Condescending and ineffective

I hired Katherine based on these avvo reviews unfortunately, my experience with her was nothing like the others. She completely butchered my case and now having exhausted all appeals I am starting over with a different attorney… who told me that she butchered my case. Not only that, but during the ma...ny years I worked with her she was often condescending, cold, and short - like she blamed me every time we would lose. She is clearly burned out and needs to move onto a different area of law where she can be of actual service to her clients. She is shady and had her yelp page removed because it contained negative reviews.

I am so sorry that this individual had this experience. Unfortunately, as they did not reach out to me directly and posted anonymously, I have no idea who this person is or why they would feel this way. I have never had a client who "exhausted all appeals" as I routinely represent clients all the way through federal court. I'm sorry that they had me represent them for "many years" if they felt this way. I hope that whoever posted this will show me the courtesy of reaching out directly so that I can learn from any mistakes I made in their case. I try my best, but I'm not perfect. I am open to constructive feedback from clients and take complaints very seriously. I am happy this individual seems to have found a better fit with a new attorney. Also, I have never had a Yelp page and do not know if it is even possible to take one down because of negative reviews- I would think not.

Katherine and her team are exceptional. She never gave up after two appeals, she continue with my SSD case and finally we won. I recommend Katharine Siegfried for anyone. Excellent Attorney.

great experience

This attorney was kind and knowledgeable. She was able to provide me with a lot of help. Based on my experience with her office, I do recommend her to anyone, who needs help with social security and Disability.

The Best SSA Attorney

No doubt about her expertise when it comes to Social Security Disabilty or SSI denied claims. She did it right the first time. Thank you very much Atty Siegfried for helping Ralf.
