Tenacious, mindful, caring

Katy fought hard for my rights as a dad to stay a part of my son's life. She was focused on what was best for the child in the divorce and unwilling to budge on anything that was not in that best interest. She was available, attentive, and held my hand through a tough divorce settlement, making sure ...I was informed and comfortable with each step of the process. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a family lawyer.

Professional and very responsive!

Katy worked hard to help me win my custody case and made me feel at ease with her rapid response time. I would definitely recommend for anyone suffering through a custody battle or family matter.

Vicious with a heart of gold.

I went through a long and nasty divorce which started with my ex stealing my 2 year old daughter from me and ending with her on supervised visitation. I'm the father too (which is definitely worth noting). When we went to court for a TRO, Katy ripped my ex to shreds like she was the star of her own l...awyer movie having her "A Few Good Men" moment, and my ex was Jack Nicholson screaming a bunch of "I'm about to lose this case" nonsense. If there was an emergency, she was always just an email away. She is also a crafty negotiator who not only got me the deal of the lifetime, but I didn't even have to appear for a final trial, so she saved me thousands of dollars. I would never hire anybody else for this area of law, and if you decide to hire someone else, be cognizant that the opposing counsel might be Katy. If it is her, then prepare to get your ass whooped.

Custody Case

Katy helped me gain primary custody of my daughter through incredible effort, sharp legal knowledge, and compassion for justice. In the beginning, I was frustrated because my case was in a different county and no other attorney could seem to end the uphill battle I had been facing for years. Katy was... quick to get the case in the correct county and file necessary documents to make sure my child was safe. She has the vision to see the bigger picture and prepares you for realistic outcomes. Inside the courtroom, Katy is relentless and commands the room. She is detail oriented, does not back down, and strategically attacks arguments. She will fight for your rights and for justice to be served. She stood by my side through multiple hearings, mediations, purposeful delay tactics by the opposing side, and shut down an attempted third party intervention. Katy is not only the best lawyer in Houston, but perhaps more importantly she is a compassionate, honest, and the most courageous person I know.

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.
