Simply terrific

I’m grateful to Sheila K. for representing me in my divorce. Her knowledge, intelligence and advocacy skills helped guide me through the divorce process and ultimately to a fair settlement. And as a bonus, Sheila is a compassionate and terrific person.

Highly recommend!

I highly recommend Sheila Kadagathur of Hostetter Strent , who handled my divorce/custody case. The entire Hostetter team was extremely helpful and compassionate during a hectic period of my life. I always felt like I was their priority and could count on them at any time of day or even night. All... of the staff I encountered at the firm were honest, reliable, and professional. Ms. Kadagathur's expertise and vast knowledge enabled them to handle various situations and whatever was thrown at us throughout my case.

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.
