There are not enough words to express how wonderful my family's experience was with Mahaffey Pickens Tucker, LLP.
Attorney Pickens is a brilliant lawyer. He does an amazing job with communicating sensitive information and with updating clients about next steps and processes.
Attorney Kelly is also fantastic. She is super compassionate and willing to do whatever it takes to ensure her clients feel seen and heard.
We are forever indebted to the both of them.

Don’t use her. I did all the discovery myself and then she charged me for it. She did absolutely nothing to help my case. She was rude and obnoxious. She jacked up my bill every chance she could get.

She was highly recommended by a friend of mine. Making the decision about a divorce is hard. I did not realize how difficult it would be just to get a return call to schedule an appointment. I tried for 1 1/2 weeks. 3 calls. She was always busy and never had the professional courtesy of having anyone call me back to schedule an appointment or even tell me she was too busy to take me on. All I ask is for the courtesy of a call back. Have times changed so that it is too much to ask for a call back?

I was highly recommended by a friend who had used Judy King for his divorce and he was very happy with the end result.
I am a survivor of domestic abuse. He abandoned me and walked away from all responsibilities, leaving me with all the debt and no income. I tried several time to get a divorce on my own, filing with the Court but then he fled the State and went into hiding. I was hoping not to use an Attorney so that we both could go on with our lives without heartache and costs.
I was served divorce papers this April, 2016. I was extremely excited when the Police Officer delivered them thinking he had come to his senses and we could do a non-contested divorce. I was wrong. He still had his narcissistic personality and was out to get me.
My friend told me to call Judy King. As soon as I had my first consultation meeting with Judy, I knew she was the one for me. Judy got right to the point and explained all that was involved. Judy is a no-nonsense, go-getter who only deals with the facts and I immediately felt a sigh of relief. Judy and her assistant/paralegal Kristen are a great team. They walked me through the process of getting all the paperwork done and were very patient and understanding of my emotional state. Judy is extremely knowledgeable and knew exactly how to handle my case.
I am very thankful to have had Judy and Kristen on my team while going through such a stressful and emotional time. And, I can say now, that I am happily divorced with a most satisfactory result!!
If you are reading my review, stop looking now and call Judy King because she is the best Attorney you could hire :)

Mr. Booker did an incredible job in my case. He fought for me with great integrity and determination. I knew once we had our first conversation that he would put me in the best position possible to prove my innocence. When trial time came he kept me informed during the whole process and educated me thoroughly on everything we were to cross paths with. One of a kind man and one the best in the business

Mr. Booker defended my son who had charges in two counties. He effectively advocated for my son in both courts, rolling his probation to supervision under one county. If my son does his part, Mr. Booker will get his charges dismissed giving him a clean slate for future employment and in life. We are so grateful not only for his expertise, but also because he truly cared about my son’s wellbeing and future. He is a good listener and was a comfort to us as we navigated this foreign world. I trust him and would highly recommend him to anyone in need.

I found Adam to be quite energetic, easy to talk to and, most importantly, effective. He has apparently formed a great relationship with the solicitor's office I dealt with. My case was disposed of quickly and to my satisfaction, short of outright dismissal! He pours himself into this stuff.

My charge was cruelty to children which was a felony with an alcohol charge. Atty. Fleming was able to help reduce the charges to a misdemeanor. He also helped with a child custody issues as well as recommending his colleagues to help to get this case behind me once and for all. I really appreciate him being available whenever I called (even on Sundays.) He showed for every hearing and on time and remained positive. Thank you Attorney Fleming for your continuing support!

She is by far the best attorney i have ever had. I would definitely recommend her.

Anthony was recommended to me by a friend and for a good reason. Anthony displayed confidence from the start and was very attentive to every detail in my divorce case. His experience and advocacy was exactly what I needed in what could've become a costly and drawn out divorce proceeding. Nevertheless, if I would've had to fight; this is the attorney who I would want on my side. Highly recommend.

It was over 10 years ago, he kept me from taking a bad deal that would still effect me today when I was innocent. I found him by searching cases for hours with positive outcomes on the Court website. Was real about the overpriced lawyer I had already retained and the situation I was in. Spent several hours talking about my case with me. I had the highest rated lawyer in Gwinnett at the time and he seemed to know way more than she did. I pushed my lawyer for a continuance that I wouldn’t have done otherwise when she was saying I had to eat the charges. He’s who to go to when you really need help.

