Beware if your case needs an advocate

The firm and it's principal, Ms. Lammers, is set up for run of the mill family law, especially divorce. Ms. Lammers is not who to engage if you want for an aggressive advocate, however. Beware, if your case turns adversarial!

Tough attorney able to see big picture and get results

Katie Lammers is an incredibly experienced lawyer who listens carefully, clarifies your priorities with you, helps you understand your options, and stands with you every step of the way through what can be a long and stressful process in court. She is highly intelligent and really knows the laws. S...he helped me and my family through a drawn out and very acrimonious custody case in which my ex made many unexpected demands and untrue statements-- which, to say the least, was very unsettling and scary to be facing in court. However, Katie was able to consistently move the case forward with foresight and clarity-- always keeping the big picture in mind and not getting side tracked by petty attacks. I have a great deal of respect not only for Katie’s skills as an attorney, but also her compassion and sense of justice in holding steady to make sure we had an outcome that would keep my child safe and let us all get on with our lives in a positive direction. I am in such a better position now than I was a few years ago, thanks to Katie’s advocacy and hard work. I had talked to a couple different lawyers before hiring Katie, and I had kept looking because I felt that no one was quite “getting it” or understanding what was really important to me in my situation. I didn’t want to take short cuts or solve just part of my case, I really needed a lawyer who could work through the whole big messy problem with me, even if it meant a drawn out fight in court. When I had the initial meeting with Katie, I felt like she really listened to the details of what I was saying and in very practical ways laid out the different options we could pursue. I felt like finally I could stop worrying about someone missing something that could trip us up, because Katie saw the big picture and knew what to watch out for. Katie has a strong reputation in the legal community and I felt safe knowing opposing counsel would not try to put one over on her (or me) because Katie and the team at her firm work from such a strong base of experience and are not intimidated by random demands. My experience with Katie was that she knows the laws and knows what will stand up in court. Her team is professional and consistent. They were able to draft concise documents, kept track of details, priorities and dates to help ensure we reached the best outcome possible. Katie or someone from her team would give me updates as things happened so I always knew where we stood and they helped me to make truly informed decisions about what I wanted to do each step of the way. My case involved interstate custody, questions about paternity, and adoption. Some of the proceedings required very detailed understanding of laws that may not come up in all custody cases, but Katie and her team were able to draw on experience when possible and immediately research when necessary. At the end of a long fight, we reached the very best outcome I could have possibly asked for. It is hard going to court, because there are so many factors and no one can say for sure what the outcome will be. However, there is some peace of mind in knowing that you are doing the very best you can with your case. I am very grateful for the help I received from Katie and her team and whole-heartedly recommend her as a family law attorney.

Kathryn Marie Lammers

Katie is a excellent attorney. She listens to your concerns and advises you according to what she feels to win your case. I had her 2 times for my spousal support reduction when petitioner tried to get it reduced after he retired early. Katie has won my case to continue to have spousal support 2 tim...es when petitioner tried to get it reduced. I would recommend Kathryn Marie Lammers very much for family law or divorce attorney.

Forever Grateful!

Katie and her team were amazing. I had a unique case that called for specifics in my hearings, court papers, and extra papers/notions filed outside of more of the "normal" cases. All of my questions were answered and the extras were done to make sure my kids and I was covered and protected on all asp...ects. Thank you Katie and Team for everything you did for my family. I will be forever grateful!

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.
