Cathy was absolutely fabulous to work with during this difficult time. She took the time to explain everything to me ranging from legal terms to what was best for my situation that I found confusing. Cathy always triple checked messages, paperwork, and numbers to make sure that everything was accurate. Not only was Cathy patient and thorough with my case, she showed great compassion! I highly recommend her if you are in need of a divorce attorney.

I was referred to Cathy from a friend years ago. I called her in an emergency child custody situation. After a phone discussion she met me at the courthouse the morning of trial and stood up and won a temporary child custody order. After we had a chance to get to know one another I learned Cathy is very honest and hard working. She helped me win custody and saved myself and my kids from a bad situation. Recently I needed Cathy's services again in a divorce case. Once again Cathy put together a very strong case. She is very thorough, very organized, and prepared. I have and will continue to recommend Cathy to anyone who needs an attorney.

Cathy is a hard working and dedicated attorney. I was referred to Cathy by a good friend to represent me in my divorce. My divorce was challenging, however Cathy took the time to explain the process and was instrumental in successfully representing me. Cathy always took the time to keep me informed of all proceedings and made herself available to answer my questions. I would strongly recommend Cathy to anyone who is looking for a professional attorney.

My case was far from average and extremely labor intensive lasting eight years, seven post divorce. There were times when my situation did not have precedence and Cathy had to dig deep to support my case and find ways to keep my situation preserved, and she did, very capably. She pursued through an eight hour divorce trial and post divorce property settlement that lasted through stressful hours of debate, research, argument, with many hours of clarification to me so that I clearly understood the legal aspect of what was transpiring in my case, with much patience on her part. Cathy also went the extra mile until the very end where a final settlement property, that was unbelievably drawn out, where I was finally able to gain closure after years of intense stress and anxiety. Her patience, professionalism, and support was outstanding during these past years and kept me from going over the deep end many times over. Cathy is not only an intelligent, competent, efficient, authoritative attorney, she is also a very supportive and caring human being. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for legal services in her specialty. I'm deeply grateful.

Cathy has been my attorney for 3 years during a highly emotional custody case in Skagit County. She handled it with compassion, tact, and forethought about how each issue may affect my future relationship with my child. She is very hard working, caring, knows the facts, and fought harder in my case than I ever imagined she would...all on my behalf. Cathy has strong business skills to complement her legal practice; her extensive knowledge of financial issues superseded the other party saving me thousands of dollars in child support. I found her billing to be honest and accurate as compared to other experiences with attorneys in Skagit County. During my case, she negotiated aggressively with opposing party to agree on issues out of court saving me additional stress and money. Other professionals involved in my case commented on Cathy's professionalism and skill with complex family law issues, especially in the courtroom. I have already referred Cathy for other business and will not hesitate to call her again.

I was given Cathy's name as a recommendation. I feel fortunate that she was the one who represented me - she is an extremely hard working attorney. She packs value into every minute she works for you. It may be her prior background in finance, as she is great at keeping her eye on the bottom line. The statements that came from her office were clear and the accounting easy to understand. Not knowing how much time would be needed or money I was going to spend, I told her that I appreciated what a good steward of the money she was. I felt she handled my money in a very responsible manner We had very different styles, and it took a bit of time to get into a rhythm. Sometimes you can mean he exact same thing when communicating with someone, but you each process things differently. As time went on, I gained more and more respect for her and was proud to have her represent me. She is honest, fair, pragmatic, has high integrity and a noble character. In my case it was a longer process and in many ways I wish I would have known that. When the papers were filed I just assumed in ninety days it would be over. So any e-mail I received made me nervous. It's such a hard place to be especially after a long marriage. So many times it felt overwhelming. I wish I could have looked a bit further ahead as it's okay, I'm okay and in fact happier than I've been in years. There are new opportunities and once you work through things, your life can be so much better. I give her my highest recommendation.

Here’s why I chose Cathy Guthrie to represent me after our first meeting. She was obviously someone who knew the court system, especially at the local level. She asked the hard hitting questions that I didn’t expect. She didn’t try to make me feel good about myself or my choice to consider hiring her. She wanted to know the facts and told me the court wasn’t the place for emotional sparring with my son’s mother. She told me what I was asking for wasn’t going to be easy but it was possible. She didn’t immediately say she’d represent me. Obviously my money wasn’t her main interest. I left her office thinking that she would only represent me if I had been honest with her, which I was. She ultimately agreed to represent me and for a while in the beginning I think she was still trying to decide if I was being truthful with her. In the end my son’s mother and I agreed on a Parenting Plan that maximized our son’s time with both of us and neither paid child support. Since 2002 Cathy Guthrie has represented two more times in this matter. Most recently a motion began in 2009 and was settled in 2010 where I was given sole custody of my son. It was a long hard case where again Cathy kept me on track and my emotions in check. In 2012 I again hired Cathy to represent me. I was tired of the petty issues raised by the other party and wanted the matter to end as soon as possible. Cathy did what she does best. She listened to what I wanted and after reviewing the matter she presented the facts to the court and the matter was stopped at the first hearing. I would recommend Cathy Guthrie to anyone seeking the best family law attorney. She works hard and demands the same from her associates (they too deliver). She will tell you what to expect and she will do her best to keep things simple and on track. If you want someone to hold your hand and tell you everything is going to be just fine then I will tell you to look elsewhere. If you’re willing to listen and do what she says you won’t find a better family Law attorney to represent you. No matter the outcome, considering everything, you’ll be in the best position to be in for you and your family.

Cathy willingly took my case, which was extremely complicated. She worked phenomenally hard, and put in countless hours to help my family. Cathy truly is an advocate for her clients; I have, and will continue to recommend her legal services.

