About Karen Hendrickson

Since early in my career as a family law attorney and mediator, I have embraced the collaborative family law model. Collaborative divorce takes a holistic approach, addressing the needs of the entire family. In addition to divorce issues, I also work with parents to resolve co-parenting and child custody disagreements, and help to create pre-marital or post-marital agreements.

My personal philosophy embraces the tenet that whatever you do in life, do it because you like it, and approach it enthusiastically; do not hold back, and it will reward you. This is the cornerstone of my practice and subsequent relationships with my clients.
