“Katie is an amazing lawyer. She listens. I was falsely accused and couldn't get anyone to believe me. She looked carefully at the evidence and evaluated my statement. She invested time in me. I was so relieved the day she told me she believed in me. Katie knows how to patiently use the law for you. In the end, she convinced the prosecutor that a mistake had been made and he dropped the charges "in the interest of justice". Katie is a great lawyer, and even if you have made a mistake, Katie will help to use whatever laws are available to you.”
