Best Divorce & Immigration lawyer who turned my life around!

I searched online for a lawyer in WA who can handle my divorce case with immigration issues intertwined. After a quick call with Katrina, I have no doubt that she is the best lawyer to work on my case. She is incredibly knowledgeable, responsive and has strong attention to details. She always has my ...best interests in mind. She not only came up with the stellar strategy that tailored to my needs, but also negotiated successfully to turn my divorce into legal separation so that I have more time to deal with immigration. She brought peace of mind during a very difficult and challenging time and it’s really comforting knowing that she has the expertise, compassion and capability to handle my case. I’m more than satisficed with the results (big win! even better than what I expected) and I would highly recommend Katrina to anyone who is in need of a family law/immigration lawyer.

Divorce and custody battle

I cannot stress enough how professional and timely Katrina and her team were in my case. I had an extremely difficult and time sensitive custody case and was referred to Katrina. My ex had basically kidnapped my children knowing the law in his favor (we had not had anything in place in regards to t...he court- he decided to keep them instead of return them on his scheduled visit and put a restraining order against me) I hired Katrina and her firm right away and they worked diligently. I was in deep distress. She was not only comforting and relatable but had vast knowledge of the court process due to her years of experience and expertise in her line of work, it was obvious. My case was very difficult. Katrina was able to get my kids back on temporary orders within a timely matter and then in the final divorce case settled with all my requests regarded. I could not be happier that I chose Katrina Zafiro as my representative. It was very clear to me that it was because of her professionalism and knowledge that we were able to achieve this. Thank you soooo very much Katrina, you have made my life livable! I would not be a whole person without my kids and you saw that and fought for it, tooth and nail.

Compassionate and Knowledgeable Lawyer

Katrina is a very organized, professional, dedicated, knowledgeable, approachable and compassionate lawyer. I worked twice with Katrina on two very different types of international family law cases. The international family law cases got very complicated and were very involved, and required not onl...y knowledge about Washington State law but international law as well. Katrina was able to be very professional and thorough throughout the process to secure a favorable outcome for me. Throughout my family law cases, Katrina was very compassionate, sympathetic, empathetic and sensitive towards my situation. This was greatly valued and appreciated, especially since my family law case involved issues over my children and parenting plans. Katrina went beyond her lawyer duties and was present to make sure I had a smooth transition for my initial parenting plan arrangement. I also appreciated that all the records and documents needed were very organized and accessible in her electronic management MyCase system so I was able to keep track of the progress and be well informed of the updates to the case. When the cases got complicated, Katrina always presented viable options for me to choose on how to move forward with the case. She is a very diligent and professional lawyer that works hard for you, at the same time provides you with the emotional support, confidence and compassion to help you achieve the outcome and goal you want for your case.

"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."
