Helpful and responsive
We reached out to Katie to handle a possession case for someone who lives out of state. She was great about corresponding remotely and worked hard to get us through all of the steps with as little inconvenience as possible. Katie made it fairly painless for us to deal with a situation we'd never faced before and she answered all our questions without making us feel like we were bothering her.

When in doubt call Katherine
This lady is amazing! I had no positive outlook and she fought hard and took 135 years down to probation. Thanks again. Would hire her for anything. Excellent awesome.

Will persue all options and actually fight your case.
Was very impressed with her ability to gather all relevant evidence, challenge any mistakes made, and put pressure on prosecution with her diligence. She was willing to fight for me rather than just work with the other side for an easy outcome.

I’m highly satisfied on the outcome of my case. Not only can you tell that they really care for their clients but also are very understanding & will work with you to set up a payment plan. Highly recommend.

Katherine was very attentive. From the very first phone call I knew she was going to be in my corner to the very end of my case. She is extremely empathetic and had a great attention to detail. Highly recommended.

Criminal defense Attorney | Nov 18
Relationship: Worked together on matter
"I endorse Katie as a very competent, professional attorney fights for her criminal law clients."
Criminal defense Attorney | Aug 26
Relationship: Worked together on matter
"I've had the opportunity to recently work with Katie on a felony drug matter involving a search warrant and multiple co-defendants. I can't say enough about how impressed I've been with her ability to identify and analyze key issues that raise reasonable doubt on behalf of those involved. She's very sharp and has a keen understanding of how to best simplify complex issues. I would collaborate with her again in a heartbeat. I also wouldn't hesitate to refer a friend or family member to her for serious criminal defense representation."
Criminal defense Attorney | Nov 10
Relationship: Co-worker
"Katherine is compassionate, dedicated, and manically focused on getting the best possible results for criminal defendants (even after her role in a case has ended). Her standards for zealous representation should be idolized by attorneys everywhere."
