One Wire Story. A $190 Million Settlement. Nearly 9,000 Women.
That's what was publicly reported after the AP broke a Johns Hopkins mass tort — picked up same-day by The Washington Post, NPR and NBC News, on a day the news cycle was supposed to belong to U.S.-Russia tensions — while $50 million was still the number being floated. I ran communications on that case. Since my Dow Jones newsroom days, I've spent 25 years building that same kind of coverage for plaintiff-side firms, pre-filing through verdict.

The Person You're Working With
Twenty-five years of plaintiff-side litigation communications, run by the person who actually does the work — not handed off to a team.
Institutions fight lawsuits with sophisticated, well-funded operations designed to shape public perception before a complaint is even filed. You need an answer. That is where I come in.
- Decades of Experience: I bring 25 years of plaintiff-side litigation communications, handling the largest mass torts, MDLs, and catastrophic injury cases in the country.
- The Reporter's Perspective: I am a former Dow Jones reporter. I know exactly what creates a story and how it gets placed because I spent years deciding what made the front page.
- Direct Access, Built to Scale: I'm your single point of contact and I personally oversee every matter from day one. Depending on what the case needs, I bring in trusted people I've worked with for years — including Susan Oliver on survivor communications — scaled to the matter, never a rotating cast of strangers.
- Total Alignment: I unite your co-counsel and experts to ensure your narrative is bulletproof. When the defense looks for gaps in your story, they find nothing.
No associates, no account managers — every matter runs through me directly.
From mass torts and product liability to sexual assault litigation and Gold Star Family claims, every matter runs through the same system — see the full range on Practice Areas. Case outcomes depend on the specific facts of each matter; past results do not guarantee a similar outcome in future cases.
The Case Outside the Courtroom
Billion-dollar companies don't just defend lawsuits — they run communications operations built to shape public perception and manage press access to your clients. That's exactly what a plaintiff-side communications strategy is built to counter.
“Karen has the ability to get press no one else seems to get. She understands false narratives and knows how to tell the real story. Her media connections are unmatched.”
Every matter runs the same four stages, so nothing gets left to improvisation mid-case.
