Posted by anonymous | May 30, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

One size doesn't fit all when it comes to child custody

During consultation she seemed like someone who cared and would be a good fit for me. After hiring Catherine she became very difficult to get ahold of and wouldn't return messages. She was extremely rude and never took the time to understand the complexity of my custody case. She just said that me ...and my childs father needed to grow up and learn to get along. In my case, this was not an option. If you need an attorney who will listen and advocate for you and your child during a difficult time in your life, I would not recommend her as your attorney.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
