Katelin Taylor Moomau

Katelin Moomau was my lawyer during my divorce. I believe her professionalism, calm approach and assuring attitude were very valuable in going through the whole process and concluding it in a satisfactory and affordable way. I would definitely recommend her.

Hiring Katelin was the best decision I made during my divorce. Upon meeting her she calmly reassured me and assuaged my fears. She helped me understand my rights during the divorce so I wasn’t scared and predicted the strategy of opposing council. She asked me my goals in the divorce and didn’t go for the jugular because that wasn’t what I wanted. She understood my financial situation and worked within those bounds, helping me focus on the end goal and not avenues that would be costly and steer me away from the goal of getting out of a bad marriage. I would recommend her 100 percent without hesitation.

When I hired Katelin to represent me for my divorce I felt like she took my hand and walked me through everything that was going on. She answered questions, and when her assigned Associate was not available she made sure I was not left unattended. She listened and provided answers along the way making the process much easier than I thought it was going to be.

Excellent legal acumen and prowess, not just with family law, but also with the nuances of navigating NoVA’s courtrooms; inquisitive; strategic; quick study with a long and detailed memory; calm, kind, compassionate, non-judgmental, yet direct; well-respected by peers, judges, court staff, guardian ad litems, and mediators; easy to talk to; timeliness and proficiency in answering your email/phone/in-person queries and for court appearances; judiciously maintains (an extremely fair) balance between understanding the facts of the case, developing and implementing a winning strategy, and billing hours are just a few of the characteristics one should look for when hiring a lawyer to represent the most delicate and personal matter there is: child custody and visitation. After interviewing multiple law firms and attorneys, I found all of these, and more, in Katelin Moomau of RRBMDK, a true steel magnolia. While factual evidence was in my favor from the beginning, playing the long-game, Katelin fashioned a legal strategy that had me jumping through hoops to further factually demonstrate my ex’s baseless allegations were just that, baseless. Yes, I pridefully argued at first, but I followed her advice ("is this not why I am paying her?," my inside voice asked) and was glad I did as it all came together to unequivocally show the court officials the facts were on my side and to deliver a very positive outcome for my daughter. Hindsight is 20/20; and while I never dreamed I would need a family law attorney, I now rank hiring Katelin as one of the top 5 best decisions of my life. Do not blindly take my word for it. Interview no less than a total of 3 firms/attorneys, get that first, second and third opinion, just as you would with a serious medical issue, and then hire Katelin Moomau. By doing this you will get a sampling of the different types of approaches, personalities, etc. and who best suits you and your case in this most personal of personal matters. If you are lucky you will meet other competent attorneys, for they do exist, and there are even more who are not, but I doubt you will meet anyone who has the rare blend of all of the above attributes, and at rates that are more than reasonable for the high quality of service delivered. I am glad I spent the extra time and monies interviewing others, for, before I had the benefit of hindsight, I had peace of mind that I had a true, well-respected, caring professional who would steadfastly advocate for my daughter’s best interest and, believe me, there was not much I had peace of mind about during the ugly legal ordeal. ‘Did I hire the right lawyer?’ should not be constantly haunting you. Katelin’s ability to face demanding situations with knowledge, spirit (did I mention the Southern sass?), grace, and resiliency and to navigate a plethora of personalities, all while calmly and steadfastly guiding you through high pressure and emotional matters will give you the peace of mind you need from beginning to end, when your hindsight will say hiring Katelin Moomau was one of the best decisions of your life.

Katelin Moomao and her team were great! I was searching for a while before I hired Katelin Moomao as my divorce attorney and I am glad I did! I had extremely difficult divorce and was working with Katelin for over a year. She was very professional,  personal and very patient with me explaining the details of the divorce process, which was helpful since I was unfamiliar with this complicated process. She honestly answered my questions based on the law and her experience, not just with an answer I wanted to hear and helped me understand what was possible with my case. She was very prepared and has represented me well in my court proceedings with very successful results. I am extremely satisfied with her legal counsel and would completely recommend her if you are looking for a divorce lawyer. I couldn't ask for better representation!

I have almost 7 years of hired experience with this firm and Katelin. She is balanced, speedy, understanding of the clients circumstance and works hard to resolve all affairs. Specifically, when is comes to family and children affairs she keep the welfare of the child in the forefront. Katelin's communication is very timely and if she not available she always lets you know when she can return a response. Having a flexible, cooled-headed, professional yet assertive lawyer has been a blessing to my life. Navigating the VA judicial system this firm and Katelin has been like having angels by my side.

Katelin helped represent me for a child custody case that was rather ugly. She has a very kind and bubbly personality that put me at ease. She has always been available for any comments or questions I had through this legal process and she was always good to reach out to me to make sure all my questions were properly answered. She also has a knack for being able to break down legal terms into a language I actually understand. She is passionate about the cases she takes on and fully stands by your side during your personal legal battle. My case is now past with favorable results and even though it's closed, I still reach out to her for any legal advice or help I may need involving future issues. She always gets back to me in a timely manor, providing me with the legal guidance I need. She has even reached out to me for no reason other than to check up on me and see how my son and I are doing. You don't find many lawyers like her often and I am very grateful to have her on my side.

Katelin Moomau represented me in an extremely difficult family law situation. Due to less than stellar representation for my divorce, I was locked in to extraordinarily high spousal support payments for life. I switched attorneys and worked with Katelin to map out a strategy that would not only reduce my monthly payments but also put a finite time on my support payments. I pushed hard to get to court however, based on Katelin's understanding of the courts and the direction the court was heading, we delayed for a year. While I was not happy about the delay, I was convinced that Katelin had a firm grasp of the situation and trusted her advice. As a result, I recently prepared to go to court. Opposing Counsel realized the strong position that Katelin had put me in and asked for mediation. The mediation resulted in a cessation of monthly payments and a total termination of spousal support for the equivalent lump sum payment equal to 2.5 years of monthly payments. Had I not followed Katelin's advice I could easily have faced 20 or more years of spousal support. Katelin and her firm clearly won the day and have dramatically changed my future for the better. If you want to win, use Katelin Moomau.
