Kathleen is a phenomenal lawyer with a very high professional personality.

I am ext...remely happy about the outcome of my divorce, she got me everything that I wanted in the entire process..I will highly recommend Mrs. Kathleen Lefevre and Skillern law firm to anyone seeking for a divorce.

Force to be reckoned with

Kathleen saved my family. After hiring four lawyers to deal with an extremely complicated and volatile divorce and custody situation, Kathleen was the only one who got it done. Other attorneys - both hired and consulted - were content to tell me it wasn't their fault, it was the system. Kathleen woul...dn't accept that and attacked the problem from multiple angles, adapting as things continued to change. She showed up to hearing with CASES of legal books flagged to present case law for anything the other side may have thrown at us. Her preparation. Was impeccable. Moreover, Kathleen is an intellectual, and she approached my case with a professionalism and legal sophistication that are unmatched. She under promised and over delivered. And because we are all living in reality, I think its important to add that her billing was absolutely fair, and I never had any quarrel with anything on invoices from her or her associates. You won't do better than Kathleen, I am certain.

Troublesome divorce

I have been involved in a troublesome divorce for many years. Kathleen has represented me through the latest issues and has been a great attorney. She helped me avoid unreasonable changes. I can’t thank her enough for being there through what was a very frustrating process, calmly answering many ...off hour emails to settle me when I got upset about a legal maneuver. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Kathleen again.

Family Law

Kathleen took my case to trial and I won custody which is not easy for a father to do! She is a brilliant attorney who knows the law. Kathleen is sincerely passionate and cares about your case and situation. She is very comfortable to talk with and genuinely cares about children. I would highly recom...mend Kathleen for anyone seeking a family law attorney.
