Kathleen saved my sanity by defending me against the most manipulative person I’ve ever met. It’s very hard to convince anyone that a man has been subjected to domestic violence because of implicit bias but Kathleen articulated this very effectively, and prevented my abuser from steamrolling me in court like she’s done in the past. I don’t know what I would’ve done without Kathleen being such a strong advocate for me, but I’m so glad to have her on my side.”
Grateful for Sarah M. She was very pleasant to work with and made my process so much easier.
