Karin D. Huffer, M.S., M.F.T.
Karin Huffer brings research on traumatic stress into the court process.
She confronts power differential that keeps litigation from a just conclusion,
demonstrates the effects of trauma on litigants and provides sound
documentation to eliminate legal games.
When needed, she designed accommodations that ensure access for those
with invisible afflictions.
She dispells myths such as, "a litigant with PTSD is an unfit parent," or,
"she/he has had many attorneys therefore her/his case cannot be sound,"
and other nonsense used to keep litigants from implementing their rights
to fair access.
She serves in cases involving:
Child Custody
Bankruptcy
Probate
Civil Court
Criminal Court
Divorce
