I highly recommend Kathy and Team.

I highly recommend Fresh Start! Kathy and the whole team supported and worked diligently for me during a terrible time in my life. Always following up, always answering every question and concern with compassion and kindness. I didn't have to worry about anything. Now that it is all said and done,... I couldn't be happier with the service I received from this wonderful practice. Thank you, Kathy and Team :)

A Fierce, No-Nonsense Attorney

If you're looking for an honest but fierce no-nonsense type of attorney, Ms. Lucas is your type of attorney. Her dedication to my case was apparent from the beginning. She is very resourceful, especially in situations like mine, when the defendant refused to provide requested documents. Ms. Lucas c...onsistently followed-up behind the scenes on my behalf and kept me informed about the status of my case in a timely manner. She was also considerate of my time when it came to court appearances. I highly recommend her.

Highest Possible Recommendation!

Ms Lucas guided me through every step of the divorce process. When we first met, I was scared, overwhelmed, and completely unprepared for a contentious divorce. She was supportive and encouraging, and helped me find the strength to fight for my rights. Ms. Lucas expertly negotiated a reasonable cu...stody and property settlement. I wholeheartedly recommend Fresh Start Family Law!

Very Honest and Professional

Kathy was very helpful in getting my separation and divorce finalized. She was honest and up front about the expectations, so I was never surprised or led astray during the entire process. Made the whole ordeal way more comfortable than it could have been.

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.
