Biography
Karen Charrington is a highly proficient litigator with a background as a prosecutor at the Bronx County District Attorney’s office, known for its high caseload in New York City. Starting as a Criminal Court Line Assistant, she progressed to become a Major Case Assistant handling the most severe criminal matters. During her tenure as an Assistant District Attorney, she honed her skills as a formidable litigator and trial lawyer. A key advantage of trial attorneys is their ability to anticipate case outcomes, which influences strategic decisions from the case's inception.
After leaving the District Attorney's Office in 2004, Karen Charrington assumed leadership of the Civil Litigation department at The Bozeman Law Firm, LLP, a boutique law firm in Westchester County. She oversaw cases involving Matrimonial, Personal Injury, Contract disputes, and various other matters slated for trial. Navigating the complexities of the New York Court system, she successfully resolved or litigated all pending civil cases. Additionally, she delved into the nuances of Matrimonial and Family law matters during her time at the firm.
Despite her focus on Criminal cases, Karen Charrington established her own law firm in 2005 to offer top-notch criminal defense services to individuals facing criminal charges. Leveraging her experience as a prosecutor, she effectively defended her clients while also providing strategic representation in Civil Litigation and Matrimonial cases.
