Kathryn B Abele

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...red about the money. She forgets key points from our communication and fails to inform me of important issues opposing party offered. Bottom line is she was responsible for dragging my divorce on and on...

Kathryn took my case in less then weeks before my court hearing. I was turned down by multiple attorney's with all odds against me. I won full custody of my children thanks to her hard work and dedication. She worked tirelessly and efficiently through my case. Ensuring she knew every detail. She ma...de me feel like my case was her top priority and kept me updated on everything with full explanation. She gave me the hope ,strength and courage I needed standing before the court. When we presented in court she was always a step ahead. She has great knowledge of child custody cases and knows the system well. She is by far the best attorney out there!!!! Thank you Kathryn !!!

In Oct 2017, Kathryn entered our very COMPLEX De Facto case. It was extremely messy and stressful. Kathryn immediately took on the case, knowing that despite what had already occurred, in the favor of our opposing counsel, she could help to overturn the actions already taken. In three months time, Ka...thryn kept us up to speed each and every moment during our proceedings, was very responsive to our questions and concerns and always responded, same day to our e-mails. She never missed a deadline. Kathryn clearly, professionally and accurately stated the law in each motion filed. She knew exactly how to defend us - and in the end all motions were overturned in our favor. She really understands how our legal system operates, and how to seek justice. We would HIGHLY recommend Kathryn, to any person seeking legal counsel and/or to be represented, whether from the get-go or mid-litigation.

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

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!
