Since my last review, Jerry and his team continued to deliver for me. If you want personalized, expert legal advice and litigation support from an experienced attorney, then look no further than Parisi Law. You get Jerry, NOT an inexperienced associate.
Jerry, Cyndi and Leah-
thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you have done for me and my family over the past few years.
It’s easy, call Parisi

My stepdaughter was involved in a car wreck and got the brute force of the impact. Jerry worked diligently on her case. Jerry and his staff treated us like family and got my stepdaughter the settlement her case was worth. I would highly recommend him and his staff. He is the best in Jefferson, Georgia.

Juli and her team were fantastic to work with throughout our adoption. They answered questions and responded to emails or calls same day. They explained every step and made sure we understood the process and even gave us pointers in a folder for after adoption. The team is great, and I would recommend them to anyone.

Juli made this complicated process very easy for us. Any questions or concerns that we had were addressed in a timely manner and she always made herself available. She even brought all the necessary paperwork to us...we never had to leave our house. She was a blessing to us and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.

I retained Mr. Lewellen to represent me on a disability case, and am so thankful I did. I cannot stress how professional, patient, kind, and fair he was throughout the process. I would not hesitate to use his services in the future, and wound certainly refer anyone in need of legal services to him.

After attempting to get awarded disability from Social Security for over 18 months on my own, filling out many multiple page filing documents, while dealing with the effects of cancer and the many side effects of Radiation and Chemo Therapy. Failing repeatedly, I contacted Mr. Lewellen. After approx. 5 months, Mr. Lewellen managed to get it done. I am eternally grateful.

We recently moved here from Wisconsin.
I was waiting on an appeal from Wisconsin along with my Wisconsin attorney.
The decision came in stating my case go back to the Administrative Judge here in Georgia.
My Wisconsin lawyer decided he did not wish to proceed here with my case and dismissed himself after almost 4 years. I was shocked. What to do now?
I started making phone calls for SSD Attorneys here explaining my case.
Not knowing many people let alone any attorney's here, it was a hard find.
I contacted attorney's via a Google search.
I met with a few, but was either told they did not feel my case was winnable or I just flat out did not like them.
Then I met Leonard.
I spent about 2 hours in his office in our 1st meeting.
He was very likable and knowledgeable.
My new hearing was coming up soon and I needed a lawyer, but I was not going to settle for anyone.
My future was hanging in the balance.
Leonard made me feel welcome and explained to me that this was not going to be easy and we had our work cut out for both of us.
His honesty and truthfulness helped with my decision.
I felt comfortable and hired Leonard.
Many meetings later and tons of paperwork coming in from Wisconsin, our hearing date was set.
It may have been a bit overwhelming for Leonard, but he never complained.
Always reminding me, this is going to be difficult Joe. I liked that about him.
He always gave me a feeling that he knew more then he was letting onto.
Me, I was helping with getting things ordered from Wisconsin and we both settled in for a long hearing.
I was hopeful having all our paper work in order as well as all the doctors notes.
With Leonard beside me, I knew we had a good case. A winnable case!
Long story short, We Won That Hearing!
We won that hearing on Jan 15,2015.
Leonard never gave up, nor did I.
To Leonard, should you read this,
Thank you sir.
To anyone reading this review, should you ever need an attorney who will fight for you, give this man a chance.
He will not disappoint you.

We were told to hire Nick by several friends who had used him in the past. We were also told that he was the best and they had given him a great recommendation. We had our consultation with Nick and felt very comfortable moving forward.
Within a week or two of hiring Nick another situation arose and without Nick and his help a long amount of time would have been spent in jail. This time was reduce to a small small fraction of what it could have been.
We then moved on to the trail and this is where Nick truly shined. He did his very best for us and the outcome showed. He out maneuvered the prosecution in almost every way. Nick is a very talented lawyer and we were very lucky to have him on our side.
While dealing with legal issues is a very stressful time and can bring you to your wits end. Nick was very compassionate, understanding and patient. We put Nick through the ringer with some very strong disagreements and loud arguments. He never devalued our views but stuck to what he knew and how he could help. Luckily he helped us work through these obstacles and we could not be happier he did.
In the end Nick was everything I think you would need in a lawyer. We have never had to hire a lawyer before this and now if we were to ever need another lawyer we would never hire anyone else!!!
Nick thanks for all your hard work!!!!

Nick Primm represented me in front of OSAH (Office of State Administration Hearing) where I appealed a decision made against me by the Georgia Department of Family and Children Services (DFCS). Nick was professional, honest in his assessments, responsive to my questions and concerns, and charged me reasonably for his services. The outcome of my case was positive. I would not hesitate to hire Nick again if needed. I felt confident in his abilities and very satisfied with his approach.

After I consulted with multiple Attorneys, I knew when I walked into Nick's office that he was the Attorney that I wanted him to represent me. He went above and beyond my expectations. Nick is very compassionate, understanding, and supportive. He explained every step that we took in depth. He made a very difficult divorce a little less painful. I knew that my child and I were in good hands and would get what we need. Nick was always honest with me about what my expectations should be. In the end Nick's hard work provided us with a positive settlement. I have already and will continue to recommend Nick to anyone who is in need of an Attorney. Nick is the way to go!

