Hands down, the BEST!!!

I am forever thankful for Kathleen Aderhold! If you need an attorney who is a fighter, responsive, hardworking and passionate about your case, you have found your her! She handled my child custody case with nothing but precision. Her attention to detail was phenomenal and always being one step ahe...ad of the game was what I needed! Highly recommend this law firm!

Fantastic.

I have known Mrs. Kathleen for years! She has helped my dad out on multiple occasions (from custody issues to probation violations). She has also helped me out tremendously. She is very upfront, honest, and does not sugarcoat anything. I highly recommend her over anyone else!

Money hungry attorney

Kathleen Alderfake is a rip off and doesn’t do anything she says, I hired her for a custody modification and paid her 5k and got maybe $500 dollars worth of things change not including how she lies to the judge and told him that I was refusing to communicate with her and all I did was chase her down ...and every time I called she was never in her office and her secretary was rude and doesn’t have any peoples skills what attorney lies and drops your case in the middle of the case and after she gets all your money... I will advise anyone not to hire this thing because she will speak good things in your ear until she gets your money and after that get ready to play hide and seek with this old hoe because that’s the only thing she’s good at is hiding and lying...

Completely Disgusted

I hired Kathleen to handle my divorce and child custody case. She was hardly ever in the office, NEVER returned a phone call or responded to an email until you got ugly. Her assistant is rude and hateful: a true lack of professionalism. She was late for EVERY appointment, said she had documents ready... when she didn't, and was completely not a representative to me as to my wants and desires or that of my child. She wanted to do things her way to make more money off of me. After $5k paid to her, I ended up resolving the matter by settling through my ex wife's attorney and having then draw up the papers. She's a complete disappointment to the Judicial system and I would not recommend anyone using her. I'm filing a complaint with the GA Bar Association and I plan to sue to get back all of the money I paid to her.

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!

  • 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.
