Grace under Fire
Katherine and her team were magnificent throughout my highly contentious divorce. Not only was she excellent as a legal advocate, she effectively marshalled the right resources for all our needs -- from traveling to Eastern WA to depose the "other woman", to finding a forensic accountant to put a pri...

Calm in the storm
We were thrown into a very emotional situation. We had no idea how to proceed. Katherine has good “bed side manner”, listened to us, made us feel heard, validate all our concerns. She was confident and professional. She knew everything that needed to be done. Her staff were equally knowledgeabl...

Smart, hardworking, & Passionate
If I'm you, I wouldn't even bother looking anywhere else for an attorney. She really is the best! I hired her to handle a contentious family issue and she fought for me; but with class and grace. We ended up in court and Katherine was BRILLIANT! She doesn't roll in the mud with people, but fights...

Katherine is a patient, competent, and compassionate divorce lawyer
Katherine helped me through my divorce, the whole time keeping things calm, in perspective and fair. She went to bat for me and I feel like I had a very favorable outcome in a difficult and potentially contentious situation. Katherine is knowledgeable, a good strategist, and fair. I recommend her to ...
"Katherine is a highly skilled and knowledgeable family law attorney who fights hard on cases. She seems to care genuinely for her clients while not being afraid to tell them when they are being unreasonable. She also has a good sense of humor and contributes a lot to the family law bar. After working opposite to her in a couple high conflict cases, I highly respect her. She is a formidable opponent, and I would recommend her for dissolution cases involving complex financial and child custody disputes."
"I've known Katherine since before we took the bar exam. So I've seen her upward trajectory as an excellent attorney. Those raw elements existed long before I met her. But during these years, she's honed those talents to become a well-respected practitioner with razor-sharp abilities and enviable skills. She's a problem-solver but isn't afraid to stand up for her clients. And she's a go-to sounding board for me when I have a complicated issue I need help on. You can't go wrong in choosing her.."
"I endorse Katherine Kent. Katherine is diligent and an effective advocate for her clients. She has a strong command of family law and it shows both in and out of the courtroom."
"I endorse this lawyer. Katherine is highly skilled at helping her clients through tough situations. She works hard and cares."
"I have known Katherine since law school and have had cases against her. Katherine is very knowledgeable in the area of family law. I respect her professionalism and the work she does for her clients. I endorse this lawyer."
