Karen joined Askews in 2019 to continue working alongside Karen Reardan with whom she had worked as a Legal Assistant for 17 years at Penmans.
Karen has assisted in all areas of family law including but not limited to; divorce, dissolution of civil partnership, financial settlement, child contact arrangements, Injunctions and Change of Name Deeds. Karen has experience in both privately funded cases and cases funded under the Legal Aid system. Karen’s specialist area is preparing and maintaining the client billing system as figure work is something she thoroughly enjoys. Karen also deals with the final costing of legally aided matters, having been trained in this area and having seen the transition from the old paper billing system to the current online system.
Outside of work, Karen’s interest is theatre, for which she has a total passion. In her youth Karen trained to be an actress at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School. She didn’t pursue a career in acting as having a family became more important to her, however, now that the family are all grown, Karen has reignited her love for theatre and established her own little theatre company here in Coventry.
I cannot thank Sumera enough for her assistance with my settlement agreement from work. She was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and proactive, making sure everything was handled quickly and efficiently. Her support made the whole process far less stressful.I would happily recommend Sumera at Askews to anyone needing legal advice, and I wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again.

I can’t express my gratitude enough for Mr Mohammad Farooq (criminal department), who was my solicitor during my criminal proceedings.He really believed in me from the start and knew I needed someone fighting my corner. Mr Farooq could see how much this was affecting me mentally as my situation had a big impact on the relationship with my two year old girl. He showed great empathy and kindness going above and beyond to keep me updated on all aspects of my case, making me feel he was there for me throughout if I needed him.He was very professional in his work and advice he gave me. He ensured all documents were uploaded on time and I recieved everything I requested in a timely manner. He quickly made himself available for any phone calls or meetings that I requested.Mr Farooq recommended and secured me an outstanding barrister and between them they ensured the right outcome at my trial. For that myself, my daughters and the rest of my family will be forever greatful.Thank you Mohammad, a true gentleman and credit to Askews Legal
