She took all information I’ve provided and was very much ready for the hearing. I got all 3 protective orders filed against me dismissed by the judge due to her very thorough cross examination of the complainants and very convincing closing arguments. I highly recommend her to anyone. Thanks Katy."

"My attorney that represented me is professional, empathic and passionate about her clients. I am a living testimony to this experience. She made me feel confident, educated me on everything going on so that I understood and was comfortable with the options on how to defend me in regards to my best interest. Attorney Kathryn Batey had my trust… and that’s not easy to give all the time when your freedom is at stake and you’re innocent. She won my case and fought a tough fight… she believed in me, she never gave up, and I never felt like her legal advice was wrong. She really fought for my case with everything she had. There needs to be more attorneys that take pride in their profession and that treat clients with decency and respect. Always available… and always consistent… I would recommend ANYONE who is seeking legal representation, to let Kathryn Batey, a well respected attorney in my eyes be the attorney for you!"

"Kathryn Batey was the singular difference between the right outcome and the wrong outcome. I was wrongly accused of a crime, but no one cared, and the justice system treated me like I was guilty throughout the entire process. It mattered to Kathryn that I was innocent, and she promised to fight for me all the way to the end. At every turn she was reassuring, gave me sound advice, knew how to navigate an unjust situation, and knew how to make the right decisions that would allow me to be found innocent. She listened, and facilitated the opportunity for my innocence to be heard. When the justice system is broken and the innocent can be accused of criminal activity it takes someone like Kathryn to undo the wrong in a system that is broken. She was that for me, she was Lady Justice, when the justice system failed. I cannot give a high enough recommendation nor can I fully capture in words how much I feel she single-handedly put my life back on track. If you are being wrongly charged with a crime you did not commit, there is no one who will fight harder for you than Kathryn."
