Kitty is THE BEST!!

My life got turned upside down, something my family and I were not prepared for. Knowing Kitty's reputation in town, we consulted her first for advice. Little did I know that false allegations would ensue and I would be falsely charged for actions, that I did not commit. I had another attorney at the... time, that tried to handle my divorce and criminal side. Unfortunately, I felt and came to find out they weren't not representing me, as they should. Our gut instinct was to "call Kitty". It was the best decision we had ever made! She took the case and ran with it, she is so meticulous and thorough, she knew exactly what to do. She has been so amazing for us, every step of the way. She shed light and truth into the situation and turned the case for us! We couldn't have done it without her and her team. She understood what was happening and cared for the person I was, she stood up for me. She gave me a voice and stood up for the truth and the facts of the case. She treated me like I was family. I felt she was so trustworthy and made me feel confident and comfortable with her, even though we were in such a horrible situation. She is respected in the field and that's because of who she is and how she practices. She is so smart, and strategic with her actions of the case, and she works for you. I have seen my share of lawyers in the last 2 years and I can tell you without a doubt, that Kitty is the BEST lawyer, I have ever had and witnessed practice. Everyone needs a "Call Kitty" on their side. She is hands down THE BEST! I can't thank her enough for what she was able to do and how she represented me and my family! She gave me the voice we needed, and fought for what was right. I am so thankful and grateful for her expertise and the amazing person she is.

I had the pleasure of witnessing Kitty Liell at Liell & McNeil Attorneys advocate for a beloved family member, and I couldn't be more pleased with the exceptional service this individual received. From start to finish, Kitty demonstrated high professionalism, sophistication, expertise, and dedication..., setting her apart from other firms. Kitty's deep knowledge of the law and her ability to communicate complex legal matters in a clear and understandable manner was impressive. She took the time to listen to their concerns, thoroughly explained their options, and guided them through the legal process promptly with empathy and patience. What truly stood out to me was Kitty's unwavering commitment to achieving the best possible outcome for their case. She was diligent, responsive, and kept them informed every step of the way. We always felt their case was a priority, providing us peace of mind during an extremely difficult and challenging time. Additionally, Kitty's attention to detail and her strategic approach were instrumental in resolving their legal matter successfully. Her dedication to her clients' needs is evident in every interaction. Kitty Liell at Liell & McNeil Attorneys is an exceptional lawyer and a truly incredible human whom I have the utmost respect and admiration for and highly recommend to anyone in need of her services. Thank you, Kitty, for your outstanding guidance, care, and consideration. We are eternally grateful for your knowledge, support, and services. Sincerely, KT

A Smart, Optimistic, and Caring Lawyer

Kitty Liell saved me from being punished by Indiana University for a crime I did not commit. I would recommend her any day to anyone who struggles with similar circumstances. Her love and care for her clients are evident in the hard work and consideration that she puts into your case. I could not be ...more grateful for her help. Without Katharine Liell, my life as I know it and my dreams as I imagine them would’ve been pulled out from under my feet. With her help, I am now able to continue on in my education, and someday, to earn my own career in law.

happy customer

Kitty is an AMAZING lawyer. She lifted the weight off of my shoulders throughout the process which was such a relief. She was so compassionate and made sure to inform me every step of the way. The second I spoke to Kitty I knew she would work so hard to protect me and hear me out. She really is th...e best and her support helped me feel like myself again.

5 stars are not enough. She. Is. The. Best.

I see only 5 star reviews; that adds up. Til I die, I will never forget the feeling when I got the call from Katharine telling me that my case was dismissed. If you are innocent and need the absolute best legal defense, please listen to me- you need to contact Katharine Liell. From the moment I co...ntacted her, she was unbelievably competent, professional, and understanding. She methodically worked through every aspect of my case, along with her team of private investigators and consultants (all of which are also top notch), and unraveled all of the inconsistencies and untrue allegations. I do not want to imagine how my case would have gone if I had not chosen Katharine to represent me.
