Kathryn did an excellent job handling my case. She was very responsive, whether it be on the phone, or by email. She walked me through each step of the process explaining not only what was happening, but why it was happening, and answered questions along the way. In addition, I needed her assistance with handling an issue with my visa after I applied to study abroad. Kathryn gladly helped word my responses and ensure I had all the correct documentation to expedite the visa review process.

I was acquitted of all charges thanks to David Thomas and Kathryn Wallrabenstein. Before going to trial, they kept me updated on what was happening in my case and they reviewed the evidence with me. After a few long conversations with them about my case, I decided to go to trial. The trial lasted two weeks and was in federal court. They made the government’s witnesses look bad by asking them tough questions. They both fought for me and they were able to win me my freedom. They are both great lawyers and I can’t thank them enough!

Kathryn Sarah served an instrumental role in getting my case dismissed. Her ability to build relationships with her clients and understanding their needs serves her well in the courtroom. She takes great pride in work, she makes decisions based on what is truly best for the client. I cant thank her enough for the work she's done for my life.

I called Kathryn and she looked up my cases and figured out that she couldn't help me with my particular problem but was nice enough to recommend another lawyer for me. She took the time to figure out if she could help me or not free of charge, I really appreciate her willingness to help.

I am an attorney outside the State of Ohio. When I found out my client was facing an extremely serious criminal accusation in Ohio, I contacted Attorney Wallrabenstein. She joined our defense team, and acted immediately to protect our client. Her persistence and proactive approach ended up convincing the Ohio prosecutors to decline to file any charges! The accusation was so serious that just the filing of charges would have ruined the client's career and future. If you think you might possibly be facing a criminal accusation, do not wait to see what happens. Hire Attorney Wallrabenstein as soon as possible.

My son was in a multi collision car accident with only his temporary license and he was a minor at the time. I was told we would need a criminal lawyer and we were lost. We called a family friend who recommended Katie and we were not disappointed. She was very professional, kind, to the point and respectful. She was able to help my son out of a very bad spot in his life. He was able to get his drivers license and he wont have to pay the rest of his life for one huge mistake. Thank you Kate for everything!

I was charged with a crime that i knew nothing about until 22 years later.To my surprised at a traffic stop,The officer asked if i ever lived in columbus city.She was even confused. There was arrest warrant in my name.Any way the whole world for me turned upside down.No amount of money or influence could save me from the trouble and imbaressment i was going to face.We called some very heavily advertised lawyer over the internet.I tell you that lawyer did nothing but lied about every step of the way, Then i met Dave thomas and Kathryn.I was kinda iffy and was willing to take plea bargain as the Brian the other attorney was suggesting.I tell you HIRING Dave and Kathryn was the best decision i ever made in my life.They are worth every penny I spent.Not sure if they are expansive but its money well spent. Brian joslyn might be good at talking and telling you what you like to hear but Dave and kathryn walked me through the whole process.They assured me the exerties they possess.Very professional and know their stuff. I just wanted this to be over even though i knew I wasn't guilty.They got me to calm myself down and went to work.They walked me through the whole step of the way. They done the necessary research and collected all the documents and proof to prove my innocence.They told me I had very good chance of the case to being dismissed.They knew the prosecutor office personal and cooperated with them.All n all they were able to have the case dismissed to my surprise.I feel very lucky in this matter.I would never imagine to get any break when it comes to fighting state. Its our right to fight, most of the time we relinquish this very right because of bad advice from some bad apples.Do every thing you can to research and make sure you have the right team on your side.I'm very pleased with the performance of Dave and Kathryn.If you like to ask any question please do not hesitate to e mail me. I met at least six other attorneys in the area.Even though they were all very convincing and as good but some how I was convinced I should go with with Dave and Kathryn, They showed more professionalism over the others.Again i'm glad I hired them.If you need help please let me know.

Katie is a caring attorney. I was facing a long prison sentence and she thoroughly explained the PSR and implications of my crime. I cannot thank her enough and am forever indebted to her.
