Sharline knows her stuff inside out. Explained everything to us crystal clear and guided us through the very detailed process of setting up a trust. Ten stars if I could give them. Thank you so much for everything! Can’t recommend Ms Green high enough.

My husband and I completed our complimentary consultation with attorney Green and was very pleased with our meeting. She was thorough and well versed in the formulation of a trust. I also loved that she has flexible payment options. Representation is very important to us, so to find someone local, knowledgeable, and also a part of my community who can understand our very unique challenges with wealth preservation has been a dream come true!! I am excited to get our plan started.

You'd be better off hiring Barney fife, Stay away from this guy he does absolutely nothing a public defender couldn't do, Save your money and time he's a great disappointment as a public defender, I was accosted by a young man in a violent manner which is assault and when I physically took him down was charged with battery and Mr. Todd told me since the young man didn’t have his hands up That he Todd and the Assistant DA decided that I committed battery since I have military experience and could have subdued the young man or yelled out I needed help from the security guard sitting at the desk

Wonderful experience! Mr Nation is very invested in his clients. Kind, great listener, poignant adviser. I couldn't have had better representation if I wanted to! If you are searching for legal counsel who is right there with you on your frequency, I cannot speak to the additional attorneys at this firm as we had no interaction, however, I can speak for Michael Nation. He's awesome!

Attorney Russel Moore is awesome! He is the exception to what’s out there. He is responsive. I guarantee you if you leave a message, he will call you back. He is honest. If he can provide his service, he will. If he can’t, he will tell you. His price is reasonable. He treats you as a person and takes your case seriously. He is mild mannered and very patient. He went above and beyond with me. I still call him for legal advice and will use his services again. Thanks Attorney Russel for who you are and giving us hope that there are still some decent attorneys out there. God bless you!

Worked with them a few years ago and had a really pleasant experience. Decided to reach out to them to update a grant deed and it was a totally different story. Emailed and called with questions but had a hard time getting someone to respond to me. Today, I called to follow up on an email I sent 2 weeks ago and the lady who answered the phone was extremely rude, continued to cut me off- I even asked her why she was so rude and explained that I don’t work in the industry and needed clarification. Nonetheless- I’ve actually used them twice in the past and will never do business with them again.

Review Title: Lack of Commitment and Care in My Custody Case
I had a deeply disappointing experience with Melinda Johnson at Johnson Law Firm located Conyers. Ga. I hired her to help me secure custody of my daughter, a case that was extremely important to me and my child’s future. Unfortunately, Atty Johnson showed little concern, effort, or urgency in handling it.
Communication was terrible—I had to constantly follow up for updates, and when I did receive responses, they were vague and unhelpful, right before the court date. Instead of providing strong legal guidance, I felt like my case was an afterthought i.e. such as missed deadlines, lack of court preparation, or failure to present strong arguments.
What upset me the most was the complete lack of empathy and dedication toward ensuring the best outcome for my daughter. Many conversations materialized into a condescending and accusatory meeting with me. It became so apparent of her thoughts, that one day I had to ask her “Do you even Like me”. Her reply was, “Well sometimes you come off as Angry”. As a black man today’s climate, her response was very alarming”. As a lawyer, not being able to distinguish the difference between someone being anger vs. Someone being passionate about the wellbeing of their child is beyond my comprehension. The lack of cultural sensitivity is also an issue with this firm.
Custody cases are not just legal battles; they shape a child's future. I expected my lawyer to fight for me and my child, but instead, I felt ignored and unsupported throughout the entire process.
I would not recommend Melinda Johnson of the Johnson Law Firm to anyone seeking a lawyer who truly cares about their clients and their families. If you need an attorney who will be proactive, responsive, and genuinely invested in your case, I suggest looking elsewhere.

This is the most unethical attorney, she don't call you back. She tell you she handling thing and you research it and its not done. She took vacation twice in just about a month. Left my 6 year old twins case hanging. Had to hire another attorney because of her incompetence. Now, filing a formal grievance with the Georgia Bar Association to get my thousands of dollars back. I'm retired law enforcement 26 years and never has i experience such ethical conduct from an attorney. Keep your money. You can contact me if you like because I'm going to fight legally until she give me my money back. Please complete a grievance form and report her.

