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.

Thank you very much for your kind review, Alisha! I am so glad that despite the turmoil of your case, you were able to have a positive experience with my representation. I strive to provide this experience for every client I represent, and your words provide me with the confidence to keep it up. I hope that I was able to close one chapter of your life so you may move forward to start a new one.

Kind and straight forward

I never thought I would be in this situation and felt that I did not know where to start. But from the moment I called and talked to Nancy, I felt comfortable and in the right place. Once Katrina contacted me for the consultation, I knew what questions I wanted answers to, thanks to their great divor...ce guide on the website. Katrina was kind and also straight to the point. She answered all my questions, but I never felt like I was talking to a lawyer. Her empathy toward my situation was exactly what I needed. I can only recommend her because everybody that is going through a separation or divorce has already enough on their plate, and I felt her sympathy all the way. Thank you, Katrina.

Katrina is Awesome

I want to give a shout out to Katrina Otto. I contracted with Morris-Sockle for consultation and document review. My goal was to have my ex-spouse and I negotiate our settlement without representation. Katrina helped me formulate a plan, ensure all my documents were complete, and helped me get over t...he finish line. She was always prepared, helpful, friendly and professional. There was a little timing snafu towards the end between a refinance and the signing of final orders. Karina stepped in to make sure everything got back on track. I appreciate everything she did to get through this process.

Thank you for the great review, Bill! A "snafu" is unfortunately too common in family law, but I'm glad I was able to get it back on track for you. Take care.

Katrina stays on top of her game.

Katrina Otto is amazing. I sought Morris-Sockle Family Law Attorneys to help navigate my divorce/parenting plan settlement. I was involved in a contentious divorce/custody case. (All is well now thanks to Morris-Sockle). My lawyer, Katrina Otto is professional, knowledgeable, responsible, efficie...nt, sharp and friendly. She met deadlines with the court and I NEVER worried that something would be missed. This was a stressful time in my life, as one could imagine and Katrina Otto made all run smoothly within legal matters. She is punctual, which I hold of high value. She is personable, which I hold of the highest value. The first time I witnessed Katrina Otto in court (when court met in person!) I was impressed with her verbal articulation and thorough thought process for my case. Nothing slipped past her. I knew, at this moment, I had found myself an incredible lawyer. I HIGHLY recommend Katrina Otto and team to represent in family court. We worked together on my case for almost 2 years and I am ever so grateful for her! Thank you for your work, Katrina.

Do your research. DO NOT HIRE HER!

She is very unprofessional, we paid for a divorce. She fail to file documents with the correct information such as vin numbers of the vehicles things that I didn’t know I needed because I’m just a client that hire and attorney. She also didn’t summit all the child support documents and some pages we...re missing. Covid happen and she hasn’t replied to us, as now we don’t want to pay her and would like her to fix her mistakes but she won’t! The office never return our phone calls, she doesn’t take responsibility for her errors. She is a completely joke. Pretends that she cares about her clients and all she gave us was a bigger heart ache.
