A+++ Experience
Kathleen has been my Attorney for almost a year. I have been divorced for nearly 10 years and have been dealing with an ex-spouse who is continually requesting changes and modifications to Court Orders and current PTE’s. I was referred to Kathleen by someone my husband works with and she was well known for being fair, well-respected, tenacious and a wonderful advocate. I found all of these traits to be true and was overjoyed when she delivered even more. Kathleen has the education and the experience to help guide you and mentor you through the legal system. Custody disputes are very stressful and emotional. Kathleen did an excellent job of being fair and yet standing up for what is right. She has the fortitude to project future incidents and situations that may arise and does everything she can to set you up so that the kids are protected. She truly had my best interests in mind as well as the interests of my children. I have never felt so reassured and protected as I did under her direction. Hiring Kathleen’s services was the best investment I made in my future and the future of my children. She kept me focused on looking ahead to a future with clarity and direction for my children and for me. I know have a very clear understanding of my rights, the rights of my children and a general idea of how the court system works and views custody disputes. There are certain things in this life that are out of our control but to have the Peace of Mind that your children are being taken care, treated fairly, and treated with respect, is a tremendous weight lifted of your shoulders. My children are my world and I trust Kathleen implicitly to help protect them.
