Kate Elizabeth Gillespie

i hired Kate Gillespie over the phone on the recommendation of the counselor who mediated my divorce. Kate was every bit as good as that recommendation and more. She helped me handle a tricky property settlement issue by clearly spelling out my options and letting me decide the best course of action.... We were able to close the case satisfactorily without going to court or even back to the mediation table, which kept my legal expenses to a minimum. Kate stayed responsive, focused and professional throughout. I wouldn't hesitate to hire her again.

My request to divorce occurred within a heated domestic situation. After removing myself from the immediate danger I called my sister. My sister is an attorney but does not practice family law and she selected Kate through her reputation and colleague recommendations. Together we called Kate and s...he walked us through all of our next steps. I had no idea what to do and neither did my sister, parents, nor friends. Family and friends are essential for support, but they are not equipped for the legal complexities and unpredictability of divorce. Kate was direct and confident in what specifically needed to be done to secure my safety and initiate my legal footing. My whole life was uprooted during this time and I needed someone who was prepared to handle all of the legal matters and emotional distress associated with the splitting of a 19 year relationship. Processing the emotional toll, dealing with the uncertainty of the future, all while continuing to work was overwhelming. I couldn’t comprehend the actions taken against me. Kate dealt with the threats, random demands, and protected me financially, legally, and emotionally. My trust and confidence in her got me through this crisis

After consulting/interviewing many, many, many attorneys I feel confident that I have chosen both the right attorney and law firm to represent me in my Custody and Visitation case. Based off of phone conversations; Kate comes off as a professional, articulate and an extensively knowledgeable attorne...y. Kate was named as Los Angeles Magazine “Top Attorney Rising Star 2014” and conversing with her you’ll know why. Kate immediately understood both my child’s needs and my goals as a father. I have an uncommon work schedule that ultimately affects my visitation schedule and Kate is ready to take on this challenge. She left me feeling reassured that investing in her and “The Bloom Law Firm” is truly my best recourse to achieve my parental goals. I will post an updated review once the legal process is concluded.

If you are looking for an honest, ethical and amazing attorney, then look no further. My husband and I hired Kate for a dispute with our neighbor. I have never dealt with an attorney like Kate who was so helpful, honest and upfront. I was extremely impressed at how she was always one step ahead of us..., very communicative (by email and phone) and kept us abreast of what was happening every step of the way. There were no surprises, even when it came to fees (which we really appreciated). Additionally, her fees are very reasonable for the type of high quality service she offers. In the end we received exactly the outcome with our case that we desire. We would HIGHLY recommend Kate Gillespie for any legal situation.
