Fantastic Lawyer

Katie was amazing to work with as my lawyer. She is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and excellent at what she does. She took the time to understand what I was looking for, explained everything very clearly, and made the process so simple for me. She immediately responded to any email or questi...on I had throughout, stayed on top of things, and made sure that everything was done in a timely manner. Working with Katie, was incredibly easy, and the least stressful part of my divorce. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone needing family law representation in Connecticut.

Mortgage Separation

Katie has acted as my backbone and voice the past few months while helping me navigate taking my name off a joint mortgage and getting my share of the equity. She did so much of the legwork without even having to call me and made the entire transition for me so much easier. She’s trustworthy, hardwor...king, and ruthless, which was exactly what I needed for my situation. I couldn’t recommend her more to anyone going through a similar situation. Hiring her made all the difference and I’m very thankful for all her help.

Professional, educated and thorough!!

I hired Katie for a post-judgement modification of our parenting plan. She always made herself accessible and went above and beyond to help get this done in the most efficient way possible. My ex's lawyer was very difficult to work with in terms of communication and Katie was persistent and helped ge...t this done and avoided court. She is kind, professional and stern. She is very well educated in her field of practice and I would highly recommend her.

My divorce

After having a consultation with Kathleen, I was immediately impressed. She formed a strategy and began running through the steps, she also thought of things I never would have expected. Kathleen was always attentive to my needs and was very efficient in execution of all the steps with the court res...ulting in a very quick outcome.
