AWESOME LAWYER/HIGHLY RECOMMEND
Katie fought hard for me during my divorce and accomplished great results for me, not only financially but regarding my children as well. She is a phenomenal, compassionate and aggressive attorney. She is down to earth and always makes herself available to her clients. I could not have made it through such a difficult time in my life without her. I have referred many friends and family to her and they were also very happy. I cannot say enough about having her on your side.

Kathleen is a life saver!
I feel blessed to have had Kathleen in my corner when she handled my case almost 14 years ago. Katie made a very difficult time as good as it could possible and achieved the outcome I needed. Katie cares about her clients and it shows in her efforts and results. A++++

Absolute best attorney I could ask for
If I could give Katie 100 stars I would. I’m shocked someone gave one star, as I had an incredible experience with her during my divorce. She’s always reachable, attentive, and a true fighter and advocate. I’d recommend (and have recommended) to anyone I know who needs a champion.

Outstanding Representation
I found Katie at the recommendation of a highly esteemed collegue of hers. She was a true blessing. I was going through a traumatic, devastating and truly bizarre custody battle and from the moment I met her she was honest and told me that she agreed . She couldn't believe the injustice she was seeing and would not stop until she got my son home. And she didn't. It was not an easy or quick process and she certainly did not do it for the money. She did what was just. My family will be forever indebted to her and her entire team who made us feel supported and truly cared for every step of the way. I cannot say enough good things about her. I only wish I had used her for my initial divorce. I will recommend her to anyone as long as I know they are looking for someone ethical and honest. She is both emphathetic and sharp as nails. AND we were closing our case as COVID-19 was shutting down the world. I honestly did not know there were lawyers like her in existence. This was as complicated a case as you can get.

Katie is the best!
Katie was referred by a trusted lawyer friend of mine. I also heard about her great reputation. Having worked with her for years through a very difficult divorce and custody situation, I can say that I definitely made the right choice and highly recommend Katie to anyone having family issues.

The "family" in Stockton Family Law is real.
We were in a terrible way, our only son had passed away and our ex daughter in law remarried and didn't want us to see our only grandchild. The entire firm listened to us, gave us the facts and presented our case to the courts; keeping us in the loop with every development. It was a long tedious process , but the court ruled in our favor. We are of the belief that Kathleen made the difference and we are eternally grateful to her and the entire firm.

Highly Recommend
Ms. Stockton went through all of my concerns with my divorce settlement papers point by point, clearly explaining the meanings and ramifications of each item, allowing me plenty of time to process the information and ask questions. She was available for my follow up questions and was a steady presence during a stressful time.

My amazing experience with Kathleen.
My experience with Kathleen has been phenomenal. She works with the utmost professionalism but is at the same time compassionate and empathetic. I could not have selected a better attorney to guide me through this process and act as both my advocate and friend. She fights for you and provides ample support through the process. Kathleen and her team are a terrific group. They are prompt with communications, hard working, compassionate and supportive. One of the things I valued the most about working with this group and Kathleen was that she was thorough and did a great job of teaching and explaining the process to me. I have never gone through a divorce before so to have someone explain the process and support me the way she did make the whole experience much easier. Divorce is hard but working with Kathleen was one of the best decisions I have made. I hope to never have to go through this process again but if I do I would go back to Kathleen again and would recommend her to anyone going through this as well. Thanks Kathleen!

Divorce, Custody n TRO
From the second I met her.. I simply felt safe! She's a smart, straight shooter, who doesn't try n give you false hope or make promises she can't keep. I came to her scared to death and afraid I was for sure going to lose custody of my only child as well as a facing a TRO based on untrue and inaccurate facts. Now that she is representing me the fight to come is getting less and less terrifying as we take things in an organized, methodical manner.. one step at a time and prepare to fight the good fight. If you're looking for some back alley lawyer that'll fight dirty using lies and deception up win your case then she might not be the lawyer for you but if you trust in her.. Are honest from the start with her.. This woman will march through any trench side by side with you..

Excellent Representation
Katie Stockton provided me with excellent representation during my divorce and domestic violence proceedings. She was very attentive to my case and achieved excellent results for me. I was very happy with every aspect of how my case was handled. I would highly recommend Ms. Stockton.

Would Never Recommend
Please do not use this attorney unless your case is very straightforward. She cannot handle difficult cases and was intimidated by my ex-husband. She has NO CONCEPT of verbal, emotional or financial abuse. She is on vacation at least once monthly and is very careless in her preparation. Several mistakes were made in my divorce and I was left homeless and close to bankruptcy. If you have a high conflict divorce, please find someone who knows and understands what you need. Definitely not her.
