About Kathrine
Biography
In 2015, I relocated to Boulder, Colorado, from the San Francisco Bay Area where I practiced as a family law litigator for 5+ years.
I am certified to practice law in the State of California, and I am currently awaiting my Bar results to begin my practice in Colorado.
I represent California divorce clients as a consulting attorney, and remotely as the attorney of record, with the ability to travel to California for any Court appearances or in-person meetings.
I plan to open up a Family Law practice in Boulder, Colorado, in November 2016.
I specialize in high asset divorce cases, involving estates in the millions of dollars. I am well versed in complex property division issues, including, but not limited to: business valuations, characterization issues and reimbursement claims for businesses, real estate, bank accounts, and retirement accounts, and characterization and valuation of stock options, RSUs, and ESPP.
Most of my cases also involve child custody issues, as well as child and spousal support aspects.
I have extensive experience working with private judges, mediators, forensic accountants, and child custody experts.