This is our second Bankruptcy in our lifetime. The differences between the 2 attorneys are like night and day.
We weren't kept in the loop with the first attorney nor did we get answers to our questions. Shelley has gone over and above my expectations for this bankruptcy. It has been a breathe of fresh air and I highly recommend her if you are in the market for a bankruptcy lawyer.

**Outstanding Divorce Lawyer - Highly Recommend!**
I cannot express how grateful I am for the exceptional service provided by Gabe and Danielle during my divorce. From the moment I first consulted with him, I knew I was in good hands. Gabe is incredibly knowledgeable, compassionate, and always took the time to explain each step of the process, making sure I understood my rights and options.
What truly sets Gabe apart is his ability to remain calm and collected, even during the most challenging moments. He fought hard for a fair outcome while maintaining a level of professionalism and integrity that gave me complete confidence in his abilities. He was always responsive, kept me updated, and made me feel supported throughout the entire process.
If you’re looking for a lawyer who will genuinely care about your case, listen to your needs, and work tirelessly for the best result, Gabe Bradford is the person to call. I highly recommend him to anyone going through a difficult divorce!

If you are looking for someone to send you other people’s docs, more than likely yours to others as well. File the wrong docs in your case. Take a year and never get an “Emergancy” hearing brought before the court. Be disingenuous, worry about protecting the relationships with fellow attorneys(almost certainly donors in his political endeavors) over putting them in the hot seat for not following protocols. Perhaps if you’re bored and want to review all discovery documents for discrepancies or build his “mud” sheet for him..among many many other things…!This might be your guy! While as a man in the family court system of the piedmont district, especially Jackson county, you would be very hard pressed to find a decent attorney. This is not your guy! He has the egotistical bravado of a salesmen, but like most people can’t deliver when it’s time too. Say anything to get you to sign the contract but his lack of action and mistakes afterwards will cost you valuable time with your children and money. He does not work for people, he works for Gabriel. When confronted about it he will flake out. LOOK ELSEWHERE FOR REPRESENTATION!!
My name is Brian Parrett, I am easy to find on social media and one of my emails is my screen name here at yahoo. I will gladly forward all communications and documents to anyone who asks for reference on this matter. Good luck to anyone looking for an attorney in our current environment!

Rob handled my divorce a few years ago as well as a recent child custody modification. He was prompt, professional, and gave me great advice. Even between cases, Rob graciously answered any questions I had. Each time, we were able to settle out of court which saved me money while still coming to acceptable compromises. He helped make very stressful times easier.

Rob handled my divorce and custody case very effectively. He explained the process to me so that I would have an idea of what steps would be taken and what I should expect, but also prepared me so that I wasn't blindsided when something unplanned happened. Fees were discussed upfront, as were timeframes that were in our control. Rob was very helpful when I needed to make decisions because he could advise me using examples of precedent cases that were similar to my situation but he also listened to all the details in my case to be sure I was represented fairly. I would recommend him highly as legal counsel!!

Rob has represented me in several matters. I always felt his advice was given in my best interest even when it was not what I was hoping to hear. He helped negotiate a divorce settlement for me that I was comfortable with and probably was the most favorable I could have hoped for.
During the last several years I have consulted with him regarding custody issues. He helped me to set realistic expectations of the possible issues. Recently, Rob helped me with custody and child support to an outcome that was very successful. He was very good at communicating with me throughout the process. I've always felt the service I received were timely and fairly priced. I am comfortable using Rob as my Attorney.

In law, you get what you paid for, and you really don't get much from him. At best, he stretches himself thin with too many clients, and to his credit, he does provide legal services to those without much in the way of means. In any case, however, he's generally unresponsive to emails and phone calls, with delays taking nearly a week in some cases. He's slow to move when he does have to, with the other party's lawyer always being faster to get every document sent to me. He's sloppy, as I discovered when I had to proofread his own legal documents for him.
Perhaps his biggest flaw is probably his defeatist attitude, seeming to give up before the battle has even begun. He has never made me feel hopeful for my juvenile case's outcome, and I shouldn't feel like I hired him to hold my hand while the case goes as poorly as possible.
At best, he's cheap, and he'll at least help you in working through the legal wrangling that comes with going through a divorce and contested custody battle. For your own good, however, if you can afford anyone else, hire them instead.

They get a one because I could go no lower. Beth Johnston, who works at Weinstein and Black in Jefferson GA, took everything we had while promising to take our case to trial. The first time she wanted to settle. We told her no, but she pushed it through anyway. Following that, when court was scheduled once again, she insisted on mediation. She had demanded another several thousand dollars in advance above our initial bill which was already several thousand paid in advance. Once it was paid in full, she went to mediation and informed us that we needed to take the agreement or give her $10,000 more in order to take it to trial. So here we are, worse off than we were more than a year ago, out over $10,000, and we got nothing we asked for while he got everything. AND our entire retirement savings is gone. (I’m 67). She wouldn’t respond to either calls or texts, and was constantly talking about needing us to give her more money. Is this who you want to represent you? Filing with the Ga Bar Association.
