Kathryn graduated from Reed College in 1971 and from Cornell Law School in 1976. She has been practicing in Dutchess County since then, primarily in private practice as a matrimonial lawyer and a divorce mediator. A firm believer that the solutions to family problems lie in careful, thoughtful, joint review and planning, Kathryn supports the resolution of issues out of Court both in her mediation practice and in her collaborative practice. Having handled thousands of cases in litigation, mediation and collaboration, she brings her experience and attention to each case, and works with the clients to achieve a result consistent with their own personal values.
