i Dropped 5 grand on her as a retainer. dropped another 5 grand beyond that so they would understand. Her team as well as her herself is just fat and lazy.... The judge actually scolded her in court.. unprepared.. slow... lazy.... you name it....
STAY AWAY!!

I beleive that Kathleen may be failing. You might want to take your fight elsewhere.

Helpful and Honest. Although we had a short lived situation, her team was excellent.

I strongly recommend the best attorney in Sonoma County Kathleen Smith, she help me when I was getting custody of my daughter she was recommended to me by a friend who also hire her services Ms Smith is highly skilled and very easy to work with; she's an excellent professional And she always made me feel safe. I dearly trust her and highly recommend her services .

Kathleen is an extremely experienced and intelligent professional who will fight for your children.

Kathleen Smith and her team were amazing to work with in and extremely stressful situation. Kathleen is straight to the point and someone that can be trusted in trying times. I'm glad to have her on my side.

You cannot go wrong with McBeath and Smith. Kathleen and Heather take incredible care of you and help you navigate what can be a very scary process. If you want to ensure that your rights are being protected you should give Kathleen Smith a call.

Outstanding legal representation. Ms. Smith exemplifies what it means to be a family law attorney: she and her staff understand the law, know their clients, and work tirelessly toward resolution. A compassionate warrior, Ms. Smith will minimize conflict when possible; but, when needed, fiercely protect clients and children against unscrupulous opposing parties and counsel. Anyone who is looking for an attorney to be in their corner for a divorce or child custody case can do no better than Ms. Smith. Added bonus: Ms. Smith throws out zingy one-liners that keep your confidence up, and your mind on track. I am really thrilled that I had the good fortune of this fine representation.

With Kathleen I feel like I finally have someone on my side that is professional, effective, able to identify and get the right things done quickly. A previous attorney had his own agenda and ignored the well being of myself and my son. Kathleen doesn't let herself or her clients get pushed around. She knows the law and the process and what to do and how to do it well.

I hired Kathleen Smith to handle my divorce. She is was direct and realistic in counseling me regarding my options for custody and settlement. I found her to be knowledgeable, experienced, diligent and trustworthy; after having two previous attorneys who were not, I am very fortunate to have represent me. She was able to work towards the goal we set together and get my divorce settled in a timely manner.