I made corrections will like to use this review please . .
You should feel like your attorney is on your side and fighting to make sure your rights are protected. When you need an attorney, the chances are good that it is a difficult time in your life, and the last thing you need is to feel like you have to fight with your legal counsel to get the representation you deserve. I end up hiring another attorney with very successful outcome with all charges dismissed.

Please take a moment to review other complaints about him online. We engaged Mr. Ney to handle a conflict of interest case. Through email, phone calls, and face-to-face meetings, he assured us that our former attorney was not entitled to any money. After providing him with $1000.00 for a case study, he returned confirming his acceptance of our case and reiterated that our ex-attorney had no claim to funds. Consequently, we ceased negotiations on a $25000 settlement with the ex-attorney. Upon receiving the remaining flat fee of $7000.00, he stopped communication. we went to his office he did not show uo. Despite assurances of a jury trial and the use of expert witnesses, none materialized – these promises proved false. Furthermore, he neglected to inform us of the hearing date, attending alone, resulting in the case being lost. As a consequence, we now find ourselves obligated to pay the ex-attorney $57000.00. Once he gets the money he is gone. I filed a complaint with Bar hoping they discipline him, then I will sue him.

William handled my divorce case . He pointed out all of my entitlements, leaving me with nothing to worry about , took all calls and responded to my email promptly. I didn’t know what to do or expect , he told me don’t worry about anything and he would make sure that I came out good. William put me in a position to come out far better than my ex - wife , whom filed on me. It was me that told William let’s cut her some slack , he said that’s completely up to you Tyrone.

This lawyer was assigned to my child's case this past year and overall I would rate him as so so. And although I think he is a decent attorney (he knew the basics), I wouldn't rate him as excellent. This is because there were details missed and important things about the case not brought up that I think should have been. Fair is the fairest rating I can give.

I recently went to attorney Ronda Leary's office because I needed a lawyer to take my case. I was greeted warmly and was walked through everything to fully understand the process. She is very knowledgeable on the subject and really helped me on my case. I 100 percent recommend attorney Ronda Leary.

I am very disappointed because after paying for a one-hour consultation in which Attorney Leary agreed to take my case, I sent the retainer money. Then I sent her the documents for the case - the same ones we went over in the one-hour consultation. She emailed me back and that result was that she changed her mind about taking the case and gave a legal reason related to liability.
I emailed her explaining why her legal conclusion was incorrect, and that if she was going to pull out of the case, she should not bill me additional hours, as the time to decide if she will take the case was during the initial paid consultation. She wrote back disagreeing, billed me 2.5 hours, and we parted ways.
When I got the bill, it had an $18.75 charge listed as "Received check, emailed client." So she charged me to open the envelope with my check, deposit it, and tell me that she got it! I have worked with many lawyers and have never been charged before to open the envelope with my check - that is normal office overhead and their own expense. Perhaps these things would be more tolerable if her rates were lower.
I now took my case to a very high-end lawyer who is worlds more confidence inspiring. He did not charge me at all for the consolation, understood the case, took the case, agreed that my previous lawyer was incorrect in her assessment of my case, and while I am paying more per hour, he is seemingly so much more skilled that I predict it will cost me much less in the end.

Mr. Harsh did an excellent job at representing my brother, he was facing double digits years if found guilty. Mr. Harsh defense strategy was impeccable, the prosecution didn't stand a chance. He got the alleged victim to tell the truth in the stand and my brother was found NG on ALL counts. He really saved my brothers life because he fought for his freedom and wasn't afraid to present his defense at trial. I'll recommend him to anyone facing criminal charges. He's fair, honest and PREPARED!

I recently had the absolute pleasure of working with Attorney Calvin David Williamson
, and I can't praise him enough for his exceptional service and dedication. In a stressful last-minute situation, I reached out to him late on a Friday night, urgently needing representation for the following Monday. Despite the incredibly short notice, he immediately made time to listen to my concerns, providing insightful feedback and instilling a level of confidence in me that no other attorney had ever achieved.
By Monday morning, he had seamlessly added himself as my attorney of record and met with me to go over the details of my case, even though we had only a few minutes to do so. His professionalism and ability to grasp the intricacies of my situation in such a limited timeframe were nothing short of impressive.
In court, his representation was outstanding. He was articulate, and I was well represented. I’m so grateful to his expertise and commitment.
If you're looking for a dedicated, competent, and reassuring attorney who can handle even the most urgent and challenging situations, I wholeheartedly recommend Attorney Calvin David Williamson
His support and skills are unmatched, and he truly goes above and beyond for his clients.

