Attorney Kate Van Hooser is incredibly knowledgeable in many aspects of Family Law. Her real life approach assisted me in making the right decision for myself moving forward with my case. She made herself available anytime I needed to speak with her. Ease of making appointments through her legal assistant was also a huge bonus. The retainer cost is clear-cut and the office manager provides me with detailed invoices of the breakdown of my charges incurred. She was great at keeping me “in-line” during one of the worst times of my life. Kate always helped me look at the bigger picture and I never once doubted her ability to carry me through this. She spent tireless hours on my case with a VERY positive outcome. I highly recommend this firm for any type of Family Law issue.

Kate and her entire team were professional, excellent and timely communicators, and knowledgeable about my legal issues. Kate handled my relocation case with great ethics and professionalism no matter how many curve balls were thrown at us. I can’t recommend this firm enough, they made a truly difficult time much easier for me and my family. Thank you so much!

She has been helping me with a very difficult case that has taken quite some time to come to a resolution. Her positive attitude and love for her work has consistently made me feel confident during stressful times. She has been a wonderful advocate for me and I would strongly recommend her to others in need of legal assistance.
