Extremely Professional and Respectful

I hired Kathryn Ciesla as my attorney in my family matter to help ensure that my two kids remained in a consistent and healthy environment, and she made a meaningful difference during a very challenging time. She was thoughtful, respectful, and truly took the time to listen and understand the situati...on rather than making assumptions about me, my family, or my children. Kathryn and her team were responsive, thorough, and clearly dedicated to ensuring all voices and facts came to light. I felt heard and treated fairly, which is not something you always experience in legal situations, especially in the family court system. It was clear that not only the judges, clerks, and court staff respected Kathryn, but they valued her insight. It was also evident that she was well liked and respected among the other attorneys in the field. I’m very thankful for her professionalism and care, and I highly recommend her and the rest of her team at Ciesla Beeler.

Single fathers savior

I play music for a living as a singer/songwriter. I’m on stage every night and have performed to the upwards of 30,000 people while opening for The President . But for some reason I can’t find the words to express what Kathryn and her associates did for my son and I . Ya see I’ve been the most direct... care for my son since he was born. He IS my life,my heart and my compass. To legally fight for this as a father can be a challenge,especially when you don’t look the typical part of Dad. Kathryn her team and her partner Jessica Weiner fought fearlessly. They coupled that with knowledge and had the ability to convey that to me so I understood what was going on every step of the way! In a custody battle there’s really no winners and in fact the child is the one that loses. I feel like my son I are now the exception to that! Because of the grace,strength and passion of someone like Kathryn. My family thanks you! Adam

Professional. Attentive. Advocate.

Child custody cases are the worst thing that can happen to any family. Kathryn and her team at Ciesla Beeler have gone above and beyond to protect and advocate for my children. I’ve always felt listened to, given solid advice and had a clear plan. Very professional / timely with emails, phone calls a...nd countless court appearances. She’s a strong woman who you want on your side of the courtroom.

Kathyrn Ciesla

I had to hire Kathryn after I was commanded to appear in court for a child custody case that was not mine. With a few days to work with, Kathryn was able to quickly get my 2 days appearance reduced to only 1 day. Kathryn listened to my concerns and was very attentive and extremely aware of my right...s. Her response time to my calls and emails were always the same day. I felt very confident with Kathryn's ability to counsel for my rights and to be there in court with me. Luckily, the case was settled before I had to testify. I highly recommend Kathyrn for not only her knowledge in family law, but for her calm demeanor and swift approach to handling the law and working for her client rights.

Skilled, fair, and intelligent attorney and defender of children's interests.

Kathryn is my children's court-appointed representative. She is smart, dedicated, exceedingly fair, and has a terrific ability to call things as she sees them. She is also a skilled negotiator, never losing sight of what was best for my children and enduring an incredibly frustrating situation with... my ex-spouse. I would highly recommend her in the capacity of a children's representative.
