This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Compassionate, Professional, and Brilliant!

Katrina provided exceptional legal support throughout an extremely difficult and stressful process to develop a parenting plan in a challenging situation. Her attention to detail and professionalism ensured the best possible outcome for my child's well-being, and I feel incredibly lucky to have had s...uch competent and compassionate legal representation. I also appreciated Katrina's dedication to keeping costs as reasonable as possible - given the contentious nature of the case, the process took a long time, but she made every effort to avoid unnecessary costs. I would highly recommend Katrina!

Consultation

I had a consult with Katrina and in 1 hour she helped boost my confidence and gave me more helpful insight than I received from the first two meetings I had with another firm. She was honest and to the point and understanding. If it was necessary to retain in the future I would absolutely feel good a...bout using her for representation

Thank you for your feedback, Kassi! Navigating the court system on your own is no easy task, but I am glad that I was able to provide you with information in a short period of time that would help you succeed in your case. I wish you the best!

Smart, Compassionate, Skilled, Highly Recommend!

Katrina represented me through a very long and contentious divorce. There were times I did not know what to do and she was skillful and kind in her guidance. She did not back down and was strong and masterful in her approach. Katrina knows the law and is accomplished in these challenging cases. S...he is honest and demonstrates the highest level of integrity. Katrina is also aware that this is an expensive process and keeps her communications on task to avoid unnecessary charges. I recommend Katrina without hesitation. If you are in need of Family Law representation make sure you consult with Katrina as she will do an amazing job for you.

Katrina saved me from the trenches!

Katrina was absolutely amazing. From start to finish of my case she made sure to communicate effectively, respond timely, and helped me understand the process. Before hiring Katrina my case was a mess created by a less than desirable previous attorney. I was afraid there was no hope for my case. ... She showed up daily with knowledge, hard work ethic, and determination and was able to give me hope again. She is truly a genuine person and a professional power house! I could not be more grateful for her and her time!!

Halie, thank you for your feedback! I am so glad that I could help turn your case around, and on top of that, provide you with support along the way. What you went through was not easy and I am honored that you trusted me to help you through it. It was a pleasure working with you and I wish you and your family nothing but the best!

Sneaky

I wrote about 7 emails asking for receipts for work done. Her name was being billed for my case. She never responded about me asking for hours that Morris & Sockle charged for her. Morris & Sockle gave me the billing statements after they were sure I could not file them in court on time. So many othe...r lawyers to hire.

*it appears that after receiving additional information from the reviewer, this individual was/is not a client of mine. I did not bill time for this client and my response below remains accurate* Hello. Thank you for your feedback. Although I could not respond to your complaint even if your name was provided due to ethical limitations, I would like to discuss your concerns since I have not received seven, or otherwise multiple emails from a client, requesting clarification on hours billed. It is our policy to provide a billing statement at the end of every month, as well as a draft statement at any time upon a client's request. Although I do not know the specifics of what occurred, I can assure you that our office does not intentionally withhold receipts or other information to purposefully prejudice a client's case upon our withdrawal. Should you have any questions, or wish to discuss your concern further, please feel free to contact our office at 360-866-7100.
