Kathryn Sjulin Lonowski

Ms. Lonowski is not recommended as a family law attorney; especially as a male client. People in my position have never been through a life changing situation like divorce; especially when a parent wants to relocate 1300 miles away. I won the CFI. She failed prepare me for the PRE, she failed to have an overall strategy. She did succeed in taking $250 per hour for her "services". In the "trial", I lost my kids by being a good dad with morals and integrity. She did not help me at all.

Mrs. Lonowski represented me extremely poorly in a high conflict divorce. She was not willing to fight for my rights as a mother. On one occasion she told me I needed to make an immediate decision on an important matter, because she was leaving to go out of town the next morning. She contacted me with less than a week before a big hearing and informed me that she would not be represent me. She failed to submit to the court financial recommendations that she had suggested I obtain. Very bad

I would highly advise not using Kathryn Lonowski. Her behavior is bullying, never advocating. She made grave errors in my divorce proceedings, one error in the amount of $600,000 that she laughed off and tried to blame on her paralegal. That said her paralegal was professional and greatly responsive. Family and friends frequently asked if Kathryn was working for my ex or for me. My divorce was horrendous and my experience was…it was Kathryn, my ex and my ex’s attorney against me. Her errors and guidance were egregious. She was aggressive and beyond disrespectful with me, often berating me, for months berating me based on her $600,000 error. I still consider filing grievance.

Kathryn is abusive. Coming from a long time abusive marriage, anyone would expect their attorney to be on their side. Kathryn isn't on your side and is condescending, disrespectful and abusive herself. A person can't ask her questions without being made to feel stupid and at times called stupid. Avoid this attorney at all costs. She takes a bad divorce situation and adds stress, verbal abuse and frustration. If you're considering working with her, check the % of people that actually complete their divorce with her vs. those that end up firing her and going to another attorney. Waste of time and money to have to re-start mid process.

It's hard to overstate how much damage she caused my family and the children with her ugly tactics, causing terrible rifts. Divorce is slways hard, she made it 10x more difficult and the only person who came out on top, is Ms. Lonowski. She is a bad person and has zero integrity.

Going through a custody battle is one of the worst thing a man can go through. Kathryn promised to keep me educated, have a plan, and communicate often and well about the process. Not only was she disrespectful on several occasions but she never explained anything and had no plan. Luckily I figured her out quickly as I spent almost $2000 in just 9 days for what I am not sure. I would not suggest this woman to my worst enemy especially knowing how scary it is to go through it. Talk to other attorneys about her is really all you need to do. She is not liked by them or the judges for that matter.

Very confrontational. Seems only interested in money. Very anti-mom.

If you would like to have any relationship with your soon to be ex spouse after your divorce, and if you have children, you MUST, then DO NOT hire her. She is vicious, nasty and only worried about how much money she can make off of you.

She seemed only interested in the money I could provide for her. Very litigious.