After thinking about the recommendation I wrote for Cathy last night, I realized I had omitted one critical point that is important to share. There were many times during my divorce that I felt I may never be okay again as my ex-husband and the original attorney both lacked a moral and ethical compass. Cathy assured me that I not only would I be ok, but I would be a stronger and better person when this was over. She was right. But even more important, she made sure that I got my life back! Cathy is awesome!

I am glad to have the opportunity to share my wonderful experience of working with Cathy on my long, complicated, difficult and emotional divorce. While the details of my divorce were nightmarish from the beginning, Cathy was a beacon of light each step of the way in navigating the legal process using her extensive experience, knowledge of family law and professional work ethic. Cathy placed a high value in being certain there was clarity in my understanding throughout the process. She is diligent about details and tenacious in her representation. Each time we were in court, it was evident that she is highly respected and esteemed for her superb ethics, professional knowledge and thorough presentations not only by her colleagues, but also by the many good people who work in all levels of the Snohomish County Court System. Cathy was consistently insightful and transparent in supporting me to evaluate what expenses and services would be prudent to pursue and which would not be money well spent. In addition, she was always cognizant of ways to keep legal costs down by guiding me in providing her with exactly what was needed, keeping our contacts direct and purposeful and using her legal staff to do as much of the leg work as possible. Cathy was also visionary in looking “beyond” the divorce and what supports would be in my best interest as we mediated the final details. While divorce can be pricey, having a talented attorney like Cathy without a doubt saved me a great deal of money in the long run. Besides being an outstanding talented attorney, Cathy is a person of integrity, compassion and honor. If you are in need of an attorney, you can feel confident that she would be an advocate who would support you in achieving your goals. I feel very lucky that Cathy was recommended to me, that she agreed to represent me and am delighted to have this forum to share my experience with this talented lady.

Cathy was absolutely fabulous to work with during this difficult time. She took the time to explain everything to me ranging from legal terms to what was best for my situation that I found confusing.

Cathy willingly took my case, which was extremely complicated. She worked phenomenally hard, and put in countless hours to help my family. Cathy truly is an advocate for her clients; I have, and will continue to recommend her legal services.

After thinking about the recommendation I wrote for Cathy last night, I realized I had omitted one critical point that is important to share. There were many times during my divorce that I felt I may never be okay again as my ex-husband and the original attorney both lacked a moral and ethical compass. Cathy assured me that I not only would I be ok, but I would be a stronger and better person when this was over. She was right. But even more important, she made sure that I got my life back! Cathy is awesome!

I am glad to have the opportunity to share my wonderful experience of working with Cathy on my long, complicated, difficult and emotional divorce. While the details of my divorce were nightmarish from the beginning, Cathy was a beacon of light each step of the way in navigating the legal process using her extensive experience, knowledge of family law and professional work ethic. Cathy placed a high value in being certain there was clarity in my understanding throughout the process. She is diligent about details and tenacious in her representation. Each time we were in court, it was evident that she is highly respected and esteemed for her superb ethics, professional knowledge and thorough presentations not only by her colleagues, but also by the many good people who work in all levels of the Snohomish County Court System. Cathy was consistently insightful and transparent in supporting me to evaluate what expenses and services would be prudent to pursue and which would not be money well spent. In addition, she was always cognizant of ways to keep legal costs down by guiding me in providing her with exactly what was needed, keeping our contacts direct and purposeful and using her legal staff to do as much of the leg work as possible. Cathy was also visionary in looking “beyond” the divorce and what supports would be in my best interest as we mediated the final details. While divorce can be pricey, having a talented attorney like Cathy without a doubt saved me a great deal of money in the long run. Besides being an outstanding talented attorney, Cathy is a person of integrity, compassion and honor. If you are in need of an attorney, you can feel confident that she would be an advocate who would support you in achieving your goals. I feel very lucky that Cathy was recommended to me, that she agreed to represent me and am delighted to have this forum to share my experience with this talented lady.

Cathy was absolutely fabulous to work with during this difficult time. She took the time to explain everything to me ranging from legal terms to what was best for my situation that I found confusing. Cathy always triple checked messages, paperwork, and numbers to make sure that everything was accurate. Not only was Cathy patient and thorough with my case, she showed great compassion! I highly recommend her if you are in need of a divorce attorney.

I was referred to Cathy from a friend years ago. I called her in an emergency child custody situation. After a phone discussion she met me at the courthouse the morning of trial and stood up and won a temporary child custody order. After we had a chance to get to know one another I learned Cathy is very honest and hard working. She helped me win custody and saved myself and my kids from a bad situation. Recently I needed Cathy's services again in a divorce case. Once again Cathy put together a very strong case. She is very thorough, very organized, and prepared. I have and will continue to recommend Cathy to anyone who needs an attorney.

Cathy is a hard working and dedicated attorney. I was referred to Cathy by a good friend to represent me in my divorce. My divorce was challenging, however Cathy took the time to explain the process and was instrumental in successfully representing me. Cathy always took the time to keep me informed of all proceedings and made herself available to answer my questions. I would strongly recommend Cathy to anyone who is looking for a professional attorney.

My case was far from average and extremely labor intensive lasting eight years, seven post divorce. There were times when my situation did not have precedence and Cathy had to dig deep to support my case and find ways to keep my situation preserved, and she did, very capably. She pursued through an eight hour divorce trial and post divorce property settlement that lasted through stressful hours of debate, research, argument, with many hours of clarification to me so that I clearly understood the legal aspect of what was transpiring in my case, with much patience on her part. Cathy also went the extra mile until the very end where a final settlement property, that was unbelievably drawn out, where I was finally able to gain closure after years of intense stress and anxiety. Her patience, professionalism, and support was outstanding during these past years and kept me from going over the deep end many times over. Cathy is not only an intelligent, competent, efficient, authoritative attorney, she is also a very supportive and caring human being. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for legal services in her specialty. I'm deeply grateful.

