Kathleen Marliss McCann

We were in immediate need of a lawyer to file a Petition for the Guardianship of a Minor for two precious kids who came unexpectedly into our care due to neglect. We believe we hit the jackpot when we found Kathy McCann. She hit the ground running for us and saw the case through to a victorious resul...t, despite many hurdles along the way. Petitions for Guardianship of a Minor are relatively new in the state of Washington, and when we began the process, it was difficult to find lawyers willing or knowledgeable enough to take these new case types. With her extensive family law background, Kathy researched the new requirements as needed, always ensuring she was thoroughly prepared. She is a consummate professional, well respected by her peers and the court, and as her clients, it was easy to see why. Kathy is dedicated, honest, succinct, effective and compassionate - she fought for the safety and health of these two precious minors as if they were part of her own family. Thank you, Kathy!

My experience with Kathy McCann as my divorce attorney can be summed up by using 3 words; unpretentiousness, integrity, and awareness. Kathy's understanding of life's most difficult situations, her commitment to playing fair no matter what is thrown her way and lastly her keen understanding of the at...titudes and personalities of the environment she works in helped me tremendously in moving upward and onward in the next chapter in my life.

Kathleen walked me through the darkest, scariest thing I've ever been through. From my first meeting, I felt confident she understood my situation and gave me a realistic idea of what to expect. That's what I wanted from the experience; someone I could put my confidence in to get a reasonable result.... I didn't want a shark attorney. I wanted someone I could trust and respect and I found that in Kathleen. She guided me from before separation and how to do that properly to transitioning back to the workforce. She knew how to handle hostile opposing counsel and how and when to settle. I was pleased to have Kathleen on my side and have recommended her to other people who are unfortunately in my same position. If you want real, honest, caring advocacy, Kathleen is a solid choice.

Really never though I'd call an attorney trustworthy, but that is what Kathy McCann turned out to be. I was worried as a father that I wouldn't get good terms or a fair shake, but I did. Of course, no one wants to be divorced or have to fight for custody, but I must say that, now that's it's done, ...Ms McCann did a good job for me. She helped me along the way not to make things worse for myself and she gave me good advise. She was easy to contact and returned phone calls or emails quickly. She did a good job and I appreciate it.
