Diligent, Competent and Caring - Money well spent

After my son was lost in Humboldt's court system for more than 18 months and declared incompetent to stand trial after a 15 minute virtual on-line interview, I knew that without his own attorney would have no representation. His Public Defender had spent less than 15 minutes with him in the last 18 ...months. He never returned my phone calls or emails as they have too high a caseload to provide adequate representation and are under-funded. From the moment I stepped into Kathleen's office she took an interest in listening and helping. Her staff are all extremely capable and most of all available to their clients and their families. She worked hard to negotiate the best possible outcome for my son. And now he has his life back. Without Kathleen's involvement this would have not been possible. If you want any attorney who will move mountains to bring resolution to your case, consider hiring Kathleen. You will be glad you did.

Great attorney!

Kathleen was hired for a case where the defendant was actually innocent and she got the best possible outcome. It was because of her hard work, thorough investigation skills and important relationships that the case was dismissed. I would recommend her to anyone, and her price was very competitive. ...

Professional and effective

I have hired Kathleen for 3 different issues. Her and her team are helpful, kind and efficient. She is well respected in the legal community and has the connections and knowledge to reduce sentencing. She is a great representative and an excellent advocate for her clients. Hopefully you don’t need a ...lawyer- but if you do- I highly recommend Kathleen.

Wonderful team.

Her and her team are very helpful, and informative. I had never dealt with any legal issues before, they helped me understand and navigate my way through these hard times. As well as getting all my charges dropped. Would 10/10 recommend her and her team to anyone.

I couldn't have asked for a better outcome!

Kathleen and her office helped me with my second DUI and I am forever in their debt! Not only was she able to get the court to lessen the charge to a Wet and Reckless, she brought in a specialist to help with the DMV and we won! I couldn't have asked for a better outcome, and I will be forever grat...eful for her, and her team.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
