Katherine Daman

Senior Litigation Attorney

During her 13-plus years of practice, it became alarming to Des Moines divorce attorney Katherine Daman just how often men are denied their basic rights as a parent and treated as a second-class parent.

Eventually, she became proactive in correcting these misconceptions by focusing her career on family law.

“The reward I receive in assisting my clients in securing their rights has kept me focused and encouraged to fight the good fight,” Ms. Daman said.

Ms. Daman is able to communicate effectively with her clients so they are able to productively and successfully work together.

“The process can be tedious and emotional, but I promise I will be right beside you and try my best to make it as painless as possible,” she said.

Reviews

5/5

“If I call Katherine, I can always be reasonably certain that I will be able to get a hold of her. I’ve worked with many attorneys before, and I’ve never had that luxury. I have been very happy with Katherine. As your firm is nationwide, Katherine has access to experts all over she can consult with. I don’t believe a local attorney would have those same connections. I really like that about going with Katherine and your firm.”

“I just want to get my sons back and Katherine seems to be the only person who can calm me down at times. She hasn’t told me to do anything wrong or misguided me in any way. I know she is doing what she can to get this worked out. She is completely honest and I am so glad I found her.”

“She has done a good job especially with knowing she is wanting to help. The only thing I said is ‘hey, I don’t want to split the throat. I just want to be civil.’ I like the way everything has been handled. She understands what I want and what my goals are and so far, she has helped me with all this.”

“I have already referred Katherine. While I hope I don’t need anything down the road, I would absolutely call Katherine if I ever did. I had an overall very good experience with you all and would like to extend my gratitude to Katherine for all of her help.”
