Disgusting behavior.

I called to possibly hire her, and was thrown off by her rude and dismissive responses. She didn’t want to take the case im assuming. And instead of just saying so she judged me, and has been harassing me in my messages. Leaving extremely nasty remarks about a case she has no knowledgeable of. I high...ly suggest you look else were for help. She has a disgusting way of handling things she doesn’t want to deal with and is very rude. Im so appalled she attacked me in my messages .

Replied last December 21, 2022

Note: this review was posted because I refused to represent someone who admitted committing elder abuse. Seniors should not have to worry about an unemployed relative attempting to steal their life savings during their last days. When your family has to sue you, and a judge orders you to leave your deceased Grandma’s house after determining that you falsified documents, you are not a client I would ever represent. (Review is based on my refusal to represent a thief who steals from the elderly. )

Kind, helpful, smart

Katie gave me great advice in helping me make decisions regarding a family member’s legal issues. She responded quickly and easily addressed all my concerns. I highly recommend her expertise!

Posted by Joyce | September 09, 2019 | Social Security Disability

Very friendly and informative

I spoke with Kathleen regarding how to apply or appeal social security she was very direct and friendly. I would definitely retain her to represent me in the future because she cares about the people.. Thanks for caring

Aggressive and effective representation.

Kathleen is the most personable and caring attorney I have ever met. She was patient, attentive and transparent throughout the entire W.C. process. My case was finalized well above my expectations. She is highly recommended. Thanks Katie.

Kind, Smart and Empathetic

I am so glad to have found Kathleen Siemont for my case. She always made me laugh, even when it didn't seem like there was anything to laugh about. She's just a really caring and nice person. Most attorneys don't take the time to really explain the process and get to know you. Five stars!
