Truly the best - Went above and beyond for me!l

Katherine truly did the impossible for me. She took on my case when things felt completely hopeless and turned it into the best possible outcome I could’ve imagined. From day one, she was honest, sharp, and fiercely dedicated, always one step ahead and fully invested in making sure I was protected an...d heard. What stood out most was her heart and determination. She fought for me like it was her own case, and her professionalism and compassion made such a difference during one of the hardest times in my life. Katherine is more than just an attorney, she’s the kind of advocate everyone hopes to have in their corner. I’ll always be grateful for how hard she worked and the outcome she achieved. She’s truly one of the best.

PHENOMENAL

Navigating the family court system can be terrifying. Finding myself in this position and knowing the battles ahead to fight for possession and decision-making rights for my child was beyond nerve-racking, I wasn't sure where to turn. Enter Katherine Obando… There aren’t enough characters to adequ...ately describe the attention and care she gave my case. On an interpersonal level, I consistently felt heard and understood – a HUGE relief in dealing with the stressors of the family law process. As my attorney, she made it evident she would FIGHT for me, and she did! I’ll forever be grateful for the amount of attention and energy she gave my case. STRONGLY recommend!!!

Professional, Responsive, Direct, Genuine

I was referred to Katherine by a friend. Katherine and her Team really set the tone for my experience by being very prompt with a response after my initial inquiry. During our initial meeting Katherine was very thorough at explaining to me the process of drafting a prenuptial agreement and was very... upfront of the timeline for completion. Katherine was able to breakdown the legal jargon so I could better understand the documents. During our interactions I could tell Katherine cared about me as a client and was very passionate about the work that she does. I highly recommend Katherine.

Detailed. Honest. Relatable. Hands down the best!

Katherine and team were amazing. I switched law firms to them about mid way through my divorce and from the first day I knew I was in good hands. Divorce is never easy and Katherine was always there to help me understand “legal jargon” in every day language, kept me up to date and gave me options on ...what the best next step was. She is so smart, detailed, understanding with so much patience and most important is relatable. She jumped in and helped with child concerns no matter the time- evenings, weekends etc. I would recommend Katherine and her team hands down for any divorce needs.

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.
