Accident/Injury

YES, you need to hire Hait & Kuhn right now! I was injured in a car accident and as a highly educated individual, I thought I would be able to handle taking on the insurance company and get the treatment I needed to recover on my own, after all I wasn’t at fault. Less than two days later I was so... overwhelmed I called Hait & Kuhn. From the second I hired the firm, a huge burden was lifted off my chest. The entire staff is knowledgeable, versatile, compassionate, dedicated, and determined. Elizabeth Kuhn and Dee Dee’s brilliance encompass an array of expertise which allowed me to focus on my healing, my family, and my job without the weight and pressure of the insurance companies and paperwork. Without hesitation, I highly recommend this firm to anyone seeking legal assistance.

You are very sweet. I really appreciate you recognizing our outstanding staff. Without them us lawyers are nothing. They love this career and squeeze those insurance companies for every penny.

Results

Lizz represented my in a alimony modification.. I had began my case with another firm and they just were not able to get anywhere with it .. Once I hired Lizz and her team for the first time ever I really felt liked they listened to me and made me feel they could help .. This case was tough and took ...quite some time but they had my back every step of the way . I really can't say enough to compliment them on all their hard work .. Also over the course of the litigation several personal friends had told me they also used Lizz for their legal needs and were very happy with their representation.

Thank you so much! We know litigation is taxing emotionally, and financially. We do not always get the slam dunk win like we did with your case, but by golly we will try for all of our clients. Amazing how small we learned this world is. My favorite story is when you and your buddy were arguing who hired the best attorney only to agree it was our firm and we represented both of you separately!

Look no further...Lizz Kuhn is the attorney you want on your case.

It is a pleasure to write this review for Lizz, Irena and the whole team at North Metro Litigators. I unfortunately found myself facing a divorce, and interviewed several different attorneys to help me navigate what turned out to be one of the hardest life events to date that i have ever been th...rough. I could not imagine, looking back, having anyone else represent me through this process as we worked through a lot of crazy-Lizz and her team handled my case with confidence and know how due to the very apparent experience and expertise they possess. The firms communication of fees, timeline, expectations, and guidance were provided with great clarity. Every team member at the firm was available to answer any and all my questions, and answered them in an extremely timely manner with great detail so i could make decisions. I felt good through it all that i hired the right firm. I even found myself telling them often, "I'm so glad i hired a competent firm" because it didn't seem all attorneys are created equal as we started dealing with the opposing counsel. If you are reading this and have found yourself in a similar situation please do yourself a favor and look no further. This firm will get you through it. My utmost concern was the best outcome for my children and not being stripped of my rights as a loving and involved father. I followed their professional guidance though it all and in the end I was fortunate to get EXACTLY THE RESULT I WAS SEEKING for myself and most importantly my children. I have never been a part time dad and I'm almost emotional to share that i have full access to my children and will be an influential and solid foundation in their lives. Thank you sincerely from my family to yours for your help in all this Lizz, Irena and the rest of the team. My regards to you all, M Johnson

Thank you so much! We know this was a rough time for you and finally, after patience and hitting the wall (so to speak) the light shined through and you were able to move on with your case. As always, we wish you luck and hope you never need our services again. If you do, we are only a phone call or click away! Best of luck to you ;-)

Phenomenal Attorney with World Class Professionalism

I was introduced to Elizabeth Kuhn 2 years ago. She came highly recommended from other attorneys in her field. I was served with custody papers and at the time had no idea what this meant for me. Lizz directed me patiently step by step through what I could expect. I felt that her fees were reasonable... and her knowledge was vast. During this process Lizz and her paralegal team made sure that I was handling the process well. If I had any questions they were very prompt with returning my emails and phone calls. Lizz gives a very realistic point of view to a very emotional process. She thinks clearly and gives accurate and appropriate directions, which provided me a level of sanity to cope with this process. She was able to argue my case adequately and resolve any major issues without my case having to go to court. I have and will continue to recommend Elizabeth Kuhn to all of my family and friends. I am confident in her abilities as an attorney and am forever grateful for the role she played in helping me get my life back on track.

Thanks! We do take the team approach on all of our cases. This means we can help clients even when we are in court and in depositions. Having a full staff in both Alpharetta and Woodstock means you can actually meet with a person who knows what is going on even when Alex and I are unavailable. Thank you for all of these kind words ;-)

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.
