THREE FOR THE PRICE OF ONE

Since 2008 I have have not been able to resolve a family law issue. Three previous lawyers were either incapable, incompetent, or both in finding resolution...at a cost of over $15,000. Kathryn fixed the problem saving me $60,000 in over paid day care the custodial parent refused to return. Kathry...n stays focused on the issues, and if you measure your results by return on investment, then invest in her as your legal adviser.

Dropped Me Like a Rock

Ms. Abele represented me in a legal separation, and was generally pretty unresponsive and overall not very helpful throughout that process. Then when the trial separation date ended, I emailed Ms. Abele to let her know that my spouse and an I were going to continue to work on our relationship through... marriage counseling. So she immediately sent a letter to me and the court stating that she was dropping me as a client. My spouse's attorney basically said, "Oh, OK, good, luck, and call me later if it does not work out." But Ms. Abele did no such thing. Apparently if you hesitate for a second and do not immediately file for divorce, she will divorce you. Beware. Would NEVER recommend her to anyone.

I was a scared mom with lots of questions Katherine always got back to and answered every question right away. She was very knowledgeable when we went to court she would tell me what exactly the judge would say before the judge said it. I highly recommend her to anyone and aways will. She got me m...ore than I expected and she truly cares about her clients had it shows. Thank you Kathy my kids and I are in dented to you

Awesome Considerate Family Attorney

Kathryn is a great lawyer and a nice person too. I enjoyed working with her. She is considerate of the client and the costs that might be incurred to the client by her services so she does not recommend any extra stupid things to do that won't help you reach your final goal. She won my relocation... case for me. She tried to keep me out of trial and warned me it was a toss up if we went to trial. However, once I saw her in action in court I was thouroughly impressed adn she just out lawyered the oppossing counsel. I have a friend who is a family law lawyer and he told me the job she did was aweome and I should kiss her feet for the work she did and the outcome she got me. You are definitely in good hands with Kathryn.

Parental Action

Ms Abele was been involved in my case for nearly 2 1/2yrs. She handled all matters of the case well in my opinion. She explained the laws and codes to me and advised me on why something should or shouldn't be done. I trusted her council and feel that my involvement in the family court system was b...etter then if I tried to go through alone. My observations of the interactions between her and her opposing councils was that she was respected by them. She would respond promptly to any messages left, and was very through in her work. And while I will or would gladly use Ms Abele for any future legal representation, it's my hope that I wont have to.
