Review Kathryn Craven

She is A+++++, Amazing Attorney

Posted by K.M.Sun Apr 21 2019

If you have the honor to meet and retain Kathryn, you are truly blessed! She is the Ruth Bader Ginsburg of Fort Worth, an advocate at heart, with an amazing sense of strategy for complex cases. She helped recover a substantial amount for child support arrears, very well connected in the DFW area.
