Kathy L. Portnoy

I was referred to Kathy Portnoy by the best defense attorney in the country! I quickly realized she is his gold standard equivalent in the family law arena. Kathy took my call one night ..spent hours listening to my circumstances ..and did not run! Instead she relished the challenge. Kathy untan...gled exhaustive legal mishaps that predated her representation. She transformed my protracted, muddy custody case into a clear blueprint for success. Undeterred, patient, and creative! Kathy did what only the best attorneys can do for their most anxious clients. She managed a potent legal approach ..while also managing me! I am so grateful for this resolution. Thank you Attorney Kathy Portnoy!!!

Kathy Portnoy ushered me into her dazzling two-story office. She sat me down and listened to my post-divorce concerns about insufficient child support and being out of the workforce for over a decade. (She had previously reviewed my settlement agreement). After 45 minutes, she said three memorable th...ings to me: she told me that I had signed the worst settlement she'd ever seen, that I had "no leverage," and that my best option at this point (to this 40 y.o. college-educated mother) was to get married again. Then her secretary ushered me out to billing. 5 minutes later and $400 poorer, I left in tears.

Kathy Portnoy totally botched her involvement with my divorce. Not only did she not file the appropriate documents right off, which gave my spouse time to move money and assets, but she went out of town and her fill in attorney did nothing except talk to each other. Even after I contacted them both... that a pertinent piece of news had occurred and asked if I had to worry, no one contacted me back! After 2 months of waiting, I contacted the two again and said, are we filing anything yet?I got back a snarky reply, without a salutation or explanation "guess it's time to file." I fired them immediately! Run, somebody said, wish I had read the review beforehand!
