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.

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.

Wonderful Attorney - Highly Recommended - Very Satisfied Client

Elizabeth Kuhn vigorously represented me during a child support matter against my ex. She always took the time to answer my questions and always made me feel like I was an important client, even though my case was a simple matter. She was knowledgable and professional and I was very comfortable with ...her as my legal representative. Her entire staff was amazing and always so helpful and quick to respond to any questions I had. I was fully informed of the process and what to expect so nothing came as a surprise. I had full and complete confidence in Ms. Kuhn and her firm and I definitely know who to call in case I'm in need of legal assistance in the future.
