Highly Recommend

Kathy has been my attorney for about 8 years now and has since also become a great friend. She is an outstanding attorney and is someone who is an expert in her field. Kathy pays great attention to detail and is an attorney who cares about you as a person and your case. She answered all the questi...ons and concerns I had and made me feel safe and comfortable. She kept me up to date on the process of my case and was very informative. Kathy is a very professional and hard working attorney who went above and beyond. She has changed my life and made such a positive impact with all the work she has done for me. I can`t thank her enough. I highly recommend Kathy!

Disappointing

Looked her up prior and saw her reviews were really good! I had a consultation with Kathy and conjured up the nerve to tell her my whole life story. The meeting seemed really promising as she said she would follow up on particulars with my case, and I offered her to inquire any monetary fees that w...ould be included. I ended texting and calling her several times after to simply be ignored; as a teen seeking a lawyer— genuinely confused and hurt by her actions....would not recommend as communication was at an all time low.

She is thorough and on point

Kathy worked hard on my case. She kept me informed on every detail. I'm very appreciative of her service and the results.

Strongly recommended

kathy Polias is an amazing attorney who prepares her cases in a comperhensive manner. She is very detail oriented, knowledgable, and informative. I worked with her for two cases related to immigration and civil rights, and I am very pleased with her work. My case with her for Asyulm application met ...few obstacles and was about to be thrown out of the immigration office, however Attorney Polias, with her neat work and ability to represent and emphasis the facts about my case, was eventually able to make me win this case and granted an asylum .. I Strongly recommend her
