About Katerina
Biography
It took blood, sweat and tears of our predecessors to create a safe place for us, the Courts, where we truly really ARE and MUST BE ALL EQUAL. Otherwise, all the efforts to make all men and WOMEN EQUAL a REALITY are mere idle acts. It takes only a corrupt few to take the safety of our Courts away. If we lose this, the death of hope will follow. And, hope dies last! #COURTINTEGRITYFIRST #FREEBRITNEY -Katerina
In the Summer of 2021, I was privileged to be part of a "Hummingbird" moment. As Harper Lee said: "The one thing that doesn't abide by majority rule is a person's conscience. Real courage is when you know you are licked before you begin but you begin anyway and see it through no matter what." By grace of God, I saw it through. God bless you!

Repeated Client
I've been a client of Ms. Perreault in two cases--probate and civil. With her expertise and passion to fight for justice I’ve accomplished more in a shorter period of time than with my previous two lawyers. Hopefully, I won’t need legal services anymore but if I do I feel safe to have Ms. Perreault o...

Ms. Perreault is highly knowledgeable and informative in the areas of Conservatorships, Estates and Trusts. She helped me to understand all the legal matters concerning my elderly parents, their assets and transfers to different trusts. Extremely helpful.
