Catherine M. Sullivan's Lawyer Endorsements
"When a dear friend of my family was in need a divorce lawyer, and I did not want to be involved because of our personal relationship, I referred her to Catherine. I knew from past cases in which she had been my opposing counsel, that my friend would be well represented."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. Catherine and I have battled several cases together over our years of practice and I have always found her to be prepared and diligent. She is a tenacious advocate for her clients and yet is able to resolve issues without unnecessary expenditure of time. In addition, I have always found Catherine to be accessible and responsive to telephone calls etc... If you are seeking an attorney who knows what they are doing and cares about her clients you should contact Catherine."
