Greenberg Traurig [GT] announced today on Facebook that the law firm has accepted the resignation of attorney and shareholder Allan Kassneoff.
According to court filings, Allan earned between 800k and $1 million annually.
His principle work was as a trial lawyer for patent infringement cases.
The resignation comes in the wake of Allan’s wife and mother of his three children, Catherine Kassenoff’s Facebook announcement on May 27, 2023. She said she planned to end her life in Switzerland at an assisted suicide facility.
No one is known to have heard from her since.
[As of press time, Catherine’s Facebook is down.]
Catherine, 54, said she was terminally ill with cancer but blamed the pay-for-play family court system and her husband, who spent more than $3 million on attorneys and therapists to sever her from her children.
In announcing the severing of Allan from GT, the law firm announced on Facebook:
The firm has concluded its review of the situation to determine Allan Kassenoff’s status with the firm. Our primary obligation is to maintain and protect the core values and best interests of our firm, our clients, our lawyers and our professional staff. Allan has been on a short leave of absence and has now resigned from the firm, effective immediately.
The firm is sensitive to the needs of the three children, the primary victims of the situation, and therefore will be creating a dedicated trust fund with an independent trustee for the sole benefit of these children, to be voluntarily funded by the lawyers and staff of our firm. We wish healing and privacy to the children during this very difficult situation.
It is unknown if Allan resigned voluntarily. As a shareholder in the firm, a buyout may be in the works.
Just nine days earlier, on June 2, GT posted a Facebook defense of Allan.
GT’s June 2 Statement:
Allan Kassenoff has been involved in a divorce and custody matter that has been going on for more than 4 years. After lengthy trials and reviewing all the facts, including some videos, none of the 4 judges who presided over the trials or the 2 court-appointed neutral forensic evaluators found him to have committed wrongdoing or abuse as to his children or the contended domestic violence, and instead awarded him sole legal and physical custody of their three children. Nevertheless, the firm will be conducting its own investigation to determine his status with the firm. In the meantime, he is taking a voluntary leave of absence to focus on his family.
Allan’s attorney Constantine ‘Gus’ Dimopoulus also released a statement to The New York Post defending Allan and family court.
At every stage of this four-year custody dispute, the court system has acted responsibly and thoroughly. Following a neutral forensic evaluator’s assessment, the court ordered an immediate order granting their father sole legal and physical custody.
The court also issued an urgent order of protection against Ms. Kassenoff eliminating unsupervised interactions with the children based on what they observed when they were with their mother … While it is always difficult limiting a parent’s access to their children, given the circumstances of this case, it was found to be in the best interest of the children to take these steps urgently.
The children have been in our client’s care for 3 ½ years and they are safe and healthy.
After Catherine’s purported death, an avalanche of media, starting with the Frank Report, swept Allan’s reputation away. Damning videos of him, when he and Catherine lived together, were widely seen.
Frank Report and TikTok influencer Robbie Harvey published videos showing Allan throwing tantrums, calling Catherine a ‘fat, old loser.’ In one video, he taught the kids to sing, “I wish mommy was a dead duck.”
Allan is seen standing at the foot of his wife’s sickbed in one video, telling her: ‘I hate you, Catherine, I hate you. I regret every moment of my life that I met you.’
Other videos show Allan screaming behind doors, yelling at his children to ‘shut up,’ leaving home, refusing to take care of his children as Catherine recovers from a 2017 mastectomy and calling Catherine “that thing” to one of their daughters, who then cries that she doesn’t “want to go with that crazy guy.”

Videos of Allan Kassenoff’s Abuse & Family Court Corruption
Given all the back-and-forth accusations and claims in this matter, I think it’s impossible for anyone to be certain as to what has actually happened over the course of the relationship between Allan and Catherine Kassenoff. There is, however, one objective truth that isn’t dependent on anyone’s interpretation of events, nor subject to personal bias: despite the large amount of fees that he generated for the firm, Allan was, in essence, fired by Greenberg Traurig.
Large law firms do not routinely get rid of partners that bring in millions of dollars of fees. That fact that Greenberg Traurig got rid of Allan after conducting its own investigation into this matter indicates to me that, regardless of all the court rulings in his favor, his peers in the law firm concluded that some of his actions were inexcusable.
