FR commenter said that Catherine Kassenoff’s attorney in a recent filing told the court she is dead, writing:
“If Catherine truly isn’t deceased then one would have to ask themselves why her attorney would put his law license on the line by appearing on her behalf in court on May 30th, as well as provide a letter on June 5th? A letter that happened to contain enough convincing information for him to be allotted additional time to provide the necessary documents/evidence to confirm her death within the next 4 weeks.”

Did her attorney “risk his law license” in his recent written submission to Honorable Kenneth M. Karas asking for a four-week continuance?
Here is the letter;
June 5, 2023
Hon. Kenneth M. Karas
United States District Court
300 Quarropas Street, Chambers 533
White Plains, New York 10601-4150
Re: Catherine Kassenoff v. Allan Kassenoff et al. 7 :22-CV -002162-KMK
Dear Judge Karas:
I represent the plaintiff Catherine Kassenoff in this action. This letter is in response to the Court’s order dated May 30, 2023 at which time you asked that I make inquiries and advise as to my client’s status.
In an email communication dated May 27, 2023, my client advised that she was in Switzerland and would be ending her life with assistance. She also advised that information or inquiries could be directed to her friend, Wayne Baker; Attorney Baker is a retired federal prosecutor and my client’s former professional colleague when she was assigned to the Eastern District. I have been in contact with Attorney Baker and can relate the following information.
First, I last spoke with my client approximately 25 minutes after she transmitted her May 27th message. She confirmed that she was proceeding with the plan she had outlined in the email. Approximately 20 minutes into the call the line disconnected and my efforts to re-establish contact were unsuccessful. I have not heard from her since and to the best of my knowledge and information neither has anyone else.
Next, while my client did not disclose her specific location during my calls with her, I know that she was outside the United States. I learned that she was in Switzerland from her email message. Apparently, there are several facilities in Switzerland that work with patient’s seeking an assisted death. The name and location of the specific facility, while suspected, has not been confirmed to me, and apparently, under Swiss law patient related information, including confirmation of death, is subject to such local disclosure procedures.
In accordance with U.S. Department of State procedures efforts have been undertaken to have the appropriate United States Consulate confirm her death. See https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/international-travel/while-abroad/death-abroad1/consular-report-of-death-of-a-u-s–citizen-abroad.html
At this time, I have no reason to suspect or believe that Catherine Kassenoff is alive but I must concede that I cannot verify that she has died. Given the unusual circumstances, I am requesting that this matter be continued for four weeks. In the event that I should discover material information earlier, I will immediately apprise the Court and opposing counsel.
Thank you for your consideration.
Very truly yours,
Harold R. Burke
My daughter is suffering through court-sanctioned verbal and emotional abuse by her ex-husband every time she goes to visit her son. Her case was manipulated by the same triumvirate, Lubell, Abrams and Most, in Westchester County.
I’m hoping with what Catherine has been able to prove, that these three have twisted and contrived justice, my daughter is given another chance to fight.
If Catherine is still alive, I pray she can rest, recover and continue and win her fight. If Catherine has indeed died, may God give her the peace she deserves at last.
I’m praying for you all. ♥️
If crimes were committed, what will happen to that wiretapping case?
“For the sake of my children and other mothers who live through this terror of domestic abuse, I ask that you please keep telling my story so that the truth is known far and wide …”
I’m the FR commentator on which Janine’s post is based. In addition to this information, I have come across some other information that also leads me to believe that Catherine is deceased.
Within the Dropbox files that Catherine shared with the public is a 3rd medical report authored by Colin Brewer MB, MRCS, DPM, stating that Catherine still understood the implication associated with medically assisted suicide (MAS). Colin Brewer is famous for providing medical assessments to patients who go to the Swiss clinic Dignitas for MAS. This report along with the 2 that he authored that proceeded it would have satisfied Dignitas criteria of 1 or more up-to-date medical reports together with 2 or 3 older ones. Additionally, Dignitas requires that the Swiss physician who authorizes permission for the fatal medication to be administered must conduct at least 2 face to face detailed discussions with the patient separated by an interval of at least 2 weeks. This requires non residents to stay in Switzerland for 2 weeks prior to the MAS. This could explain why Catherine was ultimately unavailable on Mother’s Day or why she was not heard from again after the 27th of May when she announced she was putting her plan into action.
* Caveat: This is pure speculation on my part, but the fact that Colin Brewer was involved has me convinced.
