Have you consulted or hired this lawyer?
Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.Kathryn Beck is an exceptional Family Law attorney. She has represented my family through two very high conflict cases. Her knowledge of the law is remarkable. She is also a highly respected CFI. Kathryn’s expertise in both of these areas give her a unique and unparalleled advantage when advising her clients and negotiating on their behalf. Not only is Kathryn compassionate and empathetic, she is pragmatic. Her knowledge and extensive experience are also beneficial as she guides her clients to realistic expectations from the court. We have been so grateful to have Kathryn by our side each step of the way!
Kathryn has done an amazing job at helping me navigate through a very high-conflict, ongoing, toxic co-parenting situation; while always keeping my son’s best interests first and foremost. Kathryn is beyond knowledgeable in every area of Family Law and is very much respected by the Court. She is compassionate, honest, experienced, empathetic, and professional. When working with opposing counsel, Kathryn always remains respectful and professional and would steer the conversation back to getting a resolution, rather than engaging in their sometimes dishonorable behavior. Knowing I have Kathryn on my side, as my lawyer, puts my mind as ease while navigating through these rough waters. I highly recommend her for your Family Law needs.
Kathryn has been a fantastic PCDM in the face of some very trying circumstances in my divorce. I'd recommend her to anyone who wants an unbiased, fair and resolution-focused PCDM.
Kathryn is a trusted advisor and has handled my child visitation arrangement with my ex on a move from California to Colorado and two divorces. She is a strong negotiator with comprehensive knowledge of the law and has best interest of my family at the forefront when handling a case. I've experienced excellence and caring during these difficult situations. Kathryn's paralegal is top notch.
My office and I have used Kathryn's services many times over the years, but I only just realized she has a profile on Avvo where I could leave a rave review. Kathryn is a consummate professional. She is extremely knowledgeable, fair-minded, reasonable, and helpful in bringing parties to settlement at mediation. I have also used her as an arbitrator and found her order extremely helpful to the client in providing a level of detail and rationale that exceeds what time a court can often provide .
Kathryn is a Gem. She courageously took on our custody case after a bad attorney and an unethical CFI left us with a situation that was not good for my son. Kathryn is experienced,smart,VERY organized,ethical,compassionate,knows the law,has a solid paralegal,can stand her ground,and strives to have working rapport with other professionals in the Family Law field. Most importantly,she has always advocated for the best interests of my son and wisely advised us of realistic outcomes to reach for.
Kathryn wore many hats through our child custody case. Kathryn tried her best to listen to both sides and find what was best for the child. Kathryn tried to keep us out of court, as much as possible, and gave suggestions for compromise. Although reading the CFI report was shocking; over time, Kathryn got to put the pieces together and see the truth. Kathryn never gave up and followed our case through step parent adoption. Kathryn shows compassion by still being interested in our child's growth.
Kathryn mediated a very difficult matter for us. She came to the mediation prepared. It was clear from the start that Kathryn understood the complexities of our high conflict matter and she quickly honed in on our issues. One party was immediately aggressive and she managed to keep the conflict contained so that the parties could continue to work through the process. She was even-handed and fair and gave the parties the benefit of her experience as a lawyer and a child family investigator, which
Kathryn represented my children as the GAL in my very complicated divorce. She is incredible in recognizing the needs of the children and the family.
Kathryn served as our mediator in a family law case, she was by far, an excellent choice. Kathryn always made me feel so welcome and was so relatable, kind, and understanding amidst her hard work and efforts in getting both parties to compromise. I am so grateful for her hard work in getting us to both successfully agree, as well as all the time and effort she put into all of the details and things that mattered. Kathryn, thank you so much for your outstanding service and kindness towards me. :)