“BigLaw partner resigns after terminally ill ex-wife posted videos of his tirades
BY DEBRA CASSENS WEISS
JUNE 13, 2023, 3:24 PM CDT
A Greenberg Traurig partner has resigned from the law firm following its investigation into a situation arising from a four-year divorce and custody battle.
Greenberg Traurig didn’t offer details. In a June 2 statement, Greenberg Traurig said it was reviewing partner Allan Kassenoff’s status with the firm, despite findings by four judges and two court-appointed forensic examiners who found no “wrongdoing or abuse as to his children” and no domestic violence.
In a June 11 statement, the firm said it concluded its review, and Kassenoff has resigned, effective immediately.
The June 2 statement said the judges in Kassenoff’s litigation had made their findings of no wrongdoing after reviewing evidence that included “some videos.” Kassenoff was awarded sole legal custody.
Kassenoff’s terminally ill ex-wife, Catherine Kassenoff, was a former federal prosecutor and former special counsel to the governor of New York. She is said to have posted the videos while announcing plans to die in a medically assisted suicide in Switzerland on May 27.
Videos circulating online show Kassenoff yelling, telling Catherine that he hates her and regrets ever meeting her, calling her a “fat, old loser” and declaring that he won’t take their “spoiled” daughter to school or activities, according to online videos and coverage by the New York Post, News12 Westchester, the Daily Mail, Ms. magazine and Above the Law.
“There’s no excuse for the behavior captured in these videos,” according to Above the Law. “No matter what’s going on in a relationship, the ‘BigLaw screamer’ routine is a toxic environment for children. And insulting and denigrating the other parent in the presence of the kids is heartbreaking to watch. The children’s reactions captured in these clips drive home how damaging it is to witness this sort of rage between caregivers.”
Above the Law cautioned, however, that “these are only a few minutes of the family story, captured by a former prosecutor in the midst of a contentious custody fight.” The blog posted part of an opinion in the divorce that found “manipulative conduct” by Catherine and evidence that she made false allegations of abuse against Kassenoff.
Kassenoff filed for divorce in May 2019, according to a February decision by the New York State Supreme Court’s Appellate Division. He had sought sole legal and physical custody of the children based on text messages between Catherine and her friend, who is also a lawyer.
Catherine asked a court to compel Kassenoff to return or destroy the messages. The appeals court affirmed a decision denying Catherine’s request, based on a finding that the messages were not exchanged as part of an attorney-client relationship.
Catherine also filed a lawsuit seeking return of the texts in federal court, which was tossed in March because the issue had already been litigated in state court. Catherine claimed that Kassenoff illegally obtained access to her texts and emails after she gave him her Apple ID to buy a song through the iTunes store on his laptop.
Greenberg Traurig referred to the children in its June 11 statement announcing Kassenoff’s resignation.
“The firm is sensitive to the needs of the three children, the primary victims of the situation, and therefore will be creating a dedicated trust fund with an independent trustee for the sole benefit of these children to be voluntarily funded by the lawyers and staff of our firm,” the statement said. “We wish healing and privacy to the children during this very difficult situation.”
Gus Dimopoulos, a lawyer for Kassenoff, did not immediately respond to the ABA Journal’s requests for comment in a phone message and an email.“

Catherine’s page is NOT down Frank. It is still available to her friends. It is no longer public, NOT down. Further, I have offered to send you email confirmation that she has passed from her lawyer & as a journalist YOU can reach out to him & should! Just because it will take 4-6 weeks to obtain a death certificate does not mean she is not dead. I’m starting to wonder about your articles. 🤔
What? Frank gave you his email address multiple times in the comments and you still didn’t forward the email? Why don’t you just cut and paste the content of it here, then, if it’s so definitive as you claim?
Are you a troll, Janay? I’m starting to think so.
You are a classic example of empty vessels make the most noise.

Allan Kassenoff‘s attorney Gus Dimopoulous addressed some of Catherine’s allegations for the first time in a statement to News 12:
“We are deeply troubled by the claims that Ms. Kassenoff has pursued assisted suicide and that various media outlets have reported on these claims without confirming their accuracy. It’s important to note that in this very challenging custody dispute, there are three young children involved. Our client has complied with the instructions of various courts to keep the details of this dispute out of the media and off of social media. Ms. Kassenoff has repeatedly taken steps to publicize the details of this custody dispute, generating a large following of individuals who believe her side of the story and advocate on her behalf without fully understanding all of the facts of this case.
