Kathryn L. Dudley

Navigating a divorce in 2015 and a motion to modify in 2024 has been two of the most stressful times in my life. Kathi is the most caring, thoughtful, and strategic family law attorney in the St Charles County area. She is a great listener, can quickly recall the case facts and always responds in a ...timely and professional manner. As emotional as family law situations can be Kathi considers your feelings and filters/balances them with the best legal approach. Kathi’s team is very effective and efficient in their processes as well. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with the most important thing to me, my family. I am thankful for the partnership. She models the way for all female professionals. Very inspirational.

I worked with Kathryn Dudley on my divorce which is one of the most devastating events you can experience in your lifetime. Kathryn helped me throughout each step and made it easier. She was supportive and helped through the really rough things you need to do. I highly recommend her if you are lookin...g for someone to look out for your side. She does not back down.

I got passed off to Ms. Dudley after an initial consultation in Clayton. I was told she was the best. I felt she was unfriendly and did nothing to help my divorce. My dad felt she needed to be the most attractive woman in the room anytime, anywhere. I was under so much stress I didn’t care about ...any of that. I cared about my kids and my future. I came out alright with my kids but my future not so much, and if it wasn’t for my dad, God knows what would have happened.

I hired Kathy Dudley in 2015 to handle my divorce case. She acts very sincere and caring upon the initial consultation. Like many others that have written reviews, I thought because of her firms reputation she was the best money could buy. Well, that is the farthest thing from the case. Now, 3 ye...ars later, I still have not been granted a divorce. She doesn't return calls in a timely manner but "loves" to email. I even requested that she stops emailing but she said that's her firms policy. Of course emailing takes more time than having a verbal conversation so that's why she prefers to communicate that way. We parted ways several months ago and I filed a complaint with the Office of Chief Disciplinary Counsel against her. My total bills were $58,000 with her, and I am no closer to a divorce than the day I hired her in 2015. If you want to throw your money away, drive down Highway 70 and throw it out the window so you can at least get some enjoyment out of it. Notice, I am putting my first name on here because I am want everyone to know that I am not afraid to voice my opinion against the way she practices law. I was told by my new attorney they have people in there office that post good rating anonymously so people will use their firm and dilute the negative comments.

I could not have been more pleased with my experience with using Mrs. Dudley as my attorney. I honestly have absolutely no regrets. During my whole time with Mrs. Dudley I felt very understood and felt as though she was very empathetic. I never felt rushed, or like she did not care at all. Using Mrs.... Dudley was the best thing I could have done while going through my divorce. If you choose her to be your attorney you will not regret it!!
