DCYF Dependency Case/Pierce County Family Recovery Court

Mrs. Catherine Guza was my lawyer from October of 2018 until February of 2020 while I was participating in Family Recovery Court and navigating my way through a DCYF dependency case involving my then 1.5 year old son. There was not a single moment while she was representing me that I felt out of the ...loop, confused or concerned. Cathy made sure that I understood my rights and that my voice was heard. My son is home with me now and she is a large part of what went into bringing him home. I will forever be grateful to her. Thank you Cathy! You are hands down, the best there is!

So passionate, genuine, kind and hardworking

Cathie was only on my case briefly due to circumstances beyond our control, however, as soon as I met her I felt comfortable, listened to, and hopeful. She was prompt in responding to me and with court documents needing to be addressed. (I have worked with other lawyers who took their time to get thi...ngs done and often did not keep the other parties informed of new developments.) Since we couldnt work together on my case, she kindly referred me to another awesome attorney in town. Cathie didn't just leave me stranded without a paddle. That shows integrity, which I appreciate. She also shared thoughts, ideas and a fresh perspective on my situation which also gave me hope. I do often HIGHLY recommend Catherine Case as an attorney when I hear of a need.

Excellent Lawyer and wonderful person!!

When I was very desperate and scared like so many parents that go through this struggle, a family member had told me about free legal aid/free consultation at a legal aid clinic. This is were I met Catherine! She was the advising volunteer that night and so wonderful in explaining what I needed to ...do first, what paperwork needed to be filled out and filed, etc. It was so overwhelming. I asked her if she could be the one to represent me in my case that night. I asked her, not because she was the lawyer available in the clinic but felt very comfortable talking to her and definitely felt like she actually cared about the situation and cared for me, as a person. It felt like I was talking to a friend! From the time she was hired, she kept me informed on absolutely everything on a daily basis and became my rock I leaned on. This was a very stressful time for my family and I! She completed my case with success and I will be forever grateful to Catherine!! She is very thorough and I am very impressed with her work! I recommend her to anyone that needs a great lawyer. She is not only a great lawyer but a very caring human being!!!

Child Support Modification

Catherine was a pleasure to deal with throughout my case. She is very knowledgeable and thorough. I was very stressed out dealing with the paperwork as it can be very confusing. After I contacted Catherine she made it very simple and took a lot of stress of my shoulders. I felt very confident having ...Catherine deal with my court case. She updated me on a regular basis which was great. I never had to wonder what was going on. After all said and done she was able to get my case settle without having to go to court. I would highly recommend Catherine to be your lawyer. If I ever need any legal help again I will be contacting Catherine Case.

MY HERO :)

Mrs. Case was the most honest lawyer that I have ever seen. She went above and beyond in helping me out with my case. Everything I didn't know she had the answer . Always keeping me inform of what way going on with my case. When I had doubt about the case she was their to insure me that everything i...s going to work out for the best. She said Mr. Watkins you're in good hands, I got your back and she did and i beat the case with flying colors. Her ability to navigate even the toughest situations throughout my case was extraordinary. Even though I was not in the state of Washington I had full faith in her. If I know some in need of a attorney I will not hesitate to refer them to her. BRAVO ZULU WELL DONE JOB !!!!! :)

Professional misconduct

Reprimand issued in WA, 2019

This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
