Will fight for you!

I had hired a different attorney to initially help me with a very difficult divorce and custody situation. I wish I had gone straight to Kathryn. It would have saved me lots of time, stress and money in the end. She fought for me and my child as if we were her own & reassured me every step of the way... that we were in good hands. She got us everything we wanted and more. I highly recommend Kathryn to anyone in need of a family law attorney!

Highest Recommendation - Professional, Honest and Efficient

Kathryn is professional, honest, efficient and acted as clear eyes for me during the most emotionally charged and challenging time of my life. Kathryn helped me to focus on the most important things – not just things that seemed important at that moment, but things that would impact my life and the ...lives of my children for years to come. It was also quite apparent to me that Kathryn is very well respected within the family law legal community – which is a testament to her years of service and dedication to those that find themselves faced with this type of legal need.

Highly Professional

Kathryn was my lawyer for my divorce. She and her team are great and were always extremely professional. I knew nothing about Family Law and she took the time to explain everything to me and made sure I completely understood. I tend to ask a lot of questions and she never made me feel as if I was ask...ing a dumb question. My marriage was short so I knew she had bigger cases, but she always made me feel like I mattered and was much more than just another client!

Excellent Family Law Attorney - Professional, Knowledgeable, Honest

Kathryn Pruitt is wonderful, professional, helpful and cares. I previously sought her services to represent me in my divorce. During this unfortunate time of stress/turmoil, she helped ease my anxiety about my case. She was very gracious and patient with my many questions, as well as, very respons...ive to phone calls, e-mails and conference scheduling. She’s a well-versed Family Law attorney, communicates effectively, and is focused and determined in her pursuit for a most favorable outcome. I highly recommend Kathryn Pruitt!!
