I contacted Cathleen on behalf of my elderly parents who needed the advise of an attorney. Cathleen went out of her way to call them on a Saturday to speak with them about their options. She was kind, considerate and very professional. Her knowledge of the law as it relates to her area is exceptional. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, competent and kind attorney.
I have represented general contractors, owners, subcontractors, suppliers, sureties and others for over 25 years in construction related matters. I am also happy to review and prepare construction contracts, prepare mechanic's liens, stop notices, and bond claims. Although I prefer to keep my clients out of litigation if possible, I also represent my clients in both prosecuting and defending lawsuits involving construction matters, and am a mediator and arbitrator of construction matters. Named SuperLawyer 2010,2011 and 2012.

Very Responsive re my Mechanic's Lien Dilemma
Ms. Curl was very helpful and responsive to my initial inquiry relating to a Mechanic's Lien placed against me by a sub-contractor. She provided me some essential background on liens and then outlined several steps that would be useful in my situation. She was very knowledgeable and attentive to my situation bringing her years of construction law experience to the forefront. If I have to move forward in hiring an attorney, I would not hesitate to contract her services. Very professional.

Cathleen is Professional and Practical
Those are about the highest praise one lawyer can give about another, that they are Professional and Practical. Anyone can tell you about the lawsuit that they are going to file for you, but Cathleen sees the other way around the case, how to handle the case without involving an attorney if possible and if an attorney is required, the practical way to do that.
HIring a lawyer isn't necessarily in expensive, but when you hire a practical lawyer like Cathleen you will likely get a reasonable result with a reasonable fee.

I strongly recommend attorney Cathleen M Curl
Cathleen M Curl is the best attorney I have ever met. She impressed me the most not only she is very knowledgeable, professional, clear what she is doing, but also, which is most important, after you finish your conversation with her, when you walk out her door, you will feel certain, know where you are, what you shall do next and what will be the conclusion for your case.
I am an engineer and landlord, I had a case involving construction, contractor, sub-contractors, material suppliers and mechanic lien. It was a complicated case. Before I met Cathleen M Curl, I had communicated with several other attorneys. Those communications made me feel the case was a big mess which made me feel very discourage and worry. However, after I talked Cathleen M Curl only for one hour, I was very clear about case and the direction. When she explained the law, discussed the case and suggested the different solution options for the case to me, I could see she was very professional, knowledgeable, strong, experienced, and very sincere and nice as well.
The rate of the attorney fee that Cathleen M Curl charges is the highest among the attorneys I communicated for this case, but it is worth since she works so effectively and she is so helpful. In my case, she save me lot more than what I expect. Can you imagine that, when you try to do something emotionally, an attorney would come you down and guide you not to spend those attorney fee for emotion? Cathleen M Curl will.
Therefore, I strongly recommend attorney Cathleen M Curl.

Contractor (decks-waterproofing) vs. HOA/Client (for gross over-charge only after doing extensive DEMO so HOA was stuck.)
Ms. Curl gave no further understanding of relevant ethics, laws, where we stood relative to the contractor, despite 2 attempts to clarify the situation, just advised to consult a local attorney.

"I have never retained Cathleen as my attorney, but I have known Cathleen for many years, and believe she is a highly qualified, ethical and knowledgeable attorney on construction law matters.
I attended a seminar she presented, and her information was helpful and insightful.
We serve on a professional board together, and we have litigated matters were we were opposing counsel.
I would believe her professionalism and knowlege helped resolve the matter we had and I highly recommend her."
