Wonderful family attorney!

Katelin worked with me on a domestic violence-based protective order case as well as divorce. I really appreciate all that she did! She did a great job helping me navigate through tough times, and I can't thank her enough. Very knowledgeable and kind person who was always willing to clarify any quest...ions that I had. Katelin was able to help me obtain a protective order that was needed, and the divorce that she has filed only took 2 weeks to get through the court! Without any hesitation, I would certainly recommend Katelin to anyone seeking an attorney! She is great, and thank you again, Katelin!

Attorney and a blessing

Katelin has represented me since 2017. She stood beside me and guided me through one of the most difficult times of my life, and one of the most joyous. I appreciate how much care and consideration that she had for me, and for my situation. Her knowledge, and understanding of the court system, leg...al tactics and options, helped me to remain level headed and objective. She kept me well informed. She made sure that I understood the implications of my decisions. I wasn't just a client, but a person that was facing, what seemed at the time, insurmountable challenges and It was due to her council that I was able to maintain balance. She defended my rights and helped to preserve my family and my life, always treating me with compassion, dignity and respect. She has also, helped my family to grow in ways that I never thought imaginable. Thank you Katelin for being such a blessing to me and my family!

Supporting and assuring

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.

Katelin Moomau, a true steel magnolia, who has your back.

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 a...d 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.

Extremely Satisfied

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!
