parenting time

Before my ex and I split up he had threatened to take me to court for custody of our child and he had told me that he had an attorney. When we finally separated for good I wanted to make sure that I was not going into a custody battle unprepared. I met with Katherine the Monday after the break up and... went into the office hysterical. She was able to calm me down and get me thinking logically again. She discussed a few outcomes of similar cases she has seen as well as let me know how she thought my case could turn out. I ended up hiring her and started the process for parenting time shortly after that. She was really good with not running the bill up with unnecessary phone calls and emails. She also would prep me for the couple of hearings that we had. The whole thing ended up being much easier that I initially anticipated. After everything was said and done she gave me a few tips to take with me in the event that my ex and I stopped being cordial. Katherine took care of everything and made my life much easier through the whole case. I am very happy I hired her.

Katherine is phenomenal

I needed someone experienced and able to dive into my divorce/civil union case ASAP. Katherine was not only comforting and offered immediate advice, but she was willing to go through everything quickly and help me by attending mediation with me that same week. Katherine was incredibly responsive ...and walked me through the process as it unfolded and in advance of anything happening; I never felt unprepared or blindsided. I was going to represent myself until the end of my case, but needed help mid-way through, and I am so glad I hired Katherine. She was a lifesaver. I highly recommend Katherine to anyone seeking short-term/unbundled services or someone to represent them from onset. She was professional, understanding, direct and personable. She has my highest recommendation.

filed paperwork ok

Katherine was my attorney and the outcome was mediocre. Seemed more interested in pleasing the mediator and opposing counsel, not advocating on my behalf.

Family lawyer | Jun 17

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Katherine is an extremely talented family law attorney. She has an ability to settle cases that didn't have a high likelihood of settlement. She does this with a reasonable position supported by Colorado precedent and a full understanding of her clients' needs. She also offers unbundled legal services, if you're looking for an attorney to only help on certain parts of your case. I endorse this attorney."

  • 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.
