First time winning

I had horrible experiences with lawyers in my past and Cate was absolutely fantastic. For the first time I was actually counseled and informed about basic terms regarding my parenting plan. With Cate's help I was finally able to win against my ex and not be taken advantage of. Thank you so much for a...ll your help and services! Will be contacting Cate again if needed!

Strong Advocate!

I am so grateful that I have Cate on my side. I have a very complicated case that involves international divorce and custody issues. Cate meticulously researched and provided me with careful guidance on how to go about my impending divorce. She gave me the strength and the voice to face this unwanted... battle. She has gone above and beyond for me and I cannot thank her enough.

Parenting

Catherine was extremely professional and straight forward with her approach to my case. She kept me informed during the entire process of all of my options and helped me make informed decisions. I was very emotional in the beginning and reacting out of anger. Catherine kept me focused by being honest... and straight forward with all possible outcomes and kept me on track. She did not file unnecessary motions or drag me through a process that wasn’t going to work. We come to an agreement that worked for us and Catherine was instrumental in us being able to obtain it without trial.

Wish I had known her earlier in the process

Catherine Victornio is a very proficient attorney, but she has genuine empathy for her clients. In my opinion, this makes her push herself harder to get the desired outcome. This is exactly what she did for me, including following up after the case had concluded to check that I was doing well. Fro...m my initial contact with Cate, it was obvious that she was already well versed in everything it was going to take to get my divorce taken care of. To say she was conscientious and caring would be an understatement. We had to work together long distance, and her whole staff worked collectively to make certain all documents, signatures, and anything necessary was processed accurately and timely. Every question I asked, they already had answered. My entire experience with the team felt more like they were friends or family who were taking care of me rather that a group of people I had not met shuffling papers. Because of the tight timeframe we had to work together, I sent way too emails and documentation and called more that I should have. Cate was always reassuring and managed to sift through mountains of documents to get just what the court needed. Her tasks would have probably been simpler without my impediment, but she got through all that with grace, dignity and won. Make a note of that – she won what I had been told was a losing battle. Cate’s knowledge of the law and the legal system in general is second to none. She easily recognized when the opposing side was up to no good and quickly walked away and strengthened our position. She labored under difficult circumstances and a shortened time frame to achieve the very best outcome for me – exactly the outcome I needed. Her expertise notwithstanding, it was her caring and understanding that really helped me get through this ordeal. The entire team made me feel comforted, confident and assured. I am aware of how many late nights Cate worked hard for me and worked hard to keep me at ease. Cate continuously made me aware of what to expect and what the possibilities might be, I was never in the dark about the process. It is most likely her compassion that has strengthened her abilities.

Kind, Compassionate Helpful

For those of us who have had to deal with the legal system to fight for our families, it creates a very challenging time on many levels. What I’ve found is that in those unfortunate cases, the attorney can make all the difference. I recently called Catherine for some advice on a situation with my e...x who refuses to pay his share of shared expenses. It would cost me more in legal fees to collect than the amount due which is why it didn’t make sense to take action (which I’m sure my ex knew). She was very helpful and told me about some community resources that I had no idea were even available. I have found that it’s difficult to find an attorney who is a good fit for one’s needs because so many won’t spend even 5 minutes with you without charging you their minimum hour fee. I appreciated her compassion and resourcefulness and highly recommend her. I will definitely be using her the next time I have a matter that requires representation.
