Absolutely amazing!

As a university professor, I worked with lawyers for nearly 20 years. So when I needed a lawyer for my own case, I wanted the best. Kathy is the best of the best. She is stunningly brilliant, relentlessly hard-working (always for the best interests of the client), widely admired and respected (she wa...s recommended to me by a judge), deeply caring and selflessly dedicated, and unfailingly supportive and energizing. Kathy is also *successful* - she created a great outcome, beyond anything I could have hoped. Do anything you can to be represented by Kathy Goater.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
