Excellent service

Katie is an excellent lawyer, Her knowledge of traffic court is impressive she was able to help me reverse a ticket I paid for! Katie is a great listener she quickly responds to emails and retuning phone calls to answer questions. Very professional! I will be asking Katie for help in the future.

Very professional and thorough. Highly recommended.

Katie did a wonderful job helping us with our accident claim. She always answered questions and stayed on top of things. Every time I called I would get an answer that day, or if she had no answer for me, she would get back to me the next day or two. She was always professional and kind. All the ...other staff in that office did a wonderful job as well. Our case was closed and we are satisfied with the outcome. If you are looking for an honest and reliable lawyer, call Katie.

Car accident

I was in a car accident and didn’t know what to do or where to turn for help, that’s when I found Katie and Elliott Law Group, Pllc. Katie and her team helped us handle the insurance company, get the car fixed and made sure the medical bills were paid. I am a recent immigrant to the U.S. and wasn’t e...xpecting much of anything out of being in a car accident but Katie and her team did a great job, got everything fixed, all my bills paid, and I got a good amount of money for myself. I’m very pleased with how Katie represented me and got everything taken care of, I highly recommend Elliott Law Group.

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.
