Contested Divorce

I was not referred to a practice. They were never mentioned to me when I asked my coworkers/family. I did though, see many reviews about how great they were in court with these types of cases, and it seemed that they could not be matched. All of the reviews were right. They were very professional, b...ut kind all at the same time. My case was very emotional to me, because the father of my child kept her away from me. They were prompt with communicating back and forth, even when speaking with my ex's attorney. I sat on Liz's left side in that court room and have never been more proud of women today. She stood up and laid that hammer down hard, but professionally. I am very appreciative in all of there hard work and effort. I will be recommending her and her law firm to anyone I know that needs legal advice and assistance.

IN LOVE WITH THEIR SERVICE

I retained Elizabeth Kuhn as my attorney and her team helped me win my case with no sweat off our backs. She is expensive however I advise you save every penny to get her because she will do it right THE FIRST TIME! I had a cheaper attorney handle my case initially and messed it up to the point it en...ded up costing me severely in the end. If you go with Lizz, she'll do it right the first time so the investment is worth it. So here is what happened: I had a contempt action brought against me by my ex who is a superior manipulator. Also, I was up against a judge who dislikes me to the core due to his master skill. I was screwed. I went to a cobb county workshop to see if I could potentially represent myself and quickly found out that I shouldn't. They had a list of lawyer referrals and Lizz was on there. I met Lizz and outright she took charge in the consultation. You could tell just from speaking to her that she plays NO GAMES. I chose Lizz over everyone else because of her intimidating persona on top of her vast knowledge of the law. You do not want a passive lawyer who is going to go to court all scared especially if this is a highly contested situation. (I know from experience). She was quick, efficient, everything that she did and we were billed for was used and not wasted, she knew exactly what to do, when to do it, how to do it. In court, her confidence made me feel confident that we got this. The other attorney seemed pretty embarrassed with his client after Lizz got done. She had only about a week and a half to prepare but yet I. Won. My. Case. She saved my only baby from being ripped from me. (That is what my ex was asking for) and she saved me from potentially going to jail from a technicality in the court order. You need her on your case. I promise you. Spend the money, and save your family! Money comes and goes but your babies are all you have!

Thank you Cicely! I appreciate the comparison with getting what you pay for. I am happy to have serviced you and my job would be easier with amazing clients such as yourself. Hopefully we never see each other again, but if you need me you know where I am.

Liz DOMINATES the courtroom!

I went Hait & Kuhn in May of 2013 to review an uncontested divorce. My consultation was with Liz Kuhn. She did an excellent job reviewing the uncontested. She explained some things and I determined I was getting a pretty raw deal. So I had my (now) ex-wife served with a contested divorce. It was a lo...ng and tough road but Hait & Kuhn was really there for me. We all worked very hard. I mediated joint custody but when my ex tried to move our daughters hundred of miles away, I was given my options and we ended up modifying custody. I, as a man, ended up the custodial parent of my daughters! She is an impressive litigator, who definitely has a passion for law. In trial she was quick on her feet and had a rhythm to her questioning I found quite effective. The entire firm has been responsive to my inquiries, via telephone and email. I would definitely refer friends and family and return to their firm for any legal services.

Thanks Justin! Happy Mother's Day to you. You were a great client. You made my job easy by following our advice and protecting yourself!

Thank you Lizz for your expertise and guidance!

Even though the opposing councel was working hard to take away everything from me(after being married for 23 years and three children later), Lizz and Alex worked diligently on my behalf! I was awarded primary physical custody of my son, half pension, and child supportI I want to thank the entire law... firm at Hait & Kuhn for their outstanding service. They made an extremely difficult time in my life much more bearable. Liz and Alex handled my divorce case with such professionalism and grace at all times, however they know just at the right times when to "PLAY HARD" and believe me they can out-smart the best of them! Their stamina and work ethic, in addition to their knowledge, research, and skills is the best out there...They never stopped working on my behalf and always advocated for me. When things looked scary they assured me that everything would turn out ok! Liz and Alex are the best at their craft. They are always keeping up with best law practices and they work around the clock to assure the best outcome possible for their client!As soon as I presented my case to Lizz she new exactly how to proceed and even though alot of my case had to do with an out of state pension and nasty opposition from the opposing councel she NEVER backed down! !

she lends great confidence to her Clients

Lizz was very assertive on our behalf in presenting our case and gave us great confidence through the entire divorce and custody proceedings.. She was always accessible and able to provide context to the nature of the legal issues as they arose. This is a very important to anyone going through a di...vorce/custody hearing since the process at times seems confusing and complex. You will not regret engaging her services.
