Catrina Farrugia

I got divorced 2016 so that I could provide the children and myself with a better life, so I thought. Since I’ve been divorced, I’ve had more communications with my ex, via motions, then we did during our marriage. Unfortunately, these communications were filled with negativism, blame, belittling, an...d manipulation. This has been emotionally and financially draining for me. I felt that I was in a vicious cycle where I was constantly advocating for my children and myself, but was getting nowhere, but broke. I felt that the court system was a monopoly. I was going to be in this perpetual vicious cycle until my youngest graduated high school (in 5 ½ years). I needed to find an attorney that would put an end to the vicious cycle and put my narcissist of an ex in his place. Then I met Catrina Farrugia. As I spoke to Catrina, I was in disbelief not only on how she heard me but listened. I was completely amazed by Catrina’s energy and her responses to my questions. I had to pinch myself to make sure I wasn’t dreaming that such a compassionate person could also be so assertive, ambitious, and fierce. Catrina perseverance was reflected in my last hearing. I finally had an indefatigable attorney advocating and representing me. My only regret is that I wish I found her sooner.

My life was turned upside down when a company took advantage of my partnership. It wasn't a huge case, however, it was huge to my family and I. Catrina took the case and we won the best possible outcome that I think could have happened considering the circumstances. She was not just an attorney but a... true counselor that gave it to me straight. My family of 6 was on the line and we prevailed victorious. Thank you Catrina for your help.

I was interviewing a few attorneys to represent me in my divorce after 12 years of marriage. Speaking with Catrina on the phone (for an hour literally on her dime) I could tell she already understood the complexities of my situations. She is WAY beyond her years Of practicing law. Things liked most ...about Catrina. Her preparation and readiness prior to a hearing motion whatever was beyond anything I expected. Not only did she know exactly what to do to support our case with the law she anticipated opposing counsels arguments. She was so prepared she often shut down the other side. She doesn’t put up with BS. It was apparent to me in my search for a lawyer and during the process she knew all the moving pieces and people needed to know during the process. She was matter of fact, to the point and doesn’t get pushed around. If she needed to roll up her sleeves and get scrappy u just knew she wears ready to go. On the other side she was also extremely fair and up front. If our side had exposure to items she kept it real and didn’t set me up for disappointment. It’s like she knew exactly what to expect abd had me aware going in. As a business owner all my life I’m used to micro managing people in my employee and she was able to manage me and not allow me to hurt myself. She’s headstrong prepared and will fight for you no doubt. I didn’t get the feeling this was just another case to her. When I was on the clock it was MY time. That’s another thing about Catrina. She never once over billed me. Her rates are fair and I truly believe ANY other attorney would have ended up at least 20% higher in attorney fees I have nothing negative to say about Catrina. I really felt like I had my back covered completely. Which to me cutting down on my anxiety and concerns is priceless
