Cathleen Anne Sykes

I hired Cathleen Sykes for my recent high conflict divorce. I felt safe and protected by her. In all honesty she did the biggest share of the work on the divorce while the respondent was less then cooperative. I would very highly recommend her services to anyone who needs great legal representation!... She has years of experience with family law and can execute to find the truth and seek out remedies in the best interest of her client. Cathleens tenacity gave me hope to live, thrive, and be happy again. I appreciate all she has done!. If you want a brilliant fighter to be on your side, its Cathleen! I consider her a role model of excellence, and her true commitment to her clients shows, in her caring actions. Ie. putting a stop to the opposing parties tactics that could’ve easily blown my budget out of the water. She knew who the best mediator and military expert to help with my divorce! She kept the process moving quickly along as far as was feasibly possible on her end. When we had to go to court she calmly and politely intercepted and stopped my ex from approaching me and communicating with me. She was diligent in keeping my new phone number and address secure from my ex. And did everything she could so I wouldn't have to see or talk to my ex for my safety. She is great at returning emails and phone calls! And she doesn't make needless calls or emails to rack up your charges. She is very mindful of your budget! And best of all she gave me peace of mind and gave me my FREEDOM back!! What are you waiting for?! Call her!

Cathleen is highly intuitive and efficient. She is mindful of cost and has high integrity- not just about billing but also in her professiinal values. She knows the law very well and I consider her incredibly smart. If you let her do a job, trust her to do it well and not inundate her with needless e...mails and phone calls, she will do a great job, and you won't spend extra money. Be concise and responsive so she can work for you. As a single parent, with two kids and a full time job, i was able to simply trust her to do her job. I highly recommend Cathleen.

Cathleen handled my divorce and order for protection. She has been unfailingly prompt and thorough in responding to my questions and concerns. I am confident in her legal knowledge--she is a smart and talented attorney. But what makes her even more effective is that she is also in tune with the no...n-legal dimensions of a case--her ability to listen and respond kindly is invaluable. I highly recommend Cathleen.

I will forever be grateful to Cathleen. She stepped in for us and took over a complicated case that our previous lawyer had continuously dropped the ball on. The other parent in this case was breaking the court order and trying to keep the children from us by denying parenting time and phone contact,... among other things. Cathleen recognized what was best for the children and didn't write us off because of the complexities in our case. Our previous lawyer told us it would be nearly impossible to hold the other parent accountable because we lived in another state and that we should accept that they will have "control" of the children until they are 18. We didn't believe this had to be the case and neither did Cathleen. Cathleen gave us knowledge of the law and guidance. She fought hard for us and focused on facts and Minnesota statutes in order to help our case in court. After our horrible experience with our previous attorney, I did not even know that an attorney could be so responsive, and clear and prompt. Soon after hiring Cathleen my stress began to fade away and for the very first time I felt comfortable with where our case was going and knew that we were now in good hands. Cathleen far exceeded my expectations and I could go on and on about how I feel that she "saved us". Our case is currently under advisement and we are awaiting the judge's decision. I felt compelled to write this positive review for Cathleen, even before we knew the outcome of our case. I am confident that no matter what the outcome is that Cathleen did everything in her power to help us and the children. Thank you Cathleen, please know that your hard work does not go unnoticed and you are in fact a game-changer and life-saver!
