Kathryn Homburger Mickelson

I was in year three of a grueling and testy divorce when a friend mentioned Kathryn Homburger Mickelson with BEERMANN LLP to me. She had represented my friend in an exceedingly difficult divorce and she highly recommended I contact her. At the time I had an attorney, so months went by before I con...tacted Katy. I cannot tell you how thankful I am that I did. My only regret is that I did not do it sooner. In hindsight, I realize the quality of your attorney is as vast as the quality of a finding a good doctor. Nothing is more important than having someone represent you who understands what is needed for you and your family. Needless to say, if you are going through something as important and serious as a divorce, especially when children are involved, I can unequivocally recommend Katy to represent you. While my reasons are many to highly recommend Katy, the most important of them is that she is smart, strong and sincerely empathetic to your situation and needs. In a matter of weeks it was as if she had known me for 10 years; I don’t know how she does it. Thank you sincerely Katy for all you have done for me and my children. I am forever grateful. -Kelsey

Katy helped me through what should have been an easy divorce, but what ultimately proved to be a difficult one. She was patient with me during those times when I was, no doubt, difficult to deal with, and she was always sympathetic to my situation. On the other hand, she was an assertive and adept ad...vocate on my behalf. She was also always upfront with me regarding the case and how settlement negotiations work. This was especially comforting to me because I happened to move out of state almost immediately after hiring her. I suspected the move would complicate the proceedings, but Katy helped to make the transition smooth by keeping me up to date and responding to me quickly whenever I needed assistance. She was also very attuned to my financial circumstances; doing what she could to keep my costs as low as possible. I’m especially grateful for this. I highly recommend Katy, and, although I never want to find myself in the same position again, if I do, then I’d request she represent me again.

Kathryn Mickelson was the perfect lawyer for my case. What is remarkable about Kathryn Mickelson in particular is her compassion, ability to understand the relevant issues and take all necessary action to give her clients the very best. Especially in the area of divorce and child custody where many c...lients are struggling and I was one of them. She is fair and honest, answers phone calls and emails promptly. The lawyer that I hired initially for my case hardly worked on it for about a year therefore, I was looking for a good lawyer who would speed up the process and help me appropriately and I landed up choosing Kathryn Mickelson and since then I always thought that I made a perfect choice. She worked so diligently that I was able to get my child's sole custody and divorce in a year. I was extremely satisfied with my outcome and grateful to have such a professional attorney on my side. The entire team that helped me at Beermann Pritkin Mirabelli Swerdlove LLP firm was very smart, extremely knowledgeable about Family Law. I would highly recommend Kathryn to anyone looking for a well knowledgeable and responsible lawyer.

I so appreciated Katy! She provided great counsel to me when I needed it with the right balance of reality and great legal advice helping me to weigh the pros and cons of pursuing specific avenues (would the result be a long term win, and what would the repercussions and cost be in the meantime?). ...With Katy's advice and counsel I pursued an unusual resolution that, I firmly believe, helped guide my divorce process to the most productive conclusion. Katy consistently asked questions about how co-parenting was going to stay on top of the reality of my situation and offer ideas and potential avenues of resolution throughout the process. Katy identified and found the best resolution for me, but was also a human being that understands the emotional impact of divorce and was firmly patient throughout to help me keep the process moving productively forward. She helped me to keep an even keel so that I could continue to be my best at work and with family. Knowing that Katy was on top of my case and proactively working for me was a gift. I would also offer that her paralegal and support were solid. Very responsive and thorough. If I had questions about their work (and I sometimes did), Katy would talk through questions and changes. In addition to a positive resolution in my favor, I believe Katy saved me time and I’m forever grateful.

My family and I are so grateful to have worked with Katy. My parents were divorcing and we wanted to help my mom who had no source of income get a fair case. It was our mistake for not hiring Katy from the beginning. We hired an expense lawyer who charged in 15 min increments and burned through ou...r initial deposit and dumped us. Then we hired a very inexpensive lawyer that put my mother in a terrible situation. None of the lawyers we hired cared about my family and their future, until we hired Beermann Law. Not only did Katy handle the case far better than the predecessors but she also made sure we were making the right decisions from a cost benefit analysis. We also had an opportunity to meet with the partners and get a sense of relief that the firm was looking out for us and not just looking to make a profit. I highly recommend Katy and Beermann Law.
