Horrible Experience
After almost a year and close to 10k in fees this attorney refused to help me because I tried to contact my ex who essentially proposed more than what this attorney got me from the divorce. I would never hire this attorney and I hope others don't go through what she put my family through. She only ca...

Great Attorney and Cares
Kathryn has helped me with a few issues now. She really cares about me and my children. She is passionate, caring and will always tell me the truth and not sugar coat anything. She is not a lawyer who cares about money. She is not concerned about billable hours. She is concerned about her clients and...

Not Just Abele, VERY ABLE
Kathryn represented me and most importantly my son for continued child support. It was a very nasty divorce and horribly contested case by my ex. Kathryn is so very knowledgeable about the law and what needs to be done. She is incredibly quick thinking and well prepared in the court room. She kno...

RETURN ON INVESTMENT
Three previous lawyers could not fix my problem. Kathryn saved me nearly $70,000 in overcharges I'd be stuck paying to my "ex"...probably until my death. It still cost money, but the ROI is in the black, not red. Kathryn has an unusual style that takes some getting used too, but all in all, she...

Dropped Me Like a Rock
Ms. Abele represented me in a legal separation, and was generally pretty unresponsive and overall not very helpful throughout that process. Then when the trial separation date ended, I emailed Ms. Abele to let her know that my spouse and an I were going to continue to work on our relationship through...
"I have worked on 2-3 cases where Kathryn was the opposing counsel. Unlike other attorneys I have worked with, she has always been honest in her dealings with me. Kathryn is very passionate and a great advocate for her clients. It's not just about "winning" with her. I recently learned that Kathryn has been suspended from the practice of law for allegedly being untruthful about an incident where she claims a police officer tripped her. First and foremost, I do not believe Kathryn was being untruthful. Second, when she is able to practice law again, I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending clients to her."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Kathryn for a few years and she carries herself in the most professional manner possible, and fights very hard for her clients. I would refer her a case without hesitation."
"Kathryn is an excellent attorney with the highest standard for professional ethics. I have opposed Kathryn on numerous cases over the years and I have always found her to be one of the easiest attorneys to work with. Kathryn is agreesive while at the same time always being fair. I highly endorse Kathryn, she is an outstanding family law attorney."
"I've faced Kathy as opposing counsel on multiple occasions. She advocates with passion in the courtroom. But she can also be surprisingly facilitative of settlement. I recommend Kathy."
"I endorse this lawyer. Kathryn is an extremely aggressive advocate for her clients. She took over a very, very difficult case over from me, took it to the Court of Appeals and won and made law that is referred to in most temporary relocation cases every day throughout Washington State. Kathryn will fight to the very end for each and every one of her clients."
"Kathryn is an attorney that demonstrates an unquestionable commitment to her clients. In advocating vigorously for their rights, she ensures both competent and compassionate representation."