...and hired her for my divorce case. Having never experienced a divorce, I was expecting to get the metaphorical shaft based on the many divorce stories that friends of mine have been through albeit with a different attorney. Fortunately for my case, Tamela demonstrated advanced 11th dimension legal jiu jitsu arguments and tactics which far exceeded any of my expectations. I still don't know how she turned what I already thought to be a completely lost case into an overwhelming legal win. Absolutely magic and worth every dollar.
Aside from the highly unexpected "W", the only remotely frivolous thing I have to say about Tamela is that she sometimes takes 2-3 days to return my messages. Then again, I just have to reason with myself that a lawyer of her caliber very likely has many more clients besides me and the world - for better or worse - does not revolve around my life. So I remained patient, let her do her job, and could not be happier with the results.

I know you don't review a lawyer and use the title of the review as "NICE"., but she is one of the nicest people I have ever met. She makes you feel so relaxed and comfortable. I am so glad I chose her to consult with. She will go out of her way to help you in the way you choose. Other lawyers have made me feel like I am being rushed. No more will that happen to me.

When I reviewed Mrs. flukers rating on her professional conduct I was appalled. She was the biggest B.... I have ever had the displeasure of knowing. She was nothing but rude and disrespectful to me. She was not responsive to my needs or desires. She was TERRIBLE!
While I was incarcerated I had the opportunity to make inquires with other inmates with whom she had represented and thier assesment of her was no better. She has a horrible reputation around the Gwinnett County jail. I actually had to contact another lawyer for advice since I could not get any help from her. This led to her withdrawing from my case and I could not have been happier. I was able to prove my innocence less than four months after she withdrew because the lawyer that replaced her actually listened to me and acted on what I told him.
In 7 months, Mrs. Fluker only visited me one time in jail and that was her initial visit. The lawyer that replaced her visited me 8 times in less than four months. Results only come if your lawyer is actively pursuing your case. I'm not sure Mrs. Fluker ever even opened my file. I actually had to mail her my unsolicited statements about the case since what I had to say was crucial to understanding the case and she had no interest in hearing what I had to say.
I was completely innocent and it could have been easily proven if she had just tried. She didn't care, she had already convicted me and she was the one who was supposed to be defending me.
My case was completely dismissed and my record has even been expunged. All Mrs. Fluker did for me was let me rot in jail for a crime I had not committed and add tremendous stress to me on an already stressful situation. Best advice I could give anyone is to stay away from this lawyer. She is a disgrace to the lawyer profession and to the human race.

DO NOT & I mean DO NOT go to this oxymoron for help, questions, advice, updates, opinions, NOTHING! I had to give at least 1 star in order to leave a review. Google needs to give a 0 star option. He's RUDE, UNPROFESSIONAL, disrespectful & he's not there to help his clients, he's AGAINST his clients. He doesn't have any respect, bedside manners, he makes fun of his CLIENTS disabilities & he is a very unhappy & miserable individual. He had the audacity to tell me in a condescending tone "I've been practicing law for 23 years." Really? But you're a "PUBLIC DEFENDER" with a BAD RAPPORT about yourself! He was very angry, very aggressive, & very defensive. I wouldn't be bragging about how long I've been practicing law & I haven't made partner with anyone or at least had a private firm! Even other attorneys are talking about how horrible you are! You treat your CLIENTS like they don't matter & you treat them like you're not on their side either! Not EVERYONE who's case you're working on is guilty! You're not a PROSECUTOR! You're a PUBLIC DEFENDER so act accordingly! You also need to HUMBLE YOURSELF & treat your clients & their FAMILY MEMBERS with some RESPECT! We already knew before we actually contacted you (AFTER you was appointed) that you & your reviews are HORRIBLE! Even my son said you made him uncomfortable! Your energy was off & he didn't like your vibe/attitude & how you made him feel! You came there to so called "visit" him & was only with him for 1 minute & that while you was with him you was making fun of his disability! Then you insulted him & had the nerve to ask before you left did he have any questions? Which I know he wouldn't been able to ask because you don't know how to LISTEN & let anyone get anything in EDGE wise! You was very disrespectful towards me & talked to me like I was "dumb" & I'm a educated individual, so I could only imagine how you treat your clients! Also don't burn your bridges with people because as quick as you got your JD/passed the bar you can get disbarred too! Your CLIENTS is what keeps your bills paid! He (Lawrence Lewis) was too busy getting SMART about irrelevant stuff that didn't pertain to my son that he didn't realize that he was talking to me about his other client! That right there goes to show that he needs to chill out, calm down & take a deep breath before he just starts talking & running off at the mouth to people like they're a nobody! Your SERVICES is no longer needed Lawrence SMH! You lost all respect from me & my family. You don't even want to help your clients anyways. Folks go elsewhere to get legal representation for your loved ones because he's not the right choice for their case or the Judicial System.

