I had a complicated and high-conflict divorce. Kathryn and Elishia worked tirelessly to represent me. While Kathryn is incredibly knowledgable and professional, her real superpower lies in her extensive network of expert colleagues. On the rare occasions that she didn't know something outside of her skill-set, she never guessed or ignored details; she knew an expert in the field who could quickly and accurately analyze the situation, saving me money and avoiding potential complications in the future. I couldn't recommend them more highly; do yourself a favor and go with the best around!

Kathryn is amazing. She was engaged from the second I hired her. I am pretty sure she doesn't sleep, always avaliable when you need her, even at 11pm crisis time. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to be a torn in the side of their ex. I own 2 business and when I pay top dollar for something my expectation is top dollar quality. Kathryn Pruitt is exactly that, if your looking for the best money can buy she is it. Kathryn thank you for everything. Hopefully I am not back but will be returning if needed.

I hope no one finds themselves in need of a great family law attorney, but if you do, the only firm I recommend is Pruitt Law Group. Kathryn Pruitt and her incredible team exceed excellence. Their care of my case, amazing recall of details, the progress despite court delays, and the sound advice given to me was beyond my expectations. I appreciated the research for my unique circumstances, and the balance of empathy and honesty on how best to approach my options. This firm gave me hope and now I have my life back! They did it with integrity and respect for the law with results! No matter the outcome

I was referred to Kathryn and her team via some mutual connections. From the very beginning she and her team were on top of everything. They were very professional at all levels of the legal process and were also very insightful in helping me through this time on both a personal and professional level.
Kathryn has many years of experience working in Collin county so I truly know that she was the difference in helping me to keep custody of my daughter. She also went above and beyond to help in any way she felt she could.
If you’re in need of help look no further than Kathryn and her team.

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 regretted 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!

Kathryn represented me in one the most difficult single parent custody battles a father can undergo. Her professionalism and drive has afforded me the opportunity to be the man and father that I knew I was called to be; furthermore most court systems are not willing to consider such fair rights for a father of an infant. I would not only recommend Kathryn I would only use Kathryn for any family law suit. She manages her clients most emotional phase of life with truest of character.

When you go into a divorce, there are so many unknown factors...I didn’t know where to start but I knew what my gut was telling me. I was referred to Kathryn and her team by a colleague and looking back now, hiring her as my attorney was the single best decision I’ve made for my future. In a highly contentious divorce, she and her team anticipated the unknown and prepared me to advocate for both my own and my children’s welfare. Even through the Covid shutdown, Kathryn and her team worked diligently to keep my case open and moving. Anytime there was communication from my children’s father
