I would not recommend working with Kate. I found that she had trouble keeping the specifics of my situation straight (and things were relatively simple). She also became aggressive and condescending. I was not comfortable moving forward with her as my attorney.

Ms. McConnico is kind. She is fair and honest. I never felt as though she was in a hurry. She listened and advised us well. I would recommend to anyone! The case was a victory for us!

Ms. McConnico represented me in a divorce matter. She has always represented me with care, compassion, and respect. Her knowledge of the law is without parallel.
Posted by anonymous | December 4, 2015 | Hired Attorney
I filed an uncontested divorce, no children and no property. Kate stepped right in to edit my paperwork, made sure that all my documents were correct, and walked me through the entire process.
"Kate McConnico is an excellent lawyer. She is very knowledgeable, always well prepared, and formidable in the courtroom. I'd hire her myself if I needed a family law attorney."
