Knowledgeable and Direct Guidance

I consulted Katie Jean Comstock on a neighbor dispute involving a sewer line running through my property without a formal easement. She gave clear, no-nonsense guidance and didn’t sugarcoat the situation, which I really appreciated. While my options were limited, it was incredibly helpful to receive ...an honest and professional opinion.

Ethical, competent, and professional

We were concerned about the legality of portions of the new governing document drafts proposed by our HOA Board and contacted Katie for legal advice with homeowner property rights protections in mind. Her solid research and knowledge on the subject helped us reach an informed decision that protected ...our personal interests in the best possible way. We enthusiastically recommend Katie and would seek out her solid legal advice again without hesitation.

Very professional - Great experience

Being new to the homeowner world, I found myself in a terrible predicament. Katie was very professional and told me upfront from the beginning that I had a hard case. I appreciated how she was upfront with me instead of giving me and her communication was great throughout the process. If your having ...a Real estate problem and you have been missed treated give her a call.

Renovation Nightmare

We were in a nightmare situation with a contractor who walked off the job. Not only did he not finish the project, but he damaged the house in the process. We hired Katie on a contingency basis and within months she settled the case with the contractors insurance company. Needless to say, we were ...very pleased with the results.

Fast File Success!

I cannot say enough great things about this firm. I worked with Dave and Katie, but it seems the whole firm pitched in to get this thing done pronto. We received our settlement in less than a month, check in hand, and made a quick file at my request due to statue of limitations concerns on a real pro...perty title issue. I am an attorney, but not this kind, and I feel fortunate to have just stumbled on this firm. I now refer my clients to this firm for their real property issues (already referred one person). I would highly recommend them for your property matter.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
