Adam C. Cathey review

The law firm of Adam C. Cathy was highly recommended to us when we were faced with an immediate family crisis. My wife and I came to Mr. Cathey with a very complex family circumstance. He took time with us, carefully listened to our situation, and advised us. His advice was spot on, and we retained... him. He filed the needed court documents on our behalf. Mr Cathey is very knowledgeable in the family matter we brought to him, and acted promptly and professionally. We will most likely need his services in the future, and will not hesitate to retain him. Also, Mr Cathy is a very likable man, and his staff is incredibly supportive and proficient. My wife and I would highly recommend Adam C. Cathey. He has a great reputation as an attorney, and has maintained a consistently successful track record over the many years of his practice.

Never available

Hired two years ago for custody case that is still not finalized. I have emailed numerous times asking for updates or any ideas on what is going on, with no response. This may be on behalf of whoever responds to emails, but the communication never occcurs.

Real Estate problem

Mr. Cathey, was right there for me all the way. His prompt and personal advice and guidance, was just what I needed. The issue was settled quickly and effectively. Thank You again for all that you do.

Horrible with communication

Hired for custody issue, nothing was done for almost a year, unable to ever even get in touch with him for any reason. Attempting to call his office resulted in being told I would get a call back with an update that never came. No resolution ever occurred. Email communication is even worse with the p...aralegal. Never responds.

After reviewing my open files, I have not located any that have been neglected in the way this “anonymous” review indicates. My staff and I strive to respond quickly to all reasonable inquiries. I encourage this writer to contact my office directly if this continues to be a problem.

For fathers needing assistance with custody...

My ex challenged me fir chins custody & was awarded temporary full custody with supervised visitation. Adam helped gather the evidence that the claims against me were false & awarded back all of my previous joint custody. His staff answers emails promptly (usually same day) & he is very helpful with ...any & all questions you may have. If you're in Catoosa County, GA and need representation to get custody of your child & are a good parent, he's the man to go to. Thank you Adam Cathey!
