Grateful for Katie's Help and Support

During a stressful time, Katie was patient, thoughtful and careful as we navigated my divorce together. I am very grateful for her expertise and guidance.

Posted by Larry | August 11, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Excellent Family Law Attorney

My experience with Katie was excellent. She is knowledgeable about the divorce court proceedings and a skilled litigator. Very responsive in communication, if she was not available her outstanding paralegal Shelby Burns would be. Both were efficient and prices reasonable. Highly recommend.

Divorce attorney

Katie did an excellent job for me and the staff there were very helpful as well. I would recommend her to anyone needing an attorney for a divorce.

Kind and thorough

Katie and her assistant, Shelby, helped me with my divorce. They walked me through all of the technicalities and were quick to respond when I had a question. I would definitely recommend Katie to a friend in need of assistance.

Relationship: Co-worker

"Katie Naset is a successful trial lawyer who represents clients statewide in divorces involving high net worth, alimony and difficult child custody issues. Katie receives many referrals from attorneys and prior clients because she is a relentless and tireless advocate. You'll never hear her boast about her credentials, but she is highly respected by her peers, Judges and past clients because of her honesty, high intellect (she earned a BA degree from Grinnell College in just three years and graduated With Distinction from the University of Iowa College of Law) and knowledge of the law (she's also served as a Judicial Law Clerk in the Iowa District Court for Polk County). If you are facing a difficult divorce or child custody case, then Katie Naset is a lawyer you want on your side."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Katie is a great lawyer. I have worked with her on legal matters and she is a strong advocate for her client but also looks for creative ways to solve problems. She has the skill of knowing when to take a tough stance, and when to offer a compromise, and she does so after thoughtful consideration of her client's interests. When she is on the other side I know she will operate in a professional and fair manner."
