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!

Knowledgeable and Dependable

Kathy helped me during my divorce and child custody/support proceedings. Her assessment of my situation, along with very candid/clear guidance, helped make the process virtually pain free. I highly recommend her to anyone in a similar predicament.

Utilized this attorney for representation in a separation agreement, subsequent divorce, custody agreement, child support, & general rules pertaining interactions between the "two ex's". Would AND HAVE recommended this attorney to anyone needing assistance in the previously listed areas.

I was recommended to Kathy by a colleague. From my initial consult I felt that Kathy was completely honest, upfront and fair. I had made a call to a few attorneys and felt like I was just another case. Kathy was on point throughout my case, answering any calls or emails promptly. She was very wil...ling to answer any and all questions and was genuinely interested in getting done what needed to be done. I did not know what to expect in this process, and I recognize all cases are different. However, the guidance I was given from day 1 proved to be the right path with the result that we were targeting. As a male it was good to have the perspective of an attorney who is also a mother. I couldn't be happier with my representation by Kathy and the best thing i can do (and will) is to refer anyone i come across her way. Thank you Kathy for your utmost professionalism, honesty, knowledge and guidance. To have the time that I do with my son going forward is something that I will cherish forever.

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.
