Catherine was kind, thorough and very informative of my options during a difficult time of separation. Her response time was quick and counsel was honest, clear and helped me feel empowered to do what was best for me. I highly recommend her services to anyone in need of her specialty.

Thanks Catherine

Hiring Catherine Pavur to guide me through my divorce was undoubtedly one of the best decisions I have made. Catherine guided me though every part of the divorce process with compassion, accuracy, legal expertise, and with an added benefit of being a wonderful person to work with. Her knowledge and... experience made the beginning stages of working through the complexity of detailing, separating, and documenting assets a doable process. At each stage where appearances in court were required her guidance turned those appearances from a dreaded unknown to a reasonably comfortable experience. Her experience and knowledge proved invaluable when I had to go through a deposition where she worked with me and advised me on possible pitfalls that, without her, I most likely would have fallen ignorantly into. In the final stage where the court ordered a mediation process where Catherine watched out carefully and fought for my benefit I must thank her for her advice on every offer and counter offer. For it worked out that in the end, with her suggestions and analysis that I was able to pursue the path that I desired and believe I was meant to follow with very little debt and able to retain sufficient assets needed to pursue that course. My sincerest thanks Catherine.

Experience and Compassion

Catherine handled my divorce. A state pension became involved and she handled that seamlessly. There was a post-divorce lawsuit; the separation agreement she wrote held up against the claims. She is a great listener and always offered reasoned advice.

No Non-Sense, Straight & to the Point

Title says it all. I actually switched attorney's in the middle to my divorce to Catherine, because my previous counsel was a complete and total Bozo. I got what I expected, too bad it took two tries to get it right. But that's to the credit of Catherine.

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.
