Posted by Kate | December 4, 2015 | Hired Attorney

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

You want Kathy in your corner!

We recently had a need for an attorney and are so glad that we were referred to Kathy. She is prompt in communicating; efficient in getting the job done; effective in court. She is honest and realistic in guiding the client's expectations. We would solicit her again in the future without hesitation.

Kathy is the best!!

We recently had the need for an Attorney and were fortunate enough to get Kathy Rowell. She was very knowledgeable about the law and kept in contact extremely well through the whole process. We were very happy with her professionalism and ability to not only fight our case, but her determination to... do what was right. We would recommend her without reserve.

"I endorse this lawyer. I worked with Kathy on a difficult grandparent visitation case, and I was met with very courteous negotiation efforts, which were sustained throughout, and resulted in a very reasonable agreed result. It was absolutely a pleasure working with Kathy, one of the best I have encountered in the last 29 years."

Family lawyer | Apr 02

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. I am a colleague of Kathy's in Chattanooga, and have worked with her, usually on the other side, for many years. Kathy is a delightful person and an excellent attorney. She has a vast experience and knowledge of family law, and is a very practical, hands-on courtroom litigator. She is very personable and easy to get to know, and is extremely concerned with her client's issues. She is very honest and positive. One of my personal favorites."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • 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.
