Biography

Karen Charrington is a highly-skilled trial attorney. She is a former prosecutor who was trained in the Bronx County District Attorney’s office, which has one of the highest volumes of cases in New York City. Ms. Charrington began her career as a Criminal Court Line Assistant and rose to the ranks of a Major Case Assistant handling the most serious criminal cases in the office. As an Assistant District Attorney, she was able to sharpen her skills as a no-nonsense litigator and trial attorney. Trial attorneys always have a leg up on the competition because they can see a case from the end, backward. Having knowledge of how a case will play out at trial is essential to how the case is handled from the very inception of the case. After leaving the District Attorney's Office in 2004, Ms. Charrington was hired to head the Civil Litigation department at a boutique law firm in Westchester County, The Bozeman Law Firm, LLP. This department was comprised of Matrimonial, Personal Injury, Contract disputes, and a wide range of other matters that were on a trial track. She navigated her way through the New York Court system, dissected the cases and ultimately settled or tried all of the firm’s pending civil cases. While at the firm, Ms. Charrington was also able to begin to master the intricacies in Matrimonial and Family law matters. Ms. Charrington always maintained her desire to handle Criminal cases, thus in 2005 Ms. Charrington founded a law firm that would provide quality criminal defense to those accused of a crime. Ms. Charrington parlayed her experience as a prosecutor to fight and defeat criminal charges against her clients, but her experience also allowed her to develop a Law Firm able to provide tactical and effective representation of her clients in Civil Litigation and Matrimonial cases.
