Wonderful!

We can't say enough wonderful things about Katie! She was amazing during our adoption, our biggest advocate and cheerleader. She explained how each step would work and always was available if we had any questions. Everything went as smoothly as possible, and we finalized in just over three months (we...'ve had friends who didn't finalize until after a year). Should we ever adopt again, Katie would be our first call. Thank you again!!!

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.
