Katherine Avalon Winkley

Katherine helped me with my divorce. She addressed all areas and kept things realistic on what I could legally do. She took the time to clearly and professionally explaine things. She was supportive on the phone calming me down and explaining the process of things. She remained respectful and courteo...us when the other party was rude to her. Highly recommend her.

She ignored evidence, , did not bring to the judge's attention key facts in my divorce case that cost me over 16,000 . Did not cross examine ,ask or present any prior court documents of testimony of guilt and hearings from the divorce that was done before she got hired ... Even though it would have ...been keep evidence that I was being verbally, emotionally and mentally abused. Gaslighting tactics and financial abuse was all present and up for grabs she was just to lazy and to busy telling me that the judge is not going to care he has made up his mind and if you don't do what he wants does not matter what I say or do you will loose. No visitation since the divorce or FaceTime... He won't even let me talk to my children.... Allowed a cluster of week "evidence" to be used as proof! Did not bring up one issue I requested . I didn't even get my service dog awarded my actual trained service dog ! Just let ex-husband request and did not mention it was even a service dog for my disability. It was the worst case of incompetent representation because of her own opinion that she should be ashamed and disbarred

Everything I told Katherine was pretty much in one ear and out the other. Maybe she had more pressing things going on but for the few thousand dollars I gave her, I didn't feel it was money well spent. I wanted a very detailed court order so there was no confusion. I ended up getting a very generic d...own the middle final orders that had vauge, figure it out yourself orders. I paid this attorney to make my court orders more specific because the Mother was unagreeable. I feel she was almost more sympathetic to the respondent than to me, the one paying her. Not even a mention of attorneys fees at the end. I would probably save my money next time and do it alone. I am pretty sure I could have gotten the same results without the extra money spent.

If you are on the fence as to weather or not to hire an attorney please do. Prior to hiring Kathrine to represent us in family court things seemed so unsure. It was like we were not being heard. Kathrine started representing us and I immediately knew we made the right choice. Both in and out of cour...t she asked all the right questions. She moved quickly, finding and submitting all evidence in our case. We now have custody and my Husband got everything he asked for in court.
