About Katie Sandstrum
Katie is a North Carolina resident with roots across the country, having lived in California, Colorado, Alabama, and South Carolina. She earned her undergraduate degree in Psychology with a minor in Criminal Justice from The University of Alabama. Following graduation, she moved to Charleston, South Carolina, where she earned her Juris Doctor from Charleston School of Law.
During law school, Katie was actively involved in student organizations, including the Maritime Law Society, Business Law Society, and Women in the Law Society. She also gained valuable hands-on experience working with a local housing court, where she assisted community members in preparing for court hearings and navigating legal procedures.
Katie began her legal career in transactional law and business litigation before joining a boutique estate planning and probate firm.

What Real Clients Have To Say
Melissa S.
Lou and his team did an outstanding job on my case. They kept me updated constantly. There were times when I was so overwhelmed-the encouragement I received from the firm is the BEST I’ve received from any law firm in the past. I HIGHLY recommend Lou and his team.
Tim J.
Great attorney helped the most at a important time.
Aimee B.
Lou and his team worked quickly to ensure that my husband received the care and physical therapy he needed after a pretty serious work injury. They handled every phone call and question with the insurance adjuster, we didn’t have to fight with anyone to get anything that was expected or promised. They communicated with us every step of the way, and they were especially responsive and helpful when my husband’s case required more than anyone had anticipated. Every person we have spoken with in Lou’s office were patient and respectful, we never felt like we...
Lucas J.
Very good people to work with! I highly recommend this law firm.
Dustin M.
I have never had a more pleasant experience with an attorney and their paralegals in my life!!! Hands down the best law firm in North Carolina, probably the whole country! Would definitely recommend them to anyone needing counsel. They are all so easy to get along with and friendly.... My employer lied, as many do in this situation but Lou and his team were quick to step in and get me the compensation I deserved! Thank you, from my whole family. Waple and Houk are #1
Darrin R.
Mr. Lou is by far the most compassionate attorney I’ve encountered and once again he helped me with a worker’s compensation claim and his paralegal was also great. Mr.Lou is very professional and he allows you room for your concerns and opinions, he’s just a great human being that doesn’t need to advertise his partnership law firm on tv just ask any of his past clients and they would totally agree with me, God forbid that I’m in a serious car accident but if I am he’s just a phone call away so if you...

Mr. Waple did a fantastic job on my case, even if I wasn't a lot of help he still came through and for that I thank you Mr. Waple.
Tara D.
I was at a point of despair & thought that my then employer would do the right thing. Lou’s honesty, and integrity; along with his guidance gave me the dose of reality that I needed to see the true colors of legality in corporate America. Without his savvy I would have been blindsided! Cherie, always responded to all of my responses, and nervous reactions and made sure Lou was aware of what was happening! Great firm, I would highly recommend to anyone who wants respect, honesty and guidance as a client!
Aunyette S.
Mr.Waple has handled both of my cases very well. I definitely recommend this team of professional lawyers and secretaries. Thank you!
Tashaun H.
My experience working with Lou was an absolute joy. From our very first conversation, he assured me that he would work relentlessly to help me secure adequate compensation for my case and he did just that. His paralegal, Cheri, was helpful with timely responses to any and all questions I had and she helped reduce the stress of a very tedious process. I highly recommend this firm for any future litigation and would love to work with them again if the opportunity arises.
