Exceeded My Expectations

There are truly not enough words to describe how great Kate Kovats was in my time of need. I'm so grateful I found and retained her! Somehow she made sensibility and resolve blossom from a painful situation and devastating circumstances. Kate did an amazing job educating, and counseling me every step... along the way. She was understanding, patient, kind, and often funny (which helped immensely). Most importantly she fought for the best interests of my family. I always felt like a priority and not just another case. I was treated as if I was her only client. Whenever I called or emailed she was always there with the best advice and action plan to execute. Kate's attention you detail and due diligence always kept us ahead in our litigation. I never felt as if there was a time when she was off guard or had to get ready. She stayed ready, and we were always ten steps ahead. Kate has an incredible ability to create an action plan and execute it to perfection. She handled my custody matter with delicacy, precision, and an iron fist. During our consultation I advised her of the character of the person we'd be going up against, and told her I needed a "pit bull." Man did she deliver! I am 100% satisfied with her hard work and the outcome of my case. I absolutely hate that I had to go through any of this and wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. What I do know is that for the storm I endured and made it through... I'm glad Kate Kovats was on my side! You will not be disappointed!!!
