Katie goes above and beyond for her clients. I've been by her office several times and shes usually the last one to leave. She definitely devotes a lot of her time to help her clients. I went through 2 other attorneys before I hired Katie as my attorney and I'm glad I have her as my attorney now. She truly cares about her clients and tries to get them the best outcome she can.
Katie is an extremely thorough attorney. She is very personable, she makes you feel comfortable and is easy to talk to. She is extremely educated in her field and makes you feel like she has your best interest at heart. She worked with me on two family court cases and I was very happy with the results. She uses her knowledge of her field to make sure her client is well represented and she gets the results needed to make the client feel comfortable in the judgement. I would highly recommend her to anyone and I would use her again.
Mary Katherine (Katie) Shoenfelt is simply phenomenal. When she originally took my case it was suppose to be about spousal support. This was suppose to be a simple case, but it was everything but simple. Though we were dealing with many challenges, Katie stood firm. She did not falter. She explained everything in great details, and never promised anything but her best. Katie was very calm and confident through every twist and turn. She worked very diligently through the process. Her professionalism, knowledge of the law, and thorough research skills paved a way for a victory, without having to go to court. She is an outstanding family law attorney who is very result oriented, and I highly recommend Katie if you need a "super" family law attorney. Thank you so much Katie!
Katie came to court for me on a matter that she wasn’t even required to be there for. I had another attorney present that day, but Katie knew that her presence was needed. That effectively gave me 2 attorneys fighting tooth and nail to beat a bunch of false allegations. I am very happy with the outcome, and I get to see my baby daughter again on regular visitations! She’s a rockstar. If she isn’t the best family attorney in the state I don’t know who is. Her office is directly across the street from the courthouse. Something that has proven very beneficial in my case. Hardworking, amazing attorney. If you want the best, you want Katie Shoenfelt.
I had strange circumstances surrounding my existing case prior to Mrs. Shoenfelt’s taking it over. She completed what I needed in a timely fashion with no complaints on my end.
I'm going through a very ugly divorce; a divorce in which my wife is trying to take everything and leave me homeless has attempted to have me put in jail. Ms. Mary was able to get me back in my house and back to seeing my little girl again. She provided an affidavit to the doctors and proved the horrific allegations were false. Ms. Mary is very knowledgeable and experienced. She knows other great criminal and family lawyers that could and would help if need be. Even though this divorce has been difficult and stressful, Ms. Mary is there every step of the way fighting tooth and nail for me, my daughter, and justice. Thank you Ms. Katy for all that you have done and continue to do. You and all the hard work you have done is greatly appreciated.
Katie shoenfelt was a beacon of hope at a time when things were limited and resolution seemed 50/50 not only did she defend me from multiple unjust accusations but she was determined and empathetic. when I felt lost she was able to pick up the pieces and gather all the information to make me win in court. I am eternally grateful for her service and hard work! If you want to win in court I highly recommend Katie shoenfelt
Katie is an awesome attorney. I hired her to help with my custody case and she exceeded my expectations. She made sure I knew what to expect during court, and she gave me legal advice moving forward. Katie was always available and accessible when I needed her. Not only is she knowledgeable of the law, she also makes your needs and requirements a priority.
I contacted Katie, scheduled a consultation , explained my situation and she wrote down every detail. She gave me realistic expectations and quoted me on the cost. She warned me that this could be very costly but she worked with my situation. I was feeling so hopeless and lost before I spoke with her. Throughout the whole process she kept me up to date via emails or phone calls. She even stayed by my side with my case that she was not representing. I felt so comfortable in that very unpleasant situation. Tell her what you want and she will try her best to get it. Unlike a lawyer I had previously she always returns calls and she seems to be always willing to talk and remain positive. Also, her office staff is extremely friendly.
Hiring Ms. Shoenfelt to help with my divorce and custody was the best decision I could have made. She knows her stuff and does not get intimidated by attorneys who have been in the field longer than her. She knows what to expect in the courtroom and her confidence was incredibly calming for me during such an anxious time. She is a go-getter and doesn't stop until the job is done. I truly felt as if she was invested in a positive outcome and would highly recommend her! Thank you!!!
