Kathryn Burnstein

Katherine Burnstein came highly recommended by another lawyer I've known for years, and worked for nearly 18 months on my divorce and custody case. Katherine possesses a perfect balance of compassion, empathy, and occasional brutal honesty when necessary. Her years of experience and her clear lov...e of ongoing learning were invaluable in helping me navigate a complex situation that I knew little about. She had the patience and willingness to listen and help me figure out what I wanted and needed, without ever pushing me toward her own conclusions. When the need arose for specialists outside of the field of law to assist with the case, I was very impressed with the experts she brought it. Katherine showed keen attention to detail, catching little details in the settlement proposals that were either errors or ambiguities. In the end, I benefitted from her ability to catch these details that others might have missed. Katherine seems to have good working relationships with other family lawyers in town and is respectful, professional, and friendly when communicating with them. When she needs to, however, she has a fierce strength and voice that gets what needs to be done, done. Going through a divorce is an agonizing experience, and it meant the world to me to have someone like Katherine fighting in my corner and walking with me through that difficult time. I can't recommend her highly enough.

I hired Ms. Burnstein to represent me in a battle with CPS as a father. I was so impressed by her knowledge of the law and her experience was such a big help to me and my family. I would and have recommended her to others and will continue to. She was such a pleasure to work with and made me feel ...at ease in a difficult time in our lives.

Kathryn Burnstein has represented me twice over the years and ultimately helped me gain custody of my children. The case was complicated and made more difficult by the fact that I live out of state. Ms. Burnstein was available when I needed her, she responded to my questions and concerns quickly, s...he was strategic in planning my case regarding my short term and long term goals, she was well prepared and very effective in Court, she was ethical, polite, and kind, and she fought hard for me and my children. Most importantly, she believed in me. I am now home with my children and I will always be grateful to Ms. Burstein for her help. I highly recommend her.
