Attorney Review September Joy Katje Law Offices

My lawyer Melissa King was very professional and helpful. Melissa communicated in a timely matter and answered all my questions and addressed my concerns. I would definitely use her again if I have any future legal needs as I was quite pleased with the work she did.

Excellent attorney

Great experience in working with Katje Law Firm. Keyra was very responsive and very helpful in helping us through the legal process. September has excellent knowledge of real estate law, and was very helpful and professional in helping us reach a settlement. Highly recommend their services for real... estate issues.

Amazing personal injury attorney

September and her team were amazing! From the very beginning they explained what was going to happen from start to finish. Whatever complaint I had, whether it was my neck or back, they made sure I had it checked and ensured I had the best care. They always got back to me within a timely matter, answ...ered any questions I had, and would even call just to see how I was doing. My overall experience was amazing and would definitely recommend to anyone!

They changed are lives!!

September Katje and the entire HRLG staff are responsible for my family getting a fresh start and saving our home. We thought we had a hopeless case and could only buy some time against an aggressive lender and foreclosure mill. September and Alicia and Laura DUG IN, and stayed patient and got us a ...loan modification under what we think was the most difficult circumstances. They worked with us; their communications were timely and they were always available. We are grateful beyond words for their help; we recommend this firm without reservation and with the utmost enthusiasm! They slayed the dragon for us !!

Be aware of "Bait and Switch"

My experience with September is negative. September talks confidently but practices "Bait and Switch" and double bills, for her and her appearance lawyer, who in my case appeared without my authorisation, unprepared and had no clue about the underlying law on which the hearing was based. I found... September on "Court Buddy" website where she advertises herself and NOT her "Consumer Litigation Center". The web site on which she advertises offers "unbundled legal services at flat rates based on your budget". She doesn't practice what she advertises. I hired "her" to help me with a technical issue, which she did not disclose she had no prior experience with. In time when she should have rejected the case, instead of taking care of the matter herself, she sent an unprepared appearance lawyer to Court on a very important matter for me. When Jeff appeared, he (i) did not know anything about the case and (ii) have refused to talk about the case or even read what I gave him, and was (iii) rude and disinterested. This is not what i agree to retain her to do or the service I expected. When I objected Jeff said don't talk to me talk to September. Not knowing that Jeff admitted to not knowing anything about the case or underlying legal issue that he had no experience with, September lied to me that "they both worked on the preparation", which was inconsistent with what Jef admitted. Despite that I cancelled the agreement, September refused to provide refund and she claimed she burned through $5,000 retainer in couple of day. Capriciously, and in retaliation for a dispute, she without notice required by law filed a meritless motion to prejudice me. She did not effectuate proper service of it and refused to communicate about what she did, knowing what she did was wrong. Beware.

Consumer Litigation Law Center, including multiple attorneys and office staff, dropped everything for an entire week when retained for an urgent matter. Consumer Litigation Law Center attended multiple court hearings and drafted more than 30 page filings as requested by the court in less than 24 hour turnaround time. Consumer Litigation Law Center worked really hard for this individual, as we will for all of our clients. Unfortunately this person discontinued service with meritless demands for a refund.