I initially hired David Clarke to represent me and paid him a cash retainer. After several months of him not returning any of my phone calls or emails inquiring about the status of my case, I hired another attorney. I found out that my case was moved from misdemeanor to felony court (would have been nice to know) and David never even filed with the court to represent me!!!! Pretty much he stole my retainer and left me hanging out to dry. Total scum bag wouldn’t recommend him to anyone obviously he is a worthless loser attorney and takes no pride in his work and doesn’t care about his clients.

I was a client of Mr.Clarks key word was
I am currently still facing my legal matters felonies as of that , my family hired Mr.Clark hoping that he would aid in this matter. He is a very poor communicator , he did not appear in court with me as I was in custody, the only thing he was good at was getting me bailed out. He was just in it for the money and doesn't keep promises as he says oh and he might go on vacation on you once in awhile with out letting you know and also when you need immediate legal help he is no where to be found....

John Welsh ll, Att at Law from Lawrenceville, Ga took thousands from us and did nothing. Have all kinds of proof but in Gwinnett County anything goes I guess. Always has, always will. He takes $2000 on 9/21/15 and runs to the bank right away for it. We got our background checks, paid for them, took them to his office. We try and call, leave messages and go to office to leave messages. Nothing. On 10/5/16 he wants another $2000 (I knew I should have went with my gut and left then, figured he blowing smoke up my ass and telling me lies for more funds) but I wrote another $2000 and he was at my bank again within minutes (as they called me). We had to re-do our background checks again, pay for them and take them to his office. Again he does not respond or do anything. Initially he told us this would only take 6-12 months. My husband checked around, it should only take that. So my husband sends an e-mail and he gives him some run around about how it takes a long time. We finally sent a certified letter on 4/11/17 for a statement and refund (signed for 2 days later) 2 months ago but of course we hear nothing. The normal with this attorney. Never hear from him. Today is 6/5/17, never heard a word again.

I have to say hands down Mr. John Welsh is the best attorney I have ever had. Mr. Welsh was my saving grace in helping me survive the process of handling my late husbands affairs. I was completely lost and was about ready to give up and somehow I found Mr. Welsh. Within one visit I had hope again that somehow things might be possible. He stepped right in and took charge and has been unbelievably amazing in every way. I was a happily married woman and stay at home mom of three "little" children when my worst nightmare happened, my husband of 10+ years hit a tree in the black ice of January 2015 and suffered a traumatic brain injury and remained in a coma for 8 months before he passed away. My case was far from simple, my husband was young and had no will plus he had a fairly new business that he had started, not to mention we had 3 young kids. My husband handled all the affairs outside of the household stuff and left me completely lost when he hit that tree. This all made my case become more and more complicated as time went on. Not to mention the mistakes I had made trying to apply for my husbands estate myself with the court. Mr. Welsh was able to take what I had done and completely turn it around for us. He became like family to my kids, myself and even my mother. His assistant Heather was always happy and welcoming, quick to respond to my needs or questions and even when the kids and I were there we always felt more like we were with family than at an attorneys office. They had toys for my kids to play with and were very accepting of having children around, making me much more comfortable and able to concentrate. He is a very kindhearted and thoughtful man and I could tell he had only our best interest at heart. Even to the point of being concerned that I needed to eat after a long day at the courthouse, and urging me to take care of myself. I wish there was a way to convey with words how grateful I am to Mr. Welsh and to Heather- for all their hard work on my case, but words are not adequate to how thankful I am to have had the help of such a kind and caring lawyer. I don't know what I would have done without Mr. Welsh!!!!! If you want an attorney who will treat you like his own family then Mr. John Welsh is it, he's absolutely wonderful in every way. And even my kids loved him... Wonderful attorney and I highly recommend him to everyone!

