Greatest public defender

Katherine isn’t just a good lawyer she’s a good person I was picked up on a Thursday night with a bench warrant and if it wasn’t for Katherine I would have spent the entire weekend in jail but because she cares and is good at her job the next day I was home. I gave her plenty of reasons to dump me as... a client but she stuck with me. There is no doubt in my mind that if I had any other attorney the outcome would be much worse for me. I’m forever grateful for Katherine and the service she provides,

Excellent and Knowledgeable

Katherine Caola is a fantastic attorney. She is professional with a complete understanding of the law. She not only kept me informed about the status of my matter, she also explained very clearly each step in the process so I understood what was happening. She is compassionate and will fight for her ...clients.

Excellent litigation attorney

Katherine diligently helped me litigate against a state agency. She conducted hours of research and worked seamlessly with a team of attorneys. She was the point person on various aspects of this case, and worked my case as if it were her own. I hope to never need a lawyer again, but if I do I am ...calling her.

Awesome Attorney!

Ms. Caola represented me on a possession charge out of Mercer County. She zealously defended my rights against lies the cops lodge against me. She fought to get my case dismissed, and was able at my first court appearance! I highly recommend Ms. Caola, who is a well rounded, very nice, informative,... and a reasonably priced attorney. I have recommended her to many friends and they have also been very pleased with her representation and advocacy of their cases.

A Promising young attorney

As a business owner I have dealt with many different types of people in a broad spectrum of areas, and this also includes lawyers on different occasions. Katherine is extremely professional and and knowledgeable, she has no problem going above and beyond for her clients. Katherine has been helping m...e with trademarking my current design companies business name. Although she is new in town you would never think it, you would think she has been doing this for some time. she is very responsive and quick to answer any questions, she is also extremely informative and knows how to explain the questionable when one does not understand what needs to be done. She will become highly recommendable in my book and shall be used again, I will definitely refer her to others who would ever be in need of a an very sophisticated lawyer.

  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
