A lawyer's lawyer

Katie is simply excellent. A lawyer myself, I was prepared to point out shortcomings I see often in lawyers and was not going to accept in my first experience as a client. But Katie gave me no reason to do so. In fact, she proved herself a top-notch attorney and advocate in every facet of her repr...esentation. Many good lawyers do well at client communication and information sharing, but fall short in legal writing or courtroom trial lawyering, or vise versa. Katie is the rare lawyer who excels at it all. Despite careful critique, I found no weak points in her abilities at every stage. She won my case. But in analysing our chances before the end, I know if I lost it would in spite of my lawyer's work. I'm proud to call Katie my lawyer and my friend. There is no domestic lawyer I know that I would recommend more highly.

EXCELLENT LAWYER

Katie and her staff handled my case with incredible professionalism and dedication. This contributed to a great and fair result at trial. During a very difficult time for me, Katie showed care, concern and a balanced approach helping to reach a cost effective solution, that in the end benefits my ch...ildren and me. Although divorce is always a tough thing to go through and attorneys contribution sometimes goes unappreciated, it is critical to have great advice. Katie and her team are the right partner for you, I would recommend her any day. Katie thank you.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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