I have been trying to get him on the phone for 2 weeks!! He will not return my messages or answer the phone. Very unprofessional. When I did get him on the phone he didn't remember who I was. Still waiting on him to fax 1 paper to the judge so I can get my license back.

mr whitman although a very nice man, was the suckiest (if thats even a word) lawyer ever. The whole time that he was may lawyere I spoke to him maybe a total of a 2 hours combined.. the most i found out about my case was a few days before going.. then when i get there i tried discussing the possiblities of going to trial and he kept trying to push me to take a 6 month plea deal where i would go to jail. He did not present the entire plea deal to me. Also kept telling me the DA had a very weak case.. pretty much no evidence but one word against another, but still kept trying to pressure me. At a calendae call I asked the judge for a continuance to retain my own lawyer. I told Mr. Whitman my plan before hand he tried to tell me that only 90% of the time your able to change your lawyer (that was a lie) the judge told me that it was my right to obtain my own lawyer if i wish to do so

Not easy to deal with, operates with no patience. He's overworked and mad at you for asking any questions. I recommend staying away as he is not looking to treat his client in their best interest.

I have dealt with Greg before. There were seldom times where he was very informative and helpful and others where he was the most obnoxious, condescending, rudest attorney that you could ever imagine. This last occasion was just far too much and the point I had to take time to write this post to warn anyone else that takes the risk to retain this guy. If you just want to be belittled and treated like gum on the bottom of this guy's shoe then by all means good luck with that. What's even more amazing is I called to obtain information from him on how to proceed with filing bankruptcy. He was impatient, didn't listen, and extremely belligerent towards me. And I was simply was trying to follow-up with him with an update from a previous discussion to let him know I was officially prepared to retain his services and move forward with the next steps. The response I received was he abruptly told me find to another attorney and hung up in my face. My mouth just dropped. I couldn't believe how this turned out this way. I was completely dumbfounded. I was like what did I say or do to deserve this? I just called to give an update on certain circumstances that have changed in my situation since we last spoken and wanted to know if the process would be different or cover those things. I really got completely lashed out at for just even asking and calling. It's utterly unprofessional and quite sad. I hope that this was him having a bad day.. but obviously based on other reviews from clients expressing he that he was similarly unprofessional with them too. Unfortunate.

Daniel Ashley will take your case, take your money and TAKE YOU TO THE CLEANERS! Our biggest mistake was hiring him and trusting him. He stood us up in court 3 different times. The judge even expressed his concern for Daniels incompetent,unprofessional behavior once he showed up 3 hours late.The judge ordered him to pay the other attorney for not showing up. At this point we were not shocked that he billed us for his incompendency. Furthermore he made no effort in our case to contact any of our leading witnesses

When you hire an attorney, they'll tell you they're good for the job and unfortunately this attorney and his firm, bank rolled me while ruining my case for restitution & damages. It was also later discovered that he had absolutely zero experience in vehicle accident/personal injury claims, and yet he assured me that he was up for the job. I have to honestly blame myself for choosing such an inexperienced attorney, who works for a "probate" legal firm. Upon hire, I was seeking monetary damages that over the course of 3-1/2 yrs, cost me well over $35,500.00 and proposed just over 40% recovery in return for my damages due. One would think that the attorney knows the law and could give you a somewhat precise outcome, but instead of coming after the insurance company, he and his firm charged me upfront. Just so your aware, the defendant was founded to be 100% liable for the accident, which I paid both his legal expenses as well as my costs for repairs, and from my pocket. Mr. Stuckey however, benefited well over $14,678.00 and State Farm's legal team (opposing counsel) profited for their legal work, and of course everyone got paid accept me, and/or profited well more than me. Ask yourself, who's the victim here? Again, inexperienced attorney for my needs, but typical attorney, thus never turning down a means for potential monetary gain! If there was a negative 5 stars, that would better suit him.
