You Want Her On Your Side

I never thought I’d end up needing to hire a lawyer; it’s not like you get married with the forethought of divorce. With that being said, Kathryn and her team helped me navigate through the toughest time in my life. When my ex-husband counter-sued, Kathryn displayed an immense amount of adept strateg...y and we came out with the better end... and that was due solely to her strategic thinking. When I felt like I was being pushed into a corner by my ex, Kathryn encouraged me to remain steadfast and look at the long term effects of the decree versus short term. She (and the entire team) worked diligently to move my case along when my ex-husband stopped responding to communication from the courts and his own lawyer. Even when my father passed away, Kathryn and Elishia championed my case to ensure I was able to grieve how I needed with a lessened amount of stress from the divorce. Kathryn has an immense amount of experience and because I trusted her with my case, I can rest knowing my children and I have a decree without any legal loopholes - she literally covered it all to ensure the safety and welfare of my family. If there is any doubt - take this review as your sign: you NEED Kathryn Pruitt and the Pruitt Law Group in your corner.

Best of the best! Don’t mess!!

Kathryn is a “Pit bull” and that’s a compliment! She is well respected In her community. I’m super happy that I was referred to her! She is loyal & fair. Doesn’t have time for games from Opposing counsel. She gets what is needed to get done and is very honest about time and effort. She has your best... interest at heart 100% of the time. She has a phenomenal support team too!! You will be in great hands with her and I would not want to go up against her. I couldn’t be happier with the results that she produced!

Tough as nails with a heart of gold!

Kathryn represented me in what I thought would be any easy divorce. It turned out to be anything but easy and Kathryn was a rockstar throughout. She’s tough as nails with a heart of gold. If you’re considering filing for divorce, hire Kathryn and listen to her advice! I didn’t a few times and reg...retted it. When going through a divorce, a person is thinking with too many emotions intertwined. She’s the one with the clear head and experience. Just do what she advises. I’d hire her again in a heartbeat if I had to do it all over!

Strong Pragmatic Attorney

Kathryn was a strong advocate for me during this very difficult process. She did her research on the lawsuit claim(s), the other attorney and the presiding judge. The result was a fair decision that did not require excessive fees.

Excellent Lawyer

I hired Ms. Pruitt for my contentious divorce due to her excellent reputation. She most certainly lived up to and exceeded my expectations. Ms. Pruitt is very detail oriented and hard-working which I observed when she presented-and won-my case for an extension in court. Throughout the entire 2 years ...leading up to my divorce, Ms. Pruitt provided continuous empathetic support and sound legal advice. Before and during the mediation, she walked me through every step. I referred her to another close friend of mine going through an equally difficult divorce who was also happy with her outcome and would continue to recommend her to anyone in similar circumstances.
