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.

Most compassionate, honest , Fair, and hardworking attorney Ever.
Kathryn B Abele saved my life and taught me what it meant to be an officer of the court. This compassionate woman jumped in my case when everyone else backed off on me considering the seriousness of the allegations of my case. My vicious and nasty Ex wife and her attorney accused me of molesting my ...

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...
This 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.

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...

HONEST AND CAPABLE
Kathryn is the most honest attorney I've ever dealt with. When I heard she was suspended because her bar association didn't believe she told the truth when she filed a report on a cop tripping her I was appalled--not because I believed Kathryn would do that--but because someone wouldn't believe s...
"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."
