Read up on her sordid past.
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...
Kathryn Abele
Replied last June 07, 2021This person was and is not my client. This review is from the husband of an opposing party who emailed me on June 6th to tell me all about my past and that I should not be able to represent the father of his step-daughter in a potential case of contempt. I tell every new client of my past and have no issues with any court or judge and the judge who said those things apologized to me in person so judge me for yourself. I work hard for all my clients and as anyone can see the only people who have put up bad reviews are opposing parties and their spouse so I feel secure in my place as the father's attorney.
Kathryn B Abele's Lawyer Endorsements
"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."
