Ms. Watson was referred to me by another attorney to help me with a rather simple matter concerning having a criminal case file sealed. I found her to be very friendly, extremely knowledgeable and tremendously accommodating. My only complaint was that I was never able to meet Kathryn in person. It turned out that I was not needed in court and she handled everything herself. If you want an attorney to be hands on and to give you the feeling that she cares about you and her other clients, Kathryn would be my first and only choice in Montgomery County. Thank you Kathryn for all your help.
As a local business owner I have needed and used attorneys for many issues, Probate, Trusts, IRS and Tax issues. When you do, you discover there are good ones and those that lack the professional acumen and deportment you expect from a profession that requires such attention to detail and can impact peoples lives to the extent the practice of law can. My experience with Katherine highlights this point. I developed a need for legal services relative to a messy divorce.
I did not know Katherine at the time, but in our initial interview I was impressed with her professional appearance, deportment and knowledgeable recommendations. I was also impressed with her fees-- as my experience had taught me to avoid legal advisors that traded services as the 'discount' attorney. This experience has taught me the good ones are worth the extra few dollars--as they expect to earn it.
Over the course of the following months, she carefully guided the process, was manifestly well ahead of the game, extremely attentive to my concerns, responsive and available.
From a professional standpoint this would have seemed to have been sufficient, but there is more and this is the reason I have decided to endorse her. Her recommendations--from the outset--were spot on. Her counsel proved she knew her trade, the law and had a working knowledge of the people we were dealing with. She clearly had the respect of the Court, the Judges and District Attorneys and how best to work with them while representing my interests. Not one time did her advice prove to be flawed. In the months this process took she was never wrong--and there were plenty of opportunities to be wrong.
As a result, I have nothing but praise for her services and would gladly recommend her at every opportunity in the future.
Kathryn Liptrap moved to Texas in 1997 while in the U.S. ARMY, where she served as a PATRIOT missile System Technician. She moved to Montgomery County in 2001 with her son. She worked her way through college and graduated Summa Cum Laude from Sam Houston State University with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, a minor in Philosophy. After working for a year in the oil and gas industry, she started law school at the University of Tulsa, transferring to South Texas College of Law after one year. She graduated from South Texas in 2011.

Search no more!
I was appointed Mrs. Kathryn Liptrap-Watson for my dwi case in June 2016. Throughout the entire process she was always professional yet friendly, knowledgeable, and somehow always got me to relax when I felt hopeless. She answered any questions I had and addressed any concerns in a timely manner. I would gladly and confidently hire her if needed in the future. She is HIGHLY recommended!!!

Really helped a family friend in a tough situation
Kathryn is the consummate professional. When a close family friend found herself in a bind in Montgomery County, Texas, we turned to Kathryn for help. She attacked the situation in a professional manner and I am positive that her understanding of both the law and the inner workings of the judicial system resulted in the incredible results that she achieved. I recommend Kathryn without reservation for tough matters in Montgomery County, as well as any county, in Texas. She is an excellent attorney and an impressive professional.
