Erin is such a fantastic lawyer. I’ve worked with her for years over my lengthy divorce. Every step of the way she’s been on top of it all. Never a procrastinated moment, and always 3 steps ahead of the process. It really is because of her that I came out on the right side of the dirt from my divorce/custody battle, and I am forever thankful. If you are ever looking for a divorce attorney, I swear by Erin, she will make sure you are taken care of.

I worked with the team of Katie, Yomary and Sara and from the moment of the consultation I knew that these were the people for me. They were all very caring and sensitive for the difficult position that I was in, offered great advice and were incredibly patient and supportive the entire time. I doubt I could have found a better team to represent me anywhere.

Katie Johnson and her assistant Yomari were wonderful and supportive through a long a tough ordeal. I’m grateful for them and I highly recommend Mrs Johnson for any family law issues

If I could give this law office a negative rating, I would. My experience with Ms. Johnson and her team has been extremely frustrating. I came to this firm after having a very bad experience with my previous attorney and specifically told Ms Johnson and her paralegal Yomary that communication was very important to me. I don't have a usual divorce case and I have not received the support that was promised. I can NEVER speak to anyone on the phone, in order for me to get any responses I have to leave multiple voicemails, send multiple emails, and have had to actually go to their office a couple of times because they were unresponsive. I understand that attorneys are constantly out of the office, and they have tried to use the end of the year as an excuse, but this is a law firm with a support group, so they should have a system in place to support clients when their attorney is not available, especially when the client expresses concern over their current situation. And, the retainer fee is set as non refundable on the contract, so if you are unsatisfied with the services, you will not be able to terminate the contract. Going through a divorce is an extremely traumatic life event, and unfortunately I trusted this firm to help me through this difficult time, after already having a negative experience with another lawyer, but they have just added to the chain of frustrating, difficult events I have had to endure. Please look elsewhere if you want your case to be treated with the attention that it deserves.

After enduring some adversities in my life that were emotionally and physically jarring, I found myself at my lowest point. Stress and worry had taken the place where joy once resided. That all changed when I met a brilliant and talented individual, Katherine. She welcomed me with kindness and took genuine interest in me and my situation. After my first meeting with her I immediately recognized this woman's passion and skill. Her knowledge in family law is exceptional, she is truly gifted not only in her field, but in how she interacts with people. She is patient, compassionate, and takes a genuine interest in you as a person and as her client. Reflecting on where I was two years ago compared to now, I am happy and find joy in the things I do. I never would've imagined finding peace, but in truth, it would not have been possible without the grace and kindness of such an amazing person. I appreciate the continued support and dedication that she gives. I strongly recommend Katherine and her firm.

I was referred to Kathryn via a close family friend to handle my divorce. I had been married for 22 years. From the moment I met Kathryn I knew the referral to her was a perfect match for me. Throughout this extremely emotional and horrific chapter of my and my daughter's lives, Kathryn was a true light. She was always professional, knowledgeable and extremely prepared for each and every step. And though she is truly a highly skilled attorney, i also witnessed her incredible compassion. There was never a moment that i truly didn't feel that she really cared about the outcome for me and my girls. Divorce is traumatic and life altering. Especially when it comes out of nowhere. To have an advocate that you know without question TRULY CARES about your outcome is a blessing. I also want to add that Yomary, Kathryn's legal assistant, was also a blessing. There was never an email, text, or phone call that wasn't replied to immediately, and lord did i send them all in abundance! Kathryn replied immediately if she was not in a depo or mediation and if not Kathryn it was Yomary. Finally, i will say that to get through this depressing mess one needs to always have some humor and Yomary and Kathryn would help me laugh every time. It too is a requirement. There really are not enough words i can say about these two outstanding women. I could not have asked for a better outcome when this was all over. My girls and I have begun our new chapter and are able to do so in such a positive way SOLELY because of the talents and compassion of Kathryn and Yomary. Again, they are a blessing.

Erin Southerland helped me throughout my entire divorce. She treated me with respect and answered all my legal questions in a way that I could understand. The whole firm was so nice and always answered my emails/calls within 24 hours. The paralegals, Emily and Mia, were always on top of their game and let me know the exact steps to take to get items in order for everything. Thank you so much to your firm!

She's great and understands me very well

I truly don't even know where to begin, finding Mr. Joseph Alvarez was more than a blessing. He saved my life and my babies' lives. He believed in me and gave me hopes from the very first meeting, when over eleven other attorneys told me to get comfortable with the idea of a certain outcome, one that I wasn't willing to settle for. My kids deserved better. Mr Alvarez was honest, direct, kind and you would have thought it was your brother fighting for your life. If you think your case is difficult and you've heard many "no's" just give this firm a chance to prove them wrong. I owe Mr. Joe so much, he not only won my case and got me more than what I wanted, but he got my kids and I the peace of mind that I will never be able to truly repay. I can probably sit here and talk for hours about how wonderful, professional, and talented Mr. Joe and this law firm are. You will not regret your decision to go with them! Don't let bullies get you scared, you can do this and you will come out successful. Thank you Mr. Joe, from the bottom of my heart, forever grateful that I found you.
