My name is Margie Karl, and for over 20 years, I have been a dedicated attorney serving individuals, families, and small businesses across the greater Cleveland area. As a native Ohioan living with my family in Olmsted Falls, I am deeply invested in our community.
My practice is built on a simple foundation: providing sound, understandable legal advice that helps you achieve your goals. With experience assisting nearly 4,000 clients, I offer a wide range of services, with a primary focus on estate planning, elder law, business law, and real estate.

A Personal Commitment to Planning
My path to becoming an attorney was deeply influenced by my own family's experiences. My father married later in life, and through him, I learned the profound importance of preparing for retirement and the unique challenges faced by our aging population. This personal insight fuels my commitment to providing clients with sound, forward-thinking advice. My practice is dedicated to assisting individuals and families who are making critical decisions about their health care, financial security, and end-of-life issues, ensuring they can face the future with confidence.
"I work hard to make sure you are comfortable with and understand the legal advice I give you. Your peace of mind is my priority."
Planning for the future can be confusing and frustrating, which often causes people to delay making these important decisions. I am here to simplify the process. I am responsive to my clients, with phone calls typically returned within a few hours. I am accessible, offering to meet wherever is most convenient—be it my office, your home, a care facility, or even a hospital room.
My fees are reasonable and affordable, because I believe everyone deserves high-quality legal guidance.
