McLaughlin Kathleen Attorney

Attended the Maryland Volunteer Lawyers Service annual dinner and ran into a colleague of mine from many years ago when I was just starting my practice. It gives me great satisfaction to help those who are financially helpless in family law cases.

Recently concluded a highly contested divorce. As always, I ask clients to write a recommendation which is asking a lot from clients who go through these tough times. Warms my heart!

"Believe her!
February 3, 2021
I was referred to Kathleen by a friend. I liked that she was not part of a larger firm and all correspondence went directly to her. From the start she laid out what was necessary to proceed with a separation/divorce. When I followed her advice things moved along, when I thought I knew better...well I didn't. Listen to her!"

Although a difficult time for most of my clients going through a divorce, I love it when they walk away happy:

"Kathleen is so incredible. She puts her heart and soul into her work. I thank God she was with me on my side of the divorce proceedings. She is professional and thorough. She has so much knowledge of the legal process. We ended up settling the case through mediation, where she advised me and stayed there with me throughout that difficult time. While we did not make it to court, she would have been a strong advocate for me and my needs, and would have very likely won the case based on her strength and determination. She truly cares about her clients. I would HIGHLY recommend Kathleen."

Grateful to my client who just posted this on LinkedIn!

Kathleen was my rock during a very emotional time in my life. I highly recommend Kathleen. Kathleen always made sure documents, emails and any communication was on time. Kathleen made sure I knew what was going on with my case, every step of the way. Kathleen took her time in explaining every document and anything that I needed to be explained to me.. She was very thorough and followed through on everything she told me she needed to do to ensure I was being treated fairly. Kathleen made sure that I didn't let me emotions get in the way so that I wouldn't get a fair deal. Kathleen knows her "stuff" and all the ins and outs of all laws and processes of how things need to be done so the awful and emotional situation that I was in was as smooth as it could be thanks to her!

Just received from former client:

"You represented me during my divorce, and more importantly, child custody agreement for my son. You also represented my mother in her divorce back in 2001. Are you accepting new clients? I have a friend in need of your services and he is aware of how pleased I am with the results of your counsel. On a personal note, I am truly grateful for the outcome/results of my case"

From a client:

Wow oh Wow! This just received from one of my client's after an intense oral argument in Baltimore County yesterday:
"KATHLEEN,
YOU TRULY WERE AMAZING!!! We felt like we were watching a Paul Newman movie where the lawyer, against all odds beats the giant corporation and justice is served except this is real life, our lives and for the first time in seven years, since all of this turmoil began, ### and I have walked out of a courtroom with a smile on our faces. Thank you, thank you, and thank you, for restoring our faith in the judicial system and for sticking it out with us, I know it was quite the puzzle to put the pieces together! Again, YOU’RE AMAZING! God bless you and Happy St. Patrick’s Day!"

Check out my new endorsement on LinkedIn!
"I retained Kathleen's services for a complicated divorce that involved shared marital property including pensions, an expensive home, a corporation and Government healthcare issues. She instinctively incorporated the Court's adjudication process and established benchmarks for controlling the other party's compliance to the Court's milestones. She created an excellent battle rhythm that forced a business-like Marital Separation Agreement, yet, she also afforded me latitude in coordinating with my estranged wife on parallel issues within the Court's schedule. Kathleen knew how to protect my long-term interests while weighing the personal and emotional constraints on her client in order to bring resolution in an amicable manner. It was a clear, concise win-win resolution. I wholeheartedly recommend her - she is "Tops" in my book"

Another wonderful review from my client however since I haven't paid FB to "boost" my business, I wonder if any of my FB friends see this. If so, could someone let me know.

"Kathleen McLaughlin is a fantastic lawyer. I originally consulted with her and she got it done. Katherine worked with the other attorney, and got a favorable outcome. I was very pleased with her. She always returned my calls, and was truly on top of things. I have dealt with a number of attorneys through out my life, business dealings, etc. She was absolutely one of the best I have used! Very comforting during a tough time. I used her for a divorce case."
