVER" get full custody of my kids, I wasted two additional years of my life watching them be put through hell with their father. When I decided to try again, Karma said she couldn't believe the ex had any custody (he had a DV conviction and the guardian ad litem recommended only supervised visits) and we'd do all we could to get it done right. And she did. She is worth every penny of her fee. You will not be sorry if you hire Karma Zaike.

She not only stayed within my expectations but to this day I have an extremely amicable relationship with my ex AND I STILL HAVE 100% ownership of my company. Karma really takes the time to listen, tell you what you don’t want to hear in order to get you the best outcome possible!

I thought that honest lawyers exist only in Hollywood movies where they are beautiful from outside and inside and are fighting against all bad for all good saving the whole world. And real lawyers are always look at you through their money glasses where you can see this $$$ reflection in their eyes. But now I know that professional and honest lawyers do exist because I met Karma Zaike. She won’t start working with you if you are not honest and not reasonable yourself. Her service is not cheap but we live in one of the most expensive cities in one of the most expensive countries. And you get what you paid for. After very hard two years long divorce that I was not initiated I can say that she deserves each dollar charged and worked hard for it. She won ALL my numerous court hearing. After living in the basement of my friend’s house alone I live in my house with my daughter again and I have my life back. Karma is always prepared for the hearings, always have plan A, B and C, she discusses it with you, explain all these difficult terms and turns, makes you understand all options and steps, her calculations are always right. Her professional knowledge is outstanding. I was witnessing how judges and commissioners asked her during the hearing about some law related things using her as some law Wikipedia. Besides decent education, knowledge and preparation to each hearing she works very efficiently during the hearing. I was very impressed watching how fast she observes incoming information, makes some notes, formulas, calculations, compile something and responses fast and efficient. During this long divorce many times I had to sit in the court rooms and wait for my turn and I had to listen other cases and to see other attorneys. And I always conclude for myself: I have the best one! I recommended Karma Zaike already and will always recommend her as a family attorney. Especially for difficult cases. P.S. It is very strange to see these one star reviews. Their content looks like made from the same template and don’t believe it . I will not be surprise if they were made by some other parties that lost in the courtroom to Karma.

Karma is the Lawyer you want if you are in a difficult divorce. She is very intelligent and gets right to the point. Having the right lawyer is essential and I have recommended her many, many times already by word of mouth. When I was embarking on my divorce an expert in a related field told me "Karma is the best" and I thought to myself that I wanted and needed the best person out there helping me though my very difficult time.

Karma has been been attorney managing my child custody matters regarding my daughter for the last 16 years. Yes for the last 16 years! Karma has been nothing less than ultimately professional and ethical and in the end I always felt like she had my best interest at heart as a client. Karma practices and conducts herself with the upmost matter of integrity and honestly. I found her to be punctual and she conducts herself with the upmost matter of professionalism. I can tell you for years Karma always presented the facts to me, what to expect and fair options I had to consider regarding family matters with my daughter. Fighting family matters is never easy. Being a responsible parent and adult in the eyes of our justice system is harder. Having Karma is your court makes it better. Karma will be my attorney for years to come regarding my daughter. The system is not easy to fight - Trust me I feel for parents out there. We want what is best for our kids and Karma will be in your court. I can't say enough about her professionalism and how she she has helped me.

I was in a lose lose situation with a ferocious ex and his lawyer. Without her, my family would have endured a terrible injustice, as only she had the best interest of my children in mind. She also referred me and the children to amazing counseling services that has helped us heal from the harrassment.

The best attorney I've ever used Through a very long and painful divorce/custody fight, I've employed three different attorneys. Two for my divorce case and Karma for my custody fight. I can easily say...with no hesitation...that I WISH I'd have found Karma earlier. Had she been my divorce attorney, I wouldn't have had to go through the custody fight!! She is a quick study of the situation and can get the lay of the land down easily. She "gets" the idiosyncrasies of dealing with both the crazy ex, the crazy ex's attorney AND the court. After being told by my 2nd divorce attorney that I'd "NEVER" get full custody of my kids, I wasted two additional years of my life watching them be put through hell with their father. When I decided to try again, Karma said she couldn't believe the ex had any custody (he had a DV conviction and the guardian ad litem recommended only supervised visits) and we'd do all we could to get it done right. And she did. She is worth every penny of her fee. You will not be sorry if you hire Karma Zaike.

