She has been through my very long and drawn out case from the very beginning. She is hard working and she truly cares about her clients and the outcome. She's down to earth and she tells you how it is! I would 100% recommend her for any family law issues!

After spending close to $16,000. With no help or answers from her. Acted like she just gave up on my case. No good communication.

As a father of 3 I never thought I'd have a chance at primary custody of my younger two children. Katherine fought for me and showed me exactly what a devoted attorney will do for you. I highly recommend her. I now have primary custody of my children and I will not think twice at recommending her to anyone that needs a wonderful attorney.

I have been involved in a civil family law case for the better part of three years. My wife and I separated and divorced but there has been one issue after another. I was represented during a modification but it was poor representation and unfortunantley I did not understand what I really signed. Fast forward to the case moving to Carteret county and another action filed. I needed an attorney and I CANNOT be more thankful that Buzzy Stubbs office sent me to Katherine. She was very professional and thorough. I live over 230 miles away from Beaufort so the initial contact was a phone consult. Immediately I was pleased I paid the two hour consult charge. Katherine had already reviewed material and had several options that she felt would help. The case ended up going to hearing. Katherine stayed in constant contact, she kept me well informed and even with the obstacle of distance she told me exactly what she needed to prepare. I never felt unprepared and for the first time in three years I had no doubt I had an advocate that was going to do all they could for me. Needless to say the day of the hearing nobody in the courtroom was ready including me! Katherine's prowess as an attorney is unparalleled. Over two months of phone calls and emails I came to know an intelligent, honest, compassionate person. This day, the day of the hearing her aggressiveness really shown during the cross. I had witnesses there ready to testify on my behalf and we all talk about Katherine's skill in the courtroom to this day. I believe there is an earlier review that states all she knows how to do is WIN!!....I can't state it any better! Call her and set up a consult. I have no doubt you will hire her afterwards and you will not regret it!

We used Katherine based on the reviews on the internet. BIG MISTAKE! We paid the $5000 retainer. She was more interested in working with the baby’s father’s attorney. When we worked out a decent visitation schedule, Katherine was contacted and asked to make the custody/visitation agreement permanent. More than a year later, she left the law firm she was with and NOTHING was done to make the agreement permanent. I don’t feel she did her best for our case. She charged us for everything and we still only have a “temporary” agreement. I cannot recommend her in good conscience.

Katherine represented me in my divorce/custody case I could not be more pleased with her zealous legal representation. I never felt like she had anything less than my best interests at heart -- she fought for me as though she were fighting her own custody battle and that cannot be said about every attorney.

All Katherine Knows How to Do is WIN!!!
Katherine is intelligent, resilient and intensely dedicated to her job. Very engaged, devoted and creative which enables Katherine the ability to strategically plan and execute in yours or your child's best interest.
I am a FATHER on ACTIVE DUTY with FULL Physical Custody of my little girl.
Katherine is by far the BEST Lawyer in New Bern and possibly the entire state of NC.
After my consult with Katherine I hired her the next day.

Katherine has been amazing through my process to protect my child from her other parent who suffers from addiction. Katherine is always kind and wholesome, while using every avenue the law allows to protect us. Thank you Katherine!

Katherine Fountain is an EXCELLENT lawyer. She went above and beyond working typical office hours on this matter and provided outstanding legal advice and representation. She is an aggressive lawyer, that doesn't back down. I highly recommend her if you are seeking a Lawyer! I had been told by many attorneys that my case would be very challenging and long due to the issues. Katherine made my tough custody case look easy.
Her paralegal, Karen Stilley was amazing to work with and on top of many issues that would have been easy to overlook. Her courtroom notes, support and explanation of what was going on and what to expect made court almost a pleasurable event.
I was not treated like just a number or paycheck, Katherine and Karen were totally invested: they cared about me and my case! As a team they have literally saved a life!

Kathrine fountain is by far the best attorney that I have ever encountered. She is extremely educated, honest, determined, aggressive, compassionate and informative. She is not good at just one thing, but uncommonly well rounded in everything. Kathrine makes time for her clients. Between personal emails, phone calls, and face to face meetings, she truly shows that she cares about what you are going through. Katherine knows the legal system and is strictly punctual in all that she does. Due to my specific situation Katherine was personally working on my case during the weekend and was in contact with me through the entire process. She does not hesitate to get done what needs to be done when it needs to be done. I am completely confident that Katherine fountain is unquestionably the number one attorney in Craven County, and will do everything in her power to ensure that you are satisfied with the outcome of your situation. I enthusiastically recommend Katherine fountain for the legal representation of any person that wants to win their case.

Ok this is a real review I had what was suppose to be the best lawyer around. That told me in my case I could not get custody of my daughter that I needed more evidence. I attained the evidence request by that lawyer an she said it still wasn't good enough plus I could never get ahold of her. I was recommended to mrs Katherine she was very honest respectful took personal interest in my case and it showed! She was very easy to communicate with and words cannot describe how thankful I am that I had her representing me I am a active duty father with custody of my daughter! And with the same evidence I provided the other lawyer.

I hired Ms. Forrest in a divorce case. She is definitely head and shoulders above her competitors. I felt really confirmable talking about my case with her. She put a lot of time in my case and when we went to court for a check dispute it was easily settled within an hour or so. She is definitely very trustworthy, and her billing was fair. She always responded to e-mails and kept me informed on how the case was progressing. She is very aggressive and knowledgeable about family law! I would without a doubt recommend her to family and friends!
