Have you consulted or hired this lawyer?
Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.Cathy was an amazing Divorce Lawyer. She was extremely communicative and patient with my many questions. My case was extremely complicated, involving custody, alimony and businesses. My case unfortunately was very contentious as well but that didn't bother Cathy at all. She was very confident in her skills and extremely knowledgeable about the law and intricacies with the PWC Court system. She was very compassionate in listening to my concerns and responded quickly. She was able to help me obtain everything I wanted out of my case. Wendy was great too. She was always available and helpful when I needed copies, documents or any other administrative items. They make a great team and I know that I made the right decision in choosing this firm and in particular Cathy to represent me.
I had a legal issues and needed both responses and legal assistance as soon as i found out. Cathy was 100% on the level that i needed her to be on as well as her staff. she was very accommodating and compassionate to my personal issue and was very formal and professional to my needs many of them being legalize questions and what my responsibility and my actions could be and are. I was very lucky to have the entire team help me during this and while i.. never want to do this again if needed i would 100% recommend them. Thank you
I can’t thank Cathy Croft enough for the outstanding job she did handling my divorce. From the very beginning, she was compassionate and supportive, helping me stay grounded and maintain my sanity during one of the most difficult times in my life. Her extensive knowledge of family law, responsiveness, and organized approach gave me confidence every step of the way. Cathy was not only understanding but also tough when it counted—keeping me focused on my end goal when I wanted to give up, always advocating for my best interests, while remaining fair and professional. Thanks to her skill and persistence, we reached a settlement that I feel great about. Cathy's paralegal, Wendy Lough was always kind, efficient, and on top of every detail. The entire staff at Farrell & Croft was professional, courteous, and supportive; making a very difficult process much more endurable. I highly recommend Cathy and the team at Farrell & Croft to anyone in need of a great family law firm.
Kind, efficient, and professional. I had a great experience working with Catherine and her team. Her paralegal, Wendy, was a dream to work with, and the front desk staff are top notch. I highly recommend their services!
Smooth and professional, I couldn't be more satisfied. Responsive and understanding. Firm was recommended by a family member after their divorce, and I would pass that recommendation along to anyone who asks.
Hiring Cathy was a great decision! She came highly recommended by friends of friends, and it was well worth it. I was anxious about the whole ordeal, but she provided great guidance and resource materials whenever I had questions. She was very responsive, easy to meet (zooms or in person whatever was convenient) and often times had to "talk me off the ledge." She was straightforward and I trusted that she had my best interests at heart. I would highly recommend her to anyone. I am keeping her number in my pocket in case I may ever need to seek legal advice again.
In addition to the qualities of professionalism and intelligence that we expect from an established attorney, Cathy excels at client communication. She delivered both good and bad information to me in a clear and concise manner, which helped me to make the best decisions for my family. I could not have asked for a better partner through the very difficult year it took for my custody case to be resolved.
Cathy Croft was a tremendous help to me during a very difficult time and situation. Her guidance, assistance and care throughout the process were outstanding! It was an aggressive battle and I felt more than comfortable with her on my side. I was very pleased with the outcome and would highly recommend her.
