We are happy with the result!

Kathleen was able to secure a favorable outcome for our case. Things could have easily gone the other way.

Kathleen got me the best possible outcome for a low fee

Kathleen and her staff were friendly, caring and responsive. The fees were low, and she was able to get me the best result I could get for my case. She also successfully advocated for me to forgo some classes that the court was trying to have me take. 10/10

Thank you, Attorney Bryson.

From the time I contacted Attorney Bryson and her staff I was treated with kindness and respect. She listened to me and gave me the time to present my dilemma. She presented a confidence that with her highly trained skills I would get the best service. Her rates were reasonable for my complaint, and ...I felt extreme confidence in hiring her. I ended with the best outcome possible.

Excellent Attorney!

I had an excellent experience and outcome with Kathleen Bryson! She was very professional, thorough, understanding, personable, and punctual! My judicial process lasted four years, and she was there with me every step of the way! I am very thankful that I chose Kathleen to represent me!

Local Girl

Ms. Bryson took the time to give me a thorough consultation and let me know exactly what my options were going forward, and explained to me what the likelihood of minimizing the damage was right away. I found that very helpful. I feel like we wasted no time getting right down to business and getting ...the best possible result for me at the end of the day, and I would absolutely recommend her services to anybody in a pinch. She has a really proactive staff, and the bottom line seems to be actually listening to the client and coming out on top at the end of it. Her team minimized my stress and I would say that’s money well spent. I tell people I know to go to her when the occasion arises.

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.
