Kathryn M. Woods

I had telephone consultation with her. She listens to well, addresses your concerns. Her approach is towards mediation and settlement. (which is good for clients when both the parties are willing.) She seems like a genuine person who cares about the client’s wellbeing.

I met Kathryn for a consultation. She made thorough notes of my needs and next steps on my case. Her office at the time was very busy, could not accept my matter right away. Kathryn however followed with me to make sure I was not missing any deadlines and provided me with ideas on how I could best handle my difficult situation. I would strongly recommend her, because I know that she genuinely cares and would have done a thorough job had her team taken my case on.

I want to give Kathryn the highest praise for not only guiding me forward with her expertise in the law, but also being so very patient and professional with my frequent requests to re-explain the legal process while frequently reversing my position on how to move forward. On thing I did not expect during my divorce was the degree to which emotional distress would adversely affect my rational thought processes. I found myself frequently, and uncharacteristically, confused and indecisive while asking Kathryn to repeat the same information again and again. In addition to her clear mastery of the law, it was in the area of human connection and understanding she excelled. I found her immensely patient with me, and repeated herself as needed without showing any signs of frustration. The experts say always get a lawyer in your divorce, no matter what. I would add to that by saying "Always get Kathryn M. Silk to represent you, if you can." Eternally Grateful, J.P. Odell

When I hired Kathryn, I got an articulate, attentive, thoughtful, knowledgeable attorney who saw me through a very challenging divorce. She recognized the significant issues we were dealing with and kept me informed and part of the process the entire time, which was important to me. Kathryn was always accessible, also important for your attorney during a very emotional and potentially vulnerable time in your life. She also brought in other members of her law firm at times for consultation for additional insight, also greatly appreciated. Kathryn anticipated potential problems and issues so I felt we were always prepared. She was also conscious of time and expense, and I appreciated that as well. Her recommendation of a specific mediator, whom we were able to use, was critical in our eventual settlement during mediation, and in the quality of the settlement, which was both fair and generous to me. Kathryn took care of all aspects of seeing through my divorce, and treated me with kindness, respect, and straightforwardness in presenting the facts of divorce law- and making sure I had the knowledge I needed to make decisions- all greatly recognized and appreciated by me. Divorce is a challenging process, and Kathryn helped to make it not only a positive experience for me, but a very good settlement as well. I couldn't ask for anything more in an attorney than what Kathryn offered.

She explained exactly what I thought. I took her advice, if I was closer, I would have hired her to represent my daughter.
