Katharine Wesley Maddox

Katherine is an outstanding litigator who not only knows family law back and forth, but also understands how emotionally challenging family matters can be. It is that knowledge, experience, and dedication to children’s best interest that enabled her to consistently provided me rational counsel and ef...fective representation to ultimately secure my children’s best interests and custody. She has also surrounded herself with an outstanding staff as dedicated and compassionate as she is. They collectively supported me in one of the most emotionally difficult periods of my life. I thank them from the bottom of my heart for their outstanding work supporting me as a father in securing my children’s well-being throughout a contentious trial with unexpected twist and turns to which they admirably adjusted and helped me prevail.

I feel very fortunate to have found attorney Katharine Maddox and that she accepted to take my case. I had hired another attorney initially and was not really happy with his work. I began to look for a replacement. Katharine came highly recommended from another attorney. Switching attorneys in the mi...ddle of a divorce process is scary. Katharine did not skip a beat, which made for a very smooth transition. She made an extremely stressful, scary and messy process bearable. I felt well taken care of from the very beginning. I was impressed with how effective Katharine can be and still deliver such high quality work. She would not take up valuable time unless absolutely necessary. Information sessions were to the point. Katharine has a penchant for impeccable structure and attention to detail. She also had junior attorneys that could do some ground work to help with cost. My former attorney had advised me against asking for full custody, even though I had repeatedly expressed this was my preference, and for very good reason. Receiving resistance from my former attorney I gave up on that idea. It did not take long after Katharine had a chance to review my case that she asked if shared custody was really what I thought was best for my daughter? I did not think so. She said that she thought that full custody would be very reasonable in my case. I ultimately won full custody. A client will have a very powerful and conscientious partner in Maddox & Gerock. I feel I still have, should I need it in the future. I am completely confident that Katharine will get done whatever is legally possible, to serve the interest of myself and my daughter. Katharine is passionate about her work. It shines through. I believe it gives her that extra edge that definitely my first attorney was totally lacking. I highly recommend Katharine and her firm.
