Kathryn Nelson

Ms. Nelson was a replacement for my attorney who went on maternity leave. To be fair to Ms. Nelson, she came in during the last 6 weeks of my case, however she was also going through her own divorce and she was clearly more concerned about her own situation to pay attention to mine. Due to her not ...proof-reading her own documents submitted to the court, she cost me thousands of dollars. i would never recommend her.

Kathy is an attorney that does not fit the stereotype that many hold re attorneys. First of all, she is understanding, supportive and will give her all and never give up on you and your loved ones. I am going through a divorce after a very long marriage and she has been nothing but supportive. She... also has been attentive to my budget since my husband (almost-ex!) makes significantly more than I. She is very clear from the get-go that she will stop at nothing. (If you want a laugh, when I called their office last summer in search of a great attorney, the woman who answered the phone and listened to me sob, said, "I have the perfect attorney for you here. We call her The Beast.") I hasten to add what the support person was implying is that she shirks at nothing and works unflinchingly. In no way, is Ms. Nelson lacking in people skills or aggressive in a nasty way; she is simply devoted to helping families. I also think it's important to note the opposing counsel in this case has actually snickered and acted condescendingly both in and out of court. I have been insulted and appalled by this person's seeming lack of professionalism. Even when this person acted in the aforementioned way, Ms. Nelson never lost her footing in the trial. I had never seen an attorney except for making a will before. I did not know what to expect but I certainly didn't expect a kind, sensitive and really strong woman who buoys me and reminds me of the long term goals. It has been an expensive process but I highly recommend her. Think of it this way--you can hire any old attorney for a song or spend more knowing that the cash outlay will pay long-term dividends.
