If you're looking for a lawyer you can trust and depend on, go elsewhere.

Kathryn does not have the clients best interests at heart. A friend of mine hired her for a criminal case and she did nothing. I wouldn't say she's incompetent, instead, I'd say she's lazy which is terrible for a "lawyer" as lawyers should fight for their clients. If you want someone who is going to ...have your back and fight for you, find someone else.

Takes your money and runs!!! Zero communication!

Biggest waste of money I do not believe one review on here is being honest. was lied to and no communication at all barley an email. Worst lawyer I ever came across... Please do a better job picking a lawyer and do not use her she will waste your time and money

AMAZING ATTORNEY

Ms Kathryn Bennett is an AMAZING attorney. She helped my son with his case when no one else would take the case. She was very knowledgeable and professional. She knew what she was talking about and had all her facts in order. She went up against the State of Florida and Marion County Sherriff and p...roved some of their information was inaccurate. She was very upfront about everything every step of the way. She explained the good , the bad , what was expected or what could go the opposite direction. She was amazing and I would recommend her to anyone.

NOT IMPRESSED

My son is desperate for help, yet Ms Bennett is obviously in the hip pocket of the Marion County Sheriffs Office. From our initial feeling that she truly cared about justice, down to her being not interested, I honestly have zero faith in any criminal defense attorney in that area, especially her!!! ...Good luck to anyone who hires her.

Amazing Attorney

Kathryn represented my husband in a felony case that would have changed our live tremendously. She was honest, truthful and straightforward. She stood her ground and reviewed every detail of the case . The outcome was fair and we were pleased with the results. She was highly recommended by one of th...e best attorneys in Gainesville. If you or someone you know finds themselves in the Court system for an alleged criminal charges I would highly suggest and recommend you hire her. It was worth every penny!

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have worked with Ms. Bennett on several cases. She is one of the most tenacious trial attorneys that I have ever seen. She simply does not take no for answer. In trial she has a laser sharp focus that assures proper objections are made timely and persuasively. Her arguments are made with the sort of fervor that leaves juries and judges alike with no doubt as to her own conviction regarding the matter. I would absolutely want her on my team if the state ever alleged criminal allegations against me or my family. If you are charged with a criminal matter of any kind, it would be foolish not to discuss your case with her and at the very least get her thoughts on the charges. She is top notch. My firm has and will continue to employ her services on high profile matters."
