Hands Down The Best

Katherine is one of the best attorney’s in Austin.. Katherine is very responsive and reliable. She made my case a breeze when I did not understand certain things. I would highly recommend Katherine as anyone’s attorney. Thank you Katherine for everything you made happen for me..

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.

Genuine and professional!

Katherine recently stepped in to take over my case and couldn’t be happier with how helpful she was. She was always available to help go through any questions I had over paperwork and always gave me her honest opinion. It was wonderful to have her guide me through the final steps and couldn’t have do...ne it without her.

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.
