Incredible results!

After months of trying to get my Lowndes County Georgia probation terminated with the attorney that I originally hired the case seemed to go no where. My calls weren't being returned and my emails weren't being answered. With some frustration I decided to seek out another attorney. I was probably ...told by about 8-9 attorneys that they probably wouldn't be able to do much to help me and if they could help it would take a while. Once I spoke to Attorney Katherine Gonos I knew I had found someone who took a unique interest in my case, did her research, and then called me back to tell me that she can help me. I hired her and within under two months my probation was terminated. I had never violated and had completed all of my terms. Throughout the whole process she answered my calls and emails promptly. She really knows her stuff when it comes to criminal law. Everything she told me was accurate

Former Defendant

Katherine Gonos helped me out a great deal in my case. I was in jail with a hold placed on me by probation. It is tough to get out of jail with a probation hold but she was able to get me in front of the preferred judge in a timely fashion. He would then grant me a bond that would allow me to get out.... I had 5 felonies that were marijuana related. Since I was on probation when I got caught doing the same exact thing I was placed on probation for, there was no way she could have gotten me completely out of the mess I was in. She did however, get 4 out of the 5 of my felonies dropped. She also helped me avoid three years in prison. I would highly recommend her.

Highly Recommend

Mrs. Gonos was detail-oriented and applied professionalism as she served as a defense attorney for my son's case. She took on the challenge of defending my son and the outcome was was a success. Mrs. Gonos displayed patience and sincerity in her role which made the process more bearable. Valdosta nee...ds more attorneys like her.

Katherine is awesome!

This attorney handled an important case for me. She worked hard on my case and represented me well. Most importantly Mrs Katherine is the reason I was found not guilty. She knows her stuff and is tough in the courtroom. If you feel like you were wrongfully arrested or your rights were violated she i...s definately the person you want batting for you.
