Ms. McLaughlin was recommended to me by a friend in San Diego. You will be hard pressed to find a lawyer with the moxie she has to stand up to any giant. She grasped the complexity and beat them on their own turf! knew I was out gunned and that I needed a barracuda to get through the three attorneys my ex spouse had hired with near infinite funds on his side. It was a complex process complicated by a 3,000 mile distance. I am still amazed by her talent and strategic skills. Thank you, Ms. McLaughlin, I am forever grateful. I know that I was an emotional mess to deal with.

An attorney friend recommended Kathleen when my marriage of 44 years failed. Kathleen proved to be exactly the attorney I needed. My spouse was a retired CPA and consequently had handled all of our finances. Kathleen was tenacious and thorough in getting the necessary financial information needed to ensure a fair and equitable settlement. I was able to call her with any question and know that her answer was the correct one. She researched and got outside expertise when necessary. She was always available and responded quickly to my calls. I always knew where we were in the process. Kathleen provided me with names and numbers of people in other fields who were able to advise and assist in my decision making going forward. Most importantly, during the most devastating time in my life, Kathleen was the person I could trust to advocate for me. She was strong and supportive during those times when I just wanted to crawl in a hole. She got me a fair financial settlement and she has made sure that I am protected going forward. I now know that the death of my marriage was not unlike the death of a spouse. I was operating on fear and anger and not in a position to think of all the things that would ensure my future. Kathleen did that. We had one court appearance, and watching Kathleen recite the facts of my case and quote the case law that was pertinent was reassuring, and she did prevail. When things got really ugly, and I was at my most vulnerable, it was Kathleen who did not falter. She was always ethical in her dealings with all parties. She was prepared for every meeting, and she was thorough in her research, etc. I would recommend her without reservation to anyone in need of an attorney who is knowledgeable, professional and willing to go the extra mile to ensure a fair and favorable outcome.