In regards to my original comment (that this post is based on), in hindsight, a better question for me to have posed would have been: one would have to ask themselves why her attorney would subject himself to being accused of unethical conduct? However, if he honestly doesn’t know whether or not she’s deceased, then it’s a moot point.
Legal Anon, There’s an audio from a “visit” in a restaurant this past winter. Lots of background restaurant noise and cheery conversations between a beautiful mother and her beautiful children. Someone coughed quite a few times. As the children opened presents, the “supervisor” walked up to the table to tell Catherine her time was almost up. She says something like, “I feel like Cinderella”.
If Catherine was coughing then, maybe the cancer went to the lungs. If she was injected with the lab-MRNA injections, that might have weakened her immune system. When she wrote and signed the 52-page Complaint to the Court on March 14, 2023 she might have thought about her health limitations, the statutes of limitations, how well she had done fighting for her children and how much she had accomplished in the (5?) cases by then — custody/undoing the alienation, Most, Abrams, wire fraud etc.
The New York Post reported today, “The ex-husband of a Westchester attorney and mother who allegedly took her own life in an assisted suicide following their long and brutal custody battle emailed her that he would “never stop protecting” their three children from her just months earlier.”
If New York law enforcement picks up where Catherine left off, law enforcement will help keep protecting her three children and all other children in the “family courts”, too.
https://nycourts.gov/CourtHelp/GoingToCourt/SOLchart.shtml
So clear she is still alive
I hope she’s still alive. She was a great mom and great attorney. Read her complaint to the Court 150761/2023 signed and dated March 14, 2023. Most everything is in there.
She exposed the fraud and corruption Gus used in his case against her in the child custody matter. If Gus considered himself to be a “hired gun”, Abrams, Most and a few others were his bullets.
Abrams and Most should have been prosecuted. Medical and legal malpractice respectively, plus fraud upon the court.
Will Abrams and Most be charged and prosecuted or did someone in some dark room somewhere forty years ago decide the Feds were to consider “family court” crimes to be untouchable?
Or, someone killed her.
It was more and more obvious she was winning — and willing and able expose the family court corruption in New York.

Allan Kassenoff RESPONDS (through his attorney) … #narcissist #narcissism #narctok #abuse #abuseawareness #foryou
original sound – The Robbie Harvey
Janine, good for you for finding that on Pacer. This story is very interesting. I’m literally setting my alarm for four weeks from now.
A comment on the DailyMail UK site two hours ago ….
“Please investigate the lawyers and judges who enabled Kassenoff to abuse the legal system. He was able to lean on the concept of parental alienation and the courts ignored his abuse. He used ex parte orders and Catherine couldn’t even take her winter coat from the house. He was ruthless.”
‘Perhaps if I had the physical endurance to keep going, I would. But with a new terminal health issue that will soon be limited my physical strength as well, and with no protection from the courts, I cannot keep running from Allan,’ the late mother, whose death certificate will take up to six weeks to process, wrote.
The mother-of-three said she was not strong enough to go through ‘debilitating chemo, surgeries, and radiation again.’

Every day I learn of new horrors committed by these family court people. The “therapist” for my daughter, CAROLYN McGUFFOG, PsyD, hand-selected by the disgraced and removed AFC CAROL MOST and who earned a whopping $450/hour as a therapist, said this to my daughter (a direct quote):
“You need to pick between me and your mother. You can’t have us both in your life.”
Before I discovered this, I objected vehemently to this “therapist’s” reprogramming techniques in which she pressured my daughter to “learn to live a life” without her own mom, advocated vs. my having contact with my daughter because I might “manipulate” her, and allowed my daughter’s father to SIT IN on her therapy sessions when my daughter was trying to disclose abuse.
This is how reprogramming gets done. And when McGUFFOG couldn’t co-opt my strong and resilient daughter, she said things like “there may be a time when [my daughter] needs to go away to a therapeutic boarding school”.
Thankfully, my daughter “picked me” over this charlatan McGUFFOG.
“You need to pick between me and your mother. You can’t have us both in your life.” Catherine made the ultimate choice for her children. It seems the therapist was right. Now they will live life without their mom. “there may be a time when [my daughter] needs to go away to a therapeutic boarding school”. This would have been better than the children watching the demise of both their parents. Court news, you say “this is how Reprogramming gets done”. I’m just like, what the fuck are you talking about?
There is no good end to this story.
