Divorce, Custody n TRO
From the second I met her.. I simply felt safe! She's a smart, straight shooter, who doesn't try n give you false hope or make promises she can't keep. I came to her scared to death and afraid I was for sure going to lose custody of my only child as well as a facing a TRO based on untrue and inacc...

the best
i needed some help with post divorce issues, and I had bad experiences with my prior attorney. Ms. Stockton was very helpful, trustworthy and experienced. I can't say enough about the legal represetnation that I was given.

Worst Attorney Ever!
Katie was not prepared for any hearing. She did not prepare for the divorce hearing at all. I lost everything I put into my marriage. I cannot afford to get a place of my own and often have to sleep in a garage. Her forensic person was even worse. Completely unprofessional and not prepared. Stay away...
I pride myself on how each and every case is handled in my office, including assisting clients with the selection of qualified, well-respected experts. My clients are my highest priority. I make myself available to discuss options and consequences and I always fiercely advocate for every client. My team and I would welcome any direct contact to discuss the concerns outlined in this post. I do understand that maneuvering through family court litigation can be overwhelming especially with the delays that the Courts are currently experiencing due to staffing issues and case overloads. I recognize the extreme emotions that matters involving divorce, custody and domestic violence, can invoke in each client and I am sensitive to those feelings and expressions of frustration and defeat. It is the most difficult of times that I enter many of my client’s lives. End results such as trial decisions and settlements are never achieved without the input and agreement of the client and those results include a culmination of many other factors. I am saddened to hear that you are claiming that you are living in a garage – I am not aware of any of my current clients who do not have proper shelter and whose basic needs are not met. In closing, I wish you well and welcome any further communication and or questions you may have. Please direct them to my office – we are always willing and ready to discuss and review cases and outcomes.

Would Never Recommend
Please do not use this attorney unless your case is very straightforward. She cannot handle difficult cases and was intimidated by my ex-husband. She has NO CONCEPT of verbal, emotional or financial abuse. She is on vacation at least once monthly and is very careless in her preparation. Several mista...
