Testimonials

I really appreciate the services that was given to me. Very professional and her Paralegal is GREAT. She answered all my concerns and worked hard on my behalf.

Denise

Catherine came highly recommended to me by a retired attorney who had previously argued cases against her in court. He told me there was no other attorney who could make him as mad as she did because she was so good at her job. My experience working with her on my case has only verified that claim. In my case, I never doubted that both Catherine and her paralegal wanted what was best for me. They were always honest and straightforward with me, and they were always very responsive to any questions or concerns I had. The monthly invoices let me know exactly how I was being charged with full transparency. I am so grateful to both Catherine and Gabriela for the work they completed on my behalf.