Karma is one of the most knowledgeable and dedicated family law and Domestic Violence attorneys in Seattle. She finds new and creative ways to support her clients obtain fair and just results when the system seems to fail them and other attorneys are at a loss of what to do. Not only is she extremely intelligent but she is very professional and respected. Despite being a family law attorney myself, I am always amazed at what I learn from her.

Karma was my divorce lawyer back in 2014, I was in a very bad situation dealing with very experienced litigator ex and his attorney ( the firm represent dad's). I was forced out of family home and no visitation at the beginning. Karma turned everything around where I back to family home and had my son back to me within the 2 weeks. she gets things done immediately and effectively . even the family court judge commented on her being a good lawyer. I worked with few attorneys nobody is like karma. Her fees are high but she worth every penny. She usually very busy, if you lucky enough to work with her, do it.

I sought a second opinion on my divorce case after quickly realizing the firm I had was using tactics to draw out fees and timeline with a less than optimal outcome. Upon meeting Karma, I realized many of the things told to me by my original firm were not true. For instance, I didn't need a temporary order which my attorney was vying for (and costing lots of money negotiating with opposing counsel.) Karma was direct and honest. She presented herself as very competent and laid out a strategy that appeared expedient. After switching firms to Ms. Zaike, she quickly got a trial date and it was an effective strategy at getting opposing counsel to make decisions and force a fixed timeline. After mediation was unsuccessful, opposing counsel quickly compromised because they did not want to go to trial. Overall, I was very happy with the outcome. Karma is an attorney who's heart is in the right place and she has a passion for doing the right thing with he legal chops to put forth a strategic plan for her clients. Karma's fees are higher than some but when you have someone that can get the job done expediently, it more than pays for itself.

Karma practices and conducts herself with the upmost matter of integrity and honestly. I found her to be punctual and she conducts herself with the upmost matter of professionalism. I can tell you for years Karma always presented the facts to me, what to expect and fair options I had to consider regarding family matters with my daughter. Fighting family matters is never easy. Being a responsible parent and adult in the eyes of our justice system is harder. Having Karma is your court makes it better. Karma will be my attorney for years to come regarding my daughter. The system is not easy to fight - Trust me I feel for parents out there. We want what is best for our kids and Karma will be in your court. I can't say enough about her professionalism and how she she has helped me.

I was in a lose lose situation with a ferocious ex and his lawyer. Without her, my family would have endured a terrible injustice, as only she had the best interest of my children in mind. She also referred me and the children to amazing counseling services that has helped us heal from the harrassment.

The best attorney I've ever used Through a very long and painful divorce/custody fight, I've employed three different attorneys. Two for my divorce case and Karma for my custody fight. I can easily say...with no hesitation...that I WISH I'd have found Karma earlier. Had she been my divorce attorney, I wouldn't have had to go through the custody fight!! She is a quick study of the situation and can get the lay of the land down easily. She "gets" the idiosyncrasies of dealing with both the crazy ex, the crazy ex's attorney AND the court. After being told by my 2nd divorce attorney that I'd "NEVER" get full custody of my kids, I wasted two additional years of my life watching them be put through hell with their father. When I decided to try again, Karma said she couldn't believe the ex had any custody (he had a DV conviction and the guardian ad litem recommended only supervised visits) and we'd do all we could to get it done right. And she did. She is worth every penny of her fee. You will not be sorry if you hire Karma Zaike.

Karma is one of the most knowledgeable and dedicated family law and Domestic Violence attorneys in Seattle. She finds new and creative ways to support her clients obtain fair and just results when the system seems to fail them and other attorneys are at a loss of what to do. Not only is she extremely intelligent but she is very professional and respected. Despite being a family law attorney myself, I am always amazed at what I learn from her.

Karma was my divorce lawyer back in 2014, I was in a very bad situation dealing with very experienced litigator ex and his attorney ( the firm represent dad's). I was forced out of family home and no visitation at the beginning. Karma turned everything around where I back to family home and had my son back to me within the 2 weeks. she gets things done immediately and effectively . even the family court judge commented on her being a good lawyer. I worked with few attorneys nobody is like karma. Her fees are high but she worth every penny. She usually very busy, if you lucky enough to work with her, do it.

