Karen Möhlenkamp

Competent tax attorney, but communication could be more consistent

I engaged Karen Möhlenkamp at MAYGREEN Tax & Legal to handle a complex state and federal tax issue stemming from the sale of a family-owned business. Her 12 years of focused experience in Tax Law were immediately apparent; she navigated the intricacies of capital gains and state nexus rules with clear expertise. Her recognition in the field of tax law is well-deserved from a technical standpoint. The strategy she developed was sound and ultimately achieved a favorable settlement with the IRS, which was our primary goal. However, the experience was not without its frustrations. While Karen is undoubtedly knowledgeable, there were periods where communication lagged. Responses to emails sometimes took several business days, and updates on case progress felt reactive rather than proactive. For a client in a stressful situation, this waiting created unnecessary anxiety. Additionally, the billing structure, while standard, felt rigid for the level of personal accessibility. In summary, Karen Möhlenkamp is a capable and skilled tax attorney who gets results. If your priority is pure technical proficiency over constant hand-holding, she is a solid choice. My three-star rating reflects competent legal work that met the core objective, paired with service aspects that were merely adequate and fell short of the seamless experience I had hoped for given her profile and Boston firm's reputation.
