Highly Talented and Dedicated Counsel--- Hire her while you can!

I hired Katherine after a falling out with the attorney I had originally retained for a barrage of serious charges hurled at me by the state. I had retained a well-known, big reputation type, that didn't seem to know a thing about my case until the morning it came up-- I was fed up. Katherine sold... me on her smarts and experience during our initial consultation, and her fee was extremely reasonable. I retained her, and it was one of the best moves in my life. I genuinely believe that if it weren't for Katherine I would be in prison right now and not writing this endorsement for her. Katherine saw the charges for what they were--- "mostly B.S." The state tried to capitalize on my arrest record and struggles with alcoholism. Katherine took sincere interest in my case and often spoke to me about my case after hours and on weekends. She stood by me while I sought treatment and saw me as the talented well-intended person those close to me know I am. Her experience in felony review helped me tremendously. She stood ready to fight my case in trial, but I decided she had mitigated my penalties to the point where it would be prudent for me to settle the case. She is an absolute steal at her current rates because she is young, i.e. not a 60 year old white man with too many cases than they could ever handle. She is a truly driven woman who will rise to the top of this field. As her demand grows she will be harder to retain as she is the quality over quantity type. Her attention to detail is second to none, and her professionalism is paradigm. I consider Katherine to be dear friend of mine now, and I will not be forgetting about her services until I am dead or suffer from Alzheimer's. Call me directly if you want to know anything else about my experience with Attorney Katherine Levine. Mike

Lifesaver!!!

I hired Attorney Levine after our initial consultation. She knew how to think outside the box of likely outcomes. Her fees were extremely small compared to her ability to challenge the status quo. She spent the entire day with me in court in hopes my unlawful charges would be dropped. She made t...he "zero to none" and "not likely outcomes" my reality!!! Don't hesitate!!! Call her before it's too late!!!

Best Lawyer I've Ever Had

I hired Mrs Levine for a case earlier this year and I must say she was well worth it! I was looking at a very steep penalty and she did everything to get me off with a much lesser charge. I then hired her for another case and it was handled within a month! Like I said already, she is the best lawyer ...I know and will continue to hire her for any legal issues.

Relationship: Co-worker

"I worked with Ms. Levine in the CCSAO for several years before she opened her criminal defense firm. Ms. Levine is an extremely hard worker. Often she spent many long hours pouring over her cases and researching every possible angle to make sure she presented a passionate and credible case to the judge, or in some cases, a jury. Ms. Levine cares about her clients and is phenomenal trial attorney and legal mind. I endorse this lawyer."
