Katherine Cravath Thornton

I cannot recommend Katherine highly enough. She represented me through an extremely stressful probate and trust litigation that lasted nearly a year. From our very first meeting, she was honest, knowledgeable, strategic, and always took the time to explain the legal process in terms I could unders...tand. She kept me informed throughout the case and was always prepared. The petition against me sought serious remedies, including my removal as trustee, recovery of trust assets, double damages, and payment of the petitioner's attorney's fees. Katherine explained that if every claim being asserted were somehow successful, my potential financial exposure could be in the millions of dollars. Instead of reacting emotionally, Katherine focused on the facts, the law, and building a strong defense. As the case progressed through pleadings, extensive document production, and discovery, she remained confident in our position and expertly guided me through every stage of the litigation. The case ultimately settled before the court-ordered mediation for $7,000 and the transfer of a burial plot, with no admission of liability, after the petitioner initially sought dramatically greater relief. The lawsuit was then dismissed with prejudice, bringing the matter to a permanent close. Katherine is exceptionally knowledgeable in probate and trust litigation, an outstanding communicator, and someone who inspires confidence during an incredibly difficult time. She is ethical, professional, meticulous, and genuinely committed to protecting her clients' interests. If you are looking for an attorney who is intelligent, strategic, and willing to fight for you while also giving practical, honest advice, I wholeheartedly recommend Katherine. I will always be grateful for her representation and the outcome she achieved for me.
