Kate was absolutely amazing. My ex husband became very controlling and inflexible in every way. He tried to bully and scare me into agreeing to what he wanted and once I had Kate on my team the tide turned. She showed me the utmost respect and made a very difficult situation much easier. She made my husbands attorneys look very silly in front of the judge exposing all the things he had done to me. I have my life back and I have Kate to thank.

Kate handled my custody and support agreements. She was super pro-active from the very start and always prompt, thorough, and clear in her communications with me and with the opposing council. Her background as a district attorney made her unflappable and extremely effective during our court appearance no matter how unpleasant or aggressive opposing council became. Beyond that, Kate took the time to really get to know me and my situation and made sure that what was most important to me became most important to her as she crafted and reviewed agreements and caught potential long-term loopholes due to loose wording, etc. My case took less than a year and I feel like not only were custody and financial agreements been put in place, I feel like there are long term protections in place for me and my child that may have been missed had Kate not been meticulous in her work. One other thing I appreciated about Kate was that she was very direct about what my chances were on various demands and focused me on what was attainable and worth fighting for and kept me away from demands that would prolong the case but have low chance of positive outcome. Very happy with where I ended up.

Kate became my lawyer after I had a bad experience with my previous lawyer. She jumped into the case and began action on my behalf right away. From her immediate work I was able to obtain an additional ~$150,000 from my ex-husband. Kate had found that he had a "breach of fiduiciary duties" and he was hiding his salary. Following this, Kate handled every challenge we faced in a direct and forthright style. When I was "soft" on an issue, Kate took the time to educate me about what is in my best interst. I never felt rushed or less important than another client. My case has gone on for quite a while. Kate is always there to respond to issues ASAP. My intereactions with her have been fabulous and professional. My stress regarding my case has been greatly reduced knowing that she in on my side. I would not hesitate to reccomend Kate to anyone!

I was unable to obtain a divorce after 10 yrs, 3 lawyers, and many thousands of dollars. Katharine completed my divorce in under a year. I found her to be extremely well organized, on top of my case, thorough, and extremely competent. I would go to Katharine for any legal work needed. She is very, very competent and easy to work with. A great lady!

I was unable to obtain a divorce after 10 yrs, 3 lawyers, and many thousands of dollars. Katharine completed my divorce in under a year. I found her to be extremely well organized, on top of my case, thorough, and extremely competent. I would go to Katharine for any legal work needed. She is very, very competent and easy to work with. A great lady!

Kate was absolutely amazing. My ex husband became very controlling and inflexible in every way. He tried to bully and scare me into agreeing to what he wanted and once I had Kate on my team the tide turned. She showed me the utmost respect and made a very difficult situation much easier. She made my husbands attorneys look very silly in front of the judge exposing all the things he had done to me. I have my life back and I have Kate to thank.

Kate handled my custody and support agreements. She was super pro-active from the very start and always prompt, thorough, and clear in her communications with me and with the opposing council. Her background as a district attorney made her unflappable and extremely effective during our court appearance no matter how unpleasant or aggressive opposing council became. Beyond that, Kate took the time to really get to know me and my situation and made sure that what was most important to me became most important to her as she crafted and reviewed agreements and caught potential long-term loopholes due to loose wording, etc. My case took less than a year and I feel like not only were custody and financial agreements been put in place, I feel like there are long term protections in place for me and my child that may have been missed had Kate not been meticulous in her work. One other thing I appreciated about Kate was that she was very direct about what my chances were on various demands and focused me on what was attainable and worth fighting for and kept me away from demands that would prolong the case but have low chance of positive outcome. Very happy with where I ended up.

Kate became my lawyer after I had a bad experience with my previous lawyer. She jumped into the case and began action on my behalf right away. From her immediate work I was able to obtain an additional ~$150,000 from my ex-husband. Kate had found that he had a "breach of fiduiciary duties" and he was hiding his salary. Following this, Kate handled every challenge we faced in a direct and forthright style. When I was "soft" on an issue, Kate took the time to educate me about what is in my best interst.
