Katherine was extremely helpful and available for any questions or problems I had. She was also honest with me, even if it wasn’t what I wanted to hear. She made no promises she couldn’t keep, which I value in a lawyer.

Katherine was truly helpful and listened to my needs; she directed me in the right way and ensured I made good solid decisions. In a time that I was anxious and fearful of the divorce process she was also able to keep me well informed, kept me calm, and helped to resolve my divorce, timely. In as much as these life changes are scary, it was nice to know I had a great lawyer who actually listens.

Katherine and her team were very helpful in guiding me throughout my custody and child support case. Katherine was very personable and knowledgeable. I enjoyed working with her and felt like I was in great hands! Communicating with her and her team was simple and they always followed up in a timely matter. I will reach out to them again if I ever need future assistance with the court system. I highly recommend her.

Katherine represented me in my child custody case. Katherine is extremely knowledgeable and caring, she addressed all of my concerns and questions and really went the extra mile. This was an extremely stress full time in my life and Katherine always returned my phone calls promptly even if it was after business hours, as a concerned father I called her a lot and she was always able to calm me down and address my concern and provide sound advice. She is also extremly efficient and got the results that i needed. Overall i would say hiring her was the best decision I made, and i would highly recommend her.

I was fortunate to have Katherine represent me in my divorce as my case was unique and she proved invaluable in resolving it. Specifically, she consistently provided high quality legal guidance that protected my interests and identified potential risks and opportunities. Additionally, she was able to easily communicate the law in a way a normal person like myself could easily understand. Finally, Katherine provided a superior level of customer service (i.e. patiently explaining complicated issues, promptly and thoroughly answering my questions, consistently following-up if I needed anything) that I was pleasantly surprised and impressed with. I would highly recommend Katherine to any of my family or friends and would not hesitate to use her again for any family law matters.

I hired Katherine after my original attorney that handled my divorce retired. I was consistently being taken to the Friend of the Court for support reductions as well as my ex interpreting various loop holes of our original agreement to manipulate situations. Katherine reviewed my original case in depth with me and discussed how I’d like to proceed as well as likely outcomes so I wasn’t surprised. We met at the Friend of the Court and it became clear to me Katherine was well respected and developed a lot of relationships throughout the legal community. She represented me sometimes even alone as the fight over money wasn’t worth my stress and time off work. I trusted her that much. Overall, Katherine did what others could not. She settled my case down so that healing could begin and focus could be on moving forward. I felt so happy with my results I recommended her to one of my closest friends.

While I know no one wishes they were in a situation where they need to hire an attorney, I am very grateful that Katherine was my attorney. She was extremely knowledgeable and made this process as smooth as she could. She handled my divorce and all my concerns with the upmost respect and care. From start to finish I always felt well informed and aware of what the next steps would be. I would highly recommend Katherine.

As an attorney myself, I was looking for a divorce attorney to help me through the process but who would provide me the ability to play an active role in the divorce. Katherine did just that, which is no easy task when the client is also an attorney. At all times, Katherine was helpful, knowledgeable, and responsive. She was also personable, genuinely cared about my divorce, and took the time to listen. I felt confident in both her legal advice and her ability to handle my matter. My main goal was to collaborate with my former spouse when it came to dividing marital assets and outlining the basic terms of our settlement agreement. Katherine artfully balanced my interest in wanting to collaborate with my former spouse (and keep attorney fees low) with protecting my interests throughout the entire process. It was also important to me to have an attorney who represented the type of person I am. Katherine protected my interests and was a zealous advocate without engaging in underhand tactics or gamesmanship. She was respectful and upfront in her dealings with opposing counsel. This quality led to a divorce that allowed an open and respectful discourse with opposing counsel, generated fewer attorney fees, and helped diffuse an emotionally charged process. Another attorney recommended me to Katherine, and I definitely plan on passing along the recommendation.

Katherine handled my divorce proceedings. She was very knowledgeable and I felt she has my best interests in mind. She always responded promptly. I was very happy to have her fight my battle and serve as a go-between. It made the whole process a lot easier. She always laid out the possible courses of action, suggested the best route for me, but executed any route I chose.

I recently rehired Katherine to assist with parenting time/custody matters. My initial experience with her was for divorce. She has always been very helpful, prompt and knowledgeable with all legal aspects. She will always help you to understand what is the best route to take for the best end result. I have been pleased with all that she has provided for me to date.
