Ethical beyond question

Kathy Portnoy from the start was trustworthy and thorough. Her competence was excellent as was her knowledge of the law and what was best for my children. Her advice was based on years of experience, not in anger or retaliation and this has made the lives of my children, my own and my ex-spouse's a ...far more quality experience. I have not one regret at having chosen Kathy Portnoy to represent me and highly recommend her.

Go with confidence...

Having interviewed many attorneys I chose Kathy Portnoy. She is brilliant, compassionate and dedicated to ensure that the best outcome possible could be attained with the least hassle. Her character was most apparent when she advised me not to "win" the case but to settle because it would be in the b...est interest of my children. At the time I couldn't understand but she assured me what would be best... and she was right without any doubt. My current situation is the best it can be for my children (half-time custody) and a relatively amicable settlement with my ex. My children are learning for themselves about both their parents and are growing well. Life is too short to foster bitterness and to cause anguish to children. Kathy's reputation was very apparent among the judges and her colleagues. She's very tough when she has to be but also very considerate and personable. I always felt that I had confidence in her and highly recommend her (and her able staff) to anyone in need of solid and ethical representation.

  • 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.
