Karen Pinkert-Lieb’s results as a family law attorney have led to extensive recognition, including being named Family Law Lawyer of the Year by Best Lawyers in America as well as the No. 1 Female Divorce Attorney by Leading Lawyers. “I am a strategist and I plan three steps ahead,” Pinkert-Lieb says. “My financial experience and background in psychology give me an advantage in arriving at creative solutions that my competitors may overlook,” she says. Pinkert-Lieb was the first woman to be elected to serve on her firm’s Executive Committee, a role she continues to enjoy. Dedicated to empowering her clients, Pinkert-Lieb has earned a reputation as a tenacious and empathetic advocate. She is consistently named as a Top 10 Family Law Attorney in Client Satisfaction by the American Institute of Family Law Attorneys. Pinkert-Lieb’s experience has led to a deep understanding of the problems faced by professional women who are going through divorce. In a society where gender roles are evolving and women are increasingly the primary breadwinners in the family, divorce proceedings can present unique challenges for professional women. Pinkert-Lieb has spent the last 30 years representing professional women and understands the hurdles that they often face in the legal system. “One of the most common obstacles faced by professional women during a divorce is the challenge to their role as the primary caretaker of their children,” she says. “These women often find themselves having to defend their choices, availability, and ability to provide a consistent and stable environment for their children.” Pinkert-Lieb is committed to dismantling the biases that exist against women who have elected, by necessity or otherwise, to have a career outside of the home.
