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!

Mrs. Everett and Noel were amazing at understanding exactly what I wanted and needed. They were patient, attentive, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend working with them

Kathy is worthy of your time.

Kathy is an amazing attorney. After 15 years of dealing with a case out of state and many challenges with other attorneys, Kathy found a fair solution for me. I have great respect for her talent as an attorney, and even more, I admire her as a wonderful person. Thank you, Kathy, for being my attorn...ey.

We worked as a team!

Special ladies here, and Kathy & Noel are the best for me and my situation! They answered my call at what I thought was the worst time of my life! I was searching for a divorce attorney to handle a very toxic situation, and they stepped up & mastered the challenge. They provided both legal & emotion...al support .... And it got ugly, but they gave me what I needed for every situation that came our way, and there was a lot! They are a great team, Kathy with her law expertise & experience, and Noel with her life experience & emotional support! They pumped me up to remind me that "I can do this" and reeled me in with reality when I wanted to go for the throat! No BS of telling me what I wanted to hear but let me vent and gave me what I NEEDED to hear but always reminded me that I was in control of my life & my decisions. It has been over 2 years since we started.... Delays are frustrating, but it was no fault of theirs...they worked with me through initial filing, reconciliation attempt, multiple sideshow DV court hearings, narcissistic power trips & game(s) of future ex-spouse, and finally, the end game of a 30+ year facade. I would not have wished for 2 better people to get me through this ordeal, they started out as 'people you hire to get things done' and have now become a special couple of ladies, now including Cyanea, that I like to call friends. Thank you from the bottom of my now happily divorced heart!!! You ladies ROCK!

LeeAnn, Where do I start??? We wish you nothing but happiness and joy in your future because you have EARNED IT! Thank you so very much for all of the wonderful things that you have said, and for the friendship that you have shown us. Just know that while I hope with everything I am that you won't need us again, we'll be here anyway! Always, Kathy, Noel & Cyanea

Awesome Law Practice

Kathy and Noel were amazing throughout the painful process of my divorce. They made something that was incredibly stressful a little less so and communicated with me early and often throughout the process. Often times attorneys have reputations for not returning calls or keeping you in the loop---not... the case here. Also unlike other law offices walking into Everette Law, while always very professional, felt more like I was dropping by to talk with a couple of friends. Not stuffy and once the legal talk was over we always moved on to debating the finer points of SEC football etc. I consider Kathy and Noel friends and could not recommend their services more.
