Strategic, Disciplined, and Child-Centered Advocacy

I have been working with Kathryn on a highly complex custody matter, and her level of humanity, precision, strategy, and judgment is truly exceptional. She truly shows, time and time again, that the kids are the most important people in custody matter. What sets Kathryn apart is her ability to ta...ke a fact-heavy, emotionally charged situation and distill it into a clear, legally decisive framework that the court can actually act on. She is incredibly disciplined in how she frames issues—focusing only on what matters judicially, eliminating noise, and presenting arguments in a way that is factual, measured and highly effective. Kathryn anticipates how a judge will think through the case and builds her arguments and strategy accordingly—structured, proportional, and grounded in the record. She helps me drown out noise from the other party, so I am not even further drained through this process. She partners, guides restraints, and coaches exceptionally well - and that makes her advocacy even more powerful. Equally important, Kathryn maintains a steady, pragmatic approach throughout the process. She does not escalate unnecessarily, but she is firm and strategic when it counts. You always know she is thinking several steps ahead. If you are looking for an attorney who combines sharp legal analysis with disciplined, credible advocacy, and who truly sees your children - Kathryn is exceptional.

Phenomenal

Kathryn is amazing! No matter what I write on here, it will never praise her enough. She truly cares and gives your case her all. She learns the details. She is so easy to talk to and it feels like you are childhood friends. She will fight for you and be there when you need her. I always recommend he...r and think so very highly of her. Kathryn is absolutely amazing!

When you want the best

No one wants to need a family law attorney. Very few cases in family law are the kind where everyone ends up happy. If you find yourself in this situation, you want the best. I can confidently say this person is Kathryn. She is accessible to her clients, remembers the details of your case, tell...s it like it is, and isn't afraid of anyone. I would gladly pay her 10 times what I did if I had to use her again. Her representation made a world of difference to me and my kids! I've read the recent negative review and have no issue saying that it's clearly someone who was on the losing end against Kathryn. That person doesn't actually have any negative comments on her skills and ability and instead makes rude comments about her appearance (which is always impeccable by the way)...sounds like someone who is bitter they chose the wrong attorney instead of hiring Kathryn. You want the best attorney in York? Call Kathryn.

Professional & Knowledgeable

When the unexpected need for an attorney presented itself, Attorney Kathryn Nonas-Hunter came highly recommended by both friends and colleagues (who had also retained her as counsel at one time or another) as well as other professionals in the local legal industry. Attorney Nonas- Hunter is extremely... knowledgeable when it comes to family law. In addition, she was always easy for me to get a hold of, keeping me constantly updated on my case, my rights and my options along the way. She was professional, courteous, punctual, not to mention she was extremely calming for me prior to walking into the courtroom. It didn’t take long for me to see why she was so highly recommended. Not only did I feel like she worked very hard for me, I was also reassured by the respect it’s clear other professionals in her field have for her.. in and out of the courtroom.

Never again

Kathryn was nearly impossible to communicate with, she was an hour late for my appt, and she left me hanging until the morning of my court date to try and negotiate with opposing counsel. She completely failed to inform me that a court date had been rescheduled, then refused to take responsibility, a...s if it were beyond her control. Yet somehow my ex had been notified in a timely manner by his attorney. Kathryn was in such a hurry at my support conference that she advised me to settle for less support than the court officer offered. She was always in a hurry and more concerned about her overbooked schedule than properly advocating for her client. The Judge issued an order which Kathryn assured me would offer the protection I needed. However, later when I needed that order, the police would not enforce it. Kathryn then acted like she had never assured me of its protection to begin with.

Sometimes it is hard for parents to accept decisions of the court and a lack of understanding how the legal system works is incorrectly attributed to an attorney.
