She won my case; amazing team
Katherine is an exceptional attorney. Her staff is just as focused, driven and personable as she. (Jacob especially) Calls are returned, sessions are scheduled, and she is superb in crafting briefings to the judge which lays the groundwork for the disability claim. I came to her after I was with anot...

Best practice
There is not enough room here to share all my gratitude for the amazing legal team at this attorney's practice. They are LGBTQA+ friendly (correct pronouns!).

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...
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.
