After wasting 7 months in a collaborative process, with a non-collaborative ex, I went to Kathleen. She is direct, to the point, and keeps her eyes on the goal. If Kathleen says it can be done, she will find a way to do it. What she won't do is waste your time or money telling you what you want to ...hear. Having said that, divorce is hard, and Kathleen knew exactly when to hold my hand, hug me or tell me I was being unrealistic. With her vast network of amazing professionals, my divorce was over, signed sealed and delivered less than 2 weeks from my date of separation, even after the 7 month delay. All my my ex's crazy ass requests were squashed. Kathleen keeps it real, which for some may not be a good fit. But if you want someone to handle your divorce like a business transaction, while supporting you behind doors with all the emotions, Kathleen is the only person to reach out to.

After 2 years of no interest or visits, my son's father decided he wanted full custody. His attorney played dirty from the start. Kathleen always knew the laws and courtroom policy enough to cut her short. I had my son at 33 years old. So, obviously I had a "party" past. I admitted everything ab...out my past. Unfortunately, the judge had no knowledge of drug recovery. She didn't have a problem with severe drinking. Also, I have been diagnosed with bi-polar disorder and been on my medications and been stable for several years. The judge had no desire to educate herself concerning drug/alcohol addiction, or bi-polar disorder. She actually treated me as if I might go crazy at any moment. Kathleen and her staff made sure they proved medical fact instead of letting the other lawyer to lead the judge to believe falsehoods. She knows the law inside and out. She is forceful in the courtroom. She commands respect, and deserves it in every way. I am convinced I would have lost my son had it not been for Kathleen, Melissa, and Patrick. My case was over nearly a year ago. I had a question tosday. I spoke with Kathleen, and she knew the answer automatically. Above all else, she was concerned with my life and how things have been since the custody battle. I would find it hard to believe that a lawyer would show interest in you after the case is over. I would highly recommend her over and over, and have. I have my son!! I will never be able to thank Kathleen and her staff enough.
