Amazing Attorney

I am in the military and live in Germany. I was having a lot of problems getting my child support re-evaluated by the State of Georgia. Georgia kept messing up the paperwork and wasn't updating information on my case. They constantly showed me in arrears when I was not. When I got the State's final ...determination on payment I knew they still hadn't updated the information so I contacted Katie and she has been amazing. With the 6 hour time difference between us and knowing my constraints of being overseas she was still there to answer any questions I had and if she wasn't available right away she always got back to me before the end of the day. She submitted paperwork when I need it submitted, and answered my emails right away. When we finally went to court she was absolutely amazing. I just sat back and she handled all of the talking. I didn't have to say a word. I highly recommend Katie!

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.

Honest and Reliable.

Ms. Gonos has represented me in divorce and custody cases. She is well versed in family law and not afraid to fight for her clients. She has helped me retain custody, and increase child support. I appreciIate her straight forward attitude iand clear communication in getting things done. She is reliab...le and effective.

Professional and Caring

I would like to thank Mrs. Gonos for not only the awesome job she did but how she kept us in the loop every step of the way, when I first walked through the door she took the time to take notes about not only my sons case but about him and his family. Throughout the fourteen months it took to have h...is case brought before the judge her and my son came really close. If you find yourself in need of an attorney Mrs. Gonos is knowledgeable, caring, professional and a friend.
