Postnuptial agreement

Katie helped me for my postnuptial agreement as the reviewing attorney. Throughout the process she was empathetic, thorough and always considered my preferences while informing me of the current law and advising me accordingly. What impressed me was her attitude towards her practice, which she consid...ers as a sacred practice and that reflects in her communication and her work. I highly recommend her, thanks Katie!

Bloom

I met with Katie on a consult and she referred me to a call league in San Francisco. That might be able to help me. Her call league also gave me some good advice, but could not help me, because the attorney I would need to contact for my particular problem I needed to go to Portland Oregon, neither ...of them charged me for their advice. I sincerely appreciated the advice they gave me. Peggy Heneks I do know of other people that Katie has helped in the community and she is very knowledgeable and I would highly recommend her for you or your family’s needs

Amazing Attorney Drafted Our Prenup

I hired Katie to draft our prenuptial agreement. I could not be happier with the result! This was absolutely the best decision we could have made for our prenup. Katie is an amazing attorney and a delight to work with. She really listened to my questions and concerns. Katie thoroughly explained the r...elevant law and my various options. She listened without judgment and provided me with great advice whenever I was unsure. Our wedding date was thrown into chaos because of COVID but Katie was right there with us the whole time making me feel confident everything was being handled. I strongly recommend and her firm for any of your family law needs!

Excellent Attorney!

I had to divorce another party who had a personality disorder and made the divorce process incredibly difficult. She was able to navigate this territory very well and advised me when to act and when to let things go. In the end, I was able to get a fair settlement despite the difficulties with the o...ther party.

Can't recommend a better attorney

Katie was incredibly helpful during my divorce. She was straightforward with me, and always helpful in explaining family law when needed. She was professional, friendly, very smart and a nice person in general. I have already recommended her services to two other friends.

"Katie is a fantastic family law attorney! She is knowledgeable, patient, and reasonable. I believe that one of the reasons we're able to work so well together is that she doesn't play games - she understands the financial and emotional impact that family law litigation can have on clients and she's mindful of the incredible costs that our clients undertake. Katie is a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend her for your family law needs."

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I went against Ms. Padilla in a family law matter in Hayward court. She represented the man and our law firm represented the woman. The case went on for a few months with multiple hearings and eventually settled as a result of Ms. Padilla's expertise. Ms. Padilla was professional, always prepared, and focused on getting her client the best result. I also worked with Ms. Padilla in another matter with a different client and again, she was diligent about her representation. I endorse this attorney."
