Kathy is a gem

I used Kathy for both my divorce (amicable) and a not-so-amicable issue 13 years later. She is kind, thorough and practical. She is also compassionate and a truly decent person. This is not altogether common, but it is imperative when in situations with so much at stake. I can't recommend her highly ...enough.

Fantastic Lawyer

I met with Kathy last year about my divorce and she took on my case. It ended up being a very nasty custody battle that required a lot of back and forth. Kathy was very thorough and professional. She walked me through every step and was patient when we had to go over stuff. I honestly could not ask f...or a better lawyer. She was truly on top of things and empathetic at the same time. She also worked with me on my payments. I would recommend her to anyone who needs someone thorough, kind, and professional. She knows her stuff.

Great Representation

Kathy helped me with a child support arrearage matter against my ex-husband. She helped me collect what was due and owing. Kathy is very caring and works hard for her clients. She is always professional in her dealings with clients and opposing counsel. I highly recommend Kathy for any legal repr...esentation needs.

When you need an advocate

I had given physical custody & agreed to support to get my Legitimation processed without opposition. Subsequently the SHTF & Kathy Adams-Carter represented me in a modification & really messy custody case that stretched out nearly 2 years from the point that DFACS gave me physical custody of my chil...d. Kathy was a great advocate; more importantly, she was tough minded. Tough enough to keep me focused on a strategy that ultimately got me primary custody, only supervised visitation and living out of state.

Best Attorney I have ever hired!

To Whom it may Concern: For eighteen years, Katherine Adams Carter has been my lawyer and friend. When I owned my company, she was my firm’s attorney as well. She has always done an amazing job for me, for my family and for my company. We have been through a few law suits and she won them all.... She has done my entire family’s wills and all necessary documents that go with them. I have referred her to many friends and families. Everyone has always come to the same conclusion. She is a brilliant attorney with an engaging personality. That is a rare combination. One of my favorite things about Kathy is that she never quits trying to make a compromise in her dealing with the other side. She is definitely the voice of reason. That is why her cases rarely go to litigation. She does not waste time driving the hours up on her clients. I could speak volumes about Kathy, but if you are looking for an intelligent and savvy attorney with a positive outlook and a great personality, she is for you. I highly recommend my lawyer and friend Katherine Adams Carter. Best regards, Gary M
