Posted by anonymous | May 21, 2025 | Consulted Attorney

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Doesn’t answer any emails or call back for anything.

Don’t waste your time. Doesn’t get back to you for any consultation. Wrote an email and left a message on a Thursday, it is now Wednesday and nothing at all.

Great Lawyer

My husband and I used Katy Kraft to help us with negotiations with his ex wife. Katy gave perfect advice and legal guidance. Katy was able to quickly understand the delicacy and painfulness of our situations. Thanks Katy. We would highly recommend Katy to everyone.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • 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.
