Katie Marie Naset

Katie helped me charter my way through this unknown territory by helping to explain my rights, the legal system, the process, and everything in between. She helped answer every question and responded in a timely manner - even after hours. I truly appreciate the knowledgeable person she is and the s...ensitivity with which she approached the whole situation.

I hired Katie to represent me at a child support hearing since I live 1000 miles away. Katie was exceptionally knowledgeable, reassuring, professional, and has terrific follow through. I've spoken to many attorneys in the 8 years since I've been divorced, but none have treated me with the compassion ...and empathy Katie has for her clients. It's clear that she wants the best outcome for the family involved because she cares, not because it's just a job to her. After I hired Katie I completely relaxed, because I felt that confident in her abilities. I was right; she was well prepared and strongly advocated for my daughter, and achieved exactly the results I had hoped for. I cannot recommend Katie highly enough.

I hired Katie originally for what I thought would be a simple joint custody agreement. When my child's mother refused to agree, we had to push further. She started to keep my daughter from me, have her parents interfere with my time with her, and even demanded that she be allowed to "decide when and ...if" I am allowed to see my daughter at mediation. Throughout Mediation, Pretrial, and court itself, Katie was there for me every step of the way. She worked tirelessly to win custody rights for me. Any time the respondent caused an issue (IE: keeping the child when we had agreed I would have her, her parents removing child from daycare without my permission, etc) Katie was just one call away. If she was busy at the time, she always called me back the same day. Her assistant Shelby was also a great help throughout the entire process. When the case went in front of the judge, Katie destroyed the respondents case. She made the respondents lawyer look like a fool. Their case was full of holes, and Katie made sure to highlight every single one to the judge. The respondent made the mistake of handing over her entire facebook account in the Interrogatories, and Katie went through it with a fine tooth comb. She found messages to a friend of the respondents confiding in her that her boyfriend (a violent felon) was emotionally abusive to my daughter. It took a great deal of effort on Katie's part to find this information, and it proved invaluable at trial. Thanks to her hard work, I was awarded primary physical custody of my daughter. I must admit, when I first talked to the people at hope law-firm, I was a bit worried about the price. They are a little more expensive than some of the other Lawyers I had consulted. However, you get what you pay for. It was worth every penny to have my daughter safe, and in my custody. I would highly recommend Katie Naset to anyone in a similar situation. She is extremely knowledgeable, and takes a personal interest in her cases. I am forever grateful for her hard work and determination in bringing my daughter home to me.

Katie was incredible during my divorce. She not only was extremely knowledgeable and experienced in all of the rules, regulations, past trials, and the overall system, but she was able to actually anticipate my ex-spouse's "next move" (him and his lawyer). Because of this, I felt we were always "on...e step ahead." I felt at the end of the day, what we both walked away with was completely fair. While divorce is far from a winning situation, I felt Katie helped make this a "win-win" for both sides. I had never been to a lawyer before Katie, but after working with her, I will definitely call her again if I need one in the future!

Before being referred to Katie, I had consulted with two lawyers and had essentially accepted that I would not be able to keep my children safe from my ex if I got divorced in the state of Iowa. Katie helped me navigate a confusing and very frustrating legal system and eventually gain what other lawy...ers claimed was not possible. I am very grateful for Katie and her expertise!
