I guess we got lucky. I never thought we’d need a lawyer, but we did. We are so very very thankful that we found Katherine. For more than 3 years, she guided us through myriad issues, hearings, and considerations that would have left us stunned and bewildered without her help. I will always remember her manner in the courtroom: utterly calm, focused, and deliberate. My co-parent rolled through lawyer after lawyer, and with each new one, we only became more PROUD, relieved, and grateful that Katherine was by our side. She was always well-prepared, she was always thorough, she was always available. She took setbacks in stride, and remained guided by the big picture. I will be eternally grateful for her services, I cannot recommend her more highly.
After my consultation, it was clear Katherine was the one I wanted to be on my side! She made my legal separation quick and painless. She worked great with my ex and was able to communicate between us to make it work smoothly. With clear and precise documents drawn up and everything explained in detail with good insight on issues and answering all questions promptly, she is an amazing lawyer that I would happily work with again!
Katherine made very short work of my divorce, during the height of Covid none the less. She didn't take any crap from my ex, and made sure our deal was fair. Very easy to get along with. Highly recommend her to anybody.
Katherine Fontenot is amazing! She was not only knowledgeable, but also incredibly compassionate. Maneuvering through the divorce process was the hardest thing I ever did and I could not have done it without her expertise and support.
Katherine Fontenot was a wonderful choice to help me through the emotional and complicated divorce process. I always felt that she cared for my interests, listened to my concerns, and I believe that she represented me in the best possible way. Divorce is expensive, and I felt like Katherine was sensitive to my financial issues and respected my request to keep my expenses as minimal as possible. You should be represented when going through a divorce with children, and Katherine will help you in a professional and kind manner. I was grateful to have her.
Before my ex and I split up he had threatened to take me to court for custody of our child and he had told me that he had an attorney. When we finally separated for good I wanted to make sure that I was not going into a custody battle unprepared. I met with Katherine the Monday after the break up and went into the office hysterical. She was able to calm me down and get me thinking logically again. She discussed a few outcomes of similar cases she has seen as well as let me know how she thought my case could turn out. I ended up hiring her and started the process for parenting time shortly after that. She was really good with not running the bill up with unnecessary phone calls and emails. She also would prep me for the couple of hearings that we had. The whole thing ended up being much easier that I initially anticipated. After everything was said and done she gave me a few tips to take with me in the event that my ex and I stopped being cordial. Katherine took care of everything and made my life much easier through the whole case. I am very happy I hired her.
I needed someone experienced and able to dive into my divorce/civil union case ASAP. Katherine was not only comforting and offered immediate advice, but she was willing to go through everything quickly and help me by attending mediation with me that same week. Katherine was incredibly responsive and walked me through the process as it unfolded and in advance of anything happening; I never felt unprepared or blindsided. I was going to represent myself until the end of my case, but needed help mid-way through, and I am so glad I hired Katherine. She was a lifesaver. I highly recommend Katherine to anyone seeking short-term/unbundled services or someone to represent them from onset. She was professional, understanding, direct and personable. She has my highest recommendation.
Katherine was my attorney and the outcome was mediocre. Seemed more interested in pleasing the mediator and opposing counsel, not advocating on my behalf.
