ATTORNEY & FOUNDER

Biography

When legal challenges arise, you need an attorney who’s not only experienced but strategic, results-driven, and deeply invested in your success. Licensed in Florida, North Carolina, and Washington, D.C., Karina delivers customized legal solutions in tax law, business and corporate law, immigration, and wills and estates—helping individuals, business owners, and corporations protect what matters most.

Proven Expertise. Powerful Results.

With a Juris Doctor from Georgetown Law, Karina built a strong foundation in corporate, international, and federal tax law while excelling in leadership roles. She has worked in top-tier law firms, major tax companies with TurboTax and H&R Block, and the courtroom—representing tenants in D.C.’s Landlord and Tenant Court as a Student Attorney.

Unlike many attorneys, Karina has hands-on tax experience—supervising tax preparation at VITA, advising on transfer pricing, and ensuring businesses stay compliant with complex financial regulations. Selected as a Google Legal Scholar, she’s recognized as a legal innovator who thinks ahead.

Fluent in Spanish and English, she brings a global perspective, having worked in Valencia, Spain, and traveled to 36 countries, giving her a deeper understanding of cross-border legal issues.
