I was in an abusive marriage with two young children who had also became victims of my husband when I finally found an out and could leave him. I had a consult with Kathryn Hudson. She sounded wonderful. She said all the encouraging words and even had counseling set up for me and my children. Kathryn... kept in contact with me and was a great motivational cheerleader to keep me going. I had a payment plan making payments because of my situation. Upon making my final payment Kathryn's personality changed. I was no longer being informed of the progress of my case. I would often call her office 3-4 times before hearing back from her. Time sensitive paperwork was not sent to my husband's attorney which caused me to be in contempt of court. Kathryn left for vacation and called me to tell me to take the paperwork to his attorney! She refused to summond netural witnesses who witnessed me being attacked by my husband. Didn't get vital police reports that pertained to my abuse. When we finally went to court Kathryn was so unprepared she kept losing her thoughts in mid sentence, fumbling her words, stopping mid sentence to walk back and review her notes. She very early in the hearing dismissed my key witnesses who could verify the mental and physical abuse that I had to endure. I was so upset because my husband had witnesses who I had never met in out 9 years together who got on the stand and claimed I didn't take care of my children and Kathryn never questioned his witness as to if they even knew me. My abusive husband received joint custody of our children he gets them every other week, does not have to pay child support and there is on primary custodian for my children. If my ex wants to yank them out of school and put them in a totally diffetent school district I have no say about it. If our sn if failing in class and needs tutoring he doesnt have to take him if he doesnt want to. My children are forced to be in the middle of this continuous battle. Kathryn didn't have the decency to call me. She text me telling me to appeal and with a new lawyer. I hired another attorney but thanks to Kathryn who signed the divorce paperwork before even notifying me I am not even able to appeal the judges ruling. How is life now for my children? My son preformed in a Christmas play this past December and his father had him that week. When I arrived at the program my youngest son had on short sleeves and no socks while his brother preformed in shorts and a short sleeved shirt in December with 30 degree weather while their dad had on jeans and a sweat shirt. It broke my heart to see them walk out without coats and I cried when my kids told me they went to school this way. Thanks Kathryn you have hurt me and my children far more than I can ever express. I only pray that those seeking help as I did will find another lawyer and not use you.

Kathie has been my attorney dealing with an out-of-state custody battle. Not only has she been in constant communication with me on EVERY issue pertaining to the case, but she was the first lawyer I've ever worked with to take an initial consultation on the day (and at the time) that I originally ca...lled to inquire, the first to provide me with a phone number to contact/text her at any time, and the first to REALLY care about my case. Her depth and breadth of knowledge on family court matters is amazing. Her ability to understand a case and strategically move forward is unmatched by any other family lawyer I've worked with. Hands down, she's the best. I now have custody of my children and it would not have been possible were it not for the level of care and follow through she delivered on this case.

My childs mother was constantly harassing me. Being jealous of my wife she made bribes with more time with our child if i stayed at my parents (away from my wife and other 2 kids) when it began to be more hostile i hired Ms Hudson to represent me. She was very efficient. everything was handled fast a...nd now i wish i would have called her sooner! i definitely recomend her to anyone!
