Excellent attorney

I hired Kathryn Pruitt for my divorce last year. She was attentive to deadlines and details, kept me informed about my case status, and helped me make the best decisions. She is connected in the area and has years of experience. I was glad I hired Kathryn and have recommended her to my friends.

Kind, compassionate representation

Divorce is very difficult. Kathryn understands the emotions involved and helps to guide you through those emotions while also carefully looking out for your legal rights. She can be a strong advocate when needed but also seeks to find common ground between the parties to allow for the best outcome fo...r all parties (particularly the kids). She educated me on the process such that I could make informed decisions and I felt well represented.

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!!
