Katherine A. Forrest

As a father of 3 I never thought I'd have a chance at primary custody of my younger two children. Katherine fought for me and showed me exactly what a devoted attorney will do for you. I highly recommend her. I now have primary custody of my children and I will not think twice at recommending her to ...anyone that needs a wonderful attorney.

I have been involved in a civil family law case for the better part of three years. My wife and I separated and divorced but there has been one issue after another. I was represented during a modification but it was poor representation and unfortunantley I did not understand what I really signed. ...Fast forward to the case moving to Carteret county and another action filed. I needed an attorney and I CANNOT be more thankful that Buzzy Stubbs office sent me to Katherine. She was very professional and thorough. I live over 230 miles away from Beaufort so the initial contact was a phone consult. Immediately I was pleased I paid the two hour consult charge. Katherine had already reviewed material and had several options that she felt would help. The case ended up going to hearing. Katherine stayed in constant contact, she kept me well informed and even with the obstacle of distance she told me exactly what she needed to prepare. I never felt unprepared and for the first time in three years I had no doubt I had an advocate that was going to do all they could for me. Needless to say the day of the hearing nobody in the courtroom was ready including me! Katherine's prowess as an attorney is unparalleled. Over two months of phone calls and emails I came to know an intelligent, honest, compassionate person. This day, the day of the hearing her aggressiveness really shown during the cross. I had witnesses there ready to testify on my behalf and we all talk about Katherine's skill in the courtroom to this day. I believe there is an earlier review that states all she knows how to do is WIN!!....I can't state it any better! Call her and set up a consult. I have no doubt you will hire her afterwards and you will not regret it!

We used Katherine based on the reviews on the internet. BIG MISTAKE! We paid the $5000 retainer. She was more interested in working with the baby’s father’s attorney. When we worked out a decent visitation schedule, Katherine was contacted and asked to make the custody/visitation agreement permanent.... More than a year later, she left the law firm she was with and NOTHING was done to make the agreement permanent. I don’t feel she did her best for our case. She charged us for everything and we still only have a “temporary” agreement. I cannot recommend her in good conscience.
