About Karen

Karen considers it an honor to walk with foreign nationals during what can be a difficult immigration journey. While looking for a way to help address human rights issues in law school, she began serving at the Notre Dame Immigration Law Clinic and later interned as what is now known as the National Immigrant Justice Center.

Karen enjoys helping companies hire and retain talent. Her most memorable moment as an immigration lawyer was being with a client during an in-person interview where the USCIS Officer approved the client’s green card petition on the spot. The client was immensely grateful and insisted on taking Karen out to lunch at their favorite restaurant, where they celebrated together by eating food reminiscent of the client’s home country.

Since joining Zulkie Partners in 2006, Karen has been recognized by her peers as a “Leading Lawyer,” a distinction bestowed upon less than 5% of all lawyers licensed in each state. She and her husband teach elementary-age Sunday School at their church, investing in the character development of society’s future leaders.
