Local Knowledge

Home > Local Knowledge

Forrest Family Law’s office is in New Bern, North Carolina, and Katherine and her staff live in town as well.  Katherine’s daughter goes to school in Craven County. Katherine and her staff work in the Carteret and Craven County Courthouses every week. She knows the judges and her opposing attorneys well. These may seem to be trivial points, but LOCAL KNOWLEDGE is critical in wining your case. Here’s why:

Carteret and Craven County Courts do not have “Family Court Jurisdiction.” In Family Court Jurisdiction, a specific judge would be assigned to a Family Law case. In Carteret and Craven, they are not. Katherine and her team have worked with the judges for years. This is a key component of a winning strategy.

Think about it this way, a winning sports team knows their opponent in and out. They’ve watched video after video of them playing. They send scouts out for reports on their competition. They’ve seen them play on game day. It’s the same for your attorney. Their knowledge about their fellow local attorneys and judges is crucial to your case being won.

What Our Clients Have To Say

Katherine Forrest 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.
LauraHavelock
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.
CraigNew Bern
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.