At every stage of this four-year custody dispute, the court system has acted responsibly and thoroughly. Following a neutral forensic evaluator’s assessment, the court ordered an immediate order granting their father sole legal and physical custody. The court also issued an urgent order of protection against Ms. Kassenoff eliminating unsupervised interactions with the children based on what they observed when they were with their mother. Ms. Kassenoff violated that order, was arrested, and her access to the children was further limited. While it is always difficult limiting a parent’s access to their children, given the circumstances of this case, it was found to be in the best interest of the children to take these steps urgently. The children have been in our client’s care for 3 ½ years and they are safe and healthy.
Throughout this process, there have been many attempts made by Ms. Kassenoff to disparage our client. Attempts have been made by Ms. Kassenoff to hurt him personally and professionally, including a variety of absurd and baseless allegations and edited videos from more than 4 years ago to portray him in a bad light. Mr. Kassenoff continues to put his children first and their well-being is his primary concern.
Navigating mental illness is very challenging especially on a public stage. We encourage individuals and news outlets to withhold forming opinions or reporting salacious details about this case without understanding the facts and to consider the further potential damage that this type of attention could have on all involved.”

“At every stage of this four-year custody dispute, the court system has acted responsibly and thoroughly.”
Marc Abrams served as “forensic evaluator” on thousands of cases in the White Plains court, reportedly consistently taking the side of the more monied parent against the parent that had been the children’s primary caregiver, routinely ascribing “alienation” and mental illness to primary caregiver moms and putting them on supervised visitation or no visitation with their kids, and consistently serving the purpose of keeping evidence out of court by helping prolong litigation until the weaker party collapses under maximum emotional and financial duress and inability to afford further legal representation.
Abrams was reportedly assigned as FE to Mary Richardson Kennedy and RFK Jr. and Faith Miller (wife of the court’s head judge) was appointed as attorney for the children (AFC). Mary was reportedly subjected to unbearable emotional and financial duress, social humiliation, endless litigation and loss of custody of her kids, for whom she had sacrificed her career as an architect.
Mary hung herself, and her suicide was immediately described as evidence of her mental illness, rather than acknowledged as the result of the horrifying practices of the White Plains court and its powerful court-appointed “forensic evaluators” and AFCs.
NY legislators know this goes on every day and look the other way, saying “we can’t get involved in the courts” and “there’s nothing we can do to prevent someone from taking advantage of the system.” Both legislators and judges depend on lawyers, bar associations and legal industry lobbyists for their nominations and elections– the same lawyers and bar associations who draft and lobby for the law and judicial procedure that creates this system. In the US, the divorce industry transfers an estimate $100bn in family assets and income to divorce lawyers every year– more than the federal government spends on the entire K-college education system nationwide.
“We have no eternal allies and we have no perpetual enemies. Our interests are eternal and perpetual, and these interests it is our duty to follow.“
Thank you for pointing this out. It’s absolutely true.
We are most handsome when we smile well.

NY Judges that made Catherine Kassenoff Childless, Homeless
Judge Lewis Lubell ruled Allan should have sole custody of the kids and sole possession of the family home in Larchmont. He ordered Catherine evicted without notice. lLubell@nycourts.gov (2) Judge Nancy Quinn Koba, who, without hearing from Catherine or the children, signed orders to keep Catherine away from her children nkoba@nycourts.gov (3) Dr. Marc Abrams [above], custody evaluator #1. His recommendation: Because the mother “alienated” the children from their father, they should have no contact with their mother without a paid visitation supervisor listening to every word between mother and child. drabrams@drmarcabrams.com (4) Carol Most, attorney for the children, reportedly billed $270,000 to work for the “best interest of the children.” She recommended the court remove the mother from the children’s lives. gd@dimolaw.com; carolmost@cwmost.com; (5) Let’s not forget Dr. Kathleen E Mckay, MD.

Allan, you spent $3M and lost your $1M per year job to avoid paying child support? I think Gus gave you some bad advice. You should have worked out a dissolution agreement and joint custody with Catherine like normal people and got on with your life. Was the choice you made worth it? What did you gain?
Laurel C.
Exactly. That’s what this is about. Avoidance of child support. The lawyers encourage a fight for sole custody between parents with money, and they and their court hack friends make $$$ along the way. Happens all the time.
And let’s not forget alimony. Given Allan’s income and the fact that they were married for over 10 years, he could have been on the hook for more than $20,000 per month + child support. Not sure if they had a prenup.
