Fights for your rights!

Kathryn represented me from roughly the end of 2020 until the fall of last year (2024). Got me through my divorce that was finalized in july 22 and all I asked for in my divorce for a long distance parenting plan. Unfortunately because of my ex I was forced to move back and Kathryn continued to take... on my case as my ex took me through court 2 years in a row following the divorce. She works and fights hard to get their clients the best outcome. Shes well known as a hard hitting attorney , I truly cant recommend her enough!

Best Attorney I have ever had in my entire life!

I would give her 10 Stars if I could! I have never had anyone fight for me so hard my entire life. She was so Amazing in court, and I was so proud to stand next to her. Natasha her Assistant was Amazing as well and they kept me informed on everything the entire case! My case was an extremely tough on...e and the court ruled in our favor after a masterpiece argument by Kathryn. I am forever grateful, Paul Massey

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

Replied last July 16, 2024

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.

So lost on how to deal with the courts

I came in for a consultation to try to get the maximum amount of time with my daughter and she gave me so many tips to help my case and let me know the best course of action for me to take. Unfortunately money is tight and I am unable to afford her but if I could I would hire her in a heart beat.

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."

Hussein Karmali

Family lawyer | Sep 19

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"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."

James Saulsbury

Family lawyer | Jul 03

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"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."

Samuel Darling

Family lawyer | Feb 23

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"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."

Jason Benjamin

Family lawyer | Nov 08

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."

Blair Russ

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"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."
