Strongly recommend this attorny

Ms. Aderhold represented me in a divorce case. I found her to be exceptionally professional, politely but firmly direct, and gifted with an expertise that comes from years of practice. She is exceptionally knowledgeable not simply in the context of knowing the written law, but also in understanding ...and applying the intangibles that are learned from years of courtroom practice. Ms. Aderhold knew when to be aggressive and when to hold back, when patience was in order and when it was opportune to move ahead. She was always available for a meeting and communicated by email when there was something to discuss. She listened to me and inevitably took my thoughts into consideration; in turn, final decisions on issues were mine, but I found her counsel to be balanced and wisely informed. Most important, I have full trust in this attorney. I intend to retain Ms. Aderhold for any future legal problems that may arise.

Very compassionate, thorough, and highly skilled lawyer.

Kathleen is a very professional, highly skilled lawyer. She is a very compassionate lawyer and cares about her clients. She knew all the details involved in my case and was very thorough with everything. Because of Kathleen, I now have custody of my beautiful little girl and I can't thank her enou...gh. She saw through the lies of the opposing party which had proven to be of little hope from past experiences but she changed all of that for me and my family. If you are looking for an attorney who will care about your case and will do all she can to get the outcome you are hoping for then Kathleen is the lawyer you need. I would definitely recommend Kathleen. Thank you so much Kathleen! You have made our family whole again and restored our hope that was once was lost!

Great lawyer

Ms. Aderhold was assigned to me for my state court case. I did not expect her to do much for me and my case. I was wrong. She and her staff were very helpful and friendly throughout the case. She fought hard on my behalf and got me a way better outcome than I could have ever thought to be possible.

Terrible Attorney

Hiring Kathleen was the worst decision that me and my wife could have made. She never returns calls , never did anything for us in our custody battle. Missed court dates. Threatened to drop us unless she recieved $5000 , after we had already given her thousands of dollars and only 1 week before we w...ere supposed to go to court. I recommend that if you are in need of an attorney , that you stay very very far away from this lawyer.

Savannah's Best!

I have not lived in Savannah since high school; I got a girl pregnant my senior year of high school and had already started college when the baby was born. Ms. Aderhold helped me legitimate my daughter while I was still in college and got visitation for me and my family. During college and after, my ...daughter's mother and family constantly created excuses to keep my daughter away from me.- Ms. Aderhold stopped that. She went to mediation, probate - juvenile & superior courts for me. Last year I gained custody of my 7 year old daughter. My family LOVES Kathleen; my daughter's mother and her family can't stand her. I will always be indebted to her for what she did for me and my family. Highly recommend.
