Tough As Nails

Kathleen is an incredibly sensible, skilled, and practiced attorney with years of experience. The most striking qualities from her representation were her dedication to my case, it felt like I was her only case any time we spoke; her ferocity against unreasonable requests (mine or the prosecution); t...he enormous previous experience she brought to my case after years of working other cases both locally to my case and elsewhere in the nation. Never had I felt personally cared for in my previous legal experience with other attorneys. I hired her as my representation for my 3rd DUI in Idaho, which is considered a felony. She advocated I attend in-patient treatment and to have an alcohol-detection device after treatment completion until sentencing rather than waiting in jail, which I did. Afterwards, she encouraged me to attend AA and strictly follow the conditions of my pre-sentence release so when sentencing arrived I was able to avoid spending time in prison and receive a period of felony probation instead. After completing probation she helped me research and reach out to international entities to search for potential restrictions as my job requires international travel. Never during our professional relationship did I think she may not be "doing enough" or not have my best interests in mind. I have endless glowing remarks for her professionalism and attention.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
