San Diego Divorce Lawyers

Winning Experience And Expertise

Compared to other San Diego divorce lawyers, Kathy Recordon is one of the most exemplary attorneys in her field. With over 27 years of dedicated service to San Diego area residents and service as a Judge (pro tem) as well as having completed extensive divorce mediation training, Kathy is a seasoned professional with skills far and above other San Diego Divorce Lawyers. She has devoted her entire career to helping people get past one of the most difficult times of their lives and as a testament to her skillful execution in every unique divorce situation, she has received several prestigious service awards rarely found on the walls of other San Diego divorce lawyers. Preserving and improving the quality of life for her clients is of paramount concern while she resolves the myriad of issues that come up during a divorce. This includes minimizing unnecessary distractions such as extra meetings, court appearances or even delays due to errors common with other San Diego divorce lawyers.

At first glance, there may seem to be an over abundance of San Diego divorce lawyers, but many of these lack the experience and expertise to handle the issues that can quickly complicate your unique divorce situation. San Diego is home to many major law schools from which new lawyers graduate. This means that the list of San Diego divorce lawyers grows every year. While many of these individuals can really use the experience that your case can provide, it’s not worth risking your future just so they can learn to be good lawyers. For anything else having many options is a good thing, but when it comes to San Diego divorce lawyers, so many of those options lack winning experience and court exposure which make them prone to even the simplest mistakes. This is why, with her experience, expertise and understanding of the system, Kathy Recordon is the prime choice and has the record and awards to show for it. She stands out from other San Diego divorce lawyers and continues to be recognized among the best in southern California.

Since 1980, Kathy has turned her well-developed intuition and understanding of her clients into win after win. As a result she has been invited to serve as a judge (pro tem) in San Diego Family Court, an opportunity not offered to most San Diego divorce lawyers. This has given Kathy the opportunity to see divorce from judge’s seat as well as the lawyer’s, providing an insight into the system that other San Diego divorce lawyers never get.

The Personal Attention You Deserve

Big law firms are never a good choice because they tend to pass what they deem as ‘easy’ cases, particularly divorce cases because of the relatively low profits, on to fresh graduates who have yet to prove that they have sufficient talent to handle even the most straightforward divorce cases. Your divorce deserves the careful attention and planning of a lawyer that has learned to adapt and give personalized attention to every case. And, unlike most San Diego law firms, especially the big ones, Kathy will not pass your divorce case off to a paralegal or junior lawyer. Instead she will personally handle the entire process from beginning to end to ensure that everything is complete and accurate.

Kathy offers a lot to make your divorce process as easy as possible. If you decide to retain counsel, she begins with her case evaluation which goes far beyond the initial consultations normally given by San Diego divorce lawyers and then follows up with sound advice. Kathy is known for being brutally honest with her clients, even if the prognosis isn’t good, to avoid surprises later on. Many San Diego divorce lawyers will initially tell their clients whatever they want to hear in order to get the retainer check, then ‘deal’ with the reality of a losing battle and their clients shattered hopes. Kathy also makes a point to tell her clients all of their options and not just the ones that are convenient for her. This way you have more freedom to participate in your divorce rather than ‘ride’ it like a rag doll on a rollercoaster as some San Diego divorce lawyers would prefer.

Kathy isn’t there to force you into proceedings that are unsettling or unfit. She is there to dispense the advice that most fits your situation but at the same time she doesn’t expect you to throw away your decision making ability. Kathy will always present you with all your options and explain each one fully. In this way, you can have the comfort of knowing that you are making all the right moves throughout your divorce. In contrast, other San Diego divorce lawyers may attempt to manipulate you into certain choices by not telling you all your options. This way, they can push your case through the system with minimal effort and maximum financial gain.

The Right Course Of Action

Occasionally some San Diego divorce lawyers will even attempt to interpolate things into your case that really don’t apply to your situation. In this way they can add more billing ‘things to fix’ that weren’t broken in the first place. But Kathy Recordon isn’t one of those divorce lawyers. She will never pile on issues that don’t exist. On the other side of this issue there are San Diego divorce lawyers that minimize or trivialize the issues that you are facing. They disregard the uniqueness of your situation or the fact that your very life will be permanently changed by what happens next, in favor of a cookie-cutter approach to divorce. Kathy understands that the divorce process is emotionally draining and listens to your input, she knows when to be ‘pushy’ and when to be ‘persuasive’.

Intelligence, education and experience together with virtues like honesty, friendliness and understanding make Kathy Recordon the best possible choice among San Diego divorce lawyers. Her natural ability to present your options in the clearest possible manner goes a long way towards turning the disparity of your divorce into positive life changes. She is there with you as you conquer this challenge in life and begin to rebuild. There are a lot of San Diego divorce lawyers out there, but none with the qualities that Kathy Recordon has to offer.

Just as marriage was a huge life change for you, your divorce will be as well. As you sift your way through the endless list of San Diego divorce lawyers, pay close attention to the one that always rises to the top, the one that will give you the individual attention you need, Kathy Recordon.

I just wanted to thank you for your great assistance throughout my divorce process and thank you for always being prepared and professional in court. After watching my wife’s attorney bumble around, not understanding the law or knowing the facts, I was really thankful that I hired you to represent me. Further, I really liked you! Your sense of humor helped during this difficult time. It was really nice to have a laugh now and again!
