For the people ..lol

We could never get in touch with this a ttorney She wouldn't meet to discuss our case, and was very short and rude on the phone. She seemed to do things her way, not acknowledging us if you don't care about your case ...she's the one! Convenience attorney (herself)

Awful

Attorney did not do well in my case. After 4 resets finally the case was disposed of do to not being able to contact accuser nor the witness. She was afraid 2 draw up a dismissal as a result this led to four resets. The charges were not valid nor did she fight for me reasonably. What a let down. W...hat a waste of time. I have lost faith in female defense attorneys. What further made this a disappointment was the fact that when I talk to her on the phone she felt as if I didn't know anything when this is my life on the line so I did my homework and read penal codes that could possibly help my case and she felt that I was saying that she didn't know how to do her job when I was only suggesting or asking opinion on different matters.

"I endorse this lawyer. I met Kate in the Harris County Courthouse elevator. At the time she was a brand new lawyer with a firm commitment to practice criminal law. I have followed her practice over the years and worked with her on cases and can say without reservation she is a fearless fighter for her clients. I know it wasn't easy being a young woman breaking into the male dominated world of criminal defense but she didn't shy away from the challenge and today is considered a top notch criminal defense attorney."

"Kate Welch is a force to be reckoned with in the courtroom. She stands up to fight for her clients when everyone else thinks the case is hopeless. She is a true defender of justice and the Constitution."
