Don't hire this woman for child custody cases!

Ms. Lockhart "nickeled and dimed" us on charges, billing over $40k in 2 months, while accusing me of lying about everything. Every time we tried to remove her from case, she said we could not without opposing attorney's consent, which was a lie. She did so much damage to our case, that it took over ...a year for our current attorney (we finally fired her) to set things right. We are still dealing with the trauma the process has caused my son.

Excellent Attorney, she will fight for you!

Ms. Lockhart represented me in case concerning a suit against a large company. She was able to stop all presiding against us and also had one case dismissed. She was available and quick to respond to my emails. Ms. Lockhart was very thorough in explaining the case to me and what possible outcomes t...here would be. Should I ever need an attorney again I would definitely call Ms. Lockhart. I highly recommend her.

Best Lawyer

Cathy is very compassionate to her clients, she really knows what some of her clients are going through. She has the backbone to stand up for her clients against other lawyers. She is very knowledgeable regarding family law and helped me put a deceptive person in his place. She is quick to respond... to her clients needs. She helps keep her clients grounded and calm when it seems that life is out of control. Wish I had meet her sooner.

Thank you. I care deeply for my clients. The legal wars are complicated and emotionally challenging.

AN ATTORNEY WHO CARES!

I am always careful when selecting an attorney to represent me. I have always viewed the industry as a "for profit" business. After meeting with Cathy, I felt like she was a family member helping me out compared to it being a business transaction. She handled my Divorce and Child custody case with de...ep insight and really analyzed the complex situation. She was never shy to ask questions and took the time to understand what I really wanted out of the case. I had previously had two consultations and this time I felt the difference of what I wanted. In the end, everything I wanted I received plus more. I could not have made a better choice.

My clients and I become family during difficult times. The legal system is hard and emotional. Thank you for the recommendation!!

Review by a colleague

I have had the pleasure of working with Ms. Lockhart over a period of many years. She is professional, knowledgeable and has a true concern for her clients. She is a hard worker and is not intimidated by complications that arise in the legal process. I have frequently referred clients to her, know...ing that she will provide excellent representation.

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.
