A really good divorce attorney. I know a handful and she’s the only one I ever recommend to friends or family. Quality attorney who knows her cases. She always remembered my kids names and what they are into. I think that makes a real difference
Kate is a strong attorney. She and her team were well-prepared and I am glad they were in my corner. Custody and child support were a lot easier than I thought. Highly recommend
Kate did a terrific job of negotiating a workable co-parenting arrangement for me and my former partner. I didn't think we could reach and conclusion but Kate got I done. I felt comfortable being open with her and she's an attorney who actually returns calls and emails on time.
Kate negotiated a situation for my family and saved me a lot of unnecessary legal bills, time and energy. I appreciate that she got the job done swiftly and always kept me in the loop with email updates. She stands out as an honest and very professional young attorney and I would recommend her highly.
Kate is a rare attorney, one who truly cares about her clients and their kids. She is the reason that my divorce went as smoothly as it did.My ex-wife and I are able to co-parent because of Kate's mediation skills and strength in negotiation. I feel good about the outcome I wholeheartedly recommend her, two thumbs up!
Katherine made what could have been a hard and embarrassing divorce a simple and straight-forward process. I was able to talk to her openly about my personal issues in this case and felt that she truly cared. She was able to turn all the paperwork around very quickly and get my divorce handled in a very timely manner.
