Her expertise and strategic approach led to some charges being dismissed, and in other instances, ensured I received the lowest possible sentence.

"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."
