Kathryn B Abele

I've gotten to know Ms. Abele throughout my divorce proceedings. I can tell you that she has a very good, kind heart. And she is smart as a whip. My husband threatened me time and again to take money away from me if I got a lawyer. It almost worked. I hired Ms. Abele who quickly reassured me tha...t this could not happen. She was able to get me everything I needed and deserved from a 22 year marriage with a scoundrel. I've seen people remark on Ms. Abele's disciplinary hearing. Why refer to something in the past? Why not simply speak to her skills (or lack thereof) as a lawyer? I find it to be cruel. Is Ms. Abele different? Yes. But I have learned to see past a person's obvious exterior and see within. There is no room in this world for 'different', which I find unfortunate. I truly believe, based on what I have observed in Ms. Abele, that she was unfairly judged. To find her intentionally disruptive was ignoring the wide spectrum of human behavior. She is loud. She can get too emotional. But that doesn't make her a bad attorney. If you want a well behaved lawyer, don't hire her. If you want a GREAT lawyer who will save/win you money, then do.

I urge you to look into this woman's own legal history before hiring her. The legal documents describing her utterly bizarre and wildly disrespectful antics in court (leading to her being temporarily disbarred for a year) will leave you in disbelief, and show her true colors. Google her name + "anima...l noises." No joke. This is real information that people need to know first.

I couldn't be happier with Kathryn Abele. What an amazing attorney. She cared about me and not the money. I knew I made the right decision when Kathryn told me that she would only drop me if I lied to her. She doesn't care about money. Money was always the last thing we talked about. Kathryn di...dn't want a huge retainer. That also showed me she cared about me and not the money. Kathryn charged me $2000 for my divorce AND to get a DVPO dismissed. Not only did I completely win my divorce and my ex wife got $0 from me I also kept all of my property without having to split anything with my ex wife but Kathryn also got my DVPO completely dismissed because Kathryn proved that the only reason my ex wife got the DVPO was to gain leverage in the divorce. I couldn't be happier with Kathryn. If you want someone that cares about YOU hire Kathryn. I also spent a little time reading through her reviews. I noticed a 1 star review from someone named Jessica on 02-22-2021 the same day we got our final divorce papers. Hmmmm my ex wifes name is Jessica. And my ex wife just lost everything she was asking for. I am willing to bet that the 1 star review came from my ex wife Jessica. The reason I say that is because my ex wife wanted 10k in lawyers fees. Not only that but before I even hired a lawyer I offered my ex wife money to pay for any fees if she would just stop lying and we ended our marriage civily. Jessica didn't want that. Jessica wanted to fight. And she went and lied and got a false DVPO. Coincidence....I dont think so. So please don't listen to the review from Jessica on 02-22-2021. It is a false review and a lie. So if you want an attorney that cares about you and not what's in your wallet and will go over and beyond without asking for more money, hire Kathryn 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...

I found kathrynn online at some law website when searching for legal help for a case where my sons mother was attempting to take him out of the stats after 5 years of coparenting with no prior indication to me. Kathryn helped me cut costs whenever possible and in the end helped me win what I believed... to be a difficult case. After proving that what my son would be leaving behind in Washington was WAY more significant than the promise of a steady home for his mother away from all of his family and friends. A tumultuous 6 months later and a hell of a battle. Kathrynn always kept me informed on any potential costs or conflicts and allowed me to do some work for myself to help cut costs once again. I did whatever I could. There was no way I could let the other half of my life leave. Eventually we settled last week. I was not named the primary pareny but it was determined I was his primary male role model(whatever that means, his father) and we would continue with out 50/50 schedule that had been maintained for the past 3 years until this case. Kathrynn has an attitude and healthy obsession with the law and getting justice for her clients in whatever way possible. She was professional throughout, upfront and helped me immensely. Id recommend her to anyone with family law concerns. As soon as i posted on the law website the first time 2 minutes later I was on a free phone consultation and doing everything I could before even paying a cent. Kathryn is lazer focused and works insanely hard. In the end I couldn't be happier. I get to stay with my son in Washington and everything has worked out as best as I could of wished.
