"With my educational background in psychology, I became a lawyer to help people. I appreciate that my clients are going through very stressful situations, and my goal is that you always know what is going on in your case."
Compassionate Family Law Attorney and Amicus
Kathleen Witkovski's role as Senior Associate and head of the Family Law department centers around helping clients through significant moments in their lives-contested and uncontested divorces, custody suits, adoptions, premarital and post marital agreements, other areas of family law, and probate and estate planning. Kathleen has represented clients in highly contested custody battles and high net-worth property divisions, including divorces involving the valuation and division of businesses. Her experience in a wide variety of cases provides in-house services for clients whose legal needs transcend simple transactional or litigation matters.
By Court appointment, Kathleen serves as an Amicus Attorney in highly contested custody disputes as an advocate for a child's best interests by providing legal services necessary to assist the Court in protecting those interests.
Empathy in Crisis Situations
Family law is a broad branch of law that encompasses much more than matrimonial and divorce matters; custody, child support, and other areas must be also addressed by a family law professional. These crises usually generate high levels of stress in people that can often impair decisions.
For this reason, Kathleen sees empathy as one of her main tools as a family law professional, especially useful in keeping in mind the best interests of children involved in cases. She develops an actively communicative, compassionate strategy for her clients, walking with them through the process and helping them continue into a new stage of life.
Consistent, Responsive Communication
Kathleen deeply empathizes with her clients, knowing that they are going through some of the most stressful moments of their lives. She seeks to provide quick responses and consistent communication to her clients about the status of their cases, to build a bridge to the next stage of their life as smoothly as possible.