Cathy has been my attorney for 3 years during a highly emotional custody case in Skagit County. She handled it with compassion, tact, and forethought about how each issue may affect my future relationship with my child. She is very hard working, caring, knows the facts, and fought harder in my case than I ever imagined she would...all on my behalf. Cathy has strong business skills to complement her legal practice; her extensive knowledge of financial issues superseded the other party saving me thousands of dollars in child support. I found her billing to be honest and accurate as compared to other experiences with attorneys in Skagit County. During my case, she negotiated aggressively with opposing party to agree on issues out of court saving me additional stress and money. Other professionals involved in my case commented on Cathy's professionalism and skill with complex family law issues, especially in the courtroom. I have already referred Cathy for other business and will not hesitate to call her again.

I was given Cathy's name as a recommendation. I feel fortunate that she was the one who represented me - she is an extremely hard working attorney. She packs value into every minute she works for you. It may be her prior background in finance, as she is great at keeping her eye on the bottom line. The statements that came from her office were clear and the accounting easy to understand. Not knowing how much time would be needed or money I was going to spend, I told her that I appreciated what a good steward of the money she was. I felt she handled my money in a very responsible manner We had very different styles, and it took a bit of time to get into a rhythm. Sometimes you can mean he exact same thing when communicating with someone, but you each process things differently. As time went on, I gained more and more respect for her and was proud to have her represent me. She is honest, fair, pragmatic, has high integrity and a noble character. In my case it was a longer process and in many ways I wish I would have known that. When the papers were filed I just assumed in ninety days it would be over. So any e-mail I received made me nervous. It's such a hard place to be especially after a long marriage. So many times it felt overwhelming. I wish I could have looked a bit further ahead as it's okay, I'm okay and in fact happier than I've been in years. There are new opportunities and once you work through things, your life can be so much better. I give her my highest recommendation.

Here’s why I chose Cathy Guthrie to represent me after our first meeting. She was obviously someone who knew the court system, especially at the local level. She asked the hard hitting questions that I didn’t expect. She didn’t try to make me feel good about myself or my choice to consider hiring her. She wanted to know the facts and told me the court wasn’t the place for emotional sparring with my son’s mother. She told me what I was asking for wasn’t going to be easy but it was possible. She didn’t immediately say she’d represent me. Obviously my money wasn’t her main interest. I left her office thinking that she would only represent me if I had been honest with her, which I was. She ultimately agreed to represent me and for a while in the beginning I think she was still trying to decide if I was being truthful with her. In the end my son’s mother and I agreed on a Parenting Plan that maximized our son’s time with both of us and neither paid child support. Since 2002 Cathy Guthrie has represented two more times in this matter. Most recently a motion began in 2009 and was settled in 2010 where I was given sole custody of my son. It was a long hard case where again Cathy kept me on track and my emotions in check. In 2012 I again hired Cathy to represent me. I was tired of the petty issues raised by the other party and wanted the matter to end as soon as possible. Cathy did what she does best. She listened to what I wanted and after reviewing the matter she presented the facts to the court and the matter was stopped at the first hearing. I would recommend Cathy Guthrie to anyone seeking the best family law attorney. She works hard and demands the same from her associates (they too deliver). She will tell you what to expect and she will do her best to keep things simple and on track. If you want someone to hold your hand and tell you everything is going to be just fine then I will tell you to look elsewhere. If you’re willing to listen and do what she says you won’t find a better family Law attorney to represent you. No matter the outcome, considering everything, you’ll be in the best position to be in for you and your family.

So any e-mail I received made me nervous. It's such a hard place to be especially after a long marriage. So many times it felt overwhelming. I wish I could have looked a bit further ahead as it's okay, I'm okay and in fact happier than I've been in years. There are new opportunities and once you work through things, your life can be so much better. I give her my highest recommendation.

Here’s why I chose Cathy Guthrie to represent me after our first meeting. She was obviously someone who knew the court system, especially at the local level. She asked the hard hitting questions that I didn’t expect. She didn’t try to make me feel good about myself or my choice to consider hiring her. She wanted to know the facts and told me the court wasn’t the place for emotional sparring with my son’s mother. She told me what I was asking for wasn’t going to be easy but it was possible. She didn’t immediately say she’d represent me. Obviously my money wasn’t her main interest. I left her office thinking that she would only represent me if I had been honest with her, which I was. She ultimately agreed to represent me and for a while in the beginning I think she was still trying to decide if I was being truthful with her. In the end my son’s mother and I agreed on a Parenting Plan that maximized our son’s time with both of us and neither paid child support. Since 2002 Cathy Guthrie has represented two more times in this matter. Most recently a motion began in 2009 and was settled in 2010 where I was given sole custody of my son. It was a long hard case where again Cathy kept me on track and my emotions in check. In 2012 I again hired Cathy to represent me. I was tired of the petty issues raised by the other party and wanted the matter to end as soon as possible. Cathy did what she does best. She listened to what I wanted and after reviewing the matter she presented the facts to the court and the matter was stopped at the first hearing. I would recommend Cathy Guthrie to anyone seeking the best family law attorney. She works hard and demands the same from her associates (they too deliver). She will tell you what to expect and she will do her best to keep things simple and on track. If you want someone to hold your hand and tell you everything is going to be just fine then I will tell you to look elsewhere. If you’re willing to listen and do what she says you won’t find a better family Law attorney to represent you. No matter the outcome, considering everything, you’ll be in the best position to be in for you and your family.

