Things Looked Up the Day I Hired Kathryn as my Attorney.

Kathryn is personable, knowledgeable, articulate, thorough, and patient. From day one, I knew that she was going to be a source of comfort during the most trying time of my life. As someone who has never been involved in any sort of court procedure, I felt at ease because she is the best communicator..., explaining the process, my rights and what a realistic outcome would look like. I never knew an attorney could be so encouraging. Kathryn has heart, empathy and she was there with me through the whole thing. Her staff is welcoming and friendly, and everyone in the office is prompt about attending your needs. I will never have to search for a family lawyer again because I lucked out and found the best one in town. On my court date, I felt unbelievably calm and collected because she had prepared me well and I knew exactly what to expect. My case closed with little stress and I know it's because she worked diligently to ensure the best outcome for my child and me. I highly recommend Kathryn, especially if you are aiming to protect your child's rights.

Kathryn is compassioniate, thorough and dedicated

Kathryn handled my divorce. She was absolutely intent on making sure I got the very best settlement and on ensuring I understood the repercussions of my decisions during the process. She was direct, especially when she believed I was making decisions against my best interests. She was also flexibl...e when my now-ex-spouse and I were making unusual requests. Kathryn was easy to reach when I had questions. She was supportive, which I very much appreciated. I don't think I realized quite how well she had represented me until the entire process was complete and I could see how great the settlement turned out for me and the children. I highly, highly recommend her.
