Kathleen Bakergumprecht-Davies

Staff is awesome and lets me ramble on about however im feeling without rushing me off the phone. I hired Kathleen almost a 5 months ago, and so far the process has been up and down (Due to My Ex and his attorney). But Kathleen has helped out tremendously to make sure that I can cope with changes in ...the custody agreement and different visitation plans consistently evolving. I am in the military and so is my ex so nothing is ever the same. But Kathleen was productive in providing me, my ex, and his attorney with an alternative visitation schedule. It helped to have someone who was experienced unlike my ex's attorney. She was sort of ditsy and argumentative. But at the end Kathleen wrapped it all up in a office settlement conference and we were all good to go!

I hired Kathleen almost four months ago, she prepared a letter to my ex stating that I had retained her and proposed a new stipulation for child custody and visitation. Although I was not sure if my ex would agree, Kathleen made it easy for him to call in and propose his concerns with what the docume...nt proposed. After talking to me about his issues I actually did not mind his minor changes that he wanted, I thought this process was going to be long and drawn out. But Kathleen was able to resolve our issues amicably. It was nice for a change to have someone to mediate things. Overall she and her staff answered a lot of my questions and I was pleased.

I hired Kathleen for my child custody case at the beginning of this year, she heard my issues and addressed all of my concerns. Surprisingly she took a mellow approach to getting everything I asked for and was able to actually get me and my ex to have better communication through co parenting. It was... like getting two services for the price of one... My first thought of attorneys and court were what I seen on television, but Kathleen explained the differences between reality, what I see on television, the Internet or hear say. It was nice to just have my questions answered even if it wasn't what I wanted to hear, it was the truth. In the end I was very pleased. Also her staff always was really nice and offered snacks everytime I came into the office. Lol I can never turn down cookies!

Kathleen was a great attorney during my case! I was stuck in New York with my kids with jurisdiction in Cali... In no time I was on my way back with my kids away from an abusive ex husband! At one point in time, my ex had taken and disappeared with my kids. She took this extremely serious and gave me... her cell number in case an actual emergency happened again!

Worst. Attorney. Ever. She made several mistakes in my case and dragged it on for two years without any resolution. I was double-billed for time that her paralegal, Bear, consulted with her (which was often) and the bill was ridiculously high, without any results to show for it. I did not feel she a...dvocated for my case whatsoever. She is continually 'on vacation' in Washington at her vacation home. She does not take phone calls but requires you to make an appointment to speak with her which results in higher fees. Dealing with her was a complete nightmare! Ultimately, I fired her, retained a different attorney, and my case was resolved within months due to the work of the new attorney (who had to undo some of the problems created by Kathleen.) My advice: DO NOT RETAIN KATHLEEN BAKERGUMPRECT-DAVIES.
