Calm during the emotional storm!

Kathleen is an amazing attorney. As a single woman with limited income, she was willing to work with me on the billing, but she didn't treat me any different than a client who could just write a check for the whole shebang. She worked diligently and tirelessly, and in the end, I got custody of my t...wo children and child support. I could not have gotten through the process and raised my children to be the wonderful people they are today, without her help! As stated by another reviewer, your attorney can only help you when you present them with all the facts, no hiding details. I have just recommended a dear friend to Kathleen and I am sure that they will be as satisfied with her services as I was. I read in another post some statements about her demeanor, but let me assure you, Kathleen is definitely the "ROCK" you need in the courtroom!

We talked to katholeen over the phone about a child support issue, she is very upfront and I am sure she is well respected by her peers, I will definitely be using her in the future if I need to. She is very understanding and cares about the person and there feelings,she is not just after your money.... Thanks, Katholeen, and I will definitely refer you to others who need your assistance. You were an angle.

Highly recommend

Kathleen has represented my family twice. Once in a divorce where she helped me to obtain full-custody of my children. This advice has been beneficial to me and my ex-husband. As a result we have a very friendly post-marriage relationship which is always best for the children. She still continues... to represent my new husband in matters related to a suit by his ex-wife for custody of his children and unreasonable child support. This relationship has caused major rifts in the family. The ex-wife uses the children to bully our family, and won't seek counsel herself to bring final resolution to the matters on the table because she knows the legal advice Kathleen has shared is spot on. Kathleen fights for her clients and she always puts the children's well-being first.
