Mr Cates has provided me with some excellent advice and I have a lot of confidence in his opinion. I would definitely recommend him to handle your legal issues.

Avoid Stephanie Gookins at all costs. She lacks any semblance of integrity. She was upfront about not wanting to take a difficult case. But took it anyway, ran thousands in fees then walked away weeks before the case was finalized.
David Sieter and Rus Cate on the other hand are true professionals that look out for thier clients and put thier clients issues and concerns first. Highly recommend either of these gentleman, but if Stephanie is recommended to you, I highly recommend you look elsewhere.

Russ is great to work with - very friendly, knowledgable and trustworthy.

I used this firm for several issues. They did a great job in every case. Most importantly though their billing is accurate and fair.

Dan is great

Russ is a beast at what he does. His work is amazing I will be suggesting him to my peers!

I had a great experience working with this firm. I highly recommend them.

Awesome people!

Extremely helpful in getting our small business setup! Was available for our many questions, walked us through each step and was helpful in referring us to other services we needed in getting started. I highly recommend them!

Wonderful firm with unparalleled attention to detail. I've always gotten great results from them.

If you are looking for a lawyer to treat you like family.

I highly recommend Cate, Terry & Gookins, LLC. Russ Cate is extremely professional and knowledgeable. He kept in contact with me and let me know what to expect throughout my case. I could not have had a better outcome with any other representation.

Well informed, smart, helpful and kind. Russ is a good Attorney and a great person!

Great firm. I’ve known Russ Cate for many years and he is a great attorney and even better person!

The people at this firm care.

My wife and I found our experience with the firm to be a positive one. We would not hesitate to do business with them in the future based on their responsiveness and expertise.

We used Cate Terry & Gookins for our wills. Their expertise was valuable; the process was quick and easy. The entire staff was friendly and responsive. We will definitely use them for our future legal needs.

Russell Cate is always helpful with questions regarding the law. He has a wide ranging practice and I highly recommend his caring and thoughtful approach to anyone who who needs legal advice.

Awesome people with great values who take pride in the work they do!

Great firm with a wonderful staff!

Great firm and people

Russ Cate has been my attorney for over 2.5 years and I can tell you Mr. Cate goes above and beyond for his clients. Many times he answered questions after hours and always has taken any legal matter that was needed from a personal to professional matter with the utmost highest regard. He made me feel like I was the most important client when I needed to feel like I was the most important client. Of NOTE - I was referred to Mr. Cate from a retired Hamilton County judge who is a great friend of mine. This should tell you where he stands in the eyes of his colleagues as well.

I have known Russell Cate for more than ten years. He did a wonderful job assisting me with a product liability case that stretched over a span of 5 years. He is a consummate professional and accomplished attorney. Highly recommend his service if ever in need.

I couldn't be more disappointed with this law firm. They came to me with the highest of recommendations from another lawyer who used their services in a personal case. My experience was full of nothing but very costly, time-consuming and frustrating disappointments. On first consultation, I was advised that my case would be short and sweet, and that owing to my precarious financial situation, CTG would accept payment for their services in a flexible manner. As the case unfolded over several (say, way too many) months, it became apparent from multiple phone calls that the CTG principles and associates were clueless about the details of my case. On at least two occasions, I was billed between $150 and $300 an hour to correct fundamental details I had already provided, or to help them find such information I had already provided the court and opposing council. CTG sent me bills expecting immediate payment for, among other reasons, petitioning the court on affairs related to my case that I neither sanctioned nor that were ultimately successful in bringing my case to a close.

Stephenie Gookins and her staff just did a fabulous job of representing me through my divorce. Stephenie was professional and compassionate at the same time and guided my journey through a nightmare experience with grace. I couldn’t be more pleased with her service. In addition, David Seiter has been tremendous in his assistance as well. And hat is off to Cindy for all of her hard work behind the scenes.

Russel did a fantastic job for us during a challenging situation. We always felt as though we were in extremely capable hands throughout the entire process. We appreciated the great communication, empathy and expertise all along the way.

Mr. Cate was truly amazing. He took his time, did his homework and secured our victory. He will not waste your time or his and will get to straight to the facts in your case. You can tell his methods and approach are not mere fluff, but actual thought out strategies that have substance. I would highly recommend him to anyone. I promise you will not be disappointed.

I highly recommend this law firm. They are very knowledgeable, respectful, and helpful in everything they do.

John Terry helped my wife and I draft a will after our son was born. He seemed very knowledgeable and friendly. The office staff were friendly as well. Highly recommend!

Great team to work with!

I would highly recommend Mr Russel Cate. You will not be disappointed.

She does not do anything for misdemeanor cases. She’ll take your money and do what you could have done pro se. The worst.

Russ is one of the most honest and trustworthy people I have ever meet.

David M. Seiter. Great attorney.

Russ Cate is one of the best attorneys in town.

Stephanie Gookins is an awesome attorney. I have hired her for a couple cases and she takes cases personal and looks out for her clients! Love her

I hired Stephenie Gookins as my divorce attorney two years ago, and have continued to leverage her post-divorce to help ensure my children are in the best co-parenting situation that they can be. Stephenie showed her knowledge of Indiana laws, precedence, and opposing counsel to fully prepare me for what to expect. Her advice was focused on:
1. Protecting me and my kids
2. Keeping my legal fees as low as possible by understanding up front the "end game" expectation
Stephenie also did a great job of leveraging her very solid Paralegal, Cynthia Latty, to keep legal fees in check wherever possible. I would recommend this attorney and firm to anyone, and will certainly use them going forward, as needed.

Great group of people to work with - very knowledgable and trustworthy.

I have worked closely with both John Terry and Russell Cate on business issues and my personal estate and I can say with confidence that they are both VERY astute and personable. Most importantly, they take the time to make sure you understand the advice / information they give you so that you can, in turn, make the best decision. Highly recommended.

Russ Cate did an excellent job in representing a family member. He was quick to respond, answered questions thoroughly (even those beyond the scope of this case), and was compassionate and understanding. On a day when he could not be in court, he sent his colleague Stephenie Gookins, and she was great, too. Both seem to know their way around the Hamilton County judicial system, which was helpful. I recommend them.