Mr. Pake was court appointed and I was really worried that he was not working on my side at first. Getting near the trial date I have to say he was on point. We went to trial and we won! I definitely recommend him in any case. So much in fact that I am going to retain his services as a new trial comes up for me.

To my surprise, I received a subpoena in my PO box to produce records from this law group. I called to inquire and was met with a rude secretary and an even ruder attorney. Bethany Lavigno was extremely condescending when I asked for instructions and clarity on the information she needed. She even threatened me with jail time if I failed to comply. I'm no criminal and her attitude was horrible. I would never recommend her law firm based on the interaction I had with them.

Likes to talk over you to show you that he has a short fuse over the phone. I can almost guarantee this wise guy would not use that disrespectful tone in person with a man. I can guess that's why he does not like walk in consults because of his bad attitude. ACTS LIKE A SPOILED BRAT. BAD for business BUYER BEWARE!!!!! Came off very prejudiced and with no diversity training whatsoever with customers. I PAID MONEY TO YOUR GUY UNDER YOUR ADVICE!!!! I HAVE THE RECEIPTS AND PROOF. DONT GET MAD AT ME BECAUSE YOU DONT WANNA DO THE WORK! JUST SAY YOU ARE NOT EQUIPPED FOR THE JOB AND JUST RETIRE ALREADY. YOU SEEM LIKE YOU HATE YOUR JOB!

I received a call from Mr. Lee in response to my email request for legal advice in a very timely manner. He took the time to answer all my questions and I was 100% certain of my options moving forward concerning my legal issue. Depending on how my situation transpires, I intend on using Mr. Lee for legal representation if needed.

I hired Mr. Moore to represent me. At the start, I was a little concerned that he wanted payment so fast (like right now). Mr. Moore needed to meet for payment, astoundingly fast. I simply do not know why, since after payment, I experienced a never ending waiting game.
My communications from Mr. Moore were very negative after payment. I felt like he was either just miserable, or that this attorney just really hated me. Either way, I could see he was not representing me well. Mr. Moore never had a grasp on my case, he would not listen and did not ask questions, he could not have cared less about me, or the case.
Moreover, I could tell his presence in the courtroom was not serving me well. I felt like the prosecutor could smell blood in the waters. To say I felt defenseless is an understatement.
Mr. Moore was not concerned with my side of the story, and he seemed to be on the other team. My family, my wife, and a several defense witnesses met Mr. Moore in person or by phone, and every single one came back to me, and said, man - are you sure you want that guy representing you, he seems like a guilty verdict waiting to happen. He so dry, non-motivated, and flat out lazy, quietly I knew these comments reflected my own thoughts of Mr. Moore.
As my concern about Mr. Moore's ability to represent me grew, I finally rejected his request for more money, especially since I was due to pay the final 20% at trial, and he was demanding 40% more.
So Mr. Garland "Gary" Moore, had attempted to over-charge, but I did not allow it. He also shared crucial information about the case with a potential defense witness, of which I felt was in violation of attorney-client privilege, but also I simply had lost any faith I had in this attorney. I sometimes wondered if the bigger mistake was hiring Gary Moore, or the charges I received in the first place.
So with my nightmare of an attorney in tow - I agreed to release Gary Moore as my attorney, in open court, six days prior to my jury trial. I mean, i just figured I was toast. I hired a very bad attorney, and now it was time to pay the piper. Yes, Mr. Moore was that very, very bad. I do not how else to describe him, except for one extremely expensive mistake.
Luckily, our criminal justice system swung in to action, I was able to hire another attorney. And wow, complete dismissal of everything. So much of my life, my time, my money was wasted on this lawyer. I noticed his bad reviews on Avvo are being deleted, so I have no idea whats up with that, but I have no immediate plans to delete this review. If you are in a jam, you deserve to know what you are getting in to with Mr. Moore, and its not good. You flat-out deserve to know.
With that said, I am a firm believer in our justice system, but you have your own responsibility to recognize and overcome flaws. When you show for court, you need to have a strong presence, you need show the courts that you are professional and respectful, and if your intentions are to fight the charges, you had better do your homework. In my case, I was 100% prepared for a battle in front of a jury, and in my opinion, Mr. Moore was not going to fight my case in front of a jury. He barely showed for court, much less. Lethargic is how I would describe Mr. Moore.
After I released Mr. Moore six days prior to scheduled jury trial, and I hired a real defense attorney, Mr. Moore refused to send over my file to new council, he refused to send me a bill or invoice, and he even seemed to be threatening me, in so many words. I considered filing a complaint with the law board, but i have already lost so much with Mr. Moore, I am moving on. Maybe you can read this, and I can save someone else the humility.
Others can do as they please, but I hired and dealt with Mr. Moore. And i am telling it now, that I would absolutely roll the dice and represent myself at a trial, before I let Mr. Moore anywhere near my case.
Best of luck to you!

