Reviews for Kate
Have you consulted or hired this lawyer?
Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.After being con by attorney Michael Krauts. (He took $10k from his retainer for writing 2-3 paragraphs to the government and trying to talk me out of canceling his service) I found Mrs Corrigan. She smart, works with honesty and integrity. You never felt like she inflated her work time in order to bill more for her service. I was a nervous wreck but she ease me down and after listening to her advice and doing what was asked I was able to work my way down from the federal guideline. I was facing a max of 5 years in prison then received a guideline range of 10-16 months. At the end of the day I received 5 months home detention, a reduce fine of $55k to $10k and paid restitution even with a stricter judge. I couldn’t ask for much more. She charge hourly rates for her service but at the end of the day she cost about 1/2 or even 1/3 of some attorney’s flat fee model. If you hire her and work hard she’ll help you deliver great results. Thank you Mrs Corrigan.
