Almeida Law Group is thrilled to welcome Karen Dahlberg O’Connell as our newest partner! 

Karen joins us after a distinguished career at the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), where she spent more than 15 years leading complex investigations and litigation against companies engaged in unfair and deceptive business practices. Her work tackled a wide range of consumer protection issues, including undisclosed recurring subscription fees, alternative education scams, unlawful debt collection, unauthorized billing, deceptive business coaching and job scams, misleading marketing of medical discount plans, and false advertising via affiliate marketers. She played a key role in filing enforcement actions and securing significant settlements that provided meaningful relief to consumers.

Before her tenure at the FTC, Karen served as an Assistant Attorney General in New York, where she defended the State, its agencies, and officers in litigation spanning employment disputes, First Amendment claims, and other constitutional challenges. Her litigation experience at both the state and federal level has equipped her with a deep understanding of regulatory enforcement and consumer rights advocacy.

Karen is admitted to practice in New York and Massachusetts. Her extensive litigation background, coupled with her ability to craft innovative legal strategies, makes her an invaluable addition to Almeida Law Group.

We are honored to have Karen join our leadership team—please join us in welcoming her to the Firm!
