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.

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.

Posted by anonymous | December 26, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Traumatized and victimized by attorney nonas.

I hired attorney Nonas in 5/2017 to divorce my husband. At that time I really had no money and was living in my office. I was very emotionally vulnerable. I really don't know what was going on in the practice she was in. I left her messages and emailed her paralegal with my concerns. She told me I c...ould not get any assets until my husband was agreeable which could be at least a year from then. I left some messages with no response and finally talked to her paralegal and she said well haven't you applied for alimony with domestics. I said no was I suppose to? Her response was that I could go to domestics and file for alimony. I went that day feeling disgusted that Attorney Nonas failed to inform me of this after telling me repeatedly that there was nothing I could do. I had the hearing which she could not attend. Not long after that she was no longer at the practice she was at. I received no notification of this where she was or what I should do from there. I found out where she went and left messages and still no response. I had another hearing and hired a new attorney. I informed her that I no longer needed her services. My attorney sent her a form to release my services with her and she never signed it. I never heard from her or received any bills until I was served with papers being sued by her for the balance of my bill. I was stunned and have had enough heart ache with her and my on going divorce. I did not attend the hearing so I now have a court ordered judgement I must pay. There is no good reason for her lack of communication or sending me a bill prior to seuing me. She had my address phone number and work phone number. The reason I am writing this review now is my son recently died and recognizing that I need to share this since he was also affected by her behavior and her lack of assistance which caused a lot of grief and added trauma to an already difficult divorce. I will be talking to the judge who ordered the judgement to see if I can do any thing. I don't want anyone to suffer more than they have too because most times when you seek legal advice you are hurting enough.

Thankful

I was in a bad position my attorney was leaving the country and he advised me that I would need a new attorney my trial was literally 10 days away I was worried about how would I find someone that would understand my case and genuinely be passionate about my situation. So I reached out to Ms Kathryn,... I didn't know what to expect at first she couldn't take the case in the next 10 days she was on vacation that week. When I finally got the chance to sit down and talk to her about my case she immediately started to take a special interest and my case, I could see the ambition and her face to try to get the results that I wanted, she has the perfect team around her who make sure that I was informed about each detail of the case and how we were going to go about the case in court. Within less than a month of hiring her I seen more results then I have the whole time I've been fighting, I am very thankful that I chose to hire Ms.Kathryn, not only did she help me win my case she brought Joy to my little girl's heart that she finally gets to live with her real family, I highly recommend her if she take on the case you are definitely in good hands I can't thank her enough.

Amazing attorney

Kathryn did an outstanding job for me and my boyfriend during his custody battle for his son. She kept us positive and always on the plus side of things especially when they got tough. She is a tough, passionate attorney who did an amazing job representing us at trial. We strongly recommend hiring Ka...thryn as your attorney, she will get the job done with your needs in mind and very efficiently. Any concerns we had she was sure to address and get back in a very timely manner wether it be her or her office. Simply everything about our experience with Kathryn representing us was wonderful and positive. We'd be the first to hire her again with anything else.
