Expectional Attorney

Katie was an excellent attorney to work with. With what could have been an ugly divorce she was able to keep things peaceful and always had my children at the forefront of the process. Katie was extremely organized and kept the process moving. She always had myself and children's best interest at he...art. She was always easy to get a hold of and was quick to respond to any questions I might have had.

A+ Experience

Katie was fantastic assisting me with my dissolution. Her office provided the perfect amount of guidance & direction - any time I had a question I could call & immediately reach someone for an answer. Documentation & email communication were always prompt. Literally wouldn’t change a thing.
