Great advice, easy to talk to
Kathryn walked me through my options and explained how the court system would view my divorce. She had great insight and a lot of knowledge on the subject. I'm much more knowledgeable now on how to handle my case.

Kathryn is the most compassionate attorney I've ever known. She is knowledgeable, offers solid advice, and very professional.
Kathryn gave me great advice, helped me through some very hard, confusing times, took care of everything for me since I was not able to do so myself and I had full confidence that she was doing what was in my best interest. Having Kathryn as my attorney now I can promise you I would not go to anyon...
