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.

I hired Katherine when I felt overwhelmed by the legal system. She walked me through the process and was always there to explain everything. She is a true professional. She was able to work with opposing counsel and achieve the goals of both parties. I would high recommend her.

Katherine is a good person but doesn't know how to collaborate. She is more concerned about protecting herself - forcing asynchronous communication via email - than representing her client. She refused to meet in person and often refused to talk on the phone, stating she was "too busy" and would force dialogue to email. She would then provide pushback on requests, without providing alternatives, simultaneously misinterpreting the communication (surprise - it's email). So what should have been a simple 15 minute dialogue on phone or in person became a 10-day email interaction that literally cost thousands of dollars. Ironically, when it was advantageous to her desired course of action, she would suddenly be available to talk on the phone or meet in person... but this never happened if I disagreed (or even had questions about) her suggested course of action -- during that time, she was always unavailable. And since every course of action has a stopwatch associated with it, it was obvious that Katherine was using stonewalling as a technique to force her way. While Katherine is good at writing briefs and took time to digest all the information I emailed her, this can only be effective to an extent, without further dialogue and F2F communication. Katherine used blatant, neophyte manipulation/control techniques of stonewalling communication when she wanted to force a particular course of action and referred to the Judge being unhappy (as a certainty) and threat of jail as other techniques. It was tiresome and made me realize I was dealing with someone very young and still trying to control clients versus collaborate with clients. An obvious aspect of a controlling personality is one who speaks over you when you are talking. Katherine has a very bad habit of interrupting mid-sentence and never allowing one to get a question or thought out. I spent over $12k on Katherine's services and feel half of that was wasted on her inability to communicate (i.e., forcing email dialogue for ten days where a 15-minute phone conversation should suffice). Overall, Katherine successfully helped move my case forward but I fired her because, after expressing my discontent, she did not modify her style but simply said, in essence, "if you don't like how I do things, get another attorney". So I did. I feel I am a very tolerant person, but I expect professionals who are hired to represent me, to represent me... not themselves. I hope this review helps other people.
