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!!!

Simply Outstanding

Katherine Obando is an outstanding, dedicated, wicked-smart divorce lawyer. She worked as Associate Counsel with Leslie Bollier as Lead Counsel on my high conflict divorce/child custody case. Her preparation, diligence, masterful depositions, and teamwork with my lead counsel and legal team helped us... prevail in a 9-day family law jury trial in Travis County. I can't thank Katherine enough for her belief in family values, her compassion, and her counsel in times of extraordinary adversity. I strongly recommend Katherine.

Fabulous Attorney, Genuine and Wonderful Person

I found myself in an unfortunate family law situation with a unique set of facts and not a lot of legal precedent on some of the issues. Katherine Obando represented me well in this. Throughout Katherine’s representation she was highly capable, involved, and very responsive as she vigorously work...ed to represent me and for my child’s best interests. It is rarely a comfortable scenario when you need to hire an attorney and engage in litigation but I know enough to know that you need the right one by your side. It is so important to have someone that explains the process in a way that you can understand and is measured enough to review possible outcomes with you and chances of success for your specific case facts. Katherine was able to guide me in a professional and kind manner while being realistic with me along the way. I appreciated that Katherine was always highly responsive. She even responded to emergencies and extraordinary events and took the time to really learn every aspect and detail of a complicated case. This was extraordinarily valuable in hearings where Katherine was able to fully advocate and represent me based on her significant knowledge and understanding. Katherine is both affable and assertive. She commands respect and has an impeccable appearance presenting well while conferring with opposing counsel, in mediation, court, and all areas. I have been pleased to get to know Katherine and be represented by her. She has done so much for our family and we will always be grateful to her.

Incredible Experience

I retained Evans Family Law Firm to help me through a custody modification. I knew I was going in asking for the impossible and that the other side would make the process as difficult as possible. Katherine Obando immediately picked up my case and went to work while keeping me informed every step o...f the way. She was firm but reasonable and took a pragmatic approach to my case. Katherine was able to calm my nerves during depositions and hearings, always adequately preparing me for what to expect. There were no strangers to her in the process, from court clerks, to opposing counsel, to Judges. Katherine is an attorney who truly cares, still checking in on my family long after our case was complete. To say that Katherine got my girls and I everything we were asking for would be an understatement. We walked away with a ruling in our favor and then some….all in the best interest of my children. I would highly recommend Katherine Obando and the entire Evans Family Law Firm if you’re looking for an honest, reliable, and overall genuine group of people who truly care about the client and the best interest of the children.

Young, intelligent, and fierce

I was taking to court by the father of my child completely out of the blue, he was fighting for primary conservatorship. As, you know being a mother my emotions were everywhere. Katherine held it all together, continues to think strategically throughout the whole process. You want someone who will fi...ght for you, be passionate Katherine is who you hire.
