Sometimes life happens to you. You don't know what to do or who to call. I was given Katie Clary's number. Thank goodness! She treated me like more than a client. Katie is loved and respected even by the judges to the point they want to give her whatever she asks for. That is how good she is at her j...

Ms. Clary May be small but she is mighty! Her strategy did not disappoint in my case. She thinks outside the box and is completely honest with you. 10 out of 10 for sure.

From the beginning of this legal process (after being referred to Katie from a trusted, astute lawyer), to hearing the verdict of my DWI and Unsafe driving charge being dismissed, to now starting the process of getting my charges expunged, I am soooo happy that I made the right choice in trusting Kat...

I followed her advice, did what she told me and my case was dismissed. She walked me thru the long process, explained everything and I was taken care of. Highly recommend her.

I had an unfortunate situation involving a BUI on the lake. I contacted Kathy Clary's office and left message. I got a return call back from Ms Clary that day. We discussed my situation for at least 1.5 hours. I was impressed with her attention and details. The case wasn't heard for over 2 years...
"Working with Katie on cases is great as she is extremely knowledgable and a zealous advocate. I would recommend her to anyone that needs expert criminal defense help."
"I have known Katie for several years as an attorney and former police officer. She is very sharp and I have seen her win many criminal defense cases. I endorse and recommend Katie!"
"Katie is the perfect balance of sweet southern belle and savage attack dog. If you are in trouble, this is the woman that you want on your side!"
"Katie Clary is an incredibly skillful and talented criminal defense attorney. She is articulate, thorough and creative. She’s a tenacious advocate for her clients and her work ethic is second to none."
"Katie is a force to be reckoned with in the criminal courts in Charlotte. She prepares ferociously, and is brave in pretrial motion hearings and trials. I rarely take on DWI cases anymore unless they are complex and Katie agrees to be co-counsel with me. Together we have succeeded in two such challenging cases recently."
"I have been fortunate enough to work with Katie on a couple of cases. She is tough, detail oriented, and a fantastic trial attorney. She is also a great mentor to young attorneys like me and always makes herself available to answer my questions and help me learn. You can't go wrong with Katie!"
"I strongly endorse this lawyer. I had the pleasure of working with Katie Clary in the same firm for about five years and have continued to observe her work in and out of the courtroom. She is a dedicated, thorough, and effective advocate for each of her clients."
"Very personable and excellent advocate. Very elequent and sophisticated public speaking skills. I have seen her in front of the judge and I hope to soon achieve her level of advocacy. I would personally hire and can imagine she’s especially effective in front of a jury."
"I endorse Ms. Clary. She is a keen advocate who zealously fights for her clients in court. Her demeanor is professional and she is highly regarded in the community."
"I endorse this lawyer.Katie Clary is one of the most naturally gifted trial lawyers I have had privilege to observe in my 37 years in the practice of law. Her preparation is exhaustive. Her zeal is readily apparent. Her skill and experience are superior. Her cross examinations should be taught in law schools. Her reputation is outstanding. She has other lawyers observing and taking notes at her trials. And finally, her results are amazing. She has won too many cases to count, many with what looked liked impossible facts to overcome. She has the "IT" factor that only a few talented lawyers possess. Her power of persuasion, to judge or jury, is outstanding. I unhesitatingly recommend Katie Clary to anyone who is in need of a lawyer. She cares deeply about her clients beyond just their legal needs."
"I worked with Katie for two years (2012-2014) and have referred numerous clients to her since getting to know her in 2012. As a result, I've observed her and her work first-hand, and have heard back from clients who've hired her. She is everything a criminal defense attorney should be: calm and also passionate, with great instincts and also experienced, compassionate and also tough. Katie has a unique ability to connect with people -- clients, judges, opposing counsel, jurors -- something that is really key in this area of the law."
"Katie is an incredibly gifted and skilled advocate who dedicates herself to reaching the best outcome for every client she represents. She is a tremendous trial attorney who aggressively argues on behalf of her clients. I whole-heartedly endorse Katie."
"Katie Clary is one of the best criminal defense attorneys in Charlotte. I have seen her pick apart the governments case and get her clients the best possible outcome. Their stress level seems to go way down after talking to Katie. She is an amazing attorney!"
