Kate Butler Law was very thoughtful and effective in handling my recent work issue. I was very grateful they took care of an issue that felt like something I would never be able to resolve on my own.

Extremely knowledgeable and great communication. Truly does her very best for the client. My case was an emotionally exhausting one with numerous complexities but Kate Butler's strategic thinking and bold advocacy helped me achieve a favorable outcome.

I am reaching out to share my personal experience with Kate, the attorney I retained for an employment discrimination case. While I initially found Kate's performance during the mediation process to be commendable, I was ultimately let down by the lack of transparency and communication thereafter. Once we reached an impasse due to the company's "insolvency," our case was submitted for investigation. Throughout this period, I anxiously awaited the outcome, only to realize that I had never been copied on the correspondence between the Department of Labor (DOL) and Kate's office. Moreover, neither Kate herself nor her office ever informed me of the final decision. This lack of transparency and failure to provide updates left me feeling frustrated and powerless. I recognize that lawyers are often busy, but it is important for them to view cases as personal experiences and treat their clients accordingly. Timely communication and regular updates are vital for clients to navigate legal matters effectively. It is crucial for clients to be kept informed so they can make informed decisions and actively participate in their own cases. Based on my personal experience, I regretfully cannot recommend Kate's services to others seeking legal representation for similar cases. I believe that effective and open communication should be a fundamental aspect of any legal process, and in my particular case, Kate's office failed to meet those expectations. Thank you for taking the time to consider my review. Best regards, Brandon Gardner

I reached out to this law firm in June of 2024 and spoke over the phone. Kate "expressed great interest" in my case and charged me a non refundable fee to have a consultation and then said she would get back to me… I was ghosted since the last week of June 2024. Never ever heard back from her or her secretary. To this day I've NOT BEEN CONTACTED by her or anyone in her office and I've called and emailed several times and left messages with the secretary to no avail. I am greatly disappointed and would've rather she had been up front and honest with me and l told me "I'm overwhelmed and can't take your case" or have been told "not interested" instead of just being ignored and not responded to at all, especially after taking my hard to come by money for a consultation fee and being "very interested" in my case. I would not recommend her services due to these disappointing and upsetting circumstances.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Working with Kate Butler Law in Wilmington, Delaware was truly life-changing. When I first reached out, I was overwhelmed and unsure how to stand up to my employer. Kate Butler is an exceptional plaintiff-side employment lawyer in Wilmington, DE who immediately made me feel heard, believed, and protected. Kate is incredibly knowledgeable in employment law, and her strategic approach to wrongful termination, workplace discrimination, retaliation, and hostile work environment claims is outstanding. She took the time to understand not just the legal issues, but the real personal and professional impact of what I went through. She explained my rights clearly, answered every question, and fought relentlessly on my behalf. Because of Kate's advocacy and skill as an employment discrimination attorney, we achieved a stellar settlement — one that far exceeded my expectations and gave me both financial relief and a true sense of justice. Her staff is just as impressive. Everyone at Kate's Wilmington employment law firm was professional, responsive, and genuinely compassionate. Communication was consistent and timely, and I always felt supported throughout the entire process. If you are looking for a plaintiff's employment attorney in Wilmington, DE who will fight for your workplace rights while treating you with dignity and respect, I cannot recommend Kate Butler Law highly enough. Kate Butler and her team are exactly who you want in your corner.
