Attorney Karen Goldman Zimmermann focuses exclusively on family law. Such matters include divorce, both traditional and collaborative, paternity, custody, support and property division issues. Her practice is limited to Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Waukesha and Washington Counties. She is a member of the State Bar of Wisconsin and Milwaukee, Ozaukee, and Washington Bar Associations.
Karen Zimmermann received her J.D. degree from Marquette University in May of 1982 and has been practicing family law ever since. As a seasoned leader in her field, she is a past officer and current member of the Southeastern Chapter of the Collaborative Family Law Council of Wisconsin, Inc., in which she has been involved since its inception.

Proper training and a thorough understanding and commitment to the collaborative process, she believes, is essential to its success. Her reputation, integrity and willingness to mentor others have inspired many to become involved in the collaborative divorce movement in southern Wisconsin.
