I would NOT recommend. The “ball was dropped” too many times to count in my case. I had to hire another attorney to correct a mistake in my decree that could have cost me the only asset in the case. I paid 4 times what my ex paid and I am still undoing the damage this law firm caused.

Stay clear of this law firm!! They are liars, crooks, & thieves. I was charged well over $10,000 for Cathy to do absolutely nothing on my family law case. It was like she was representing the other party instead of me as her client. Not to mention she never showed up to court on time and she lied and told me she was at court when she really wasn’t (as I heard a phone call where she called her paralegal to see if she told me Cathy wasn’t at court yet because she had already told me she was there.) also she started that phone conversation with her paralegal in this manner “What’s up b***hes” very unprofessional! Also orders were served to the wrong address which was their rightful mistake after I gave her paralegal all the proper information she needed to ensure she could serve orders to the right person/address and it was still served to the wrong person and you guessed it, I was still charged for all this. Not to mention they are still charging for phone calls when I literally talked to her paralegal and was told Cathy would review my billing statement since this law office has done absolutely nothing for my case. Oh and get this my case was DISMISSED and how did I find out? I had to hire another attorney after I felt this law office was dropping the ball left & right and wasn’t doing what was in the best interest for me and the new hired attorney found all this out, got me my dismissal court paperwork all within 24 HOURS!! Please stay away from this crook of a lawyer and law office and incompetent staff. I pray this law office gets their karma for taking advantage of innocent folks and ripping them off with their greed of “attorney” if you all want an exceptional attorney whom will not just take your money just because they can and want someone whom will really fight for your case e-mail me, I can give you all the best attorney ever. Also once I hired this new attorney to pick up the ball where Borum law firm dropped it and it was discovered my whole case was dismissed this new attorney even REFUNDED all my money! Take my word STAY AWAY FROM BORUM law firm!! I hope this saves someone from spending thousands of dollars like I did for absolutely nothing!! Also I will be reporting to the BBB and contact the licensing board regarding this law firm.

I hired "Cat" for my child custody case, which was a very sophisticated case. She knew what experts and other lawyers that my case needed! It was a very tough time for me as many times my child was in danger and I need answers fast, and I got them extremely fast. I am very thankful to her and her staff for working so hard with my case and doing an absolutely fantastic job! I would recommend her to anyone that needs a family lawyer in DFW and would tell them she is the best you can get!!

HIRE THIS ATTORNEY IF YOU NEED TO WIN! I never got married with divorce in mind but it happens...and to me it happened in a very big way! My spouse immediately went for the throat after I caught the cheating, asking for money and custody claiming everything in a divorce war chest including physical abuse, mental abuse, drug abuse and other criminal activities. Needless to say I was terrified when the waterfall of legal threats began to drown me and my business. I even spent a night in jail due to false accusations. Get ready for tough love and facts during the first meeting! This lawyer is more that qualified, is tough as nails and will give it to you strait in order to prepare you for battle. She was very prepared for my case, empathetic, always available, returned calls and I never had to question a bill. She will skillfully negotiate with the opposition and make you feel protected when you are standing in front of the judge. Ultimately I got more than what I needed because we were prepared. My life was put back on course and I have a great relationship with my child. Catherine Borum is the BEST attorney you can have in a that horrible situation. Don't wait until they fire the first shot.

Catherine goes above and beyond and actually CARES about her clients. I had a very messy case and she was there for me every step of the way. She would even call me just to see if I was okay. She is very knowledgeable of the law . She is tough, aggressive and very caring . There aren't enough words to express the type of person and lawyer she is. Catherine Borum is by far the best Lawyer in DFW area!!!! I have referred numerous clients to her. If your looking for a great Attorney Catherine is your lady!!!

This woman and her staff is amazing. They really explain everything. She makes you feel at home. Wait tell you see her in court she can handle her business and then some. If you have to hire an attorney, she will be the only one you will ever have to hire again. Catherine is a godsend.

Do not waste your time and money on this attorney. Poor communication and poor service overall. And her office just did not do a good job representing me. It is impossible to reach her. And it takes weeks for her office to get back to you. Very frustrating experience.

We found Mrs. Kat on this same page just googled her and read her reviews, We Are Most Definitely Thankful, Lucky, And Very Pleased !!! She was hired by us for a child custody/child support case. She spoke to us like if she was related to us like a normal person.. in language WE could understand She fought like a lawyer should fight for you.. And she did it well that's why she gets the name "Tha Beast" she don't play.. everything she said she was going to do she did.. We are very lucky to have her and of course we won! Most definitely would recommend her to everyone! Money well spent. FIVE STARS! AWESOME JOB! CLAP-CLAP-CLAP!

I originally met Catherine when I was going through my divorce. She was superb every step of the way and ensured I was taken care of. Recently we hired Catherine again for child custody, visitation, child support etc. Catherine will be frank with you whether or not you like it because she cares about her clients being well informed. I cannot emphasize enough what a Godsend Catherine is! God bless that angel!

My ex-husband filed in TX and I was in NJ. Besides the geography issue, there was also a military component to it. Catherine handled it all superbly. She is a force to be reckoned with; precise and intelligent, she has vision and drives the process forward. I have never met Catherine face to face, but during the entire process she kept me extremely well informed. She would always get back to me timely if I had questions, and she always presented me with very sound options and counsel. I always felt very solidly represented in absentia. In addition to that, she made me feel very protected, and that she had my back. When you're vulnerable and hurting as you're going through your divorce, that quality in an advisor is priceless. I interviewed many attorneys in Fort Worth, and was on my way to retaining someone else I wasn't terribly confident with, before I stumbled upon AVVO and found Catherine. When I read her reviews I was determined it had to be her. She truly was a Godsend. I cannot recommend her highly enough. She gets results and she cares about her clients. She is THE BEST!

Guardian Angel!!!! There are the typical lawyers who you hire and never Speak too. You speak to their paralegal who does most of the work In your case. This is NOT Catherine Borum. Catherine Goes above and beyond and actually CARES about her clients. I had a very messy legal process and she was there for me every step of The way. She would even call me just to see if I was okay. What douchbag lawyer Does that? None.... She is knowledgeable of the laws And goes through every angle and strategy with you. She will Identify your risks and potential disadvantages also. She is tough Agressive and caring at the sale time. There aren't enough words to express The type of person and lawyer she is. Catherine Borum is by far the best Lawyer in DFW area!!!!

Wow!! Where do I begin? I was totally blessed when I met Catherine! I hired her approximately a year and a half ago when I was served with a custody modification. Cat's determination and knowledge of the law are amazing! Her professionalism is above reproach. As others have stated in their reviews, Cat will tell you how it is, and her attention to my case and needs were nothing short of spectacular!! Although my case was a long, drawn out battle which involved child support, visitation, and residency outside of Tarrant County and contiguous, WE have prevailed! I am now the proud, custodial parent of my two beautiful daughters! I HIGHLY recommend Catherine and the Borum Law Firm for any of your family law needs! I'm only left to wonder how much time, money, and emotional stress I would have saved myself and children if I would have hired her from the beginning. One thing is for sure, I will always turn to Catherine for any family law issues in the future! Definitely a friend for life!!!
