Lawyer who makes sure you are on the same page

My experience with this lawyer was challenging due to the type of case I had but that did not discourage Katie from making sure we were on the same page. Even if we disagreed on which next steps would be best she allowed me time to express my reasons for my choice and share her reasons for her profes...sional recomendations. She remianed professional, punctunal and appropiately dressed in court. Would recommend to hire again.

Divorce attorney rockstar!

Katie VanDeusen gets my highest praises as a sharp, knowledgeable, compassionate divorce attorney. From our very first conversation, I knew I was in capable hands. Navigating a divorce is never easy, but she made the process as smooth, efficient, and painless as possible. Katie was always prepare...d and I appreciated the clear communication, timely responses, and honest advice I received every step of the way. She was not the first divorce attorney in charge of my case, but came in and resolved everything efficiently and favorably. If you're looking for a divorce attorney who is sharp, compassionate, and 100% committed to getting the best outcome for you, look no further. I’m beyond grateful for everything she did for me and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone going through a divorce.

Katie does an amazing job. When I first retained her and had the initial conversation with her about my case I already felt heard and knew that she was going to help me through it. She has made my divorce such a easy process with all of the communication and the check in's to make sure I was keeping ...up and understanding everything. ALL attorneys should be like Katie!

MSA and AJ

I was referred to Katie from a childhood friend who had worked with Katie in the past. Katie and her team were absolutely fantastic! Although the proceedings were to be amicable at first, and proceeded to become rather difficult, Katie was able to navigate me through everything with grace and compas...sion. I would recommend her 100 times over to anyone looking for help in this difficult situation. She was very clear and direct, and very responsive to requests and with communication. Truly wonderful to work with.

Katie has been my lawyer throughout my divorce and everytime I feel hopeless she recognizes that I need and a little extra and makes time to discuss my case in depth. I really feel blessed to have her on my sode.

  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
