She is not a lawyer- Dont waste your money
She is a horrible person and horrible lawyer. If you care about your case, DO NOT HIRE HER. All she cares about the money. She dropped off my case, in the middle of the process because she couldn't finish the case.

Be aware, find another attorney.
Do not hire this attorney. Abrupt, unprepared, inaccurate, and unorganized. Doesn't review what you submit, doesn't answer phone calls, doesn't even write well. The motion she submitted to Court was inaccurate on many accounts. She is not worth even $50 per hour
Well I do not know who this person is but I can assure all people that read the reviews I always answer the phone, I write well and I review everything I submit. I am sure the person did not get what they wanted but I never guarantee that at all.

sad walking mental illness that steals your money
This attorney was paid almost 50k and only made things worse. She yelled at the judge. She has no credibility in the legal community and is only a liability to the person that hires her. She received PPP loans during COVID. She was hostile, unhelpful and a complete and utter sham as an attorney. ...
I wish I could say this is my client but alas I cannot. I would love to have made $50k recently but I did not. Also every client I have ever had would never misspell my last name. I am sure this is from an opposing party that just lost his request for custody because I know my client's very well and have not heard anything negative at all. Get hugs all around. Last thing--I have never yelled at a judge and am very respected in my legal community.

She is unorthodox, but cares a lot and knows the law
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...

Amazing Attorney that cares about helping her client and not the money. Highly recommend Kathryn Abele.
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...
"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."
