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.

I was lucky to work with Katy on a case with a mutual client (I am in the financial services industry) and got a first hand look at her amazing work ethic and no nonsense approach. I was impressed with her so when the time came for me to go through this process, she was an easy pick. Katy filed for m...e in September and we were done in December. She was also able to recommend a "like minded" lawyer from another firm who my ex-husband hired. This helped to keep the process from escalating into a circus. I would highly recommend her and her firm.

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.

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.