My heart goes out to the children.
God only knows how he is treating them now that he has lost his job.
The documents paint a clear picture of the big picture.
Yes!!! Parental alienation by the one who got the most money and the most aggressive lawyers along with the “favoritism” of some in high position
Authorities in New York should encourage Jennifer Cullen and other eye-witnesses to enter a witness protection program ASAP. What happened in the case was an abundance of well-documented criminal activity.
It’s long-past time to reform family courts around the world. Thanks to Catherine’s brave persistence and great work, that case is a good place to start.
The guys an animal. CPS should have those girls out of his care but I’m sure the girls are lost, scared and confused after four years of professionals bashing their mother.
Praying it’s not too late and Catherine’s family can intervene.
Well congrats on getting him fired people. Now how are these girls supposed to be supported if their only remaining parent is unable to work? I feel like everyone has forgotten the poor children with the mob mentality that has taken over this issue. This needs to stop. The more attention people put on this the more those girls suffer. So many people are spreading this information around without even thinking for one second how the girls will be impacted.
@Tom Simmons,
Thank you! Precious few people here seem to realize how much this whole thing is devastating to the children, on top of losing their mother, they have to deal with this horrendous online shitstorm. Thanks Catherine! You didn’t give a crap about protecting your kids.
Swear words again.
Two in that comment, and more in front of the children to teach them to talk that way? 😕
@1:42pm: Huh? Are you off your meds or something?
Who is teaching them to swear?
🙄
Impacted????? Is all about the money??? Have you seen that lunatic screening, yelling along with bad speech in those videos? Have you read his daughters emails about the behavior of their father???? Is that love? And now their mother is dead??? Please refrain from giving an opinion. The damage is irreparable.
The guy made millions of dollars and was a shareholder in the firm, I am sure that he is not suffering and who knows how much money he would spend on the girls, probably just enough for them to survive. Do they even go to school? Does he go to the store to get groceries? What kind of life is he giving them? It can’t only be about money, there are people out there that are barely getting by but they are making sure their kids know they are loved and have a home, he clearly does not give a shit.
Can Gus and Carol help?
Why won’t he be able to work? He lost his very lucrative job at a big fancy firm but there are many kinds of jobs available out there. Also, he didn’t seem to care that Catherine lost her job due to his false complaints or that she was homeless (at least for a period of time) due to his false complaints. The girls should likely be taken out of his custody – they have grandparents and other family on both sides who may be willing to step in. Nobody wants to see the girls suffer and I believe EVERYONE is concerned for their wellbeing. We may all just have vastly different perspectives on what that looks like.
they have lots of support from everywhere
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12183177/Abusive-husband-sent-terrifying-email-NY-mom-claiming-never-stop-win-custody.html
Nope, every moment has been thought out. The next goal is for those girls to NOT be with him but with a family that truly loves them. Your mentality is exactly why so many women stay in these situations.
Someone should audit his accounts to show he didn’t spend the money
This is one of the few cases where I can confidently say that “cancel culture” has merit. May he suffer in isolation and shame for the rest of his mortal life. He has always known that his behavior is depraved, otherwise he would have never gone to such great lengths to torture another human being and isolate three innocent children he doesn’t even care for. His immortal soul will never find peace.
Allan Kassenoff is a dangerous and disgusting individuals, as are his disgusting enablers: his mistress and family, the countless judges and counsel paid off to be apart of this situation, and his colleagues who helped assist him.
It is very clear that a bitter divorce kicked off due to his childish and abusive behavior, and he was attempting to gain control of the situation to protect his name and career. This spiraled into a 3 year long nightmare situation that has victimized three innocent children who continued to be recipients of his abuse while asking for their mother. Everyone involved is morally corrupt and disgustingly greedy. You should all be ashamed of yourselves. Praying that these three innocent girls find peace and healing, and that this dramatic end will finally free them from this abuser.
“It is very clear that a bitter divorce kicked off due to his childish and abusive behavior”
Allan filed for divorce. Catherine stated she did not want a divorce.
“May her girls know forever how amazing their mother was and how much she loved them.“ — Howard Freedman
“… If you knew Catherine, you knew that what she cared about above all was bringing those girls into the world and giving them a great life. When everyone urged her to leave an explosive marriage, she said her children had a beautiful life and she did not want to disrupt it. She was so proud of her talented daughters and had me come up to Scarsdale to watch Charley play violin telling me it would be worth the drive from Brooklyn. She asked me to come to watch JoJo play soccer and Allie sing with a choir at a local Church.
