2) I cannot tell you enough how my experience has changed my thoughts on lawyers. While I had never directly dealt with a lawyer in the past,
Great care and concern for me as a client and as a person. Fair billing policy and great results. Katie took care of my case and would recommend highly!! Thank you Sterling Law Offices!
I dealt with Katie Vandeusen whilst going through a painful divorce. Katie guided me from start to finish, presenting me with options to get through the process as painlessly as is possible. She was highly professional and knowledgeable. She is also extremely prompt. I would highly recommend her!
I think Katie did the best she could on the case, and she maintained her knowledge of what was going on despite having to go on maternity leave. The case was ongoing for a while and there was a change in situation that potentially could have given us more leverage in the current stage. I do not think this was part of Katie's doing, but moreso the firm's policies. I did not think it was right to introduce additional fixed fees in the middle of the court case, but Katie did do a good job of avoiding the continuation of stage 3 full hearing. Katie did give me an early notification before the case started that we could possibly split case 3, but there was no mention that additional fixed fees could be incurred in stage 2. I would have thought the fixed fees would stay the same, even if new events unfolded in stage 2, especially if it was to our advantage of leveraging the case. Overall, I would still continue trusting and hiring Katie as my attorney, but I do question the fixed fee structure as additional charges were incurred.
