Very impressive services!

I must say that I was very impressed with Katy's professionalism and passion in handling my case, which turned out successfuly. I was referred to her by one of her previous satisfied client who was convinced that she was one of the best around. I was not disappointed. I was impressed with her empathy... that instigated her to go beyond the financial boundaries of her contract with us to guide us through our immigration protocols. I would gladly recommend Kathy for anyone in search of an immigration attorney. Indeed her thriving reputation precedes her!

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.
