Highly Recommended

With my divorce and child-custody case, Ms. Flood has continually impressed me with her knowledge, preparation, and professionalism. We've been in hearings twice now regarding custody issues, and each time, I've walked out of the courtroom getting everything I want and more. I've been a high-maintena...nce client, and Ms. Flood always makes time for me and is genuine in her concern for my children's and my best interests. I highly recommend her.

CAUTION !!! Dishonest, misleading, thief! READ

I hired this attorney to get visitation and or custody of my baby, Kathrini Flood took $3000 as a retainer, I never met her, I tried, I waited 2-3 week at a time for phone appointments that she was not able to answer, I ask she file a restraining order to keep my ex from leaving the country with my c...hild, it was never filed for, I have a court date and go to find out my attorney Kate filed to continue the case without asking or telling me, to continue was the only paperwork she filed a Sept for when she quit my case less then aa week of trial date, I lost my daughter, I lost everything because of Kathrine Flood, and she kept my money, she charged me for everytime i called and her secretary answered to say Kate was not available. Don't believe the reviews, it must be her staff, they seem to be a bunch of man haters, Kathrine Flood was a liar to me, did not do her job in any way shape or form and stole money from me she did not earn. Please don't risk your children's future by hiring Kathrine Flood. I have my baby now after hiring a good male attorney. Everything that was done to me legally has been reversed no thanks to Kathrine Flood but the scars from emotional damage on my baby and me caused by Kathrine Flood will last forever. Dont trust Kathrine Flood, dont trust her employees, if an attourney has a bad review go somewhere else. Your children and you are worth it. Everything said here is from my personal experience with Kathrine Flood and her firm, I never knew of her before I hired her. Good luck

Hi James, When you hired me, about two and a half years ago, you misrepresented the facts of your case to me, which hindered my ability to represent you. (Hiding something from your lawyer is never a good idea, as we cannot protect you from things we have not been informed of.) Specifically, you failed to disclose a number of investigations pending against you which had direct bearing on the way the Court would evaluate custody of your child. In addition, you were repeatedly abusive to my staff, shouting at them and using profanity. You were warned more than once that I do not tolerate that behavior, and that if you continued to abuse my staff, I would withdraw. (This was also explicitly stated in the retainer agreement you signed and which we went over verbally, as I do with all clients as a part of my intake process.) That being said, my staff and I did everything in our power to protect you up until my withdrawal was granted. You were notified of my withdrawal in writing nearly three weeks before your hearing date. Enclosed in that withdrawal letter, we refunded the portion of your retainer which had not been consumed by our legal work - legal work which included drafting and filing a petition and request for immediate hearing, extensive consultation with you, investigation into your case, and the rendering of my legal advice and opinion. We only bill for work actually performed, so we absolutely did not keep the remainder of your retainer payment. You were refunded over $1000 via check number ending in -09, which you cashed.
