Katherine McCarthy Amato

Katherine is by far and away the best thing that happened to our family in the worst of situations. She brought clarity, compassion and understanding to our legal troubles. She understands what women go through when involved with men that do not care or appreciate the women in their life. Thank ...you Kate for all you have done for my daughter and our family.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
