Phenomenal Divorce Attorney

I hired Kathryn as my divorce attorney. It was one of the best decisions I made and I am extremely happy with the outcome. My ex was trying to take advantage of me at every opportunity. Kathryn fought and defended me as if I was part of her family. She got a fraudulent MSA tossed out. She filed a ex ...parte to protect my assets and make sure I received the proceeds from the sale of my house. She made sure that I understood the law and what I am entitled to. Anytime I inquired about something, she promptly responded with the information I requested and more to make sure I fully understood. She made sure she understood my priorities and always acted in my best interests. I couldn’t be happier with Kathryn as my lawyer. She went above and beyond the call of duty. I highly recommend her.

Family Services

Kathryn was amazing! From day one she was very knowledgeable and thoroughly explained options, the legal system and helped us with all the legal jargon as we moved through the system. She was also very easy to get a hold of and incredibly timely in her responses and always available to us. Working wi...th her during this difficult process made things smooth and seamless. Would defiantly recommend having her on your side to navigate and be your voice if you ever find yourself needing a fantastic lawyer.

Intelligent, Responsive, Empathetic Attorney!

I cannot say enough positive things about Attorney Potratz. She guided me through my divorce with ease and was there to answer all of my (many, many!) questions. During what was an extremely stressful and overwhelming time in my life, I was so thankful to be working with Attorney Potratz. She is extr...emely knowledgeable and had impressive response times. I had many questions throughout the process and she always gave me a thorough explanation and put my mind at ease. She is extremely detail oriented and organized, as well. Not only is she an incredibly talented attorney but, more importantly, a kind and empathetic person. Thank you, Attorney Potratz, for guiding me through this challenging time.

Client

Kathryn filled in for my attorney at my first court date. Which had me very nervous & concerned. However with only speaking to Kathryn over the phone, the day before my court date. I was amazed by her professionalism in court. She was confident, you could tell she studied my case & asked all the rig...ht questions. She was able to make a personal connection with me in just that short amount of time! Would definitely recommend attorney Kathryn Potratz for Family Court Action.
