About Karen Winner

Karen Winner is author of Divorced From Justice: The Abuse of Women and Children By Divorce Lawyers and Judges, (Regan Books/Harper Collins) and creator of the Divorced From Justice Website. A former policy analyst and investigative writer for the New York City Department of Consumer Affairs, Karen Winner uses these venues to demonstrate how divorce clients, especially women, are often financially defrauded and manipulated by their attorneys - the very lawyers they pay to protect their interests. She also explains how women are subjected to "dirty tricks" by opposing lawyers and discriminated against by prejudiced judges. Most important, Winner offers invaluable advice and guidance for women as to how they can protect themselves and their children from such abuses. Winner is currently working as a freelance journalist in New York City. She has written for Newsday and The San Francisco Chronicle, among other publications, and has made national television appearances on Burden of Proof, Inside Edition, and Geraldo, among others, to discuss the divorce issue.
