GIVING CHARLOTTE FAMILIES A NEW WAY TO GO THROUGH THEIR DIVORCE
KATIE BOWLES MILLER
FOUNDER OF SMART DIVORCE
After spending over 10 years litigating family law matters in Court, Katie knew there had to be a better way for families to handle their legal issues surrounding separation and divorce. Since 2017, her law practice has been dedicated 100 percent to helping families stay out of Court and retain control over their future.
Using her legal experience and expertise helping families through their divorce journey in a controlled, creative, settlement-focused environment gives Katie great personal and professional satisfaction.
Katie works with clients as a Mediator to be a neutral 3rd party expert to help resolve all their family law issues, (alimony, child support, equitable distribution, child custody). She also works with clients individually as their independent legal counsel to advise them on strategy for negotiating a resolution of their family law issues.
As a Board Certified Specialist in Family Law, you can trust your case with Katie’s expertise.
When she is not playing the role of a lawyer, Katie is a Mother (and super crafty Room Mom) to 2 young children and their goldendoodle, Yeti Spaghetti.
