**Highly Recommend**

Attorney Kathryn Boortz represented my son with professionalism, strategic insight, and genuine dedication. If you're looking for compassionate legal help from someone who truly cares about families, Katy Boortz is an excellent choice. I was very pleased with the outcome of my son’s serious criminal ...case—she advocated for him as if she were standing up for a member of her own family. I wholeheartedly recommend her services. God bless her and her family for the care, compassion, and commitment she shows to her clients.

Kathryn Boortz Law

Kathryn is a consummate professional and achieved a positive resolution for my family and our son Joshua. Our overall experience was outstanding, in that she was accommodating, pleasant and always sought ways to reassure us that she has our best interests in mind. Kathryn helped us in every step of t...he way with our case; we were so glad to have the Boortz Law Firm on our side! She took the weight of the case off our shoulders and handled everything that we encountered. Very professional yet personable at the same time! My family and I made the right choice with the Boortz Law Firm.

Honest Trustworthy and Dependable Attorney

We had a very difficult case that involved a school hearing as well as one with the juvenile courts. It was difficult finding a lawyer that would handle both and within a short amount of time. I'm so glad we were able to obtain services from Kathryn Boortz. She is absolutely amazing. She explained ev...erything throughly not only to us but to our son, her client. She represented him the way we as parents would've wanted to, if we could have defended our child. She truly goes above and beyond for you and your family before, during, and even after your case is over. She is honest, knowledgeable, dependable, trustworthy and hardworking. I can't thank her enough for everything she did for us.

Awesome

My husband and I sought out the help of Kathryn Boortz to assist with a criminal traffic issue. We were nervous the entire time until we began working with Attorney Boortz. She is prompt in her response and research. I felt confident in her ability after hearing her professional opinion on the case. ...She gave possible scenarios and assured us that the end result would be something we could deal with. Everything worked favorably, I would definitely recommend and hire her again if needed.
