Doesn't work for you

Pretty sure she is on the payroll of other local attorneys because she seems to like to work for and endorse them more than she does her own clients.

Disappointing Experience with Attorney Kathryn Free

I recently reached out to Attorney Kathryn Free regarding some legal documents I received on March 12. Unfortunately, my experience with her left much to be desired. Despite multiple attempts to contact her, I finally reached her by phone, only to encounter a rude and hostile demeanor. When I atte...mpted to ask questions about the documents, her tone quickly turned aggressive, and she refused to address my concerns in a professional manner. I was taken aback by her lack of professionalism and civility. Despite the documents explicitly stating to contact her with any inquiries, she adamantly refused to provide assistance, claiming she wasn't my lawyer and didn't represent me. This encounter left me feeling disheartened and frustrated. Attorney Kathryn Free's bitter and hostile behavior was not only unprofessional but also completely unwarranted. I would caution others against seeking her services based on this negative experience.

Best Divorce Lawer in town.

Ms. Free was my Divorce attorney and she was able to help me keep my children on my terms. I was married for 16 years. Ms. Free won my Divorce cast and I kept my house and all belongings. (Cheaters never win) Other attorneys hate to go against her in court. She has no mercy for cheating spouses and w...ins... The good old boy country system doesn't work with her. She wins and cares for her clients. Thank you Ms. Free for all you do and have done for me these last 10 years.

Excellent Family Law Representation

Ms. Free was professional and thorough in the handling of my complicated separation agreement and divorce case. I would highly recommend her services. Her staff is also excellent.

  • 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.
