Karen Johnson

Solicitor - Senior Associate Solicitor

SRA ID: 293508

I take time to listen to my clients, so that I can offer relevant advice in plain English, which addresses their concerns, guides them through the process, protects their interests and enables them to plan for a better future. I am based in our Colchester office, and am available for a free 15-minute chat over the phone on 01206 217305. I decided that I wanted to become a solicitor when I was 11 years old. It looked to me to be a job that would be interesting and varied. I considered that I had strong analytical and communication skills which allowed me to quickly assess a situation from all angles, and identify solutions to problems (including those not so obvious) and that being a solicitor would allow me to use those skills to help people. I work on a variety of different cases, dealing with issues such as pre and post-nuptial agreements, divorce and separation, finances, child arrangements and cases which involve domestic abuse. I am a Resolution Accredited Specialist in relation to Finance and Domestic Abuse and a Member of Resolution. Before moving to Birkett Long, I was Chair of the East Herts and Broxbourne DV forum, a charity which operated in Hertfordshire to help raise awareness of domestic abuse and the organisations involved in assisting victims of domestic abuse. I have also offered my time as an honorary solicitor at a number of local CABs. In my spare time, I like reading, going to the gym and walks in the local countryside.
