Guiding light in uncertainty
Being a father in the state of Minnesota makes for a very large uphill battle in regards to child custody. This was all until I met Katy. Mrs. Moody is without a doubt the best attorney I had the pleasure working with during such uncertain times. She was honest and direct with me and did what she...

Stay away from this attorney
I hired Katie for my divorce and custody issues. She withdrew from my case 2 days before a hearing and now I have no visitation with my child. Heed this warning!
I am sorry you feel you had a bad experience with my representation. I do wish you had addressed your concerns with me sooner, rather than waiting months until you received an order from the Court with your new attorney. I believe that your recollection of the facts and implication of the results are mistaken, as there are many other factors/issues that necessitated my withdrawal in your matter. Please feel free to contact me directly to discuss these issues further.

When we went to court, I will be honest, the judge seemed to le...

Would recommend
I have had Mrs. Moody represent me in two separate custody matters. She is very professional, and very upfront with what the possible outcomes are, and won’t blow smoke up your ass about what she thinks will be the judges ruling. The first time I hired her, we did not get the ruling we had hoped for ...
