Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Kathryn Kase does the impossible so well. She takes on cases and causes that to most of us appear hopeless. She then pours her tireless efforts into whatever it is and achieves relief for that client more often than not. She has been a fantastic mentor for us doing capital murder death penalty work, always there to share her wisdom and to help in any way. I endorse this lawyer's work"

Relationship: Worked for lawyer

"Kathryn is a hollistic defender who sees her clients as people first and foremost. She taught me how to investigate and work a case and that no witness is too remotely or tenuously connected. Watching her in trial is like taking a master class."

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.
