Great listener and very Fair in her Judgment

I want to thank Ms. Beck for her outstanding services as our PC/DM. After 8 years of constant bickering and one-sided custody arrangements, we finally feel that someone listened and was able to judge on the evidence provided to come up with fair and reasonable decisions. You have been a life saver fo...r us and we sincerely appreciate your efforts!

Remarkable Attorney

Kathryn Beck is an exceptional Family Law attorney. She has represented my family through two very high conflict cases. Her knowledge of the law is remarkable. She is also a highly respected CFI. Kathryn’s expertise in both of these areas give her a unique and unparalleled advantage when advising h...er clients and negotiating on their behalf. Not only is Kathryn compassionate and empathetic, she is pragmatic. Her knowledge and extensive experience are beneficial as she guides her clients to realistic expectations from the court, We have been grateful to have Kathryn working by our sides each step of the way!

The Best

Kathryn has done an amazing job at helping me navigate through a very high-conflict, ongoing, toxic co-parenting situation; while always keeping my son’s best interests first and foremost. Kathryn is beyond knowledgeable in every area of Family Law and is very much respected by the Court. She is comp...assionate, honest, experienced, empathetic, and professional. When working with opposing counsel, Kathryn always remains respectful and professional and would steer the conversation back to getting a resolution, rather than engaging in their sometimes dishonorable behavior. Knowing I have Kathryn on my side, as my lawyer, puts my mind as ease while navigating through these rough waters. I highly recommend her for your Family Law needs.

Outstanding PCDM

Kathryn has been a fantastic PCDM in the face of some very trying circumstances in my divorce. I'd recommend her to anyone who wants an unbiased, fair and resolution-focused PCDM.

Excellence

Kathryn is trusted advisor. She has guided and lawyered a difficult child visitation arrangement with an ex-spouse and two divorces. At the forefront, Kathryn negotiates agreements with comprehensive knowledge of the law and the best interests of my family. Always prepared, professional, and empat...hetic during the path toward resolution of these family matters. Her paralegal is top notch. I am grateful for her guidance and services. Five Stars

"I have had professional experience with Ms. Beck in multiple roles, including as a family law attorney, mediator, Child and Family Investigator (CFI), and Parenting Coordinator/Decision Maker (PC/DM). Ms. Beck is extremely experienced and knowledgeable in complex family law issues including high conflict parents and high asset/complex marital estates. She is my go-to mediator for complex family law cases and has an extremely high success rate. Even when everyone thinks there is no way a settlement could happen, Ms. Beck can get it done. Additionally, Ms. Beck is an extremely effective PC/DM who is responsive and can issue quick and fair decisions. Ms. Beck is also a thorough and very experienced CFI who you can trust will make recommendations in the children’s best interests."

"I endorse this lawyer as an exceptional Child and Family Investigator (CFI). She was recently appointed by agreement of the attorneys for both parties in a contested custody case with long-term and complex issues which created serious endangerment for 3 children. Ms. Beck worked long and hard to evaluate the issues and make recommendations for the best interests of the children. The court stated that her Report was one of the very best he had ever seen."
