Absolutely worth every penny!.....Something you don't hear very often when it comes to Divorce Lawyers!

I went into this unfortunate situation completely unaware of what to expect. Constantly worried about what the final outcome would be, but in the end Catherine delivered in all aspects of representing me and my needs. In comparison to the opposing the counsel, it was so obvious that Catherine was bet...ter prepared, more knowledgable, better organized, and completely in control of the situation at all times. Not only was she great at representing me as a lawyer, but she herself is a genuine good person, and I felt that she truly had my best interest in mind throughout the process. She completely goes against the stereotypical divorce lawyer you hear about, and you actually feel that your are not just a case number, but rather a person in need of help that she takes very seriously. I highly recommend her! Going through a difficult-emotional situation is never easy, and often times the end result can be detrimental. In my case, I am walking away with a peace of mind and completely satisfied.

Catherine was BRILLIANT in my divorce!!!!

Going through a divorce is not something most people anticipate and there are no real guidelines to follow on what to do but Catherine sure was knowledgeable, compassionate and very good throughout the entire process. She is a great listener and provided really good insight for my situation. She w...alked me through every step and gave me great recommendations for a Private Investigator and Forensic Accountant. She was amazing in court and well respected by her peers and the Judge. I felt like she really prepared for my case and she was able to fight for me and we received great results. She won't overpromise you but she often exceeded my expectations in what we were awarded by the Judge. I have and will continue to recommend her to anyone going through a divorce.

Simply the best

Catherine was my steadfast strength during a most turbulent time. She represented me in what COULD have been a very difficult, time-consuming , costly divorce. The other "big name" Atlanta attorneys that I met with were more than happy to represent me, but they quoted fees in the tens of thousand...s of dollars. Enter Catherine Danz. She empathetically listened to my story, then said: "You don't need to spend a fortune for this divorce. You're a smart lady. You can get him to agree and avoid a court case." She then proceeded to administer not only fantastic legal advice, but indeed wonderful moral support. And moral support was just what I needed! We prevailed, and Catherine is the reason. And due to her honest, non-greedy style, there were more assets left in my coffers at the end of the ordeal. THAT is the mark of a great attorney. She's good. She's human. She wins. Retain her before your opponent does.

The most difficult time in a man's life.

Catherine helped me through the most difficult time in my life! My marriage of 22 years was falling apart and so was I! In a moment of clarity I said to myself: "You can't do this alone." I consulted several attorneys but Catherine was the first who brought hope. I truly felt: "I can TRUST this woman...." Catherine was extremely responsive to my needs. She was incredible in her knowledge of the law. Catherine is a sound tactician in her application of the law to the individual person. Catherine kept me informed and updated throughout the entire process. I could not have asked for more! I recommend Catherine to help you through the most difficult time in your life!

A wonderful, caring attorney

I hired Catherine during my divorce in 2005. She was a great person to speak to and work with. She always listened and cared about my concerns. She was patient and very effective in dealing with opposing counsel. I would highly recommend her.
