Very Pleased-Would Highly Recommend

I had the good fortune of working with Kathryn Engel for some legal work, and was very pleased with her handling of my legal needs, in both situations (one of which was not in her area of specialization). She was very responsive (I was able to interact with her beyond normal business hours), handled... matters in a very confidential manner, and really took the time to listen to/understand my situation, and determine the best course of action. Our family was also going through a very emotional time, during the time that she helped me, and she was very sensitive to our situation. I'd absolutely recommend her for someone needing legal assistance.

Excellent professional attorney

Divorces can be difficult, not only emotionally, but lengthy and expensive. Kathryn made this process much easier to deal with. She was up front about all aspects of the process and was continually making sure that I understood everything every step of the way. I always felt she had my best intere...st in mind, while keeping the process moving forward. She always made me feel like I was her first priority.

Outstanding

Kathryn Engel was the first lawyer that I have had direct contact with. She's the kind of person that gives lawyer a "good name". Working with Kathryn and her Assitant Mary was a very comfortable experience. Kathryn explained everything about the procedure of divorce that was easy to understand. I ne...ver had a problem contacting or getting a response from her when I had questions. Nor did I have too many questions to ask as she kept me well informed of the progress of my case. I once stopped at her office to simply drop off some paperwork and even though I didn't have an appointment, she took time out of her busy day to sit down with me and go over my case and it's progress. Kathryn is an excellant lawyer in her field and I would recommend her services to anyone.
