Review of Katherine Gonos's service

I am writing a 5 star review for Ms. Katherine Gonos. She is absolutely an amazing attorney, and she was able to handle a divorce between my daughter -in - law, and my son, with immediate and efficient expediency, at a cost that was so reasonable that I have been nothing less than to be impressed and... appreciative. She was compassionate, caring, professional, and highly knowledgeable, pertaining to law and order, as well as being so immensely kind and considerate, and patient, as she helped my daughter in law, work toward separating and securing a divorce from my son, which had to be done, due to his decision to take on another woman. I am not angry or vindictive about the situation, as none of the impending parties were, but two children were in consideration here, and their best interest was in the forefront of legal proceedings. Katherine was able to compassionately mitigate between my daughter-in-law, and my son, to resolve a divorce situation that could have been awful, if she had been confrontational, or behaved in a non compassionate manner. I entirely recommend her for any sort of legal advice that she offers, because she is well mannered, caring, considerate, professional, extremely knowledgeable about law, and she truly listens to a client, and is motivated toward a just and positive outcome for all. In fact, Katherine went well above and beyond her duty, to attempt to reconcile the relationship between my son and his divorcing wife, in a manner that I have never witnessed. She is a fantastic lawyer, and I recommend that any person who is looking for an attorney, considers her, because she will truly be on the sideS of you, as the client, and she will not create a horrible situation with the opposing side. Katherine Gonos , is an amazing lawyer.. She has been the most perfect, imaginable, representation , and she has handled a difficult situation, immeasurably well. I recommend Katherine Gonos completely as an attorney who can handle any legal matter.

Smooth Process!

Attorney Gonos made a potential heartbreaking and disastrous moment a smooth transition! Couldn’t be more happier with my decision to retain her!

Hired Several Times

I highly recommend this lawyer! She successfully represented me in several cases. Ms. Gonos has fought for me in and out of court including divorce, child support modification, and child custody modification. Ms. Gonos was always prepared and knowledgeable about the specifics of my case. She made me ...feel confident and comfortable, knowing that my children would be safe and the final decisions would be in their best interest.

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!

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.
