Strong Pragmatic Attorney

Kathryn was a strong advocate for me during this very difficult process. She did her research on the lawsuit claim(s), the other attorney and the presiding judge. The result was a fair decision that did not require excessive fees.

Will fight for you!

I had hired a different attorney to initially help me with a very difficult divorce and custody situation. I wish I had gone straight to Kathryn. It would have saved me lots of time, stress and money in the end. She fought for me and my child as if we were her own & reassured me every step of the way... that we were in good hands. She got us everything we wanted and more. I highly recommend Kathryn to anyone in need of a family law attorney!

Worst experience ever

Hired her because she was a Super Attorney and she was female. I thought I had someone I could trust because she was also a divorced woman, I was wrong. She nickel and dimed me until my money was gone. When the retainer got low she told me that I "better find a way to pay her because she didn't wo...rk for free". She gave my case low priority because it wasn't a high paying case for her. I ended up firing her and I've been scarred since. Don't waste your time or your hard earned money.