Cathy willingly took my case, which was extremely complicated. She worked phenomenally hard, and put in countless hours to help my family. Cathy truly is an advocate for her clients; I have, and will continue to recommend her legal services.

After thinking about the recommendation I wrote for Cathy last night, I realized I had omitted one critical point that is important to share. There were many times during my divorce that I felt I may never be okay again as my ex-husband and the original attorney both lacked a moral and ethical compass. Cathy assured me that I not only would I be ok, but I would be a stronger and better person when this was over. She was right. But even more important, she made sure that I got my life back! Cathy is awesome!

I am glad to have the opportunity to share my wonderful experience of working with Cathy on my long, complicated, difficult and emotional divorce. While the details of my divorce were nightmarish from the beginning, Cathy was a beacon of light each step of the way in navigating the legal process using her extensive experience, knowledge of family law and professional work ethic. Cathy placed a high value in being certain there was clarity in my understanding throughout the process. She is diligent about details and tenacious in her representation. Each time we were in court, it was evident that she is highly respected and esteemed for her superb ethics, professional knowledge and thorough presentations not only by her colleagues, but also by the many good people who work in all levels of the Snohomish County Court System. Cathy was consistently insightful and transparent in supporting me to evaluate what expenses and services would be prudent to pursue and which would not be money well spent. In addition, she was always cognizant of ways to keep legal costs down by guiding me in providing her with exactly what was needed, keeping our contacts direct and purposeful and using her legal staff to do as much of the leg work as possible. Cathy was also visionary in looking “beyond” the divorce and what supports would be in my best interest as we mediated the final details. While divorce can be pricey, having a talented attorney like Cathy without a doubt saved me a great deal of money in the long run. Besides being an outstanding talented attorney, Cathy is a person of integrity, compassion and honor. If you are in need of an attorney, you can feel confident that she would be an advocate who would support you in achieving your goals. I feel very lucky that Cathy was recommended to me, that she agreed to represent me and am delighted to have this forum to share my experience with this talented lady.

Cathy was absolutely fabulous to work with during this difficult time. She took the time to explain everything to me ranging from legal terms to what was best for my situation that I found confusing. Cathy always triple checked messages, paperwork, and numbers to make sure that everything was accurate. Not only was Cathy patient and thorough with my case, she showed great compassion! I highly recommend her if you are in need of a divorce attorney.

I was referred to Cathy from a friend years ago. I called her in an emergency child custody situation. After a phone discussion she met me at the courthouse the morning of trial and stood up and won a temporary child custody order. After we had a chance to get to know one another I learned Cathy is very honest and hard working. She helped me win custody and saved myself and my kids from a bad situation. Recently I needed Cathy's services again in a divorce case. Once again Cathy put together a very strong case. She is very thorough, very organized, and prepared. I have and will continue to recommend Cathy to anyone who needs an attorney.

Cathy is a hard working and dedicated attorney. I was referred to Cathy by a good friend to represent me in my divorce. My divorce was challenging, however Cathy took the time to explain the process and was instrumental in successfully representing me. Cathy always took the time to keep me informed of all proceedings and made herself available to answer my questions. I would strongly recommend Cathy to anyone who is looking for a professional attorney.

My case was far from average and extremely labor intensive lasting eight years, seven post divorce. There were times when my situation did not have precedence and Cathy had to dig deep to support my case and find ways to keep my situation preserved, and she did, very capably. She pursued through an eight hour divorce trial and post divorce property settlement that lasted through stressful hours of debate, research, argument, with many hours of clarification to me so that I clearly understood the legal aspect of what was transpiring in my case, with much patience on her part. Cathy also went the extra mile until the very end where a final settlement property, that was unbelievably drawn out, where I was finally able to gain closure after years of intense stress and anxiety. Her patience, professionalism, and support was outstanding during these past years and kept me from going over the deep end many times over. Cathy is not only an intelligent, competent, efficient, authoritative attorney, she is also a very supportive and caring human being. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for legal services in her specialty. I'm deeply grateful.

Cathy has been my attorney for 3 years during a highly emotional custody case in Skagit County. She handled it with compassion, tact, and forethought about how each issue may affect my future relationship with my child. She is very hard working, caring, knows the facts, and fought harder in my case than I ever imagined she would...all on my behalf. Cathy has strong business skills to complement her legal practice; her extensive knowledge of financial issues superseded the other party saving me thousands of dollars in child support. I found her billing to be honest and accurate as compared to other experiences with attorneys in Skagit County. During my case, she negotiated aggressively with opposing party to agree on issues out of court saving me additional stress and money. Other professionals involved in my case commented on Cathy's professionalism and skill with complex family law issues, especially in the courtroom. I have already referred Cathy for other business and will not hesitate to call her again.

I was given Cathy's name as a recommendation. I feel fortunate that she was the one who represented me - she is an extremely hard working attorney. She packs value into every minute she works for you. It may be her prior background in finance, as she is great at keeping her eye on the bottom line. The statements that came from her office were clear and the accounting easy to understand. Not knowing how much time would be needed or money I was going to spend, I told her that I appreciated what a good steward of the money she was. I felt she handled my money in a very responsible manner We had very different styles, and it took a bit of time to get into a rhythm. Sometimes you can mean he exact same thing when communicating with someone, but you each process things differently. As time went on, I gained more and more respect for her and was proud to have her represent me. She is honest, fair, pragmatic, has high integrity and a noble character. In my case it was a longer process and in many ways I wish I would have known that. When the papers were filed I just assumed in ninety days it would be over.

