Awesome!

I can’t recommend Kathryn and the Karp & Iancu law firm highly enough! From the moment I reached out, they provided exceptional service and support. Kathryn’s expertise and dedication were evident throughout the entire legal process, and she always kept me informed and reassured. The entire team at K...arp & Iancu was professional, responsive, and truly cared about my case. Thanks to their hard work and commitment, I achieved a favorable outcome. If you’re in need of a reliable and trustworthy family lawyer, look no further than Kathryn and Karp & Iancu!

Amazing Attorney - Highly Recommend!

Attorney Potratz and her legal assistant, Angie, were amazing to work with! I came to Karp & Iancu with a rough agreement between my now ex-husband and I, but he was unhappy with it which made me nervous and anxious. They not only took care of EVERYTHING, but they answered all of my lengthy concerned... emails and texts very timely as different topics or fights would come up in the process between my ex and I, even if they were sent after-hours, and they were responded to with the utmost care as if I was family or a close friend. They helped me understand what legal implications there were with each topic and helped me achieve the outcome I had hoped for when I came to them! As a woman, I felt empowered after each phone conversation or email exchange I had with them - as if they were helping me take my life back! I am truly grateful I found them and highly recommend Attorney Potratz and Angie for anyone looking for an amazing Divorce Attorney. Thank you, Kathryn and Angie!

Excellent Attorney

Attorney Potratz represented me and appeared for me in a traffic violation matter last fall. She was very professional and prepared for the hearing. I was very nervous and despite of a long wait for the zoom hearing she was very patient and she was able to calm me down. She got me the exact outcome... I was hoping for. I would definitely recommend Attorney Potratz to my friends and family to handle traffic and family cases as well.

Thankful!

Since hiring Attorney Potratz in December 2020, my husband went from not even legally being his child's father to now getting his daughter in Texas regularly ALL thanks to Kathryn's hard work, passion, and tenacity. The legal system was intentionally weaponized against him by his child's mother when ...she moved the child across the country from TX to WI at 4 months old (without my husband's knowledge or consent), but Kathryn fought for him & our family at every turn with unwavering empathy & understanding. After 3 years of fighting this battle, my husband and I can finally relax and enjoy our marriage & the beautiful life we have built together. Kathryn's "about me" on Karp & Iancu's website is more than accurate when describing her many attributes. She works not only for you, but for your family. She seeks out the best interest of all parties involved in an effort to give your child the best life they can have and to come to a fair agreement. She is trustworthy, honest, and knowledgeable. We truly respect and admire Kathryn.

Great Lawyer

Kathryn helped me out tremendously during my divorce and just recently helped me with other issues steaming from my divorce. She is kind and does everything she can to help her clients out. I know if I ever need anything, I will hire her again.
