Quite simply, she gave me my life back...

There is so much that I could say about this woman, and yet my words would always fall short... When I met Kathy, I was at a point in my life where I was stuck. I had experienced an injustice that I felt I was neither prepared for, nor equipped to fight. I was in what I thought was a hopeless and ...losing en devour, and quite simply, my life was at a stand still. After months and years attempting to scale the impressive wall before me alone, I remained tired and spent, at a loss for results, and without any obvious recourse. All that changed when I found Kathy. I have to admit, my story probably seemed quite far fetched when I laid it out before her. Yet, with nothing other than her trademark quiet resolve, Kathy began to analyze and accomplish every single objective before us. I never once felt I was on my own in the fight. In fact, I now refer to it as "Our" fight. Kathy became invested in our success, and made my goals her own. We fought to the very end, and we were victorious. Since our success, I have been asked countless times how I managed to find the lawyer I did. I always tell everyone I was just lucky enough to stumble across the most Texas Junk Yard Dog out there who wasn't scared to fight. And I genuinely mean that. She is fearless, and knows no bounds. Mark my words, you will not find a better compatriot to go in to battle with. If you are reading this, your search for council and guidance is over...

Employment and labor lawyer | Aug 31

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Kathy is one of the best known and most articulate advocates for workers. She speaks often at national events to teach other lawyers how to try employment-related cases. As a lawyer, if I have a question on a fine point of law, she is my first call. Quite simply, she should be on anyone's short list of lawyers to call in an employment emergency."

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.
