Divorce

Katie - was able to manage my divorce as I had asked, and was able to get the job done before my requested deadline. I appreciate the legal advise and on-site right from the first meeting.

Retaining her was the best choice I could have made

Katie was very helpful in resolving a motion for change of custody. We met for a consultation and she answered all of my questions completely. She kept constant communication and responded promptly to any additional questions I had. She took away SO much of the stress associated with family court and... when the day came, she defended my position so clearly that the judge saw right through the motion that challenged my custody. The motion filed against me was denied and I felt as though a HUGE weight had been lifted. I could not have had a better person to advocate for me and my child. I would strongly recommend her for any family court issues.

Very Professional

She did a great job handling my divorce and was very professional. I have since recommended her to other people needing assistance as well.

Divorce

I hired Katie to handle my divorce. It was a hard decision to file for divorce because I still loved my husband, but could no longer be married to him. I had hired another attorney prior and due to my emotional state during the proceedings, this attorney more or less "fired me" and we parted ways. ... Katie was so patient and understanding with me. She told me in my first meeting with her that part of her job is to be a counselor and assured me that she would move things along through my direction. My husband did not hire an attorney so Katie graciously worked to help him understand what he had to do as well, although that did cost me for her time, which she was entitled to. It was through her kindness and her patience that I was able to get through the divorce process. She reassured me throughout the process that I also deservced to be happy. In court she was my rock and I felt that with her by my side I could complete the final steps. I would reccomend Katie as your attorney. Se will walk you through the process and be there for you no matter what it is you are going through.

Katie Kneissel

Katie provided excellent service and her assistance was invaluable. She was professional and extremely knowledgeable in matters relating to minors and child protection. I would recommend her services to anyone seeking professional advice relating to Family Law.
