Kathryn Homburger Mickelson

Katy and her team worked with me for more than 18 months to finalize my divorce. She was extremely helpful in explaining the process to me, giving me tools to work with an outside mediator, and ultimately negotiating a settlement agreement and representing me in court. I completely trusted her advi...ce, and she made the process as smooth and as it could be. I particularly appreciated that her team treated my ex with respect, and that they were responsive to all of my concerns, including about budget.

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.

Kathryn was always honest and upfront about my case and how she would approach bringing the case to a resolution, My case was made much more difficult because my ex wife would not compromise on anything. Kathryn was the third attorney that I hired regarding the divorce. Her knowledge of the law and a...bility to negotiate far exceeded the two prior attorneys.

I had the pleasure of working with Kathryn on my recent divorce. Having never been through the difficult divorce process before, I had no idea what to expect. Kathyrn was a consummate professional and a true gem. Upon our first meeting we discussed what my goals were for the divorce and we worked ...on those goals throughout the entire process. She was very responsive in communication between myself and opposing counsel, highly knowledgeable about the subject matter, and helped to guide me through all of the legal matters. I truly felt that Kathryn had my best interests in mind as we worked through negotiations. I was very pleased that Kathryn was able to work in collaboration with opposing counsel and was able to help me reach the divorce goals we had set at the beginning of the process. Kathyrn was very through in explaining my role during the final divorce hearing and I felt adequately prepared for court. While I never plan on going through a divorce again, I would not hesitate to work with Kathryn in another future family legal matter and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a qualified divorce attorney.

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.
