Unbelievably Proficient and Professional!

Kate was an absolute pleasure to work with. She handled all of my concerns promptly and always made herself available for conversation when issues came up. I highly recommend her if you are going through a divorce, she worked circles around my spouses so called "experienced" lawyer and she was alwa...ys two steps ahead of him. At one point my spouse actually wanted to fire her lawyer and just let Kate finish out the paperwork process. She's that amazing folks.

Miracle Worker!

Kate was very professional and delivered on everything she intended to. She kept me well informed throughout the process and was able to rush my divorce through in less than one week. Even though my final bill was much higher than what was estimated, I would still recommend Kate to anyone needing he...r services. Just budget for more than what is estimated.

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.
