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. She always kept the ball rolling on both my side and my x wife’s side of the divorce process. If there were issues, she would do her best to get answers and in a timely manner. I highly... recommend her. She is always making sure you get the best outcome you want.

Cannot day enough good things

Katie is fantastic! She helped me through my slightly rough divorce and made is so much less stressful. She handled everything and was great to work with.

Very Understanding

Katie was available to me right away when I had questions regarding the custody matter of my son. She gave me good advice and her honest opinion on how to move forward with my case. I ended up hiring her to write an amendment to the custody arrangement in my divorce decree. I felt that the fees for... her representation were accurate and fair.

Financial Analyst

Katie Moody is a divorce lawyer that I highly recommend. She walked me through the process of my divorce and was VERY patience with me as i was going at a very slow pace. She reassured me that I was not alone in this method, but when I apologized for dragging me feet, she reminded me that this was ...MY divorce and we could proceed when I was ready to do so. It took over a year for me to get through this, but that was my doing. Once we were more engaged, it took only several weeks to finalize it. She was always there for me kept me up to speed on where we were in the process. On the day we appeared in front of the judge, Katie handled everything and it could not have gone more smoothly. If you need a divorce lawyer, I suggest that you contact Katie Moody.

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.
