Highly recommend

Without discussing the nature of your situation, let me just say Catherine was beyond impressive. Her office was recommended highly by another and we weren't let down at all. She's our attorney for life. Thanks so much

Professionalism with peace of mind!

I consulted with Cetherine Garland as i was referred to her by a friend of mine seeking assistance in dissolving my marriage. I was extremely worried about how difficult the process might be as I have children involved. Catherine was very informative and also understanding. By the end of the consulta...tion I knew immediately that I wanted to retain her services and continue with the process. She handled every request and concern I had promptly and in a way that made this whole process stress free. When we went to court, she represented me and answered all questions perfectly while my mind was in a million places. I would absolutely recommend Catherine's services to anyone in need and would further say it was a privelage being represented by her.

Lawyer Par Excellence

In the Summer of 2017, my wife told me she wanted a divorce--rocked my world, caught me off guard, I thought things were good, etc. When it became apparent that none of my efforts to reconcile were going to work, I knew I needed a lawyer. I had consulted with two other lawyers before I met with Ca...therine Garland. Catherine was recommended because she had a strong track record dealing with the lawyer my wife hired. After meeting with her, I knew she was the lawyer I needed. Catherine and her office were remarkably responsive; I joked with a colleague I felt like I had 24/7 and online support. She was not only knowledgeable, but has a wisdom and confidence that is apparent. And she is brutally honest--I didn't get everything I wanted, necessarily, but I got a really good agreement put in place where I keep the house and get joint custody of my children. At one point, the ex-wife threatened to tell her lawyer to file for divorce and take our differences to court. Catherine reached out to the other lawyer, talked everyone off the ledge and within a week we had an agreement I was willing to sign. I have never heard of a lawyer doing such a thing before. Catherine's office was awesome, too; everyone was 100% professional and responsive. I would HIGHLY recommend Catherine Garland to anyone needing a divorce lawyer. This was the worst thing I have ever been through, but Catherine was able to calm the waters and kept me sane during the final steps.

She did a wonderful job helping me with my case, anything I didn’t know or wanted to know she was there to help and assist me! Thanks so much for everything and I will be using her again if I ever need too.

Professional, Personable, and Hard Working

Catherine and the staff at Bill Hall Law Firm were amazing. I had a, maybe not unique, but very rare situation with my custody battle. It was new territory for all involved. Extra work was put in to gain knowledge on how to navigate the situation. While she obviously had other clients, I never felt l...ike I was put 2nd to any other cases and always received prompt responses to questions I would have. She made sure that I didn't get my expectations up and prepare for the most likely of outcomes. (Spoiler alert: I had a much better outcome than anyone would have thought). I was also given tasks, like gathering call logs and other menial tasks, to help save myself some money. So even though those hourly rates hurt the pocket book, her professionalism and attitude towards taking care of her clients makes it well worth the cost for anyone trying to get through what is likely a tough time. I highly recommend anyone in need of a consultation contact her.
