outstanding outstanding outstanding!

First of all i want to thank Katie for the prompt , professional way she took care of a very hard emotional, estate, and family situation with the death of my step mother..she stood by me , gave me good advice, stood up for me, with the other side of family being very , well hard to deal with, but hu...ng in there for me, and quickly we got a settlement in which i was happy with.. and i could move on with my life! I am so grateful for her , i dont think she even knows how much..I feel like i had a attorney but also a friend forever, and that is priceless.. so if you want a person who will listen, but will give you her advice also..she as class, professional and one wonderful person and lady.. i highly without any hesitation recommend her for your legal needs...HIGHLY..

Avvo Rating

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.
