Highly Recommend

I hired Katherine to represent me through my prolonged divorce involving custody of my children. Katherine was caring and understanding of my situation and needs, and she fought my case with relentless dedication and professionalism. I can't recommend her enough!! Thank you!

Truly performed miracles

After I was arrested for DUI I thought my life would be over. I was looking at a huge fine, potential jail time, and a criminal and reckless driving history that would have impeded me from landing potential future jobs. However, I did my research and found Katherine. She truly performed miracles and ...somehow the DA decided not to file the charges and Katherine won the DMV hearing for me. So basically with Katherine's help, that awful night of being arrested and possibly charged with DUI was erased and seemed like it never happened. I would not be where my life is today without Katherine's help, I would definitely recommend her professional services!

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2011.

Public Reprimand issued in VA, 2011

updated on 04/09/2013

This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
