"My case had been dragging along for over a year! Kandi came in and got it dismissed in less than a month! I am extremely grateful and highly recommend her to anyone wanting to hire her. Very professional and explained everything in a way that I could understand. Thank you again!"

"Kandi is an absolute pit bull in the courtroom, but outside of it she is very personable and an absolute pleasure to talk to. She is very caring and kind, which is a breath of fresh air when you are so stressed about everything…Right off the bat, she gives you her personal cell number, and she always responds in a timely manner…I had a lot of things going against me, and I did not think she had a lot of ground to stand on in defending me. Kandi explained everything and said she would fight for me regardless of the evidence presented to her. When it was all said and done, I was honestly shocked by the results she got for me! I received some probation, but all of my charges were dropped, and I was found not guilty! I didn't think that was a possibility, so when she told me, I was literally speechless. Kandi's fees for the amount of work she puts in for you are extremely fair, and I guarantee you won't find a harder-working attorney out there, most charge almost double what she does. Kandi, if you're reading this, I just want to thank you so, so much for everything you did for me!"

"A family member needed an attorney. We found reviews for this one were amazing, so we took a chance. We chose Kandi Gilder as our family’s attorney, and she came through better than I could have even imagined. The case was dismissed completely in LESS THAN A MONTH! And I was told that on the day of court, she not only ended up being so popular that about a quarter of the alleged “criminals” had her as their attorney that day, but you’d never guess that by the effort she puts into each and every case. She may be a busy and successful woman, but she will treat you like your case is her only case, while that’s far from true. Couldn’t be more pleased at the results! I can’t say enough good things about her."

"Great communication with Kandi

Very patient. Very pleasant to talk too. Made me feel she was working to get me the best deal."

"Kandi is by far the BESTTTT attorney I have encountered!! Not only does her work speak for itself she makes you FEEL and KNOW she is fighting for you!! Personality 100/10 she makes you so comfortable and you instantly get a feeling of “this person has me” HIRE HER !!! She will forever stay in my contacts."

"I don't have enough words to express how AMAZING Kandi Gilder was representing/fighting for me during the most stressful time in my life. The thing is she is so genuine and dedicated.'

"Kandi Gilder provided exceptional legal representation! From start to finish, she demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and a genuine care for my case. Kandi worked long hours and even answered questions and concerns after hours. I would describe Kandi as a "Courtroom Bully" that doesn't take no for an answer. From the beginning, she told me what she wanted and did not stop until it was received. I am thoroughly satisfied with her work and would highly recommend her to anyone in need of legal assistance. Thank you again Kandi for your outstanding support through this trying time of making this process easier for me."