I sought a second opinion on my divorce case after quickly realizing the firm I had was using tactics to draw out fees and timeline with a less than optimal outcome. Upon meeting Karma, I realized many of the things told to me by my original firm were not true. For instance, I didn't need a temporary order which my attorney was vying for (and costing lots of money negotiating with opposing counsel.) Karma was direct and honest. She presented herself as very competent and laid out a strategy that appeared expedient. After switching firms to Ms. Zaike, she quickly got a trial date and it was an effective strategy at getting opposing counsel to make decisions and force a fixed timeline. After mediation was unsuccessful, opposing counsel quickly compromised because they did not want to go to trial. Overall, I was very happy with the outcome. Karma is an attorney who's heart is in the right place and she has a passion for doing the right thing with he legal chops to put forth a strategic plan for her clients. Karma's fees are higher than some but when you have someone that can get the job done expediently, it more than pays for itself.

I hired Karma to handle my divorce and to make it as amicable as possible. She not only stayed within my expectations but to this day I have an extremely amicable relationship with my ex AND I STILL HAVE 100% ownership of my company. Karma really takes the time to listen, tell you what you don’t want to hear in order to get you the best outcome possible!

I thought that honest lawyers exist only in Hollywood movies where they are beautiful from outside and inside and are fighting against all bad for all good saving the whole world. And real lawyers are always look at you through their money glasses where you can see this $$$ reflection in their eyes. But now I know that professional and honest lawyers do exist because I met Karma Zaike. She won’t start working with you if you are not honest and not reasonable yourself. Her service is not cheap but we live in one of the most expensive cities in one of the most expensive countries. And you get what you paid for. After very hard two years long divorce that I was not initiated I can say that she deserves each dollar charged and worked hard for it. She won ALL my numerous court hearing. After living in the basement of my friend’s house alone I live in my house with my daughter again and I have my life back. Karma is always prepared for the hearings, always have plan A, B and C, she discusses it with you, explain all these difficult terms and turns, makes you understand all options and steps, her calculations are always right. Her professional knowledge is outstanding. I was witnessing how judges and commissioners asked her during the hearing about some law related things using her as some law Wikipedia. Besides decent education, knowledge and preparation to each hearing she works very efficiently during the hearing. I was very impressed watching how fast she observes incoming information, makes some notes, formulas, calculations, compile something and responses fast and efficient. During this long divorce many times I had to sit in the court rooms and wait for my turn and I had to listen other cases and to see other attorneys. And I always conclude for myself: I have the best one! I recommended Karma Zaike already and will always recommend her as a family attorney. Especially for difficult cases. P.S. It is very strange to see these one star reviews. Their content looks like made from the same template and don’t believe it . I will not be surprise if they were made by some other parties that lost in the courtroom to Karma.

Karma is the Lawyer you want if you are in a difficult divorce. She is very intelligent and gets right to the point. Having the right lawyer is essential and I have recommended her many, many times already by word of mouth. When I was embarking on my divorce an expert in a related field told me "Karma is the best" and I thought to myself that I wanted and needed the best person out there helping me though my very difficult time.

Karma turned everything around where I back to family home and had my son back to me within the 2 weeks. she gets things done immediately and effectively . even the family court judge commented on her being a good lawyer. I worked with few attorneys nobody is like karma. Her fees are high but she worth every penny. She usually very busy, if you lucky enough to work with her, do it.

I sought a second opinion on my divorce case after quickly realizing the firm I had was using tactics to draw out fees and timeline with a less than optimal outcome. Upon meeting Karma, I realized many of the things told to me by my original firm were not true. For instance, I didn't need a temporary order which my attorney was vying for (and costing lots of money negotiating with opposing counsel.) Karma was direct and honest. She presented herself as very competent and laid out a strategy that appeared expedient. After switching firms to Ms. Zaike, she quickly got a trial date and it was an effective strategy at getting opposing counsel to make decisions and force a fixed timeline. After mediation was unsuccessful, opposing counsel quickly compromised because they did not want to go to trial. Overall, I was very happy with the outcome. Karma is an attorney who's heart is in the right place and she has a passion for doing the right thing with he legal chops to put forth a strategic plan for her clients. Karma's fees are higher than some but when you have someone that can get the job done expediently, it more than pays for itself.

I have worked with Karma several times in several different capacities and I find her skill and determination to be rare and refreshing. I trust her and recommend her unconditionally.

