About Karrie Mae
Karrie Mae Southern earned her J.D. from Capital University Law School in 2013 after completing her legal studies in Columbus. She arrived at the law with a straightforward purpose: to practice in Ohio courts and help people resolve financially stressful situations. Her legal training at Capital University provided the groundwork for a practice that has remained rooted in the state.
Southern is licensed to practice in Ohio. Early in her career she joined professional organizations that align with the work she does. She has been a member of the Ohio State Bar Association and the American Bar Association since 2013. In 2014 she joined the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Lawyers and has maintained that membership since.
Those memberships reflect the practical focus of her day-to-day work. She handles consumer bankruptcy matters and related debt issues. Her case work involves filing matters, advising clients on options under bankruptcy law, and representing clients in hearings. She approaches each matter with clear explanations and a procedural steadiness that clients find important during stressful disputes.
Southern practices through Karrie Mae Southern Law Office, LLC. The firm serves clients across the state of Ohio. Southern runs the office and manages client intake, case preparation, and court appearances. She combines courtroom activity with counseling clients about the choices bankruptcy law presents.
Colleagues note that Southern stays active in professional discussion through her memberships. Participation in the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Lawyers gives her access to developments in consumer bankruptcy practice. Her ties to the Ohio State Bar Association and the American Bar Association provide broader legal resources and continuing education opportunities. She draws on those resources when preparing for hearings and when advising clients about statutory changes that may affect individual cases.
Outside the courtroom she focuses on clear communication and practical next steps. She explains the implications of filings and outlines what clients should expect in the weeks that follow. Her practice balances paperwork, negotiation, and representation at hearings. She continues to maintain an office in Ohio where she represents individuals in consumer bankruptcy and related matters.