Catherine’s four-year fight to see her girls cost her all her money, She liquidated her retirement savings and was sleeping on couches for much of the time after she was evicted from her home with only twenty minutes to take personal items before leaving. Her judge would not even order her husband to give her back her clothes and she told me that she had heard another woman was wearing them and living in her home. She liquidated the last of her retirement account to pay her half of Charley’s tuition at the French American School and was devastated that her daughter was taken out of that school anyway. The financial situation was dire. Catherine grew thin from stress.
Although the law requires legal fees and court costs to be shared between divorcing spouses, a judge has to order the wealthier spouse to “advance fees,” and Catherine’s judge did not. Recently, her newly-assigned judge ordered some but it was insufficient to cover her expenditures. The sale of the Kassenoffs’ first home in New Rochelle produced some money; and as far as I know, its all she received. And her legal bills kept mounting. And she was fired by New York State at some point after she was arrested on her husband’s complaint although those charges were dismissed when examined.
One month before her death, she bought a modest house near the family home she was evicted from with a contribution from her family. She bought bedroom furniture for the girls and looked forward to the girls sleeping over for the first time. Shortly afterward, a new forensic evaluation came out paid for by her husband and it mirrored the narrative of the first one by the now-disgraced and debarred evaluator; and the judge discontinued visits.
She left that house with whatever equity was in it and her remaining cash to her daughters and appointed another friend from the US Attorney’s Office to serve as executor.
Because Catherine died before her divorce was granted, her estate will not take any part of the marital assets. And under the law of New York State, the husband responsible for her pain can demand $50,000 plus 1/3 of the remainder of her estate before her daughters take their inheritance. And her husband still has a legal case pending against her in Manhattan federal court that he may pursue against her estate.
This is all by way of saying, we do not think there will be much (if anything) to leave the girls and would like to ask for contributions to give them something from their Mom to help them into their adult years.
Thank you for reading this.

How will the money be held for the girls? You know many victim harvesters come to pluck what they can
“The sale of the Kassenoffs’ first home in New Rochelle produced some money …”
Was Judge Thea Beaver who arraigned Catherine in shackles the same Attorney Beaver who was the lawyer at the closing of Catherine’s first home?
Why would she not put the house in a trust and avoid probate?
Can thea beaver help?
Every year, family courts need “a day of nothing”. Our world needs that, too.
What a sad state that our world has come down to The frank Report and a TikToker who are the only ones benefiting. We as a society are failing when we let people like you and Robbie Harvey decide people’s lives and subsequently their children’s lives rather than a judicial process. I hope everyone is careful as now we all live in glass houses. Including you Frank and Robbie
Another threat. 😕
The judicial process? There is no judicial process in family court.
The courts violated Catherine and her Children’s constitutional rights- to be raised and have a relationship with both parents.
Dcf/CPS never took issue with Catherine.
Since when do attorneys have the power to eliminate parents from the lives of their children?
Focus on the cause. Attorney greed. It’s racketeering – not a divorce.
you mean the impartial public opinion of many instead of biased Judges, experts, and custody evaluators?
I think everyone is hoping that eventually the girls will benefit (not today but in the long run) as well as families undergoing similar experiences in family court. Here’s a simple concept – why did Allan file for joint custody in his original divorce filing in 2019? He was perfectly willing to share the girls with Catherine up until the point where “family” court came into play. He did not view her as any kind of danger to them for over a decade. They are the ones who likely convinced Allan he could win at any cost. And they laughed all the way to the bank…
“why did Allan file for joint custody in his original divorce filing in 2019?”
I am willing to bet that Catherine went psycho once the divorce process started, so she forced his hand to move for full custody to protect the children.
1:08 pm. Most parties are crazy during divorces. It’s an awful time. But most people don’t throw their wives out of the house and block the children from seeing them. That is next level abusive. The fact that you are denying this happened and how devastating that would be to anyone shows you are sick
That’s the same pattern many abusers follow. They become angry when you don’t agree to their terms in divorce. They with the assistance of their attorneys aggressively try to get their way. It is like a giant game of hungry, hungry hippo. These entitled men don’t think very highly of women. Allan was in the mindset of winner take all. He and his legal team were out to destroy her when she did agree to his terms in the divorce. They will stop at nothing even if it is causing harm to his children.