If you are looking for an attorney to be your best buddy you may want to look elsewhere, however, If you are looking for knowledge, expertise and action, I have yet to meet a better Criminal Attorney. I worked alongside Gary for many years, I was always amazed at the results of the criminal cases he handled. When the need arose for a criminal attorney for my own family member, I didn't hesitate to hire him, and we were more than pleased with the outcome.

Initially Melinda Johnson seemed nice enough, but after being a customer for almost two months I can say that she is the most inept attorney I've ever dealt with. Admittedly I don't have much experience with attorneys in Georgia, so maybe this is the way they operate here, but I've dealt with several in other states and the way she treats clients would be inexcusable anywhere else. I have proof of numerous unanswered text messages I've sent her, and I can't even count the times she told me that she would call me and has only done so one time. She was very communicative before receiving a deposit (go figure). I can't speak for anyone else at that office, but judging by my experience with Melinda, I would advise anyone to stay far away and spend your money someplace else. Forgot to mention another thing, the office doesn't even have a number you can reach a live person, despite having two old women working at the front desk (who are very nice by the way), which should be inexcusable for a (supposedly) reputable firm and a huge red flag in itself. I wish I would have read the reviews before hiring her, the amount of people unhappy with her is very alarming and makes you wonder how is this law group even able to acquire new clients at his point. I guess anyone who hires them must have skipped doing their research first, as have I.

After speaking with Weldon on the phone, he appeared to be nice and knowledgeable. However, after several meetings, he became condescending, and down right rude. He does not like to be questioned. Without going into specifics, I provided knowledge in an area he said he was familiar with, only to realize trouble was on the horizon because he was not familiar with it at all. As the case came close to an end, there was no communications, no support, he did not tell me what to expect, or do. Totally disappointed. I would not recommend him to anyone, not even for my puppy. Don’t be so quick to believe what he tell you. Do your research before paying your retainer.

was very interested in making sure that my case was handled and settled properly. Very attentive to me when I was in the office by making sure that he addressed my concerns. He always returned my calls in a timely manner. He and his staff was very professional. I am SOOOOO glad I chose him to represent me. Even when the opposing side was trying to stick it to me and deny me what I was legally entitled to, he remained steadfast and handled my business. I would go to him again and recommend anyone who is looking for an honest, knowledgeable and Christian attorney to choose him.

Paul Oeland has been amazing during my divorce. His knowledge and professionalism are unmatched. He and his staff have been helpful and attentive throughout this difficult time and have been very patient with my many questions. What has impressed me most has been his willingness to listen to my thoughts and ideas for our settlement. My ex-husband and I wanted to handle things in an unconventional manner and Paul has worked tirelessly toward that end while ensuring my interests were protected. With his expert guidance, we were able to come to a resolution quickly. I highly recommend Paul Oeland and the staff of Lamalva, Geoffroy, and Oeland. Simply the best!

Paul never returns phone calls and did nothing during my divorce except let it takes its course. I have several friends that have used him with the exact same issues. I would have probably been better off printing the paperwork off the internet and doing it myself. He is pompous and doesn't care about individual cases.
