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!

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.

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.
