Now Karen is asking that her sentencing be delayed until she completes treatment...
From In Touch
Real Housewives of Potomac star Karen Huger fired her legal team after being found guilty in her DUI case and has asked that her sentencing be postponed to allow her time to finish rehab and talk with her new attorneys, In Touch can exclusively report.
According to court documents obtained by In Touch, Karen’s request to postpone her January 29 sentencing was granted. The judge set a new date of February 26 for Karen, 61, to find out what consequences she will face.
In her motion, filed on January 9, asking to postpone her sentencing, Karen’s new legal team, David A. Martella and Barry Helfand, explained Karen had “discharged” her previous attorneys and hired them.
“Ms. Huger is seeking to have the benefit of counsel’s 30 years of experience handling cases of this kind, in the Maryland Courts, and in fashioning recommendations that State and the Court may find acceptable to address the community’s interests in accountability, rehabilitation, supervision, and deterrence,” the motion read.
Karen’s new lawyers said they last spoke to Karen as she entered an out-of-state program that is appropriate for this case.
The lawyers said they had no received permission from Karen to disclose the nature of the program.
“The rules of the program severely limit the counsel’s ability to communicate with Ms. Huger and prepare for sentencing. [Karen] will be returning from that program on January 28, 2025, the day before the scheduled sentencing,” the motion read.
Karen’s new team said they also needed time to get fully informed about the “nature of the case, the procedural history, the evidence that was presented at trial, and the client’s personal and professional history. Additional time would allow counsel to provide the Court with a meaningful and useful memorandum.”
The RHOP star’s new lawyers asked for an extension until February 14 to file a memorandum regarding what kind of sentence Karen believes she deserves.

The lawyers are playing a Dump maneuver. Delay, delay, delay. They have already spoken to her since she is the one that hired them. New lawyers can look at the previous docs and the best part of the evidence is watching that tape. Observe how that wig kept moving back and forth over that bald forehead when she lied. No edges LOLO
Hope that works out for her
