Cited for DUI in Hennepin County

About a month ago, I was cited for 4th Degree DUI in Hennepin County, Cathy was recommended to me by a friend and I called her that very next morning. She was extremely helpful with giving me a list of tasks that I needed to complete prior to court and was able answer all of my questions about the pr...ocess, all month long. Cathy was very accessible throughout the process and gave me sound advice all the way to the day of court. Ultimately, because of the prep work that was done on the front end, my charge was plead down to Careless Driving. I would highly recommend Cathy to anyone who was in the same spot that I was in, she was thorough, professional, and dependable throughout this bad situation.

Cathy handled my case in a manner that worked out exceptionally well!

I am an Illinois resident who was arrested in Indiana for a DUI, as well as two other charges. Even though I refused the breathalyzer, she was able to get the refusal expunged and plea the charges down to reckless driving. As a result of her work, there will be no impact to my Illinois drivers lice...nse. Even though I made a huge mistake that put me in this situation, I am very thankful for her hard work that limited the impacts from what could have been a very serious conviction. I would recommend her to anyone else who needed an attorney for a similar situation.

Absolutely the best DUI attorney I have come across!!!!!

I have to say, I have never had to deal with the situation in which my son and I have just been thru with his DUI's. I went on line and found Catherine Lake and immediately called. She had us come in right then and explained everything in detail of what we were about to encounter. We were scared but ...the damage was done and we had to deal with the consequences of his actions. Catherine amazed us with the outcome of having 2 DUI's within 2 months apart of each other. One was dropped completely and the other was reduced immensely. I was truly blessed and extremely lucky to have found her. Her compassion and dedication to helping my son ( to where his future was not altered in a negative way ) was way beyond what I could have ever imagined! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND contacting Catherine Lake with any issues like what my son just went thru. He's 24 and because of Catherine, he still has a bright future ahead of him! Thank you again Catherine for such an amazing job you did!!!!!

Dedicated

Attorney Lake did a fantastic job on my case, she put in alot of time and work into the case. Attorney Lake was prompt and accurate with the details pertaining to my case. She made sure there was an open line of communication and I received a quick response to any questions and messages. I would rec...ommend her in a heartbeat. Thank you Attorney Lake

Helpful and responsive

I first hired another attorney - who then ignored all forms of contact once I paid his fee. My experience with Cathy Lake was exactly the opposite. She met with me on short notice, thoroughly explained all of my options to me and promised to begin on my case after our initial consultation. The nex...t day she had already initiated contact with the prosecutor and kept me appraised of the status of my case at every step. In the end, she helped to achieve a positive outcome. I would recommend her to a friend in a similar situation.
