my experience working with Cathy

I am totally impressed by Cathy's command of the Divorce process. She completely outperformed my ex-wife's attorney, who charged multiples of what Cathy charged. Cathy's counsel helped me work through all the issues and helped me separate the important ones from those that were less important. Ca...thy was available for meetings and phone calls when I needed them. I recommend her without hesitation.

Seeley review

I hired Catherine Mckay to handle my divorce case. Catherine has certainly met all my expectations so far. The issues of my divorce quickly escalated and Catherine handled them with ease. Her quickness and attention to detail proved successful in an ex parte motion. I feel like I've won 10 out 10 ...battles so far so I have no criticism. What I like most is Catherine's fairness to both parties involved and how she sets realistic expectations for me.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"It is without hesitation that I endorse Attorney McKay for all your family law matters. Not only have I known Cathy for several years as a fellow attorney, but she worked as opposing counsel to one of my divorce matters recently. As opposing counsel, Cathy always remained professional, even through some of the most difficult issues in which the parties were not seeing eye to eye. Because of Cathy's hard work and diligence, the matter was almost resolved. If you are seeking someone to get results in a fair manner, Cathy is, without doubt, someone who will work well for you."
