Adoption attorney

We hired Cathy after a failed adoption that had been devastating to our family. She told us that she knew she could win for us. We were very cautious to get our hopes up. But she did everything she said she would do. She always returned phone calls and e-mails quickly and she stayed on top of the cas...e. She knew what she was doing and she knew the law. I appreciate her so much and would recommend her to anybody that has a Cherokee adoption case! She is definitely a winner!

Excellent Attorney

Catherine helped me so much in a guardianship matter involving my wife who is an incapacitated adult. I felt that there was never a question too stupid to ask. Her office was always speedy in returning my calls. When the matter was challenged in court, she represented me with zeal and confidence. I ...have recommended her to co-workers and friends should they ever need an attorney to represent them in guardianship or other family law matters.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