Allan reminds me of Anthony Weiner: def get a pedo vibe from him.
Yup. The email from Catherine’s daughter (Ally) to her mum says that her dad keeps walking in her bedroom when she’s undressing. She asks her mum to get a lock for her door. The email is dared 9 Jan 2021, it’s in the Dropbox docs.
In one of the videos, he escorts his naked child in the hallway from one room to the next for some reason. It looked a little off, but maybe it wasn’t. A note from the therapist indicated something, too. Good friends and family should be involved and keeping communication open.

NY mom’s assisted-suicide note blames ‘predatory’ courts that took her kids By Shelly Ridenour
Catherine Kassenoff faced off against hardened criminals and gang members as a federal prosecutor, and beat breast cancer twice, but said the broken New York family court system would be what killed her.
In a letter posted to Facebook on May 27, the Westchester, NY, mother of three announced she was scheduled to die by assisted suicide in Switzerland later that day.
“It is with a profound heartbreak … that I am writing my last post ever. Today, I will be ending my own life … In the last four years of my life I have woken up every day to a nightmare like no other,” she wrote in her public suicide note.
Catherine, 54 and an attorney who once served as special counsel to New York Governor Kathy Hochul, wrote that she’d recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer — but blamed her decision to die then, and by assisted suicide, on ongoing alleged abuse by her ex-husband and a messy
I hope she decided to just take a rest there for as long as she needs to rest. She’s been through hell.
I hope she recovers from the stress of “family court”. I hope she’s still alive and will soon be cancer-free. I hope she comes back to the United States and fights the fight with the support should have received years ago. The case files she posted speak volumes about the truth — whether or not the “family court” allowed to share the facts of the case.
She deserves to live now and happily ever after, enjoying life to the fullest as the wonderful mother to her three beautiful children.
I hope she’s in Switzerland with a bucket of popcorn, sitting back and enjoying the show. I hope she is alive to see her children again and to see Allan get what he has coming to him. Let’s see him talk to a prison cell mate the way he did to Catherine. He doesn’t have the balls to talk to a man this way because he would get his ass handed to him. He would rather pick on a sick woman or children. He’s a pussy. Plain and simple. To have your wife removed from your home and your girlfriend moves in shortly after is sickening. Why didn’t HE leave the house? Why did he make her leave? Why didn’t he share 50/50 custody? Those kids were not in any danger with her. She quit her job and raised them and took them to school and extracurricular activities and they had friends. It almost sounds to me like he found a girlfriend and wanted to get rid of Catherine and didn’t want to pay child support and alimony. He wanted to make it sound like she was crazy and she pushed him to the edge and he needed to find a girlfriend. Again, I hope he finds himself someone his own size that he can pick on in jail. Let’s see what happens then. He’ll find himself with a broken nose and he’ll learn how to keep his mouth shut. This makes me so angry. I came from a similar situation and my ex had judges and attorneys fooled.
9:21 AM- best comment on here. This is the point.
Then you are as mentally sick as she is. Catherine is not just watching but leaving comments and participating. Her suicide stunt will only prove all the recommendations to remove custody from her were 100% correct. Catherine will validate all the recommendations from the lawyers and psychologists she hates. She is a very mentally ill woman. The total silence from her own family, or any IRL friends and colleagues, speaks the loudest of all.
Oh? Which comments is she leaving, Emotional manip? Do you see her comments everywhere here?
Yup, she and Heard are using the same playbook or are just suffering from the same psychosis: manifesto & incessant filming but this one has the added doozy of a suicide threat to get what she wants. JD barked, walked away from her, and threw her phone off the balcony to get her to stop following and filming. The similarities are uncanny. Oh yeah, and this one also threw in a terminal disease for maximum FB sympathy points. Who’s will dare doubt her now?
Believe all women
“Tailor”,
Catherine and Amber are different people. Catherine wasn’t a movie star. She wasn’t dating Elon Musk and Johnny Depp. Amber wasn’t dating Allan.
“Blah blah … threw in a terminal disease … blah blah blah …“ is a weird comment. Are you gossiping? Informing? Imagining? Wishing it to be so?
Catherine’s intelligence, her ability and her actions reflected her respect for law, her love of her beautiful children and this beautiful life.
The “Believe all women” thing is a logical fallacy. That logical fallacy had nothing to do with the blatant corruption and crimes that hijacked Catherine’s children’s family court custody case. Please do better.
