Katherine Bestine

If I could select zero stars, I would. My spouse had used Ms. Bestine in a previous court matter, working with her for approximately a year on a very complex case. Fast forward 6 years later, we contacted Ms. Bestine with a major update via email at the beginning of March, explaining that we would ne...ed to have a consult prior to our court date at the end of March. She sent a very snarky response stating that she did not have time to deal with this and that she does not advise over email, which she previously did in November when we had a question regarding our rights. My spouse called Ms. Bestine's office, and was then asked who he was and his phone number, and stated that he would get a call back. Fast forward three weeks, we still had not received a call. We call her office today, 3/20, and are told that she would like to schedule an in-office consultation, which we live two hours away and are now on a time crunch due to the next court date being fairly soon. Ms. Bestine's schedule does not allow any availability for an in-office consultation and we are now left scrambling to find someone to provide us a consultation prior to this court date. Steer clear of Ms. Bestine if you'd like a reliable, professional, and stable attorney.

Ms. Bestine is a high priced attorney who delivers low quality service. I think she cares more about getting her name up in lights rather than properly representing her clients. She was ill prepared for an important court date and then did not fully inform me of the details concerning what was said.... This lack of communication caused many problems. If she was away, her staff knew little about my case, which caused me to spend time and money on phone calls to make sure her substitute had the facts correct. She communicated very little with me and acted like she didn't care about me or the outcome. It appeared like she had a bias for the other side. I also didn't appreciate her attitude and foul language. Stay away from this attorney if you want value for the money. She is not worth it.
