Fights for Her Client's

Kayann may be small, but she is mighty!! I was involved in a divorce matter and she fought every step of the way for me. Kayann listened to my concerns, didn't let the other party bulldog me and was a fantastic attorney. I would recommend her over and over again.

100% YES

Kayann represented me in a custody action. She was always quick to return my calls and provide updates to me. She was always more than fair when it came to billing and anytime her paralegal could handle something, she would allow her to which saved me a lot of money. Kayann is honest, hard working an...d understands the court system and the judges. She is someone you want on your team.

Heartfelt Professional Attorney

We have used Kayann since 2016 as our attorney. For 4 consistent years she has been there for us in every aspect. Through custody modifications multiple hearings she has devoted her time and attention to our case every single time. We used her to purchase our home as well! There will never be another... attorney like her. She has a client for life with our family!

SYMPATHETIC, PRACTICAL, STRATEGIC, COMMITTED

From my initial consultation with Kayann, I was impressed with the thorough manner in which she gleans the essential elements of conflict before making an evaluation of how the situation relates to Georgia law. Her honest assessment of the potential for success of my case was sensitive and frank, inf...orming me of the various options toward making a plan of action. Once I decided to hire Kayann, she quickly got the ball rolling in maneuvering me and my case through the Gilmer County Court System. She kept me constantly apprised of the status of my case; she also constantly referred back to our strategic plan, tracking developments and assessing the need for any modifications to our plan, based on those developments. My case took over a year to resolve. During that period, Kayann never put me on the back burner or made me feel anything less than a top priority. Her experience within and knowledge of the Gilmer County Court System resulted in a complete “win” for me. I highly recommend the law firm of Kayann Hayden West.

Hire Kayann!

I loved Kayann! She kept me informed throughout the whole process. She responded quickly to my emails and phone calls. She fought to make sure I was getting a fair settlement. She made me feel comfortable and treated my case as her top priority. In the courtroom, she took care of everything and took ...the majority of the stress out of my situation. I would hire her again any day! Hire her and you won't be disappointed!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
