Very knowledgeable and informative!
I have used this attorney several times and even though she's been licensed for less than a year she already has a tremendous amount of knowledge and experience! She puts her clients needs above all else and makes sure that YOU get what YOU deserve. I definitely know who my attorney is in Houston!

"I endorse this lawyer."
"Katherine represented a company in which I am a member against our general contractor. We hired the general contractor to build our current office building. We began having problems with water penetration into the building not long after moving in. In the lawsuit we alleged defective workmanship against the general contractor and the subcontractors who installed the roof and stucco exterior. Katherine was instrumental in helping us to achieve a very favorable recovery, which has allowed us to repair our building. I highly recommend her for any civil litigation matter and particularly construction related litigation."
