Catherine Good is an excellent competent and compassionate attorney. I have used her services several times since 1998 and was satisfied every time. She has a unique quality that allows her to help people feel safe and taken care of at a very vulnerable time. I trust her to assist me in whatever my legal issues are, knowing that she will give me the best quality legal advice available. She is a genuinely good human being that just happens to be a lawyer and it shows in her interactions with the clients she serves. I would recommend Catherine Good to anyone seeking legal assistance if competence, compassion and a desire for excellence are important to them

Catherine deserves more recognition and honors than a review could ever hope to bestow, but I cannot thank her enough for the way she handled my case and fought for my family. After 7 years of custody hearings and several different attorneys, Catherine came in swinging and NEVER settled for less than what was best for my family. She remained in constant communication with me during the entire process and she made sure she understood every intricate detail of not only the case documentation, but of the personal nature of the people involved. She never "settled" with anything less than what was the best for my son. Every move that was made strategically with the end goal always in mind. She is a fighter and her determination was such a breath of fresh air compared with my previous attorneys who seemed reluctant to stand behind a father fighting for his son's well being. I cannot recommend Catherine enough.

Catherine has truly been a blessing. Having come into our lengthy, ongoing case, her clear and fair minded approach has changed the direction of our highly contentious situation. She is a skilled mediator whom I can always rely on for clarity, honesty, and complete support. Catherine is always focused on doing what is best for our family and I highly recommend her.

Catherine is a very experienced lawyer. She projects the confidence and peace that I desperately needed in my difficult legal process. She is extremely supportive and a very respectful listener. She was always there when I needed her, and weekends and nights were never too busy for her to reply my emails. Her office staff is very welcoming and courteous. I highly recommend Catherine. Catherine, thank you for all your support and every word of encouragement during such a difficult time.

Catherine represented us in a difficult time and exceeded our expectations. She is competent and caring and never minded answering all of my questions. Catherine actually got us an outcome above what we had hoped. I recommend her without reservation.

I had a negative experience with a previous family law attorney, and after visiting Catherine for a 2nd opinion late last year, she was quickly able get my situation back on track, and ease all my anxieties about my case. She took the time to really listen and understand the issues I was facing, and made recommendations which made my parenting situation (with a contentious ex-spouse) easier from that point forward. I felt Catherine and her team were highly competent, experienced, and trustworthy. She was honest and realistic at all times with me. She knew when to stand firm and when to compromise. After working with Catherine for the last 12 months, I can definitely say I am happy with the outcome of my divorce, and i'd recommend her to anyone looking for an attorney in family law.

Cathy is a great person by heart and excellent in her profession. She is very professional and compassionate. She is very quick in responding through phone/ text any day including weekends. I met with atleast 10 attorneys before meeting with Cathy and finally chose Cathy to represent me. She is very knowledgeable about the law and I highly recommend her for your legal battles.

Catherine has been amazing...twice. She is extremely knowledgable and trustworthy. Her professionalism in the courtroom is impeccable. Catherine is always only a phone call, e-mail, or text away. I would recommend (and have recommended) her services to anyone in need of a reputable, reliable, compassionate attorney. Thank you, Catherine, for everything!
