Kathryn Homburger Mickelson

I received a referral for Katy from an acquaintance and she was my first consultation, which was held at a very nice and modern office in downtown Chicago. I was able to meet multiple members of her team during the consultation and she walked through how she saw my case going. Having just been served... and never working with an attorney before I was very anxious about the whole situation, but her confidence and thoroughness during the consultation was very impressive. I had another consultation lined up, but felt confident after that first meeting to retain her services. During the divorce process, her team was communicative and responsive while remaining mindful of cost. When the opposition threw us some curveballs, Katy and her team were quick to react while presenting me my options. I never felt like they tried to push me into any one scenario, giving me the advice and knowledge to do what I felt was best for my situation. In spite of the aforementioned curveballs and tension from the opposition, Katy was able to achieve a settlement agreement that was aligned with and protective of my interests that felt like the best case scenario. While divorce is not a pleasant process by any means, I felt comforted and protected by Katy and her team during the entire process. I hope no one I know has to ever have a divorce, but if they do I would 100% send them her way.

Ms. Kathryn Mickelson and her team at Beerman Law in Chicago were truly outstanding! I would like to recommend her enthusiastically for anyone in need of a great lawyer. She exceeded all of our expectations as our retained legal attorney for a divorce case. She was attentive, detail oriented and ...more importantly communicative at each step of the way in the process. She listened to our story in a very approachable manner on initial consultation and evaluated the case analyzing for us all the possible scenarios and outcome; she came up with a solid plan. The case was concluded swiflty and favorably as her team moved quickly with legal proccedings and engaged the other attorney most effectively for an optimal resolution. With all honesty we could not have hoped for a better outcome. Ms Mickelson's legal fees were reasonable and worth every bit of it for the all the services provided. I would like to thank her wholeheartedly once again for all the legal assistance and will most certainly retain her services again otherwise will refer every possible client to her firm.

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.

From the initial consultation to the final judgement, Katy was with me every step of the way. She was highly responsive to email and phone inquiries and explained every step of the divorce process. I always felt that she looked out for my and the kids best interest. She was cognizant of keeping cos...ts at bay, which was truly appreciated. She and her team are utmost professionals in their field.

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.
