The best advocate

There aren’t enough words to say how grateful I am for Kathryn. My very complicated, chaotic situation was handled quickly and with such a high level of professionalism. Kathryn is fierce and calm in the courtroom, and so kind and compassionate to her clients. She perfectly balanced the emotional mom...ents with reason. She was exactly what I needed and I’m so grateful for her expertise.

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, Divorce and Separation Attorney

Navigating the process of a divorce is a daunting challenge as most people have never been in this type of life-changing situation. Fortunately for me I had Kathryn Potratz assigned to my case. From the beginning she was extremely organized and did an excellent job laying out a road map showing how... the process was going to work and what each step entailed. Kathryn was very receptive of the massive amount of questions I had for her and answered them in a timely manor. There were several times I needed to make a decision and did not know which way to go. Kathryn laid out all of the information and explained her recommendation based on her experience and what would be the best outcome for me and my child. Based on my specific case I'm sure down the road I'll need to go back to court to update the Marriage Settlement Agreement. When that time comes I will only be calling Kathryn. Her professional demeanor and thoroughness helped me get through this process and allowed me to have a positive outlook on the next chapter in my life.

Exceptional Lawyer

Look no further - this is the lawyer you need! I consulted with Kathryn and am grateful to have her assistance with my case. She was extremely polite, prompt, knowledgeable and helpful and I would’ve been absolutely lost without her! My case has been difficult and draining, but Kathryn made the situa...tion as positive and streamlined as possible. I trust her tremendously.
