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.

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!

Professional, exceptional and highly recommended

Ms. Bennett represented my grandson in a criminal matter that could have altered his life. The outcome she achieved was fair and what we hoped for. She is up front, honest, does not mince words, and worked very hard for my grandson. She is available to answer any questions and never made us feel ...rushed. I would highly recommend her.

The BEST in Ocala

Ms. Bennett made me feel good and also confident about my case and what my options were for me because it wasn't really looking too good for me in the beginning. She was extremely helpful, professional, diligent, and made sure my family and I were up to speed every step of the way during a very tryin...g and difficult time for me but she fought and did everything and then some that she said she would try to accomplish for me and for that I am forever grateful for her guidance and help with me and my case 10/10 would recommend to everyone I know to give her a call because she is without a doubt the new best defense attorney in town.

Professional, understanding, and non-judgmental.

When I presented her with my case concerns she was able to get right to work quickly. She was able to address the courts concerns in a clear matter and let me know just what options was available for my case. I had several options to choose from and she had advised me on the best one for me was Menta...l Health Court. I did not understand what this was at first but she did give me a lot of information about the process of the court proceedings and she advised it would work well for me. I did choose this option and it has worked out great. The Mental Health Court is easy to follow through with as long as you follow the court rules and regulations you will work yourself through the program in no time. I can not say enough about the advice from Kathryn that lead me to a better place in my life. Things have changed for me a great deal in such a positive way. The Mental Health Court is a great program that will help you get what you need mentally and medically. The program opens up doors that you can not for yourself. These doors will be opened up for you to have a better life. This is a great support system. If you are ever suggested to go this direction "TAKE IT". You will be happy you did and you will have a new lease on life. Thank you Mrs. Bennett.

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."
