Katherine Dimmick Carlo

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Katherine. I could not be more pleased with my experience with Katherine. I went through a very painful divorce over the past two years and she did an excellent job navigating me through the process. While all divorces are unique in some way, most folks are primarily concern...ed with the separation of finances and child custody. From my first appointment, Katherine efficiently and effectively learned my situation (including unique characteristics) and crafted a plan of action. It is easy to see that Katherine is an experienced attorney and very familiar with the Alexandria City and Fairfax County Court systems. She is very aware of all the emotional pitfalls/arguments that her clients and their soon-to-be ex-spouses can fall into during the divorce process. She does a great job defusing potentially painful and expensive situations through her sage legal advice and interactions with opposing attorneys. As most people know, the divorce process can be very expensive. While the number of issues that cannot be resolved between the divorcing couples will obviously increase the cost of a divorce, Katherine made every effort to efficiently use the hours of work billed. She was able to keep the cost of the entire process several thousand dollars lower than what I was expecting. As for child custody, Katherine worked very effectively with the opposing attorney to ensure my most important desires/demands were codified in the separation/child custody agreement. Although raising a child in a split household is never the best situation, I could not be more pleased with how the final agreement turned out. Katherine was a major factor in this positive child custody outcome. Again, I highly endorse Katherine.
