Hired Attorney 2024-2025My Ex-husband used Kathryn Lynch as his attorney during our divorce last year. I went to the Bar on Kathryn Lynch due to her doing unethical work throughout my divorce process. I have proof and called out Kathryn Lynch on CHANGING MY EMAIL ADDRESS by one letter and submitting my final judgment along with other documents I was not notified about through to the judge and court system. Kathryn Lynch is a lawyer who seems to think she is above the law and can also manipulate it with her illegal tactics as well as her team at the office. My ex husband was in contempt from day one of filing for divorce with me being a stay at home mother and having proof of my exhusband with-holding income and moving accounts from the begining or before he filed for divorce; Kathryn Lynch ignored my emails and proof of this and continued to go about my divorce process manipulation of my email addrees and also stating to the judge the I was ok with the final judgment when we had a case hearing in front of the judge she canceled it behind my back. I advise anyone to not even consider hiring someone and a woman at that who can just care less about representing not only honest clients and or being honest herself with the law but for anyone who can and is willing to let fraud and lies of income effect a family and the children involved. Just like my Ex-husband was a coward throughout our marriage he found a great coward of a lawyer to represent and manipulate our case to his and her advantage! Kathryn should absolutly be banned from being an attorney and I can only hope she is stopped and held accountable for her unlawful actions before anymore families are hurt!

Hired Attorney 2025-2026I was looking for a lawyer during one of the most difficult and emotional periods of my life — my divorce. I needed someone knowledgeable, responsive, and capable of guiding me through both the legal process and the emotional challenges that come with it. After my first call with Katie, I immediately felt confident in her ability to handle my case. She was professional, straightforward, and clearly understood both the legal and personal complexities involved in divorce. That’s why I chose her. Katie helped me in so many specific ways throughout the process. She broke down every step of the process with me – and explained everything clearly so I always understood what was happening and what my options were, and made sure I was fully prepared for each stage of the case. Whenever I had questions or concerns, she responded promptly and reassured me with honest, practical advice. Most importantly, she fought for me and protected my interests while keeping the process as smooth as possible. To anyone thinking about hiring Katie, I would say you will be in excellent hands. She is knowledgeable, compassionate, and professional. Divorce is challenging, but having Katie in your corner makes the process manageable and calm. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone needing strong and dependable representation.

Hired Attorney 2021-2025From my very first consultation with Kathryn Lynch, I felt both heard and supported—and she proved to be exactly that throughout the entire process of my divorce case. Family law seems as if it’s never easy to navigate, but Kathryn brought remarkable professionalism and compassion to what turned out to be the most difficult and longest case I could have imagined any divorce to become. At every stage, she took the time to truly listen and understand my concerns, while also drawing from the perspectives of other professionals involved in the case. She was unwavering in her support—from the beginning to the end, from the initial filing through to the final resolution. Her communication was one of the most impactful parts of working with her. Kathryn’s clarity, responsiveness, and thoughtfulness in every mattery were excellent. There were times when I felt completely overwhelmed, but she always steadied me and kept me focused on what mattered. My case involved circumstances that were exceptionally difficult—challenges that only revealed themselves years into the proceedings. Throughout it all, Kathryn remained steadfast, never wavering in her advocacy and, especially, her moral compass. Her belief in fighting for what is right is absolute, yet she also has the wisdom to recognize where a shift in approach is necessary. That ability to balance determination with compassion is rare. Although this was my first experience with a legal case, Kathryn was undoubtedly highly proficient and knowledgeable. Her collaborative approach was evident throughout the years of the case. Behind the scenes, she worked diligently to ensure all details were addressed, and her integrity and moral compass stood out to me the most. If you’re looking for a divorce lawyer who balances exceptional legal skill with genuine human care—someone who communicates clearly, listens intently, and remains dedicated through difficulty—then Kathryn Lynch is an outstanding choice.

Hired Attorney 2025Kathryn and her team were awesome to work with. First meeting I left knowing this was the right law firm for me. They were companionate and listened. She answered all of my questions and let me know the legal position for our case. She talked through each step and kept me informed throughout the process. I was not looking for a lawyer to attack my spouse, I wanted a clean and amicable split. Kathryn delivered and was a clear advocate for me.
