From our first conversation Justin Set my mind at ease and took care of everything. He paid attention to our needs and always stayed in touch and was very thorough.He helped us get thru a difficult time,Thanks for all your help Sir.I will recommend him to anyone that needs a great lawyer in Columbia....

Wow, I don't even know where to start. Justin Kata was obtained for a divorce and custody case. He came into the picture after the first attorney had done 99% of the legwork. All Mr. Kata had to do was present the facts, along with obtain verification of a few items (health insurance premium, income,... etc.). To date, Mr. Kata has not provided copies of any correspondence or any billing invoices. Likely since he didn't do the work. He sat at the hearing like a bump on a log. I asked the Judge if I could please speak and fortunately, she allowed me too. I basically represented myself. I was able to obtain some documentation after the hearing proving dishonesty on the other parties behalf, but the other information I have not been able to obtain since I am not an attorney and can't issue subpoenas. I have filed a complaint with the SC Bar Grievances for ethical violations and also requested assistance under the Client Assistance Program with the Bar. DO NOT hire Justin Kata. Were it not for my solid foundation of being the top parent and speaking up for myself in the courtroom, I would have gotten completely screwed instead of partially screwed.
