As a one-time college teacher of public speaking and communications, Karen Haase feels right at home in the courtroom. She loves trial work, especially translating the law for and dealing with people who are not legal professionals. As a storyteller and a lawyer, Karen finds it compelling that "we as a culture create our realities and truth by telling stories." Storytelling comes in handy with her two children. Although Karen is very vigilant about spending time with her husband and family, she is active in church, school and other community organizations.
