Amazing professionalism, outstanding results. about time an attorney who sincerely cares and fights for her clients.

Mrs. Kathleen Aderhold is not only a phenomenal attorney, who gives her everything to make absolutely sure your not being taken advantage of, she also is very fair in her pricing and willing to work with you in any circumstance. I don't understand why everyone isn't hiring her. I've dealt with other... attorneys and never had the great experience that I've had with Mrs. Kathleen. Its no wonder that she has been voted best attorney numerous times. She absolutely deserves it. Words could never express my gratitude for not only her hard work but who she is as a person as well. keep up the amazing job. Thanks.

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.

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.

poor communication

Never returns phone calls,emails in a timely manner. Never any timely manner updates on case. i went over 65 days at a times with out updates., always told to be patience and wait. paid $3800 two years ago and every court date has been continued.. i requested almost all of requested records to speed ...up case. and still got charged for it, Never received a bill in 2 years. Just this month office requested either pay bill in full or case would be dropped... after office agreed to payment schedule.
