There are much better attorneys out there

I finally had to find another attorney aligned more with my morals and ethics. She is highly litigious for no reason and omitted essential information that made me look bad in the eyes of the court when my ex filed their response. I looked like a liar because she decided not to include information. I... understand things get tense, but it hurt me. I wouldn't use her or her firm and tell everyone I know to find someone else. I questioned how well she knew the law as well as it seemed that we got schooled a few times on the law. I had to go to another firm that I felt was more capable.

Fantastic Attorney that won my case and I would highly recommend

I hired Catherine after my original attorney and I parted ways. I was in the middle of dealing with a motion on a modification of maintenance initiated by my ex-husband. I needed Catherine to represent me after a failed mediation and an upcoming court date that had already been set. Catherine was ...able to take over with less than a month to prepare and ultimately won my case at trial. She was absolutely fabulous every step of the way. Her knowledge of case law, experience, professionalism and demeanor was exactly what I needed. I would absolutely recommend her and wish I had her from the beginning.

there are better attorneys for less money out there

Extremely poor communication levels in general. Seemingly had a general disinterest in the case or making efforts to further it proactively or offensively. A waste of money on my part.

Best Attorney in Colorado

At a time when I felt completely blindsided and helpless Catherine was there. It is hard to put into words how horrible a seperation can me much less with a child or children involved. Catherine is extremely experienced and took time to not only address the legal issues at hand but she took the tim...e to counsel me as well. I often reference Catherine still even though I live in a different State now. I tell people that she was able to expertly assess the situation and calmly handle not only the terrible situation but she was able to predict issues and "handle" situations before they arose. Catherine has a resume that will not only prove her talent but will help you walk through this terrible time in your life with your head held high, knowing that she will advocate 100% for you. She truly is an expert in family law and will handle the situation with delicate yet strong hands. Catherine is well respected in the legal community and it shows. If you are looking for an expert with talent and heart. Catherine is your lawyer. She forever changed my terrible situation into something I will forever cherish, my life was given back to me and I am able to move forward with my child.

In good hands

I came to Catherine when I really needed a good lawyer to help me. Not only did Catherine help me achieve my goals in what was going on in my personal life. I also grew along the way. At times we would butt heads but I realized it was her just looking out for my best interest and me being stuborn. I... feel that I have one of the best attorneys. I have the utmost respect for her and I totally trust her judgement based on the past wonderful outcome of my case. She is one tough lady but also has a very tender and caring heart. She displays both of these attributes at the appropriate times. I feel very safe and I feel that she always has my best interest at heart. I never question her abilities or her decisions as she is also a very good listener and a good advocate for my position. Also she listens and takes into consideration my ideas and we work very well together. She goes above and beyond her call of duty and always checks in with me to make sure I am doing well and to make sure I am doing what I am supposed to be doing. She is a women of integretigy and her ethics go hand in hand with who Catherine is.
