I went to law school in order to practice criminal defense. I strongly believe that if the state wants to take away a person's rights someone should be there fighting against them every step of the way.

Wonderful lawyer

My case was 7 years old and she made sure that I knew what to expect and what I needed to do. Sometimes she gave me the real deal about my case making sure that I would handle all that I needed to do. Ms. Kathy is very knowledgeable and is willing to listen and help you out to the best of her abiliti...es. I really appreciated all that she has done for me and if I ever get in any trouble again I will most definitely use her as my legal adviser.. I highly recommend Ms Kathy Mulcahy..

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.
