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.

Great Divorce Attorney

Catherine was wonderful. She never left me wondering what the next step would be. She handled everything with professionalism. I highly recommend Catherine for your legal needs.

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.

Chief Revenue Officer

Catherine has a demeanor and professionalism that makes a very difficult and emotional situation manageable from a personal level. And based on her extensive experience, she offers options versus just telling her clients "... this is the way it is." As with most things in life, it's all about optio...ns. Having one's back against a wall is simply an untenable position and she understands that! She is soft spoken and empathetic, but don't be fooled. She can slug it out with the best of them. I'd put her up against any attorney, regardless of the size of their firm. She is a force to be reckoned with the the situation calls for it. I've referred several friends to Catherine and each has thanked me. Net-net, she knows what she's doing and she will paint both sides of the story so that her clients can consider their options before moving forward. Catherine comes with my highest recommendation. And believe me when I say, that's not something I often say about anyone. You're in good hands.
