Highly Recommend for Traffic Defense

I recently hired Katherine to represent our son in a reckless driving case, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. From the very beginning, she was professional, knowledgeable, and reassuring. She took the time to explain the legal process clearly and kept us informed every step of the way.... Her expertise and guidance helped us feel confident going into court. Most importantly, she achieved the exact result we were hoping for. We are incredibly grateful for her hard work and dedication to our son’s case. I highly recommend Katherine to anyone in need of strong, effective legal representation

Miracle worker!!!

She didn’t miss a beat with my case and didn’t let a single detail get past her. Was able to get the best outcome possible for my case. Would recommend her to anybody needing a lawyer.

Outstanding, Caring Service!

Katherine and Kelli, her assistant were an answer to a prayer! My son had never had a ticket much less reckless driving ticket. Katherine was with us from the start calming our fears and representing our son. She gave us detailed instructions on how he could volunteer (even gave us a list) to expr...ess his regret to the city of Virginia Beach. She had us get a calibration, which showed he was not driving at the speed that he was ticketed for, and she also had him take the REDAP course, and this was before we ever set foot in the court room. Katherine supported my son and myself 100 percent, even filing an appeal when she felt the first ruling was not justified. My son will still pay his ticket and court fees, however without the help of Kathleen and Kelli it could have been much, much worse! We highly recommend her if you are in need of a lawyer!!

Reckless driving charge

Katherine was beyond professional. She advised me on steps to take to reduce a reckless driving charge in court. This was my first and only reckless driving charge and her advice was invaluable. If I were to need legal assistance in the future, I would not hesitate to contact Katherine again. It was... an absolute pleasure working with you Katherine.

Criminal defense lawyer | May 16

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I worked alongside Katherine when I was a former prosecutor, and later I tried cases against her as a defense attorney. She then left to become a defense attorney herself, and she is an incredible advocate for her clients. Her time as a former prosecutor serves her well, allowing her to analyze a case for its strengths and weaknesses from every side. She is confident and outspoken in the courtroom, and well respected by the judges she regularly appears before."

Relationship: Co-worker

"Katherine is an amazing advocate. She was so good as Commonwealth Attorney (Prosecutor) in case I tried against her I thought it would be better to have her on my side than have to fight against her in court. Katherine is your go-to attorney for any criminal matters from Felonies to Reckless Driving. And because she was lives on the Peninsula she is your definite smart choice if you are facing charges in Hampton, Williamsburg, Yorktown, Newport News or Gloucester."
