Worst JUDGE

I would give her zero stars if I could. Kate Stone is one of the most biased, pro mothering judges I have ever came across. My husband lost rights to his daughter when we had compelling evidence against the mother all because Kate Stone immediately didn’t like our attorney but was close to the mothe...rs attorney. My husband lost his daughter in court because of Kate Stone and her biased judgement when last I checked a judge is never to be biased. Kate Stone is remarried with a man who is a stepfather to her children so if your a dad fighting for your rights with this judge just know you will not win your case. No matter how much evidence you have against the mother. This woman should not be a judge nor will I ever refer to her as a judge.

Impressive!

Kates diligence and determination helped get me the best possible outcome in my case. She fought hard for me and impressed me on every level. I would highly recommend Kate to anyone needing legal counsel.

Great Attorney

Kate was extremely helpful in guiding me through my divorce. Made sure I got exactly what I wanted in my final divorce decree and made sure my rights as a parent were protected. She definitely made what is an extremely difficult situation much more bearable. I could not be more confident in my recomm...endation of her services to any family or friends.

Divorce - prompt and efficient

Kate started by listening - and among all the professionals I've dealt with she excels at listening. Kate does not have a cookie cutter approach she fits your case into. After getting a complete idea of my divorce case, she gave a good idea of the time and cost I'd be looking, and the best outcome I ...could hope for from a settlement. She also identified potential pitfalls. I've just completed the process - we had about 3 months of difficulty locating my former spouse who was 'hiding out'. Total process from beginning to end has been under 6 months - it would be 3 months if we were able to locate and serve my former spouse with no delay. Her estimates of time and cost were exactly on - and we had the outcome she identified as the best possible. Kate delivers and she understands the process and expense. You'll get a good understanding of your case right away, and you'll get effective follow through.

RESULTS!!!

I have struggled with 3 attorneys that were able to get me nowhere in my child custody/child support case. I had pretty much given up. My case had been going on for 3 years. I decided to get a free consultation with Ms. Stone. In less than a month, she was able to sort through all of the nonsense of ...my case and prepared paperwork for me that gave me full custody and child support that I had not received for 3 years!! She is amazing!! Not only is she very knowledgeable, she is very professional and responds very quickly to any question that you might have. Ms. Stone is THE attorney to hire!!
