Went above and beyond. Fought for my child

This woman literally got my child back into my custody. She went toe to toe with the GAL and Judge and fought for my rights and me.

Very pleased

Catherine looked out for my best interest and was very good at explaining the law and options for me.

Great Attorney

I would recommend Catherine for all of your family law needs. She is a strong advocate for your case. She also is completely straightforward with you and won't tell you that you have a case if you don't! An honest attorney!! She did great work for us in a guardianship case and fought hard for us when it looked impossible.

Very helpful.

Helped in my divorce case with children. I recommend her to anyone that is going through a divorce.

I recommend this wonderful woman!

My lawyer was more than I could have expected my case was very complicated but she got the work done in such a short amount of time and was very understanding! I will miss her and I highly recommend her to anyone

Did not do her job

She did not do her job. Told us things were filed and that she would get things done for us and backed off the case while playing nice with another attorney to make deals that did not work in the favor and or safety of our family. She did not see this case through. She was terrible at communication. Numerous times of emergencies shortly after business hours 530-6 o’clock in situations that harm could of happened because of the situation and she was no where to be found and working things out with the other attorney which benefited the other party and not our family. Would never recommend.
