Empowering Lady

Kathleen Coble not only represented me in my divorce and kicked butt, might I add, she empowered me every time we met. Kathleen not only knows the ins and outs of family law, but she also has a wealth of knowledge in the accounting, which I had no knowledge of at all. Upon meeting Kathleen, you can f...eel her energy, her strength and confidence. She definitely can back it up!!! She also has a very kind and compassionate side that allowed me to cry when I needed to because there were times I did! I felt confident for once in a very long time that someone had my back. Kathleen did!!! I am forever grateful.

Excellent Attorney Who Cares

Kathleen was recommended to me by a friend who worked with her in a child custody battle with his ex-wife. I took his recommendation, and I have been a client of Kathleen's for two years now. She helped me navigate through a drama-filled divorce, and she has also helped me through an extremely high-c...onflict child custody litigation with my ex-wife. Kathleen is a no-nonsense person who has helped me make sense of what is going on and helps me figure out what my next steps should be. When my ex-wife's emotional and psychological instability causes problems for me (or my children), Kathleen makes herself available to help me handle the problem promptly. Her advice has consistently turned out to be excellent and has set me (and my children) up for the best possible outcomes. But I think my favorite thing about Kathleen is the fact that it's more than just a job for her - it's her passion. I know that she represents me to the fullest of her ability because I know that she cares about me and my children. I can't recommend her more highly.
