Kara is absolutely amazing! She cares and helped me resolve my dissolution of marriage as quickly as she could. She is fair in her fees and dealings with both parties. She knows when to be assertive or aggressive, especially when my ex and his attorney played games. She is truly a rare gem. I was very fortunate to have found her. She is down-to-earth and hit the ground running the moment I hired her. Prior to hiring Kara, I had to let go of my other attorney who did not communicate at all for over a month and billed me over $2000 for simply reading my case documents. My case didn't gain any traction

Kara was absolutely wonderful to work with. She was professional, knowledgeable and exceptionally responsive making the entire experience so much easier and stress free. Lillian, Kara's office manager, was equally amazing and helpful!
I absolutely recommend Foster Hsu for great legal representation and consulting.

Lydia is wonderful to work with. She walked me through what was happening every step of the way and ensured I understood the process. I appreciate how easy she is to talk to, her compassionate demeanor, and how knowledgeable she is. I would recommend her to anyone who needs an attorney. She was quick, helpful and professional.

I was recommended to Foster Hsu after spending months with another law firm attempting mediation for my divorce. I'm very glad I called them. I'm very happy with the very personal level of care and consideration my case was given. Lydia was as very strong advocate for me, and was very realistic when presenting different scenarios when I had hard decisions to make. Lillian, the Office Manager/Legal Assistant, was always very helpful and attentive to any questions I had. I would highly recommend this Firm based on the level of professionalism, and care they provide for their clients.

Kara is the absolute best attorney! She represented me throughout my divorce, got me full custody of my son and also had my ex-husband ordered to pay for all attorney's fees. She's super knowledgeable, professional, compassionate and diligent. Anytime I've needed her to file something for me it would happen the very same day. She has great communication skills and is such a charismatic person which makes her great at what she does. I plan on changing my son's name soon and I look forward to retaining Kara again for that. Divorce is such a challenging experience and she really

Lydia and her team were very helpful and professional in helping to write up my prenup. They had clear communication, detailed instructions on what I needed to do/provide, and quick response. I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of a prenup agreement!

Kara and her team did an excellent job helping us navigate a sensitive post-nup. They were extremely responsive, forthcoming and knowledgeable every step of the way, and even helped recommend a attorney for my domestic partner / soon to be husband! I am truly appreciative and would highly recommend Kara!

Lydia is extremely professional, smart, detail orientated and stays on top of every task with immediate responses to other parties attorney or court. Lydia took immediate action when necessary. She educated me throughout the entire case 2 yrs. Being my child support case was very was complicated because my X partner and I were not married for 17 years we lived together and we have 3 children together. We didn't agree in mediation for visitation. We went through professional counselors to provide the courts with custody recommendations. Lydia is a very honest person and recommended that I always

Kara worked on my complicated case for years as an associate before opening her firm. I had one other associate on my case and the difference between the two were night and day. Kara shines in many areas, most important of which are responsiveness, knowledge, and compassion. She will hear you out, explain to you your options, and guide you on your best course of action. Also important, she will not take you down the "ugly path" divorce can lead many. I highly recommend Kara Foster to anyone in Santa Clara County going through divorce.

I was impressed with the help that Kara Foster provided as I worked through a Prenup Amendment. I liked the timeliness of her replies and the advice that she gave. I will definitely retain her again if something else comes up. I have already referred her to another family member for child support issues. Her assistant was professional and replied in a timely manner.

Lydia and Kara were fabulous. Both have big firm experience, and started a boutique firm. I've worked with both of them and have been very impressed with how they conduct business and their overall attitude, all the while, keeping an eye on what they charge. I've also surreptitiously heard other business people discussing them, and all of the comments were favorable!

Grateful to know and be supported by Lydia Hsu and Kara Foster. Both are brilliant, ferocious, compassionate and zealous advocates. They will give you options and fight for you, while keeping your personal life and family in mind as well. If you want to be treated with dignity and like family during a divorce or custody situation, Lydia and Kara are who you need on your side. Lilian is also fantastic! They are as good as it gets. Thank you for all that you do, Foster Hsu, LLP!

As a retired Police Officer, I'm skeptical of everything....especially attorneys. Another officer that I trust recommended Lydia and Kara. They both have big firm experience, and now opened a boutique office. Without getting into details, they helped me get through a very difficult time, and at the same time, kept an eye on the expenses. Thanks ladies very much!
