Thoughtful, Caring, Thorough and Tenacious
Katherine (Kate) was fantastic from the start, at what was at a very difficult time in my life with several life changing events going on at the same time.

Phenomenal attorney!!!!
Kate Flood is hands-down an amazing, effective lawyer. She is professional, highly competent, and accessible. Kate took time to understand what my needs and goals were with custody and financial matters. She then worked really hard to make them happen. My ex introduced a challenging piece of evidence...

Helped my family
I HAD to file for divorce from my husband, because his drug use was out of control. She helped me protect myself and my boys legally. Eventually, my spouse was able to get sober, and we worked everything out. Kate gave me the beat advice and was always there to make sure I made informed decisions.

Very caring attorney
I am still currently working with Kate, but so far she has been wonderful! I've had issues with my ex following thru on things that were decided in our divorce 2 years ago. She has been very helpful in getting these issues dealt with. She is very busy (because she is so good) and it does sometimes ta...

Her ability to guide a client through a case outshines many others in the same profession and I believe this is due to the amount of compassion and commitment she shows to the legal justice system."
"Ms. Flood is a dedicated professional who takes time to listen to her clients and address their concerns. I would have no hesitation recommending her to a prospective client looking for assistance with a family law issue."

She handled a difficult case professionally and with wisdom beyond her experience. Since then, she passed the bar and opened her own practice which is not an easy thing to do. As anyone can tell from the advice she gives, she is caring, smart and knows the law. I would not hesitate to refer a case to her if I was unable to take it myself. I know the "client" would be in great hands.,"
"I endorse this lawyer. This lawyer is well respected and highly qualified in the area of family law."

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2020.
Stayed Suspension/Probation issued in IN, 2020
updated on 06/08/2023Stayed Suspension/Probation means an attorney did something wrong but may still practice law. This type of suspension means the attorney has been suspended, but that the suspension is placed on hold (and ultimately removed) if the attorney complies with certain requirements. In this case the State also monitors the lawyer's activities for a period of time in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
“Note: This was a "stayed" suspension, meaning the attorney's license was not suspended. The attorney has continued to practice law continuously. The stayed suspension was not due to ANY problem or complaint with or about this lawyer's legal work or client representation, but rather arose from an unfortunate situation which occurred in her personal life in 2018.”
