Katherine Elizabeth Blackmon

Katherine was an amazing help to me as I sought her counsel for my divorce. She explained everything clearly and helped me understand what to expect each step of the way. She is an amazing advocate for her clients and the families she represents. My brother has also used her in a complicated custo...dy battle and she got my nephew and brother the results that were in his best interest. I have recommended her to other friends and family and would not hesitate to use her again and again. She is ethical, compassionate, intelligent and fierce in the representation of her clients.

Katherine has two loves: protecting children and money. She took on my case and was paid appropriately. She was very good friends with the opposing counsel, had a nickname for him, “Precious”, and while she fought for the protection of myself and my children (to which I give due credit - she did well...) she also began negotiating with opposing counsel “Precious” for him to come work with her. I received this information from her and her legal secretary. I learned that she offered Precious a generous package with more security. All of this raised red flags with my attorney relatives, (as it’s a serious ethics violation) but I kept on because I deeply loved and respected Katherine and her legal secretary. After everything was settled except for the financial part, Katherine dumped me as her client because “She and Precious (my husbands attorney and opposing counsel) were afraid that <husband> would sue everyone for all of the ethics violations (sharing privileged information about their clients, myself and my husband, and negotiating to work together in Katherine’s firm while they were in litigation with us as their clients.) I was dumbstruck and devastated. I am now left to find another attorney, and my husband shall have to also, as it is unethical for Precious or the co-counsel, (Partner at his firm) to work with my new attorney. The motive for this was money as she stated “I have boxes of bankers cases and Precious is just so good at that.” All of this has truly devastated me, and the attorney who originally referred me to her is furious and will never refer anyone to her again. I was bribed, cajoled, and threatened aggressively in her office to walk away quietly. All I can do is tell the truth, and I gave Katherine and her team that at more. We are all just beside ourselves because of this, and I hope this prevents anyone else from experiencing the same thing. She is unethical and hiring her is a great risk.
