Katie Cameron O’Mailia is an attorney who has experienced many of the same legal issues her clients are dealing with.  Having an attorney that listens to your legal issues, and then having an attorney that understands your legal issues are vastly different.  Ms. O’Mailia has been there, walked the walk, and can talk the talk.

As the principal attorney at O’Mailia Law, PLLC, in Montgomery, Alabama, her focus areas include divorce, custody, child support, adoption, domestic abuse, wills and estate.  Prior to obtaining her law degree, Katie worked in the legal industry for nine years.  While in law school, Katie clerked for Legal Services Alabama at the One Place Family Justice Center and the Federal Defenders Office for the Middle District.

Katie has written and lectured on domestic violence through speaking, writing and actively participating in state politics, educating and promoting rights for victims of domestic violence and their children. She is licensed to practice law in the State of Alabama and is a member of the Montgomery County Task Force on Domestic Violence, Alabama State Bar Association, Montgomery County Bar Association and is a board member at the Family Sunshine Center and One Place Family Justice Center.  Katie serves as a contract attorney with Legal Services Alabama, assisting low income individuals in the areas of family violence, divorce, and child custody.