She pursued through an eight hour divorce trial and post divorce property settlement that lasted through stressful hours of debate, research, argument, with many hours of clarification to me so that I clearly understood the legal aspect of what was transpiring in my case, with much patience on her part. Cathy also went the extra mile until the very end where a final settlement property, that was unbelievably drawn out, where I was finally able to gain closure after years of intense stress and anxiety. Her patience, professionalism, and support was outstanding during these past years and kept me from going over the deep end many times over. Cathy is not only an intelligent, competent, efficient, authoritative attorney, she is also a very supportive and caring human being. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for legal services in her specialty. I'm deeply grateful.

Cathy has been my attorney for 3 years during a highly emotional custody case in Skagit County. She handled it with compassion, tact, and forethought about how each issue may affect my future relationship with my child. She is very hard working, caring, knows the facts, and fought harder in my case than I ever imagined she would...all on my behalf. Cathy has strong business skills to complement her legal practice; her extensive knowledge of financial issues superseded the other party saving me thousands of dollars in child support. I found her billing to be honest and accurate as compared to other experiences with attorneys in Skagit County. During my case, she negotiated aggressively with opposing party to agree on issues out of court saving me additional stress and money. Other professionals involved in my case commented on Cathy's professionalism and skill with complex family law issues, especially in the courtroom. I have already referred Cathy for other business and will not hesitate to call her again.

I was given Cathy's name as a recommendation. I feel fortunate that she was the one who represented me - she is an extremely hard working attorney. She packs value into every minute she works for you. It may be her prior background in finance, as she is great at keeping her eye on the bottom line. The statements that came from her office were clear and the accounting easy to understand. Not knowing how much time would be needed or money I was going to spend, I told her that I appreciated what a good steward of the money she was. I felt she handled my money in a very responsible manner We had very different styles, and it took a bit of time to get into a rhythm. Sometimes you can mean he exact same thing when communicating with someone, but you each process things differently. As time went on, I gained more and more respect for her and was proud to have her represent me. She is honest, fair, pragmatic, has high integrity and a noble character. In my case it was a longer process and in many ways I wish I would have known that. When the papers were filed I just assumed in ninety days it would be over. So any e-mail I received made me nervous. It's such a hard place to be especially after a long marriage. So many times it felt overwhelming. I wish I could have looked a bit further ahead as it's okay, I'm okay and in fact happier than I've been in years. There are new opportunities and once you work through things, your life can be so much better. I give her my highest recommendation.

Here’s why I chose Cathy Guthrie to represent me after our first meeting. She was obviously someone who knew the court system, especially at the local level. She asked the hard hitting questions that I didn’t expect. She didn’t try to make me feel good about myself or my choice to consider hiring her. She wanted to know the facts and told me the court wasn’t the place for emotional sparring with my son’s mother. She told me what I was asking for wasn’t going to be easy but it was possible. She didn’t immediately say she’d represent me. Obviously my money wasn’t her main interest. I left her office thinking that she would only represent me if I had been honest with her, which I was. She ultimately agreed to represent me and for a while in the beginning I think she was still trying to decide if I was being truthful with her. In the end my son’s mother and I agreed on a Parenting Plan that maximized our son’s time with both of us and neither paid child support. Since 2002 Cathy Guthrie has represented two more times in this matter. Most recently a motion began in 2009 and was settled in 2010 where I was given sole custody of my son. It was a long hard case where again Cathy kept me on track and my emotions in check. In 2012 I again hired Cathy to represent me. I was tired of the petty issues raised by the other party and wanted the matter to end as soon as possible. Cathy did what she does best. She listened to what I wanted and after reviewing the matter she presented the facts to the court and the matter was stopped at the first hearing. I would recommend Cathy Guthrie to anyone seeking the best family law attorney. She works hard and demands the same from her associates (they too deliver). She will tell you what to expect and she will do her best to keep things simple and on track. If you want someone to hold your hand and tell you everything is going to be just fine then I will tell you to look elsewhere. If you’re willing to listen and do what she says you won’t find a better family Law attorney to represent you. No matter the outcome, considering everything, you’ll be in the best position to be in for you and your family.

Cathy willingly took my case, which was extremely complicated. She worked phenomenally hard, and put in countless hours to help my family. Cathy truly is an advocate for her clients; I have, and will continue to recommend her legal services.

After thinking about the recommendation I wrote for Cathy last night, I realized I had omitted one critical point that is important to share. There were many times during my divorce that I felt I may never be okay again as my ex-husband and the original attorney both lacked a moral and ethical compass. Cathy assured me that I not only would I be ok, but I would be a stronger and better person when this was over. She was right. But even more important, she made sure that I got my life back! Cathy is awesome!

I am glad to have the opportunity to share my wonderful experience of working with Cathy on my long, complicated, difficult and emotional divorce. While the details of my divorce were nightmarish from the beginning, Cathy was a beacon of light each step of the way in navigating the legal process using her extensive experience, knowledge of family law and professional work ethic. Cathy placed a high value in being certain there was clarity in my understanding throughout the process. She is diligent about details and tenacious in her representation. Each time we were in court, it was evident that she is highly respected and esteemed for her superb ethics, professional knowledge and thorough presentations not only by her colleagues, but also by the many good people who work in all levels of the Snohomish County Court System. Cathy was consistently insightful and transparent in supporting me to evaluate what expenses and services would be prudent to pursue and which would not be money well spent. In addition, she was always cognizant of ways to keep legal costs down by guiding me in providing her with exactly what was needed, keeping our contacts direct and purposeful and using her legal staff to do as much of the leg work as possible. Cathy was also visionary in looking “beyond” the divorce and what supports would be in my best interest as we mediated the final details. While divorce can be pricey, having a talented attorney like Cathy without a doubt saved me a great deal of money in the long run. Besides being an outstanding talented attorney, Cathy is a person of integrity, compassion and honor. If you are in need of an attorney, you can feel confident that she would be an advocate who would support you in achieving your goals. I feel very lucky that Cathy was recommended to me, that she agreed to represent me and am delighted to have this forum to share my experience with this talented lady.

