T&W

I would highly recommend Katie and her firm, Tolison & Williams, Attorneys at Law. I went through a divorce this past year. When I first met Katie at her office she was very understanding, professional and made me feel at ease with the process we were about to embark upon. This was a difficult time in my life and with Katie's support and guidance she helped me through it and negotiated a fair and equitable settlement. Katie not only treated me with professionalism she treated me with respect and made me feel like a friend. I appreciate the hard work and dedicated efforts of Katie and her entire staff and would recommend her firm to anyone that needs legal counsel.
