Jeffrey Howard
Navigating my high-conflict divorce and child custody case was one of the most stressful experiences of my life. From our first consultation at Farris LLP, Karen Shirley-Paterson provided a clear, strategic path forward. Her 14 years of experience in Detroit family law were immediately evident; she expertly managed the intricate financial disclosures and sensitive parenting time negotiations. What truly set her apart was her skill in alternative dispute resolution. She successfully steered us toward a mediated settlement, avoiding a protracted court battle, which was a tremendous relief for my children and me. Her recognition in both family law and ADR is well-deserved. Karen is a consummate professional who combines deep legal expertise with genuine compassion, securing an outcome that protects my family's future.
