Karen Marie advises on establishing guardianship. Karen Marie is a trained mediator (conflict mediator) and, therefore, has tools to find constructive solutions in conflict cases such as cases about divorce and inheritance.

She has many years of experience in cases about children and often appears in the Family Court and the high courts in connection with the cases.

In addition, she is a licensed estate executor at the Probate Court in Viborg handling cases about the division of matrimonial property.

As a certified housing lawyer, she deals, among other things, with the purchase and sale of real estate and cooperative housing for private individuals.

Karen Marie is also the probate court's permanent assistant in debt relief cases. Thus, she has extensive experience in applying for and obtaining debt restructuring.

Finally, Karen Marie, as a court-assigned counsel in criminal cases, has in-depth knowledge of criminal law in all its facets and can litigate criminal proceedings before the courts both as a defence and a legal assistant for victims who, for example, have been sexually abused.

Karen Marie equals competence and results. She has a sense of finances, is forthright and acts. But at the same time, Karen Marie always has her heart in the right place, which makes her a good sparring partner in matters that are of a personal nature and, thus, also difficult for the individual to handle.
