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.

Excellent attorney - terrific person!

I have been acquainted with Ms. Lockart for several years now. Being a legal professional, I have seen her argue fearlessly in the courtroom for her client. She is ethical and respectful, but can be tough as nails. She is well acquainted with the legal system in Bexar and surrounding counties and... is a respected member in the legal community. Recently, she handled a sticky situation for me, and I couldn't be any happier with the outcome!

Great Attorney Great Service

I hired Ms. Lockhart after having a lot of frustration with other attorneys who really seemed to stop working once they had my retainer. My case was messy, complicated, and difficult because there was a lot of misinformation coming from the other side. Ms. Lockhart worked tirelessly to sort through m...y case to get to what was the true facts of my case. Although my case took over 3 years to resolve, through no fault of Ms. Lockhart, in the end I came away with a very fair outcome that greatly benefited my child. I would not hesitate to recommend Ms. Lockhart to anyone requiring her services. She is fair, compassionate, knows the law, and is willing to go the extra mile for her clients.

Car accident

Great attorney. Compassionate. I was in a serious car accident, hit by a drunk driver, no driver license and Cathleen settled with my insurance since the drunk had very little. So glad I hired her.

  • 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.