I hired Karma to handle my divorce and to make it as amicable as possible. She not only stayed within my expectations but to this day I have an extremely amicable relationship with my ex AND I STILL HAVE 100% ownership of my company. Karma really takes the time to listen, tell you what you don’t want to hear in order to get you the best outcome possible!

I thought that honest lawyers exist only in Hollywood movies where they are beautiful from outside and inside and are fighting against all bad for all good saving the whole world. And real lawyers are always look at you through their money glasses where you can see this $$$ reflection in their eyes. But now I know that professional and honest lawyers do exist because I met Karma Zaike. She won’t start working with you if you are not honest and not reasonable yourself. Her service is not cheap but we live in one of the most expensive cities in one of the most expensive countries. And you get what you paid for. After very hard two years long divorce that I was not initiated I can say that she deserves each dollar charged and worked hard for it. She won ALL my numerous court hearing. After living in the basement of my friend’s house alone I live in my house with my daughter again and I have my life back. Karma is always prepared for the hearings, always have plan A, B and C, she discusses it with you, explain all these difficult terms and turns, makes you understand all options and steps, her calculations are always right. Her professional knowledge is outstanding. I was witnessing how judges and commissioners asked her during the hearing about some law related things using her as some law Wikipedia. Besides decent education, knowledge and preparation to each hearing she works very efficiently during the hearing. I was very impressed watching how fast she observes incoming information, makes some notes, formulas, calculations, compile something and responses fast and efficient. During this long divorce many times I had to sit in the court rooms and wait for my turn and I had to listen other cases and to see other attorneys. And I always conclude for myself: I have the best one! I recommended Karma Zaike already and will always recommend her as a family attorney. Especially for difficult cases. P.S. It is very strange to see these one star reviews. Their content looks like made from the same template and don’t believe it . I will not be surprise if they were made by some other parties that lost in the courtroom to Karma.

Karma is the Lawyer you want if you are in a difficult divorce. She is very intelligent and gets right to the point. Having the right lawyer is essential and I have recommended her many, many times already by word of mouth. When I was embarking on my divorce an expert in a related field told me "Karma is the best" and I thought to myself that I wanted and needed the best person out there helping me though my very difficult time.

Karma has been been attorney managing my child custody matters regarding my daughter for the last 16 years. Yes for the last 16 years! Karma has been nothing less than ultimately professional and ethical and in the end I always felt like she had my best interest at heart as a client. Karma practices and conducts herself with the upmost matter of integrity and honestly. I found her to be punctual and she conducts herself with the upmost matter of professionalism. I can tell you for years Karma always presented the facts to me, what to expect and fair options I had to consider regarding family matters with my daughter. Fighting family matters is never easy. Being a responsible parent and adult in the eyes of our justice system is harder. Having Karma is your court makes it better. Karma will be my attorney for years to come regarding my daughter. The system is not easy to fight - Trust me I feel for parents out there. We want what is best for our kids and Karma will be in your court. I can't say enough about her professionalism and how she she has helped me.

I was in a lose lose situation with a ferocious ex and his lawyer. Without her, my family would have endured a terrible injustice, as only she had the best interest of my children in mind. She also referred me and the children to amazing counseling services that has helped us heal from the harrassment.

The best attorney I've ever used Through a very long and painful divorce/custody fight, I've employed three different attorneys. Two for my divorce case and Karma for my custody fight. I can easily say...with no hesitation...that I WISH I'd have found Karma earlier. Had she been my divorce attorney, I wouldn't have had to go through the custody fight!! She is a quick study of the situation and can get the lay of the land down easily. She "gets" the idiosyncrasies of dealing with both the crazy ex, the crazy ex's attorney AND the court. After being told by my 2nd divorce attorney that I'd "NEVER" get full custody of my kids, I wasted two additional years of my life watching them be put through hell with their father. When I decided to try again, Karma said she couldn't believe the ex had any custody (he had a DV conviction and the guardian ad litem recommended only supervised visits) and we'd do all we could to get it done right. And she did. She is worth every penny of her fee. You will not be sorry if you hire Karma Zaike.

Karma is one of the most knowledgeable and dedicated family law and Domestic Violence attorneys in Seattle. She finds new and creative ways to support her clients obtain fair and just results when the system seems to fail them and other attorneys are at a loss of what to do. Not only is she extremely intelligent but she is very professional and respected. Despite being a family law attorney myself, I am always amazed at what I learn from her.
