Successfully Appealed my case, published as Case Law

Kathryn met with me Thanksgiving weekend in 2006 and still represents me today. She assisted me with proving that I am a fit father and was also able to prove that my ex-wife utilized "Abusive Use of Conflict" and "Parental Alienation." She successfully argued to the Court of Appeals and had a previo...us ruling that violated my civil liberties as a parent overturned. Thanks to Kathryn, Dawn (associate attorney) and Doug (Assistant) I am the custodial parent of my two children.

Parental Action

Ms Abele was been involved in my case for nearly 2 1/2yrs. She handled all matters of the case well in my opinion. She explained the laws and codes to me and advised me on why something should or shouldn't be done. I trusted her council and feel that my involvement in the family court system was b...etter then if I tried to go through alone. My observations of the interactions between her and her opposing councils was that she was respected by them. She would respond promptly to any messages left, and was very through in her work. And while I will or would gladly use Ms Abele for any future legal representation, it's my hope that I wont have to.

Kathryn B Abele's Lawyer Endorsements

Endorse Kathryn

Alison Ferguson

Family lawyer | Sep 17

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"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."

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"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."
