KATHLEEN is a Winner!!

Finding “The Law Office of Kathleen Cahill” in the Yellow Pages over 10 years ago marked one of the most important and rewarding milestones of my life. After enduring months of sexual-harassment and employee discrimination, Kathleen was determined to seek justice when I thought Justice failed m...e. I was on the brink of losing my job due to profound emotional distress, and fear of my harassers. The workplace mistreatment I endured spilled over into my personal life! I could barely sleep, manage my normal activities, or speak without expressions of sorrow. Ms. Cahill responded to my initial plea/call for help the following day to hear my frantic cries of humiliation and discouragement. Within a few days I met with Kathleen in her TOWSON office, which was very welcoming and comfortable. Ms. Cahill was professional, empathetic , encouraging and down to earth. Her honesty and transparency in regards to litigating employee discrimination was on point! She explained everything in a language I could understand, and left no stone unturned! Kathleen prepared me and my family for the toughest battle of my life! The rest is history! Kathleen’s professionalism, knowledge of employee law and perseverance prevailed!! After more than three years of fighting an uphill battle against a powerful government agency, I received a financial settlement that awarded my family of 7 a better lifestyle and ultimately my bachelors degree in nursing! In November 2018, I separated from an employer who later illegally withheld my wages for more than three months! After financial exhaustion, I called Kathleen. Yet again she exemplified professionalism, knowledge of the law and superior communication skills! I received months of backpay and most importantly, I regained my trust in justice! And this was all PRO BONO!!! Facing discrimination in the workplace is one of the most humiliating, discouraging, distressing and financially exhausting events to endure. It literally crippled my spirit. At such a critical point having a dynamic advocate who shows humanity, and take pride in representing and protecting the rights of “the little person “ is priceless!! Kathleen is exemplary lawyer/ person!

Best choice I ever made was Kathleen Cahill an Excellent Attorney

Kathleen was responsive, decisive, and advised me appropriately to maintain good standing with my employer amid false allegations. She successfully defended me from an unjust accusation by using her legal prowess to be tough on the establishment seeking to destroy my reputation without properly inves...tigating. Kathleen focused on facts and used the law to hold these so called decision makers accountable for reacting unlawfully and forced them to retract an unlawful termination simultaneously recouping lost wages. She was transparent about billing and because she was very efficient determining strategy and communicating she was very affordable. Kathleen Cahill restored my name and I could not have found a better attorney.

Let her be your voice

Kathleen Cahill represented me in a sensitive case. The injustices of my employer over the course of several years had left me feeling defeated. Kathleen was my voice. Ms. Cahill fights to ensure that justice has been served and has a passion for fighting for employment rights and sexual harassment.... She successfully represented me in securing a settlement with my former employer. You do not have to be a victim. Call Kathleen.

Honest and excellent service!

Kathleen helped review my severance agreement while providing me with excellent future advice. She offered to review my documents even before our first meeting where most other attorneys wanted a downpayment fee before they would even look at anything. The price was appropriate and Kathleen provided ...me with many helpful changes to the agreement and future advice. If you want honest help Kathleen is excellent!

She only cares about money

I did extensive research before hiring her and most of the feedback I got was positive so I decided to move forward with her. My first visit was absolutely horrendous. She is only interested in cases in where she can make a lot of money i.e sexual harassment, racial/age/sex discrimination. If she d...oes take your case, and it doesn't fall in the previously mentioned categories, get ready to pay her for every millisecond she spends on it. I later bumped into a colleague of hers at a social event and was told that K. Cahill has a reputation of thinking of clients as her own private ATMs. I wish I had spoken to this person before I spent thousands of dollars for legal service I could have gotten from the legal depot for $9.99.