Cathy was absolutely fabulous to work with during this difficult time. She took the time to explain everything to me ranging from legal terms to what was best for my situation that I found confusing. Cathy always triple checked messages, paperwork, and numbers to make sure that everything was accurate. Not only was Cathy patient and thorough with my case, she showed great compassion! I highly recommend her if you are in need of a divorce attorney.

I was referred to Cathy from a friend years ago. I called her in an emergency child custody situation. After a phone discussion she met me at the courthouse the morning of trial and stood up and won a temporary child custody order. After we had a chance to get to know one another I learned Cathy is very honest and hard working. She helped me win custody and saved myself and my kids from a bad situation. Recently I needed Cathy's services again in a divorce case. Once again Cathy put together a very strong case. She is very thorough, very organized, and prepared. I have and will continue to recommend Cathy to anyone who needs an attorney.

Cathy is a hard working and dedicated attorney. I was referred to Cathy by a good friend to represent me in my divorce. My divorce was challenging, however Cathy took the time to explain the process and was instrumental in successfully representing me. Cathy always took the time to keep me informed of all proceedings and made herself available to answer my questions. I would strongly recommend Cathy to anyone who is looking for a professional attorney.

My case was far from average and extremely labor intensive lasting eight years, seven post divorce.

Cathy was consistently insightful and transparent in supporting me to evaluate what expenses and services would be prudent to pursue and which would not be money well spent. In addition, she was always cognizant of ways to keep legal costs down by guiding me in providing her with exactly what was needed, keeping our contacts direct and purposeful and using her legal staff to do as much of the leg work as possible. Cathy was also visionary in looking “beyond” the divorce and what supports would be in my best interest as we mediated the final details. While divorce can be pricey, having a talented attorney like Cathy without a doubt saved me a great deal of money in the long run. Besides being an outstanding talented attorney, Cathy is a person of integrity, compassion and honor. If you are in need of an attorney, you can feel confident that she would be an advocate who would support you in achieving your goals. I feel very lucky that Cathy was recommended to me, that she agreed to represent me and am delighted to have this forum to share my experience with this talented lady.

Cathy was absolutely fabulous to work with during this difficult time. She took the time to explain everything to me ranging from legal terms to what was best for my situation that I found confusing. Cathy always triple checked messages, paperwork, and numbers to make sure that everything was accurate. Not only was Cathy patient and thorough with my case, she showed great compassion! I highly recommend her if you are in need of a divorce attorney.

I was referred to Cathy from a friend years ago. I called her in an emergency child custody situation. After a phone discussion she met me at the courthouse the morning of trial and stood up and won a temporary child custody order. After we had a chance to get to know one another I learned Cathy is very honest and hard working. She helped me win custody and saved myself and my kids from a bad situation. Recently I needed Cathy's services again in a divorce case. Once again Cathy put together a very strong case. She is very thorough, very organized, and prepared. I have and will continue to recommend Cathy to anyone who needs an attorney.

Cathy is a hard working and dedicated attorney. I was referred to Cathy by a good friend to represent me in my divorce. My divorce was challenging, however Cathy took the time to explain the process and was instrumental in successfully representing me. Cathy always took the time to keep me informed of all proceedings and made herself available to answer my questions. I would strongly recommend Cathy to anyone who is looking for a professional attorney.

My case was far from average and extremely labor intensive lasting eight years, seven post divorce. There were times when my situation did not have precedence and Cathy had to dig deep to support my case and find ways to keep my situation preserved, and she did, very capably. She pursued through an eight hour divorce trial and post divorce property settlement that lasted through stressful hours of debate, research, argument, with many hours of clarification to me so that I clearly understood the legal aspect of what was transpiring in my case, with much patience on her part. Cathy also went the extra mile until the very end where a final settlement property, that was unbelievably drawn out, where I was finally able to gain closure after years of intense stress and anxiety. Her patience, professionalism, and support was outstanding during these past years and kept me from going over the deep end many times over. Cathy is not only an intelligent, competent, efficient, authoritative attorney, she is also a very supportive and caring human being. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for legal services in her specialty. I'm deeply grateful.

Cathy has been my attorney for 3 years during a highly emotional custody case in Skagit County. She handled it with compassion, tact, and forethought about how each issue may affect my future relationship with my child. She is very hard working, caring, knows the facts, and fought harder in my case than I ever imagined she would...all on my behalf. Cathy has strong business skills to complement her legal practice; her extensive knowledge of financial issues superseded the other party saving me thousands of dollars in child support. I found her billing to be honest and accurate as compared to other experiences with attorneys in Skagit County. During my case, she negotiated aggressively with opposing party to agree on issues out of court saving me additional stress and money. Other professionals involved in my case commented on Cathy's professionalism and skill with complex family law issues, especially in the courtroom. I have already referred Cathy for other business and will not hesitate to call her again.

