Divorce

Several people in my life have Use Moddy as their lawyer and i when i was refereed to her i knew she was the perfect person for my case, She provided detail and attention to my case , gave me a good explanation of the process and got me involved to understand everything that was going on. The patie...nce throughout was outstanding considering my case had some complications. I am free now and it took a very short time. I love how my case was handled, worth every $ .

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... could to help save as much attorney costs as possible. When I first met her, she told me my case wasn't that strong and didn't recommend I take my issues back to court during her free consultation. Instead she imparted me with some wisdom during that initial meeting and when I returned to her over a year later after meeting those recommendations, she gladly took me on as a client. In all my years of working with other attorneys, NO ONE has EVER gave me honest feedback and didn't unnecessarily make me spend money I didn't need to for a battle I was likely to lose. If you're looking for an attorney who will fight for you, who is honest, upfront and just genuinely a good person who happens to be an attorney, look no further, Mrs. Moody is the only attorney you are looking for and you should hire her.

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.

Excellent and professional lawyer

Kathy is an excellent and helpful lawyer, asked her to help me in a divorce. She was very empathetic, supportive, and knowledgeable in that area. Besides, she tackle and provide advice on very important issues, does not leave you wondering, and always communicates/advises you on the steps and what... they would lead to. I appreciate her help and advice.

Helpful and Professional during my entire divorce process.

Katie was very informative and helpful to me during my divorce. She was clear about what was going to likely happen, how to gather the information necessary and compassionate while doing so. She made the entire process less stressful and always answered any questions and concerns I had. She was great... and personable. I would highly recommend Katie to someone looking for help with their family's needs.
