1 /5 Lynn Trumbul: I hired Kathryn to assist with my case after receiving poor representation by a larger firm in Austin. I was hoping that despite the small size of her practice, she would be supportive, empathetic, and fierce in protecting me and my daughter. Sadly, she and many other lawyers are not properly educated in the fields of coercive control, post-separation abuse, stalking, and harassment. Regardless of the evidence I provided, she talked over me, interrupted me when I expressed concerns about my young child, and warned of loss of custody if I kept trying to protect my child from abuse. She would often make incredibly insensitive comments to me during phone calls and meetings. While I understand that the family court system is deeply flawed, if lawyers do not stand up for their clients, and keep convincing them to quiet their concerns for their children, the system will never improve. Abused, protective mothers need lawyers who listen. Sadly, Kathryn did not.