I was given Cathy's name as a recommendation. I feel fortunate that she was the one who represented me - she is an extremely hard working attorney. She packs value into every minute she works for you. It may be her prior background in finance, as she is great at keeping her eye on the bottom line. The statements that came from her office were clear and the accounting easy to understand. Not knowing how much time would be needed or money I was going to spend, I told her that I appreciated what a good steward of the money she was. I felt she handled my money in a very responsible manner We had very different styles, and it took a bit of time to get into a rhythm. Sometimes you can mean he exact same thing when communicating with someone, but you each process things differently. As time went on, I gained more and more respect for her and was proud to have her represent me. She is honest, fair, pragmatic, has high integrity and a noble character. In my case it was a longer process and in many ways I wish I would have known that. When the papers were filed I just assumed in ninety days it would be over. So any e-mail I received made me nervous. It's such a hard place to be especially after a long marriage. So many times it felt overwhelming. I wish I could have looked a bit further ahead as it's okay, I'm okay and in fact happier than I've been in years. There are new opportunities and once you work through things, your life can be so much better. I give her my highest recommendation.

Here’s why I chose Cathy Guthrie to represent me after our first meeting. She was obviously someone who knew the court system, especially at the local level. She asked the hard hitting questions that I didn’t expect. She didn’t try to make me feel good about myself or my choice to consider hiring her. She wanted to know the facts and told me the court wasn’t the place for emotional sparring with my son’s mother. She told me what I was asking for wasn’t going to be easy but it was possible. She didn’t immediately say she’d represent me. Obviously my money wasn’t her main interest. I left her office thinking that she would only represent me if I had been honest with her, which I was. She ultimately agreed to represent me and for a while in the beginning I think she was still trying to decide if I was being truthful with her. In the end my son’s mother and I agreed on a Parenting Plan that maximized our son’s time with both of us and neither paid child support. Since 2002 Cathy Guthrie has represented two more times in this matter. Most recently a motion began in 2009 and was settled in 2010 where I was given sole custody of my son. It was a long hard case where again Cathy kept me on track and my emotions in check. In 2012 I again hired Cathy to represent me. I was tired of the petty issues raised by the other party and wanted the matter to end as soon as possible. Cathy did what she does best. She listened to what I wanted and after reviewing the matter she presented the facts to the court and the matter was stopped at the first hearing. I would recommend Cathy Guthrie to anyone seeking the best family law attorney. She works hard and demands the same from her associates (they too deliver). She will tell you what to expect and she will do her best to keep things simple and on track. If you want someone to hold your hand and tell you everything is going to be just fine then I will tell you to look elsewhere. If you’re willing to listen and do what she says you won’t find a better family Law attorney to represent you. No matter the outcome, considering everything, you’ll be in the best position to be in for you and your family.

Cathy willingly took my case, which was extremely complicated. She worked phenomenally hard, and put in countless hours to help my family. Cathy truly is an advocate for her clients; I have, and will continue to recommend her legal services.

After thinking about the recommendation I wrote for Cathy last night, I realized I had omitted one critical point that is important to share. There were many times during my divorce that I felt I may never be okay again as my ex-husband and the original attorney both lacked a moral and ethical compass. Cathy assured me that I not only would I be ok, but I would be a stronger and better person when this was over. She was right. But even more important, she made sure that I got my life back! Cathy is awesome!

I am glad to have the opportunity to share my wonderful experience of working with Cathy on my long, complicated, difficult and emotional divorce. While the details of my divorce were nightmarish from the beginning, Cathy was a beacon of light each step of the way in navigating the legal process using her extensive experience, knowledge of family law and professional work ethic. Cathy placed a high value in being certain there was clarity in my understanding throughout the process. She is diligent about details and tenacious in her representation. Each time we were in court, it was evident that she is highly respected and esteemed for her superb ethics, professional knowledge and thorough presentations not only by her colleagues, but also by the many good people who work in all levels of the Snohomish County Court System.

In the end my son’s mother and I agreed on a Parenting Plan that maximized our son’s time with both of us and neither paid child support. Since 2002 Cathy Guthrie has represented two more times in this matter. Most recently a motion began in 2009 and was settled in 2010 where I was given sole custody of my son. It was a long hard case where again Cathy kept me on track and my emotions in check. In 2012 I again hired Cathy to represent me. I was tired of the petty issues raised by the other party and wanted the matter to end as soon as possible. Cathy did what she does best. She listened to what I wanted and after reviewing the matter she presented the facts to the court and the matter was stopped at the first hearing. I would recommend Cathy Guthrie to anyone seeking the best family law attorney. She works hard and demands the same from her associates (they too deliver). She will tell you what to expect and she will do her best to keep things simple and on track. If you want someone to hold your hand and tell you everything is going to be just fine then I will tell you to look elsewhere. If you’re willing to listen and do what she says you won’t find a better family Law attorney to represent you. No matter the outcome, considering everything, you’ll be in the best position to be in for you and your family.

Cathy willingly took my case, which was extremely complicated. She worked phenomenally hard, and put in countless hours to help my family. Cathy truly is an advocate for her clients; I have, and will continue to recommend her legal services.

After thinking about the recommendation I wrote for Cathy last night, I realized I had omitted one critical point that is important to share. There were many times during my divorce that I felt I may never be okay again as my ex-husband and the original attorney both lacked a moral and ethical compass. Cathy assured me that I not only would I be ok, but I would be a stronger and better person when this was over. She was right. But even more important, she made sure that I got my life back! Cathy is awesome!

