Ii worked with Katie filed on my case twice. She was a great help and very down to earth, understanding woman. I highly recommend her!
Attorney Katie Vandeusen was very personable and professional. I feel that I got the best representation at a very good price. It was apparent to me that my best interest was taken into consideration and knowing that made me feel secure in an outcome that would be fair to all parties concerned. I would highly recommend Attorney Vandeusen to anyone who is looking for competed and supportive legal representation that will get you a just and equitable outcome.
I felt like all my concerns were addressed.
1.I was able to get meetings whenever I needed even if it?s last minute. 2.I liked the Payment plan
Katie was wonderful to work with and made a tough process easier for us. Communication was excellent, she was very responsive, and got this done quickly for us.
I was happy with the option was give and how to proceed
I was warned by friends and family early in my divorce journey “make sure you hire a good attorney”. With that said, I wish I had hired Katie VanDeusen at Sterling Lawyers, LLC years ago. To my own determent, and to the determent of children, my first attorney was terrible. I agreed to things that thought I “had” to agree to (despite having nearly 50/50 custody) that should have never been on paper. As my kids grew older and times changed, the financial burden of original divorce agreement became nearly crippling. My former spouse refused to negotiate outside of court and actually demanded MORE. I approached Katie with my original divorce agreement, and she evaluated it and all the substantial changes that had occurred over the years since the original agreement was filed. She built several arguments around the facts and made a case for a modification. This was not “homework free” on my end. She provided clear directions on actions that I had to take to further prove cohabitation and a modification of child support. Order modification cases can be messy and time consuming and mine was no exception. The fee structure at her firm was a relief…no nickel and diming me for calls and billable hours. For a lump sum, Katie and her team stuck it out with me and were just as responsive on last day as they were on the first. At the end of the day, a strong case was made to end maintenance and modify child support. The facts were presented at pre-trail hearings. Soon after, my former spouse settled outside of court to nearly every one of my demands. This was a huge relief. If you’re looking to get your divorce right the first time, Katie is your person. If you’re look to modify your divorce….run, don’t walk ,to her office for a consultation.
You did a wonderful job
I appreciated the frank and open conversation.
