Excellent Lawyer

Katrina was a game-changer for my case. After working with several lawyers who mishandled my case, I only wish I had met her sooner. Her ability to clearly communicate my rights and provide the guidance I needed was impressive. She paid close attention to detail, actively listened to my concerns, and... responded quickly, demonstrating her unwavering commitment to her clients. From our very first consultation, I knew I was in good hands. Katrina and her team knew exactly what they were doing and were dedicated to achieving the best possible outcome for me. Their professionalism and expertise throughout the legal process were truly remarkable. I strongly recommend Katrina to anyone seeking the best possible representation. She is an exceptional attorney who will go above and beyond to fight for your rights and achieve the best possible outcome.

100% Best Family Law/Immigration Attorney in Area

I was in a very complicated and potentially expensive situation and Katrina Zafiro was recommended to me by another attorney whom I trust inexplicably. Katrina is incredibly knowledgeable about family and immigration law and was ALWAYS responsive, quick, and empathetic. She gave me all my options reg...arding the case and was willing to pivot and go whichever way I chose. We ended up bringing in a colleague of hers to assist and he was amazing as well. Hiring attorneys is expensive, but Katrina and her colleagues are very reasonably priced and 100% worth it! I can't even imagine what the negative review about her is referring to, because Katrina made herself available to me while she was out of office and NEVER once made me feel that my case wasn't important or urgent. And while the other party ended up having the lawsuit dismissed, I would have trusted Katrina to go all the way to help me fight for what was morally right! I will return to Katrina and her colleagues in the future, should I ever need assistance again – I would trust no one else!

I made the right decision!

I was very grateful for the help I received from Katrina and Smriti. I was encumbered with worry in a situation where I felt I had exasperated all efforts, and I was so ensure what the future would entail. After I was given a consultation, I knew I needed their service and their service more than exc...eeded my expectations. At any time I needed them they were always able to help quickly, with a high level of professionalism, and they made me feel very comfortable because I felt they really cared about my case. As the case went on, I had discovered revelations I never would of found out myself. As an end result, I am more than happy of what was accomplished; I finally feel at peace. I highly recommend.

Simply the best

It will be difficult to list everything that is so great about Katrina in under 4000 characters, but I will do my best. Katrina has protected me for over a year from my ex-wife who has defrauded me into marrying her in order to to obtain immigration benefits. My ex began cheating just 6 months aft...er our wedding. We were only married for 11 months. Once I filed for an annulment, in order to stay in the U.S. my ex wife attempted to frame me for domestic violence to exploit the VAWA I-751 waiver loophole and remove her 2 year conditional residence status, with intent to continue exploiting me financially by relentlessly perjuring herself in court. My ex had incredibly wealthy parents and they have hired the most expensive attorney they could find. This case went to trial, and lasted longer than the duration of our marriage. My ex and her counsel were merciless in their attacks. During this time I was an emotional wreck. Katrina's kindness and compassion, combined with her stellar communication and response times was the one thing that has kept me sane. Unlike other attorneys, you can talk to Katrina any time. You can ask her anything. You will get a detailed response almost immediately. Her documentation is the most detailed I have ever seen. She remembers everything you tell her, and uses it to protect you. Her document organization and technical skills are top-notch. Her knowledge of the law, including obscure case law, is a weapon your opponent should be very afraid of. She is always on time, meeting every deadline, and she will make every attempt at saving you money on litigation. Her and her assistants are incredibly resourceful in discovering hidden information and assets. She has a hawk's eye for spotting inconsistencies and lies in her opponent's testimonies. What was the end result of my case when we went to trial in front of a King County Superior Court Judge? WE WON. Plain and simple. We won, and I was awarded thousands of dollars. Katrina's attention to detail and clarity in explaining the important points to the court have prevented my ex from ruining my life. I am forever indebted to Katrina for protecting me from the false allegations of my ex, for protecting my career and my future and for exposing the truth. But most importantly, I am incredibly grateful to her for providing me with peace of mind in what I can only describe as the darkest time of my life. Her genuine compassion from the beginning and until the very end was the thing that helped me keep my head up and eventually come out on top. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!

"Katrina is an excellent lawyer. I've known Katrina for several years and have referred both immigration and family clients to her, and they have all been very happy with her work. For several years, Katrina and I have also been members of a family law consulting group, lawyers who get together to discuss (without names) family law cases, solutions, and strategies. Katrina has always been a stellar contributor to this group, and is highly valued by her colleagues. I endorse Katrina wholeheartedly and will continue to refer cases to her."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have been a mediator on three cases now where Katrina was an attorney representing one of the parties involved. She produces some of the most thorough materials I get as a mediator and it speaks volumes about how well prepared she is for trial. This level of preparation conveys to the other side what they are in for if they do not settle, and thus she is a tough negotiator. Katrina treats her clients extremely well, and is always professional in her demeanor, which is an asset in family law proceedings, where emotions can often ruin a case's chances of being successfully mediated without having to go to trial. Thus I endorse Katrina without reservation."
