Posted by Jessica | June 9, 2017 | Hired Attorney

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Fantastic work by Kathleen!

I hired Kathleen to help me enforce a divorce judgement when my 'simple' divorce got out of hand. She is knowledgable and straightforward, and I was so grateful to have her taking care of the details. My case had a great outcome and I know it was because she worked so hard for me! I absolutely recomm...end her and will be passing her name along to my friends.

Avvo Rating

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.
