Great Attorney, Easy to work with, Quick to resolve issues as they arise.
Katie was great to work with. From start to finish with my divorce, she always kept in close communication with me.

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.
