Trustworthy, fast, and efficient

Kathryn was my attorney for a child custody agreement. My consultation with her was very thorough and informative. She handled my case very professionally and fair while maintaining my requests as her top priority. I highly recommend Kathryn as she is easy to talk to, very responsive, and extremely d...edicated to reaching a fair outcome.

You Don't Want Your Ex to Hire Her First

Ms. Yates was exactly what I needed. She understood my divorce was to be amicable yet I had no idea what that meant. She patiently advised me to cover myself, my life, my kids, all while preserving what my idea of peace. I would recommend her to any one who needs strength in their corner. She isn't a... cold, harsh attorney but I trust her implicitly.

Divorce / Family Law

Divorce is not an easy experience. When children are involved, added emotions and all that goes along with them is heightened. My experience as a client of Katherine Yates and her entire Firm, was nothing less than ideal; exceeding any expectations. Not only did they possess the utmost profe...ssionalism, extremely thorough , but also gave me and my children a secure sense of trust, that continues on. The best interest of the children was always a top priority. I was never rushed, always felt that I was heard and always given the time needed. In addition, a genuion concern was always felt, keeping my anxiety and emotional state at ease, while gaining confidence in myself from the guidance and care I received. I have been a client in several areas surrounding issues do to my divorce over the past several years, and the result is always a positive one. The confidence I have in Katherine and her Firm is only a piece of what you receive as a whole. I highly recommend. The Best!!
