Top Attorney!

Katherine's mere presence speaks volumes of her ability to accomplish what she sets out to do. In my opinion, you won't find a better attorney. She believed that we would win my case and very quickly I believed also and we won! If there is a Top Attorney award, Katherine should be presented with such... accolades. I now recommend Katherine to everyone who is in need of her services. Thank you Kate!

Need a lawyer that can help and knows her law choose this one

i spoke with this lawyer on the phone a lengthly period of time me listening answering her questions honestly she made me feel very comfortable and more relaxed when our conversation ended she plays no game she explains to you step by step the good the bad the ugly that can happen to you with a case ...if she doesn't have the answer she will search and find that answer if she can't help you she will refer you to another council

Feeling confident after speaking with Ms. Katherine G. Houghton.

Ms. Houghton was very knowledgeable on the topic of illegal apartments. She informed me of what my rights are and what my next steps should be. Ms. Houghton put me at ease and even let me know that if I needed anything to contact her again. I will be handling this matter on my own but if I need a law...yer I am DEFINITELY calling Ms. Houghton. Overall I was very pleased with the conversation.

Awesome Five Star Attorney!

In my opinion, there is only one New Jersey Attorney to seek for a personal injury case, Katherine Houghton. I sought the legal services of Katherine G. Houghton on behalf of my parents for a personal injury case. Kate is an attorney of rare breed. She is compassionate and caring about the situatio...n and health of her clients, all-the-while tenacious in pursuing the best course of action that provides compensation to ameliorate pain people who are victims of others negligence that ultimately changes their lives forever. She was also determined in seeking fair compensation to get my parents financial situation back on track. Thank you Kate.

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.
