Not a mother’s advocate

Katie is a good listener. And I thought I vetted and asked the right questions, but ultimately I do not feel I was advocated for. It seemed I was often passed off to her paralegal, who operated in an almost robotic way (void of emotion). This was my whole life on the table and most heart-wrenching...ly - my child's future. I realize the need for reasonable expectations, but I also needed just a touch more compassion and a sense that I was believed about the covert aspects of what I had endured and was enduring to result in a need for a divorce in the first place, and why these things mattered when it came to discussions around my young child. I do also see that it is the family court/law system that can tie the hands of a good family law attorney, but after many months, and many dollars, I simply feel that for reasons I can't determine I was not given the advocacy you hope to gain from hiring an attorney. This review is from a person who hired this attorney. Hired attorney

Amazing & Ethical Lawyer!

I sought out Katie for a child custody dispute. Started my search online and emailed a few lawyers. She responded right away and we actually emailed back and forth FOR FREE for several days. Immediately upon meeting her for the free consultation, We knew we made the right choice. We were not inter...ested in "sticking it" to my granddaughter's father, but we were fighting for the rights of our granddaughter. Court is very scary and intimidating and we knew we needed good representation, as wanted what was best for the child. Katie has a gentle, yet firm approach with opposing counsel and she remained ethical at all times, even when we were so upset and wanting to "get em", she had the skill of calming us down and doing the right thing. Always keeping the child's best interest in forefront . Katie and her staff responded to questions and concerns immediately or as soon as possible. If she couldn't necessarily speak at that moment, she would send an email and let you know she could talk soon. So refreshing to not be left hanging during those emotional times. She would even respond to emails and work on a Sunday to get the job done in a timely matter. I cannot express enough the professionalism and restraint that Katie exhibits. You hear horror stories about lawyers that will do ANYTHING just to get your money. Not once did Katie stretch out the case or provide bad advice for pursuing the case just to make more money. Her rates are very fare and she is worth a million dollars. My granddaughter is safe and well cared for all thanks to Katie! If want an expert that is also well respected by judges and other lawyers in the community, Kate Lammers is the one!!!

Excellent experience

I sought Katie's services to represent me in what should have been a simple divorce. My ex husband was extremely uncooperative and unresponsive during the 4 year process but Katie and her colleagues handled him with professionalism, patience and worked tirelessly to keep the process in motion. Katie ...and her team provided me with ample information throughout the process and typically responded to my questions within the business day. I feel that I was very well represented, Katie and her team were always prepared and forthcoming with what I should expect and how I should prepare. I would highly recommend Katie, it was money very well spent. I am thankful to Katie for representing me, her talent and passion for her craft positively changed my life and vastly improved my situation!

Responsive and Impressive Family Law Attorney

I hired Katie over 4 years ago and she still represents me in all my family law matters to this day. Before Katie, I went through numerous attorneys and fired them all quickly wasting my emotions, time and limited money. After working with Katie, I truly see what it means to have real professional an...d elite representation. I value the professional relationship we have developed over the years and the deep level of understanding she and her team have on my case. I made the long standing commitment with Katie because she is responsive, caring, professional and honest. She creates quick and unique strategies as issues arise. Family issues evolve over the years. There are things I thought never would happen and did, things I never even thought about and happened and didn’t know how to deal with it and Katie was there through it all. I have learned divorce is not a one and done deal with a simple divorce decree. People don’t follow the rules, new things happen and issues will arise and you want to have the best in class attorney at your side and that person is Katie Lammers. The value of service is worth every single penny. I am comforted in knowing she has the best interest of my child and I in mind. Katie is extremely knowledgeable about family law and how to apply it to your case. She was able to talk me down to reality in highly emotional and hurtful moments. She will be your advocate and guide in times that are hard. You will be happy you had her on your side. I made a commitment to Katie by entrusting her to represent me and protect my most valuable gift in life, my child. In term, Katie has given her all in every situation and dug in deep when it mattered most. She shows her level of integrity with every interaction. She is an impressive family law attorney and the legal profession and those she represents are lucky to have such a valuable asset. I am delighted to know I have a strong and powerful attorney by my side – can you say the same? My advice – stick with best and invest with Katie Lammers.

Exceeded all expectations

Katie is an amazing attorney. She is extremely knowledgeable about family law and how it can work with your case. She is responsive to communication and kept me well informed on my case. She has a very natural ability to defuse hostile and hard emotional situations (especially when dealing with famil...y law) and put my mind at ease. I trust Katie and value her advice in things relating to my legal investment relating to my child. She is worth every penny. She genuinely cares about what she does, doing the right thing, and helping others. I would hire Katie again and plan on keeping her as my permanent family law attorney.
