Katie has built strong client relationships, guiding them through divorces, adoptions, guardianships, business formations, estate planning, probates, name changes, small claims, civil litigation, criminal defense, and the evolving Native American law landscape. As a Cherokee Nation citizen, her legal practice is deeply informed by her cultural background, advocating for restorative justice and traditional peacemaking.

Her commitment to mediation led her to complete courses in compliance with the Oklahoma District Court Mediation Act, covering Family, Divorce, Civil, Commercial, and Employment Mediation. She finds fulfillment in helping clients create innovative solutions to legal challenges.
