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.

Grateful client

We were so fortunate to be referred to Kitty when our son ran into legal trouble. The situation was traumatic for all of us but Kitty’s knowledge of the law and all the local players helped so much. She is extremely knowledgeable about the law and also compassionate to the client and family involved.... Cannot recommend Kitty highly enough!

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.

One of the Best

We were fortunate enough to connect with Ms. Liell when one of our family members was charged with a crime they did not commit. As we set out to defend them and prove their innocence, Kitty was fantastic. She was compassionate with our family as we faced this incredibly scary situation, and was a t...enacious fighter for justice. She is intelligent, detail oriented and worked extremely hard to get the charges dropped. Words cannot describe how highly we think Kitty and we would recommend her for any criminal defense you may need.
