Awesome

Katrina was a delight to deal with, explained everything so I could understand. I have already sent her family members to handle their wills.

kind referral

Although Katrina was not able to help with my specific issue, the office did contact me quickly and refer to another attorney. The advice was appreciated.

At The Top Of her Game

Katrina was a excellent advocate. She told me what I needed to hear not what I wanted to hear. The cold hard truth enabled me to make the smart decisions that ultimately brought about a favorable out come. Her courtroom performance was superb and she had sincere genuine empathy for my situation. I ...feel her 14 years of experience were also invaluable. I highly recommend Katrina.

Excellent and Caring Attorney

Katrina is an excellent and caring attorney. She handled my separation and divorce and kept me informed every step of the way. She explained everything so that I understood and answered all my questions or concerns without fail. I'm glad I chose Katrina to represent me because she always advised m...e keeping my best interests in mind.

Excellent Attorney

Excellent and caring attorney. She is exetremely knowlegeable and was very informative throughout my divorce. She turned a very difficult situation into a less stressfull one for me. I don't know what I would have done without her and would highly recommend her.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
