Kathryn B Abele

Kathryn took on our case very last minute when nobody else would. We were set for trial in less than three weeks. She was not only able to get our trial continued to a later date but she was also able to settle our case out of court, saving us thousands of dollars. Kathryn was always available when w...e needed her and attentive to our needs and requests. She truly is a firecracker in the courtroom. Something you want when you have to fight for your children. We appreciate everything she did for our family very much. Thank you Kathryn... Go Hawks

When I first hired her I thought she would help me get more time with my daughter's. That is not the case. She made it ten times worse. Then when I had issues getting the money to her, she dropped me like a rock. I was not surprised at all when I heard she was disciplined. Now I am still fighting for... my kids two years after hiring her. I would not recommend her to anyone.

Attorney often get a bad name, and after having 5 attorneys in my custody case, I can understand why. I have had a few good attorneys and some very terrible attorney's, but Kathryn Abele is simply the best. She knows law like none other. She is a real person. Some people can't handle authentic genui...ne people and she may rub some the wrong way, but she will go to battle for you and get results. She bills in an honest manner, and I will be eternally grateful to her. She got me custody of my son, and I will forever be indebted to her for that. She was always there for me, and always backed me up. If you want an honest attorney that will stand up for your rights as a parent, then she is the one. Thank you Kathryn for all you did for me. You are a good, honest lady, and a great attorney.

I hired Kathryn to help me deal with custody issues that turned very ugly. My ex is one of those high conflict individuals that creates conflict where none exists. He may even qualify as having a PD (personality disorder) like BPD or NPD (as described in the book "Splitting" by Bill Eddy & Randi... Kreger). As soon as I began seeing someone new my son's father went crazy and began making accusations of child abuse against my new partner and trying to make my life miserable. Kathryn was there to help me even during the off hours when an incident would happen and I did not know how to respond. There were several instances in which I had to contact her early on a Saturday morning and she was always there for me. I always felt bad for bothering her but she never made me feel like it was an issue. I could tell that she cared and just wanted to help. To me, this is going above and beyond your duty as an attorney. Additionally, she always kept me in the loop and informed about what was going on and gave "me" the option to decide what to do and the possible consequences of each option instead of just deciding for me. Kathryn also knew that I was on a budget and worked hard to try and save money for me where she was able to. This was extremely helpful for me. Recently Kathryn had to withdraw from assisting me with my case and this was very upsetting because I really like her and I feel that she cared. She explained to me a personal situation in which a police officer tripped her at the courthouse. I couldn't believe it! When she filed a grievance they claimed that she was lying. I know that she would never do this because I have experienced her as a very fair and just individual and it is sad that the system is so messed up. As a result she has been temporarily barred from practicing law and can no longer assist me. I would like future clients to know that this was at no fault of hers and does not in any way reflect on her performance as an attorney. Unfortunately, from what I have learned through this whole process is that the legal system is very flawed. Kathryn is great and I would recommend her to anyone!

Since 2008 I have have not been able to resolve a family law issue. Three previous lawyers were either incapable, incompetent, or both in finding resolution...at a cost of over $15,000. Kathryn fixed the problem saving me $60,000 in over paid day care the custodial parent refused to return. Kathry...n stays focused on the issues, and if you measure your results by return on investment, then invest in her as your legal adviser.
