There are not enough words to express how grateful I am for Katie. From our very first meeting, I felt an immediate sense of relief. She made me feel safe, protected, and understood during one of the most stressful and emotional times of my life.She wasn’t just my attorney—she felt like family. She truly cared about me and my case, and that showed in everything she did. She was always available to answer questions, calm my fears, and guide me through a process that often felt overwhelming.What impressed me most was her passion and determination. She was a true spitfire in the whole process-strong, confident, and completely unafraid to stand up for me. She never backed down, never wavered, and fought tirelessly for me from beginning to end. Even in a very delicate and emotional case, she remained focused, strategic, and relentless in pursuing the truth.Because of her hard work and dedication, the case was dismissed for lack of evidence and no basis for the charge. I always knew she was fighting for me, and having her by my side gave me the confidence to get through an incredibly difficult experience.If you’re looking for an attorney who is compassionate, trustworthy, fierce,and genuinely invested in her clients, I wholeheartedly recommend Katie. She is exceptional at what she does, and I will forever be thankful for everything she did for me.

I ran into an unfortunate situation which required legal help. Where to start, considering I’m a relative newcomer to Saratoga? The internet. That is where I found stellar reviews of Katie, which led me to a phone call and the conclusion I needn’t look further. Katie took control and guided me through the process, was very knowledgeable of applicable NYS law and was patient as I was a client caught up in unfamiliar territory. I highly recommend her if you are looking for an honest attorney who looks out for your best interests.

Outstanding service helping my college son with a traffic charge. From my very first call and talking with her, all the way through with court case and prosecutor discussions, she helped us with clear direction, timely communication, efficiency, and landed us the best possible results. Her service was extremely helpful, especially for me being out of state. I highly recommend Katherine DeMartino!

Excellent attorney. Katherine DeMartino is one of the best. She goes above and beyond for her clients to fight for justice. She was amazing for me and defended me against false criminal charges. The charge was Harassment 2nd Degree. My neighbor lied and signed a false affidavit that I was revving my engine. Photo is of my hybrid which neighbor stated to cop on his bodycam that I drive and is "quiet"... it was other people revving their engines. Nontheless I got the criminal charges and it went to trial. DeMartino subpoened the cop to make him testify and admit this all on the stand, as well as his offer for dinner from corrupt town officials. Got my NOT GUILTY verdict and couldn't be any happier that Katherine DeMartino fought this for me. A+++

Very professional and knowledgeable. Made me feel comfortable immediately after I first started talking to her knowing I was in the right hands.

I highly recommend Katherine for her exceptional legal knowledge and service. Hiring her to help with a recent bundle of traffic infractions that would have left me without a license, resulted in better outcomes than imagined. From the first conversation, Katie was reassuring and knowledgeable and had without a doubt the best communication I have ever had with a leagl team offering a clear understanding of the process. She handled everything with professionalism and efficiency, and her expertise led to a fantastic outcome for the case. If you need a lawyer who is both professional and genuinely cares about clients, look no further kathrine is the lawyer for you.

Katherine is the most professional, hard-working, caring attorney in the area. I have used her multiple times and have nothing but good things to say. She has always made me feel as though she had my back and listened to my concerns, she kept me informed throughout the court process and never failed to explain everything clear and concise. I never felt as though she was “in it for the money” as many other attorneys make you feel. I can not recommend her enough.

We highly recommend Katherine DeMartino, Esq. as an attorney and advocate. Our family reached out to Katherine because of a ticket to appear. Due to the amount of anxiety that this was causing our family we hired Katherine. Katherine was professional, diligent and caring. Due to her professionalism, and the positive out come she achieved, our family hired Katherine again for a separate issue. Katherine exceeded our expectations and helped our family immensely.
Travis Bain

I had 2 speeding tickets that I had Katherine take care of, and she really went to bat for me. One got dismissed, but then I got a suspension on my license for a failure to answer summons. I called the court and they tried to tell me that the judge that dismissed it, was related to the officer that wrote the ticked, and wanted me to pay a suspension lift fee. But they never contacted Katherine, or me to inform us that, they just suspended my license. I called Katherine, within a few days my license was reinstated and I never had to pay the suspension lift fee. I highly recommend her if you need a lawyer, especially for traffic tickets. She kept me informed on both tickets, and she didn’t let the court screw me over for something that was their error. Thank you Katherine, I really appreciate everything you’ve done for me!!

Katie was a phenomenal attorney to have by my side through my experience with the court. She went to bat for me to a system I knew nothing about and knew the best course of action to take at each turn. She reduced the charges that were against me and got me through it in the best way I could've hoped, explaining each step along the way. I could breathe easier knowing she had my back and I would recommend trusting her to anyone.

I do not know where to start, but attorney Katherine DeMartino is a savior. I was involved in an unfortunate situation where I would never in my life think a person like me would end up in. I found her information on Google, called her and she listened to me with the utmost attention to detail. Her patience, understanding, perseverance, intelligence and skills worked and got the outcome anyone would want faced with any accusation. Even other top tier lawyers would recommend her to you. Do not hesitate to give her a call. If anything was to ever happen to a friend, stranger, or family member, I would tell them to call Katie and beg her to accept the case. You won't find any lawyer better than this woman.
