Catherine Hale Herrington

Julian Bernate: I can’t say enough about Cathy Hale and her team at The Herrington Law Firm. From start to finish, they were exceptional—professional, dedicated, and always responsive. Cathy is not only an outstanding lawyer but also a person of real integrity and compassion. Thanks to her experti...se and the hard work of her team, I was able to win my case. They guided me through every step with clear communication and genuine care. If you want a legal team you can truly count on—people with a strong moral compass and the skills to get results—look no further. Highly recommended!

I just finished divorcing my husband of 46 years, and cannot imagine having done it without The Herrington Law Firm. Cathy Herrington Hale is compassionate in her office and brilliant in the courtroom. The judge always awarded me more than I was told to expect. Her staff is well trained and wonde...rfully communicative. I always knew what was happening and what was going to come. Working with this firm made this terrible experience bearable and now I feel prepared to face my future with confidence and financial security.

Cathy was recommended by a friend and hiring her was the best thing I could have possibly done. An ugly divorce from a person who has several personal issues could have train wrecked my life but Cathy would not let that happen. She is kind and patient and she really cares about you as a person. To he...r, you are not another case, you are a friend in need of help. And thats what she does, she helps. I unfortunately had to see Cathy a few times in the courtroom and when I did she was very impressive! She is like Tom Brady in the 2:00 minute drill. She was prepared, focused, smart and plays chess while the others are playing checkers. No matter what your situation is, Cathy will make it better. I am so happy I found Cathy Herrington, and you will be, too.

I hired Cathy to be my divorce lawyer and I remain grateful for her everyday! My world fell apart and I was frantically trying to find a divorce lawyer; a dear friend recommended Cathy. I got in touch with her and she took my desperate call one night. She spent an hour on the phone with me. S...he listened and gave her honest opinion of my situation. I had contacted several other lawyers before her and the fit just wasn't right. I liked what she had to say, she didn't push me, and the next day I retained her as my lawyer. I met with her for the first time the following week and within a minute of meeting her I knew I had made the right choice. I could immediately tell that she was not only very intelligent, but I also loved her energy, her personality, and I could tell that she really cared about me as a client. Cathy was very mindful about how much things were costing me. She would explain options to me, but would also explain that it may not be worth the cost in the long run. This was really important to me as well; I really appreciated that about her. Another thing that stood out to me was how fast Cathy could process and create a new plan when situations changed. Knowing that my lawyer was at the top of her game and well respected in the legal community really put my mind at ease. It was quite impressive to see her in action in the courtroom. I knew that no matter what came our way she could handle it. I liked that it was a small office so it didn't take me long to get to know the staff there and for them to get to know me. I had a lot of interaction with her paralegal David. He is nothing short of amazing. Throughout this whole divorce process there was so much uncertainty, but one thing I know for sure is that because I had Cathy as my lawyer I got the best outcome possible. I learned my lesson. Pre-nup next time. Will hire Cathy for that too!

Cathy was recommended to me years ago when I first started going through my divorce, and I wish I would have hired her then. I thought she was more than I could afford, but after a five year divorce, I knew it would have been much quicker and cheaper with her by my side. Unlike the other attorney's... I hired (and ended up having to fire), she didn't just take my money and show up for court. She cared. And not just her, EVERYONE in her office had a vested interest in my case and my kids. They knew how difficult this road had already been for us and how much more difficult it was going to be. They were understanding, patient, kind and absolutely amazing. I wasn't just up against a jerk ex that didn't care if he destroyed our children to get to me, he actually had people willing to lie to that end. Not just friends and family, an actual licensed professional. As difficult as it was and as grim as the outcome looked, Cathy, Megan and Karen NEVER left our side. They could have had us settle or give in to the ridiculous demands of the other side, but they didn't. They knew that even if the lie was never found out we wanted to do whatever we could to try to get the kids out of that environment. We planned and prepared for weeks before the trial and they made the process as pleasant as it could possibly be. I was in amazing hands with Cathy and Megan during the trial. Not only did they stick to the facts to try to keep the case as civil as possible, but they were able to get ALL of the facts of the case out in the open. Win or lose, I can't tell you how amazing that was, and against all odds, the judge ruled in our favor. I know Cathy and her team are the only reason my kids are thriving right now. We owe so much to her that we will never be able to articulate or pay back. Having her represent me gave me hope for the first time in many many years. You would think with all of her years of experience she would be hardened to the process, like so many of the attorneys I've encountered, but it seems to have had the opposite impact on her. She cares so much about the human factor in her cases and what's going on in our lives, not just what's relevant to court. She's renewed my faith in lawyers and after 8 long terrible years, my family and I can now sleep well at night. If you're looking to get back at your ex or engage in mud slinging or any such nonsense, don't hire her. It's a waste of both of your time and money. If you're doing your best to co-parent and help your children cope with life after divorce and your ex is deliberately and maliciously interfering with that and you have no other option, call Cathy. Tell her what's going on, tell her what you hope to accomplish, and get moving in the right direction for the good of your family. My only regret is that I hoped for too long that things would get better and that I was somehow avoiding a more acrimonious divorce by not pursing legal action. Trust me when I tell you that is not the case. Having an attorney doesn't make your divorce worse, it protects you in case the other party wants to make it bad. Even if you're sure your divorce is going to go smoothly and you can both act like adults and in the best interests of your children, Cathy and her associates are absolutely outstanding in mediation. Even if everyone agrees, divorce is very stressful and the mediation part of it is just awful. They make the process smooth and as stress free as possible. They do everything they can to keep negotiations calm and rational and to present all of the options with pros and cons and possible next steps. I absolutely ADORE Cathy and her no nonsense approach to everything. She is just what we needed and I couldn't be more thankful and grateful to count her as one of my dear friends. Even if you don't think you need Cathy, trust me ... you do. She's the perfect fit for every type of divorce and you will be so glad to have her during this process.
