The best lawyer ever

Kathy helped with a long drawn, contentious divorce. She was tough but fair, compassionate and always presented the pros and cons in any given situation, allowing and guiding me in making the right decision. She was able to resolve all the problems and get me divorced in a timely manner. Thank you f...or everything you have done.

Ms.

I was freaked out by my ex for the custody and child support. Ms. Hilbush calmed me down and explained what was bs and what was not. We went to court and was he shocked when he lost. I would recommend her to anyone who is scared like I was.

The Best

Kathryn was on point from the time I called her to ask for advice. She met with me as well as my family and helped us through the process of child custody and child support.

The Best

Kathy was my lawyer in my first divorce in 1994. She has always be a solid and dependable person and lawyer, always been very responsive for any question or concern and very steady with her handling of any and all court related matters. That is way I have her as my lawyer for my second and final divo...rce. I will always refer her to anyone who could use her great skill as a lawyer. Divorce is never easy but Kathy makes it easier to deal with it. Steve S.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
