I was barely 5 minutes into a free consultation, she was extremely rude and insensitive. First of all, any one who feels the need for a family law attorney - is already under immense stress. For her to be as rude, inconsiderate and blatantly insensitive - was absolutely uncalled for. Interrupting me, telling me to get over it. When I finally told her that I thought it was not going to work with her tone of voice and the way she spoke to me - then she agreed and was insulting me. I had to hang up the phone. It was pretty disgusting

I retained Kathleen Mercer after a friend recommended her to me. And so glad I did. She has been my attorney for three years now! She worked hard long hours for me. She is an attorney who fights for what is right and doesn't give up if it gets tough. My case was very tedious and not at all easy. Kathleen worked with me, and not only represented me, but cared about the outcome and my family's future. She kept in good communication with me; often working late or within my schedule. She has a great ability to put into legal words how I felt, and fought for it, when I was unable to. I was explained to in detail every step of the way so that I would know what to expect. I recommend Kathleen as she is a very knowledgeable, experienced, and compassionate attorney.

I used Ms. Mercer for an attempted divorce. She was unable to answer questions. Refused to discuss anything other than what she chose. When she didn't like what was happening in the case, (even though I had no control over it) she immediately withdrew from my case. Now I cannot get another lawyer because they are all too concerned about what mess she has created. I am in worse condition now than before I started. Still married, and no one will help me because of her. However, she was still paid in full!

Kathleen Mercer came very highly recommended from friends in the community, and she not only met, but exceeded my expectations. With the help of her exceptional legal advocacy, we won the case against a very difficult opposing party with a settlement that ensured justice will be upheld. Her no-nonsense demeanor, her ability to uncover the truth in a situation, and her knowledge of the necessary evidence were great assets in the success of the case. She is highly experienced in practicing family law and offers affordable rates on a sliding scale so that she can help the people in our community who need it the most. I felt that she was conscientious of my financial situation and used her time efficiently, often allowing me to do the leg work on the case to keep my legal bill manageable. Observing her interactions with the judge and opposing attorney, it was obvious that she maintains good rapport with our local court system. She also practices law in an ethical manner, which I feel is an important quality in an attorney. I would absolutely recommend Kathleen to anyone needing a family law attorney.

I had a wonderful experience with Kathleen and I have recommended her to many of my single mom friends who have needed help. They all say she has been a godsend for them. She was tough when she needed to be, and always had my back. I had a tricky child custody and support case and she helped me win my case and keep me sane throughout the process. It lasted a long time because of the shenanigans pulled by the other side but she stuck with it till the end. I felt totally confident in her care. So nice to be able to send my friends to her as well, who also needed a low cost attorney who would kick butt. Thanks Kathleen!
