Not helpful for high-conflict divorce

I hired Kathryn Goff in summer 2020 for a divorce. She failed to appreciate the nuances of high-conflict divorce or protect me from the nasty and hurtful things my now ex-spouse said to me and my family members during the divorce. I received the first draft of my sworn financial statement back with ...arithmetic errors. It's not my job to check math. Her firm did not use any technology to manage financial data, which is a problem when Colorado's no-fault divorces hinge upon properly tallying up financial disclosures. She blew through half of the retainer before I changed counsel.

Phenomenal Family Law Attorney

Attorney Katie Goff is phenomenal! She’s educated, punctual, caring; yet authoritative. I was between a rock and a hard spot when she agreed to take on my messy case. She completed more work in one week than my previous attorney had accomplished in six months. I appreciate everything she and her staf...f accomplished for me, and will forever be indebted.

Huge Disappointment

I hired Katie based off of a Legal Shield referral. I was able to get a discount on the total retainer fee for my child custody case. She was able to make her fees back by charging for every single email to include the ones I asked her to stop corresponding with from my ex-husband. She was ill prepar...ed and even spelled my daughter's name wrong initially on a motion. I felt as though I was working harder than she was. I had just had a new baby and she continuously asked me for more paperwork and for information in separate emails (of which she charged me for each follow up). She was argumentative with me and she also knew that I was lower income on my military pay, but continued to charge me even after I fired her because I asked a question. She did absolutely nothing for me in my case aside from taught me a very expensive lesson on shopping around for lawyers who are sincerely compassionate about their client's heartaches. I'm a victim of domestic violence and I felt revictimized by her lack of empathy and by the dollar amount that was attached to every millisecond of her time.

Legal Shield Referral

Mrs. Goff reviewed my case and took the time to explain to me IN DETAIL what my options were, instructions for going forward and transparently advised my likelihood of success. Since the likelihood was not good, she in essence advised against hiring her. What attorney, especially in family matters,... would do that?!?! My past experience with attorneys was cold, uncaring and aimed at benefiting their finances over all else. I have the utmost respect for Mrs. Goff and HIGHLY recommend her.

Shop around before making a decision

Katie was recommended to me by a friend. She was very open to speak over the phone about my case before I even retained her. However, I do not feel as though she represented me to the best of her ability. She missed some major aspects in my case, in which she had to compensate me for. She also seemed... to not want to go to trial for my case, even though I wanted to fight all the way. I would recommend shopping around for attorneys before making a decision.
