"We were in desperate need of an attorney when we called Kate's office. We received a quick response and Kate was immediately willing to help us and even got us in front of the judge for an emergency hearing 48 hours after our initial call. She quickly consumed tons of information about our messy CINC case and showed up to court amazingly knowledgeable on it and ready to fight for us. We are well aware that many CINC cases end in heartbreak (and several attorneys we called wouldn't even take our case because of it) But after 6 months of working with Kate, we got what we hoped and prayed for. Although, even if we hadn't, we would still recommend Kate because she would have done/did everything possible to fight for us. Thank you, Kate! We will always remember the role you played in our lives!"

"Pray you never need an attorney but if you do, fight like hell to retain Kate. She is a bulldog and she believes in standing up for the little guy. Kate is absolutely brilliant and I have her on speed dial in case there is ever a second time I need her. Every attorney I have ran into in the state of Kansas and spoken to in regards to Kate has known her well and have had the highest of praise for her. Thank you for everything you did for me, Kate."
