A brilliant and strategic legal advocate when it matters most - Worth every penny and then some

I’ll begin by saying that this review does not do justice in relaying how exceptional Katherine is. In selecting Coldwell Bowes to represent me in my highly contentious divorce, I was gifted the opportunity to work with Katherine throughout my entire case. Her five star reviews don’t lie - she is han...ds down simply phenomenal in every way. Katherine is smart as a whip and is an exceptionally skilled legal expert. Her advocacy and dedication to her clients in order to achieve the best possible outcome for them is unparalleled. She has a very strong understanding of family law and how to navigate the most difficult of cases, including ones that end up in court and at trial. It was a highly emotional process for me but Katherine remained laser focused on the big picture while also offering compassion and understanding. She upholds the absolute highest standards when it comes to advocating for her clients and in communicating throughout the entire case. She handled my anal retentive persona with total grace and ease and is meticulous in everything she does. Katherine was an integral part of securing the very best possible outcome for me and I am forever grateful and indebted to her for her efforts and unwavering support and guidance during this most difficult time in my life. Bottom line: you want Katherine representing you and in your corner - she’s worth every penny and more!

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.
