Great results

I hired Kate Delk and was extremely pleased with her representation. She will break down all of the potential scenarios in your case, while making you feel respected and taken care of. She was a prosecutor for many years, and she knows the lawyers prosecuting your case. She also has the total and com...plete perspective of both sides of the case, prosecutor and defense attorney. In my humble opinion, with all other things being equal, you need the lawyer with the best relationships with the other side. This is Mrs. Delk. Add onto that her friendliness, professionalism, and knowledge of the law and she is an obvious choice. I went to court today and received the best realistic outcome I could have expected. I believe that my choice of lawyer had a lot to do with this

Retained Kate Yeager as my Attorney*

Attorney Kate has been very open and up front. She is very personable and speaks layman's terms. Always has been available to answer questions.

Amazing strong-minded women

Kate was very important in helping my son navigate the system. We are from a different state and found ourselves in uncharted waters. I called five attorneys who were all wanting unreasonable retainers and suggesting unreasonable options for my sons situation. Kate saved the day! She is honest- and i...s fair in her fee's and billings. She understood the system and really fought for my son while being respectful and setting a great example. I appreciate a strong women like Kate and ANYONE that is in need of an attorney can use someone like her. She is amazing! We could not have even come close to getting this resolved without her expertise and work ethic.

Awesome Reliable and Aggressive Attorney

First I want to make clear I was a client of Kate Delk. Mrs Delk is an honest and an aggressive lawyer. Mrs Delk was contacted by me on a Sunday and was readily available to discuss my case even though I lived out of state. After sending some documentation via email to her, she discussed a plan of a...ttack on the case. Mrs Delk hit the ground running first thing the next morning and by that afternoon had my charges dismissed and rescinded. Mrs Delk is a caring, easy to talk to attorney, and will fight aggressively for you. You will not feel as if your case is not important ,because to her it is. If you need a fast acting attorney, I highly recommend Kate Yeager Del. You will not regret the decision.
