What makes Kathy different from so many attorneys.

Kathy went above and beyond to help me with a very sensitive family matter, not only did she do everything she could to help me legally, she was also stepped outside of simply the attorney client role and helped to provide emotional support and advice. We ended up getting the results that I wanted an...d then some. What I admired about her so much in my situation is that she could have pushed for more and we could have won more but in my situation it would have been detrimental to the child involved. First and foremost she took my daughter into account and while we could have easily extended an ugly battle and won and she would have made more money in doing so she showed both empathy for the situation and legal acumen. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for legal representation that both gets the job done and actually cares about the client.

Thank you so much Alisha for your kind words. I cannot begin to tell you how touched I am by what you said. You are so very welcome for everything, and you deserved the results we got and then some. You did all the hard work, we just made sure that opposing counsel knew it. Good luck and we can't wait to see pictures of you and your little doing amazing things!

Mr. Thomas Courtney Mt. Juliet, Tn

Kathy was awesome handling my very difficult custody battle. She took over, explained the options, developed a plan of action to get what was the best for my kids and did so utilizing her knowledge and experience to do so. She was available and very personable as was her staff with any answers to a t...on of questions we had. I would highly recommend Kathy and her staff to anyone I know who is dealing with any family legal matter. We are very grateful she came highly recommended by a friend.

  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
