Thankyou Kathleen

I would hire Kathleen again. I appreciate her attentiveness to my concerns and questions, and providing answers. Kathleen was easy to get a hold of one the phone and was prompt to return any phone calls that were missed. I appreciate that I wasn't treated as a number, but sensed she had a grasp on my... case personally and was on a first name basis. I would recommend Kathleen on any family law concerns. Thankyou Kathleen.

Defendent

She is a great public defender, takes her time to discuss the case throughly. Most public defenders dont take the time to get to know you and care, Kathleen does. If i had to pay her in the future if anything happens, she would be my first call.

TOTALLY AWESOME!!!

The Aderhold Group was absolutely amazing! Always answered any questions or concerns I had, worked with me through every aspect of my case. Clair Hughes was my actual lawyer, but the WHOLE office was always more than willing to help me:-) I was ready to just throw in the towel to just get everything ...over with and they wouldn't let me, and for that I am so very grateful!! They did an excellent job throughout the entire process and I couldn't have asked for better assistance (and don't think I could've gotten it!) I can't possibly stress enough how wonderful they are and DEFINITELY would recommend the office to anyone in need of help! God willing, I will not be in need again, but if so, I will not hesitate to contact them:-) Thank you so very much for listening to my advice!!

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!

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.

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.
