Great attorney!
Katherine is a great attorney who knows her stuff and will not waste your time. I hired Katherine for post-decree issues that were handled quickly and professionally. She is straightforward about what you can expect from her and the courts and always relayed this to me, every step of the way. I felt heard and understood by both Katherine, and her associate Kate, who were quick to respond to questions or concerns. In the end, I walked away with great settlement. I have already recommended Katherine to several people and will continue to do so.

Client
Katherine Becker was excellent. She kept me super informed, and was an amazing advocate for both me and my children. Every detail was covered professionally and quickly. It was also clear in the courtroom on prove up day that Katherine was well respected by both peers and judges alike. Considering that and that her rates are quite reasonable for a skilled lawyer, I can’t recommend her enough!!

Excellent Attorney
Ms. Haskins Becker and her team put my mind at ease from our first meeting and consultation. She took the time to answer all of my questions, and there were many, and I immediately felt confident in my decision to retain her firm. A divorce is never an easy process, and I had specific requirements and requests that she always respected and honored. If I had known that I could have gotten through this process so painlessly and within 7 months, I would have probably acted sooner. I would highly recommend Katherine and her team.

Highly recommended.
I would recommend Katherine highly. She was very professional and truly kept me informed during my divorce. I know she was looking out for my best interests and was honest with me at all times. She responded to correspondence in a timely and professional manner. She outlined various options when I had decisions to make and suggested alternatives where I did not see them. All billing was fair, detailed and communicated in a timely manner. There were no surprises.

Payroll Dispute with ADP Won, Not Settled
Transparency, proficiency and follow up are simple but rare characteristics in the professional services industry. Katherine was clear about what I could expect, kept me informed, followed up and followed through in our attempts to solve an issue lost in the maze of a bureaucratic organization. She exerted pressure to find the right people at ADP on a payroll issue, persuaded their counsel of the merits of my complaint and got a check sent to me by overnight delivery for the full amount requested within a week...after months of my efforts. She balanced pressure, patience, courtesy and professionalism throughout the process, when and where it was needed.