I am glad to have the opportunity to share my wonderful experience of working with Cathy on my long, complicated, difficult and emotional divorce. While the details of my divorce were nightmarish from the beginning, Cathy was a beacon of light each step of the way in navigating the legal process using her extensive experience, knowledge of family law and professional work ethic. Cathy placed a high value in being certain there was clarity in my understanding throughout the process. She is diligent about details and tenacious in her representation. Each time we were in court, it was evident that she is highly respected and esteemed for her superb ethics, professional knowledge and thorough presentations not only by her colleagues, but also by the many good people who work in all levels of the Snohomish County Court System. Cathy was consistently insightful and transparent in supporting me to evaluate what expenses and services would be prudent to pursue and which would not be money well spent. In addition, she was always cognizant of ways to keep legal costs down by guiding me in providing her with exactly what was needed, keeping our contacts direct and purposeful and using her legal staff to do as much of the leg work as possible. Cathy was also visionary in looking “beyond” the divorce and what supports would be in my best interest as we mediated the final details. While divorce can be pricey, having a talented attorney like Cathy without a doubt saved me a great deal of money in the long run. Besides being an outstanding talented attorney, Cathy is a person of integrity, compassion and honor. If you are in need of an attorney, you can feel confident that she would be an advocate who would support you in achieving your goals. I feel very lucky that Cathy was recommended to me, that she agreed to represent me and am delighted to have this forum to share my experience with this talented lady.

Cathy was absolutely fabulous to work with during this difficult time. She took the time to explain everything to me ranging from legal terms to what was best for my situation that I found confusing. Cathy always triple checked messages, paperwork, and numbers to make sure that everything was accurate. Not only was Cathy patient and thorough with my case, she showed great compassion! I highly recommend her if you are in need of a divorce attorney.

I was referred to Cathy from a friend years ago. I called her in an emergency child custody situation. After a phone discussion she met me at the courthouse the morning of trial and stood up and won a temporary child custody order. After we had a chance to get to know one another I learned Cathy is very honest and hard working. She helped me win custody and saved myself and my kids from a bad situation. Recently I needed Cathy's services again in a divorce case. Once again Cathy put together a very strong case. She is very thorough, very organized, and prepared. I have and will continue to recommend Cathy to anyone who needs an attorney.

Cathy is a hard working and dedicated attorney. I was referred to Cathy by a good friend to represent me in my divorce. My divorce was challenging, however Cathy took the time to explain the process and was instrumental in successfully representing me. Cathy always took the time to keep me informed of all proceedings and made herself available to answer my questions. I would strongly recommend Cathy to anyone who is looking for a professional attorney.

My case was far from average and extremely labor intensive lasting eight years, seven post divorce. There were times when my situation did not have precedence and Cathy had to dig deep to support my case and find ways to keep my situation preserved, and she did, very capably. She pursued through an eight hour divorce trial and post divorce property settlement that lasted through stressful hours of debate, research, argument, with many hours of clarification to me so that I clearly understood the legal aspect of what was transpiring in my case, with much patience on her part. Cathy also went the extra mile until the very end where a final settlement property, that was unbelievably drawn out, where I was finally able to gain closure after years of intense stress and anxiety. Her patience, professionalism, and support was outstanding during these past years and kept me from going over the deep end many times over. Cathy is not only an intelligent, competent, efficient, authoritative attorney, she is also a very supportive and caring human being. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for legal services in her specialty. I'm deeply grateful.

Cathy has been my attorney for 3 years during a highly emotional custody case in Skagit County. She handled it with compassion, tact, and forethought about how each issue may affect my future relationship with my child. She is very hard working, caring, knows the facts, and fought harder in my case than I ever imagined she would...all on my behalf. Cathy has strong business skills to complement her legal practice; her extensive knowledge of financial issues superseded the other party saving me thousands of dollars in child support. I found her billing to be honest and accurate as compared to other experiences with attorneys in Skagit County. During my case, she negotiated aggressively with opposing party to agree on issues out of court saving me additional stress and money. Other professionals involved in my case commented on Cathy's professionalism and skill with complex family law issues, especially in the courtroom. I have already referred Cathy for other business and will not hesitate to call her again.

I was given Cathy's name as a recommendation. I feel fortunate that she was the one who represented me - she is an extremely hard working attorney. She packs value into every minute she works for you. It may be her prior background in finance, as she is great at keeping her eye on the bottom line. The statements that came from her office were clear and the accounting easy to understand. Not knowing how much time would be needed or money I was going to spend, I told her that I appreciated what a good steward of the money she was. I felt she handled my money in a very responsible manner We had very different styles, and it took a bit of time to get into a rhythm. Sometimes you can mean he exact same thing when communicating with someone, but you each process things differently. As time went on, I gained more and more respect for her and was proud to have her represent me. She is honest, fair, pragmatic, has high integrity and a noble character. In my case it was a longer process and in many ways I wish I would have known that. When the papers were filed I just assumed in ninety days it would be over. So any e-mail I received made me nervous. It's such a hard place to be especially after a long marriage. So many times it felt overwhelming. I wish I could have looked a bit further ahead as it's okay, I'm okay and in fact happier than I've been in years. There are new opportunities and once you work through things, your life can be so much better. I give her my highest recommendation.

Here’s why I chose Cathy Guthrie to represent me after our first meeting. She was obviously someone who knew the court system, especially at the local level. She asked the hard hitting questions that I didn’t expect. She didn’t try to make me feel good about myself or my choice to consider hiring her. She wanted to know the facts and told me the court wasn’t the place for emotional sparring with my son’s mother. She told me what I was asking for wasn’t going to be easy but it was possible. She didn’t immediately say she’d represent me. Obviously my money wasn’t her main interest. I left her office thinking that she would only represent me if I had been honest with her, which I was. She ultimately agreed to represent me and for a while in the beginning I think she was still trying to decide if I was being truthful with her. In the end my son’s mother and I agreed on a Parenting Plan that maximized our son’s time with both of us and neither paid child support.

If you’re willing to listen and do what she says you won’t find a better family Law attorney to represent you. No matter the outcome, considering everything, you’ll be in the best position to be in for you and your family.

Cathy willingly took my case, which was extremely complicated. She worked phenomenally hard, and put in countless hours to help my family. Cathy truly is an advocate for her clients; I have, and will continue to recommend her legal services.
