Professional and Dedicated

Kathryn is one of the best family law attorneys in the St Louis area. She is professional, knowledgeable, dedicated to her job and exceeded all of my expectations. She is very responsive and was always on top of communications regarding my case. I would highly recommend Kathryn to anyone in need o...f a family law attorney and have done so on many occasions. I have also used Paule, Camazine & Blumenthal law firm for other matters not related to family law and have been very pleased.

Ended up firing her, she was that bad

I hired Ms. Dudley for a custody case. After our initial consultation and paying my retainer, I never spoke with her again. She wouldn't return phone calls and it took her weeks to return emails. I ended up discussing the details of my case with her through email, she then asked a coworker to draw up... motions to submit to the court and the facts in the motions were all wrong. Ms. Dudley did not communicate the facts of the case to her coworker but she still charged me every cent for our email exchanges. I also had to ask for basic motions to be filed. She tooks no initiative at all. I had to search online what the next motions should be. I ended up firing her and hiring a new lawyer, I was afraid of losing my case because of her incompetence and lack of initiative. I hired her because I wanted the best ( I thought because she worked for a nice firm and was very expensive, thats she would be good) true, she is one of the higher priced lawyers but by far the worst that I've worked with. I hired a different lawyer and easily won my case.

Knows alot but not good on communication

Kathy knows a lot about the fields she covers but she is lacking in communication and doesn't make her clients feel that they are her number one priority. To be honest not worth the money she charges.
