Posted by A. A. from Montgomery County, MD | September 2, 2022 | Consulted Attorney

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

OUTSTANDING WORK ETHICS

I was excited to talk to Katie about my case, and she took the time to listen to me for over the scheduled time. After listening to the facts that I provided her with, Katie went into a long discussion about the possible strategies, and I was confident that she will be my attorney. After more than tw...o hours into the discussion, Katie explained to me the best approach and then explained to me that her current commitments may not allow her to take on my case. I was content with her explanation. The thing that shocked me is that Katie did not charge me a dime for her precious time. I am still in shock to this day and don't know how I can 'repay' her for her precious advice. This speaks a lot to Katie's work ethics! I strongly recommend her to anyone seeking a knowledgeable attorney in family case, child custody, etc. That doesn't mean you won't be charged. She made an exception for me because of some procedural/technical/law minutia.

Outstanding attorney

Ms. Thomas was a pleasure to work with during my case. She was always available and quickly returned my calls and emails. She is an excellent advocate for my son and she won my case for him. He now has all the help he needs in school because of her determination. I would highly recommend her for a c...hild advocate in school.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education

  • 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.
