Highly Skilled, Trusted, Client‑Interest‑First Attorney

I hired Ms. Lyons and was consistently impressed by her professionalism and skill. She is exceptionally sharp and deeply knowledgeable, able to explain complex legal issues clearly while anticipating problems before they arose. Throughout my matter she acted strategically and decisively, always prior...itizing and protecting my interests. Communication was prompt and thorough — she kept me informed, explained options and trade-offs, and made sure I understood every step. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a smart, dedicated attorney who will advocate fiercely and thoughtfully on your behalf.

Excellent and Devoted Divorce and Separation attorney

Kate is very thorough and available. She is a great lawyer and comes from a legal family, so she is devoted as a lawyer. Personally she has been very helpful with my divorce and subsequent issues and is always ready and willing to help on a variety of issues. She is very effective at formulating m...y issues into legal issues. Also, she is really professional and courteous, and prompt. I highly recommend her.

Don't focus on the cost. Having Peace is priceless.

Getting divorced is not a pleasureable event so you need to have a well educated lawyer. Mrs. Lyons always knew the correct and professional answer in a rapid manner. The best interests for my child and I were always handled with careful detail and attention.

HIGHLY PROFESSIONAL

I have a very good experience with Kathryn Michelle Lyons. She is extremely professional and her attitude and behavior is awesome. She is a good human being.

Don't waste your money

As a victim of Domestic Violence while facing a divorce with my ex-husband Kathryn did not advocate for my needs and would rather reap the benefit of her firm's rates. Please find a different attorney if you're going to blow thousands of dollars on a divorce.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
