This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Would not recommend to a friend

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.

Unhinged

Kate is a condescending person with zero empathy or compassion for her clients or potential clients. Unprofessional correspondence, major personality switches, overall scathing attitude. Doesn’t listen or read and accepts no accountability for her mistakes or assumptions. She’s cold and arrogant. Sh...e will treat and speak to you like you’re an idiot and charge you excessively for it. I’ve never encountered a more venomous and unstable person, especially in what she claims to be a high-end, professional setting. To those seeking divorce counsel, beware! You will be traumatized all over again.

Superior

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!

Excellent attorney

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.

Divorce

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.

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.