I’m willing to bet a friendly bet: you’re the new girlfriend and the date’s already set?
“I’m willing to bet a friendly bet: you’re the new girlfriend and the date’s already set?
”
Nope. I have no connection to this family.
Paranoid much?
10:02 AM – exactly. What people here don’t know is how crazy and corrupted family court is. Some little helpful bird- Gus?- likely let Allan know that he wouldn’t need to pay child support- substantial for 3 kids on his salary- if he had SOLE custody, and they were off to the races. Throw in some bogus parental alienation claims which court appointed mental health people love because it makes them $$$ and which I’m sure Allan encouraged to avoid the credible abuse allegations made by his kids at the beginning, and there you go.
Must be […] or […]
Again must be Suri or her sister. Give it up and do what you do best – suing for a living

Teacher threatens whole class for expressing their thoughts out loud about soft core gay porn being shown to them in her classroom.
I watched the “dead duck video” I only heard Catherine saying to the daughter what did daddy teach u mommy is a dead duck. She said it multiple times. U never heard him utter it. This seems highly manipulative and should beg the question how much of this was conjecture.
This is really highly irrelevant to the situation as a whole. If Allan and any of his enablers ever had the capacity to take their heads of out of their asses, much of the grief in this situation could have been avoided.
How? Catherine was terminally ill and beyond treatment.
Did you hear the girls screaming and crying? Did you hear them say they were afraid of him and not going with him?
Catherine didn’t create that. Allen did.
Did you hear him saying the girls were liars?
Do you see his rages as reasonable?
Maybe you need some help.
All her papers and no terminal cancer report. Hmmmm 🤔
“… Our primary obligation is to maintain and protect the core values and best interests of our firm, our clients, our lawyers and our professional staff. …”
Dear Westchester County family court administrators:
The primary concern of law firms is to protect the best interests of their firm, their clients, their lawyers and their professional staff. That means ultimately, the primary concern of family court law firms is NOT to protect the best interests or well-being of children. If the primary concern of the family court law firms would have been to protect the best interests and well-being of children in Westchester County family courts, Catherine’s children would be three million dollars richer than they are today and their father would still have a job.
Weschester County family courts MUST be sensitive to the needs of children and parents who are primary victims of family court cases. Who will be creating a dedicated trust fund with an independent trustee for the sole benefit of ALL victims of corruption in family courts? Who will voluntarily fund those trust funds?
Everyone should wish healing and privacy to EVERYONE who has been victimized in very difficult “family court cases” — especially the very worst cases.
Who took down her Facebook? Aren’t there any Facebook hackers around to tell us who and where the login was?
It’s interesting the firm will be giving money to the kids. You’re fired but your kids can eat.
Guilt
Frank, will you dedicate a special to Allison Mack on July 3rd? The thousands of fans of the actress will be waiting for that day.
Dude looks like a gargoyle
I am praying this mother is still alive and fighting for her kids. They need her.

NY Judges that made Catherine Kassenoff Childless, Homeless
Judge Lewis Lubell ruled Allan should have sole custody of the kids and sole possession of the family home in Larchmont. He ordered Catherine evicted without notice. lLubell@nycourts.gov
Judge Nancy Quinn Koba, who, without hearing from Catherine or the children, signed orders to keep Catherine away from her children nkoba@nycourts.gov
Dr. Marc Abrams [above], custody evaluator #1. His recommendation: Because the mother “alienated” the children from their father, they should have no contact with their mother without a paid visitation supervisor listening to every word between mother and child. drabrams@drmarcabrams.com
Carol Most, attorney for the children, reportedly billed $270,000 to work for the “best interest of the children.” She recommended the court remove the mother from the children’s lives. gd@dimolaw.com; carolmost@cwmost.com;
Let’s not forget Dr. Kathleen E Mckay, MD. Dr. Kathleen McKay, the second custody evaluator, who replaced Dr. Abrams. Dr. Mckay decided Catherine should not see the children at all, even with a visitation supervisor, denying Catherine’s last wish to see her children before she died. https://www.vitals.com/doctors/1sk5x2/kathleen-mckay https://doctor.webmd.com/doctor/kathleen-mckay-5d858624-6a34-4436-a8d0-a38571a9fe89-overview https://www.ratemds.com/doctor-ratings/2843759/Dr-KATHLEEN+E.-MCKAY-Hartsdale-NY.html
