Unlike many aspiring attorneys, Katie worked her way through law school while raising her first child.

Her veracity comes from a strong upbringing, something that she has worked to instill in her two sons. An active member of Erin Church of the Nazarene, Katie’s involvement within the community led her to an volunteer position with the Legal Aid Society of Middle Tennessee and the Cumberlands, upon being admitted to the Bar. She has continued her service to the Legal Aid Society and Clarksville Bar Association through as a member of the Legal Aid Society Board of Directors.

When I needed help getting my Social security disability. I went to Katie Klinghard. Katie handled everything. I just sit back and she kept me informed at all times. I was able to reach her at anytime. Katie is a very professional and knowledgeable attorney. I felt very fortunate when she agreed to be my attorney. If I every need another attorney in the future. Katie will be the first one I call.

We hired Katie for a custody case. She is very knowledgeable of the law and thinks out side the box if needed. She is very accessible and pleasant to deal with during a stressful time. Although her demeanor one on one is very passive, she becomes a bulldog once entering the courtroom. She is confident, listens to her client and is well respected. We will continue to hire Katie when needed.

After a long battle with my long-term disability insurance, I had given up. When Mrs. Klinghard took my case, she turned it around in less than six months. Not only did I get approved, she helped me get $50k in back pay! My previous attorney worked on my case for 2 years with NO RESULTS. Mrs. Klinghard changed my life.

Excellent service! Mrs. Klinghard was extremely professional and courteous. Always returned phone calls and emails in a timely manner. I felt like I was the most important client she had at the time - when it was truly a small matter that she helped me with. I would recommend her to anyone that needs legal service. Her knowledge is vast and her experience speaks for itself when you are talking with her.
