KATIES AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!

I retained Katie in 2010 when I first split up with my wife. Katie took the huge rock off my shoulders and helped with every step of the way. With the difficulties of a divorce she explained to me what my rights were under the law. She also explained to me about different motions she could file that ...would benefit me. However she explained to me the long term risks I would take if we filed those motions. Meaning that filing those motions would just fuel the emotions in a divorce and would drag it out for a long period of time. My divorce was handled in the normal amount of time because of katies work and the relationship we had. Katie also recently put together an LLC on a business I started. It was great working with her and she was very knowledgeable helping me through every step of the way. I also like that that I can take every simple legal question I have and ask Katie. She explains things in a simple way where I can understand. Having Katie there for me is great and I highly recommend her.

Divorce

I came to Katie for help with my divorce and custody case. She was the calm in my storm and patiently explained what was acceptable under the law. And she had to explain it over and over. My fathers daughter was abusive and reported no income (he worked under the table). She made legal recommenda...tions and gave me references that I would never have had access to without her. I was able to get as much child support as we could and added what we could to the document to protect my daughter in the future. She was a great moral support as well and I consider her a friend. I would refer to anyone that had a need.

As a defense attorney this allows her to see both sides of every case, making her a very effective advocate on behalf of her clients. She is a truly compassionate person who successfully achives great results for her clients."
