Katina can not change the law to suit you or your needs, but she knows all the ins and outs of it, and how to best present your case to be in your favor, if you are honest about your case and the circumstances. She’s incredibly familiar with the Lane County Court system and how things operate here.
I am grateful to have had her represent me in my divorce. I was very much a mess and likely not the easiest person to work with during the process, I had a difficult time communicating, and trusting(at no fault of Katina's) but she knows the system well and how to navigate it, and is very trustworthy. Katina was very patient with me and advocated for me and my child's safety when very few others would. We got the very best possible outcome in my divorce and custody case thanks to her. More than I had even asked for. She's well worth every penny, and I highly recommend Katina for DV survivors.

Katina took my case during the initial outbreak of COVID related judiciary chaos and unforeseen delays. What would have normally taken 2 weeks took almost 3 months. Despite the extenuating circumstances, Katina graciously honored our original contract and persisted. She handled things with the utmost professionalism and compassion. So very thankful for all of her hard work. Felt good to be vindicated!

I have had Katina as my lawyer during a separation that involved my 5 yr old son at that time. A few years of me not giving up on trying to establish some contact with my son and his father not "allowing" me any contact with him whatsoever. Since I made absolutely no progress of my own, and wanted legal advise, I called upon Katina for legal consult and advice as the biological mother. Katina knows Family Law inside and out and devised for me the best letter requesting what I ask for. She sent it to Texas where father and son have lived for years since he picked up and moved as I was making progress to reconnect with my boy. Just one simple letter finally made an impact and Katina helped me greatly in achieving my simple goal to at least talk to my son who is now 13 yrs old, every other week. I appreciate Katina and her assistant, Sam, to the highest mark.... 110%

Don't waste you time and money! Very hard to get in touch with about my case and never got results. Had to end up firing her! Her solution was to pay some of her friends to consult and charge me more money!

I have had the opportunity to experience Katina R Saint Marie on both sides of the table. She has shown me that she is passionate about her job and spends a great deal of time protecting her client with a drive to not nickel and dime us at the same time. In my last case, she provided me with above and beyond representation and in the end, I felt the results were fair and effective. I will and have recommended her to many of my friends.

I hired Ms. Saint Marie for assistance with a divorce. She was unable to answer any questions during the entire proceedings. When it came to going to court, she immediately panicked after my spouse was allowed to ask some questions. She pulled me out for a minute and told me we HAD to settle as the judge was biased? I didn't have a say in any of it. Then later I had no income, so she agreed to allow me to pay when the spousal support kicked in. I called the office to ask a question, and was told unless I brought my account balance to zero she would not talk to me. (I owed less than $200.00) I then borrowed the money and sent a letter asking questions, she responded with her own letter 'not' answering any questions, but finding fault with how I wrote my letter and billing me for drafting the note.! UNBELIEVABLE, and soooo disappointing as I have never been through any of this before.
