I could hardly believe Christine Cruse's patience with me.
I came into my consultation with no knowledge of divorce procedures, preparations, or proceedings at all.
She gave me an ENORMOUS amount of education and advice for my path forward...and, as we all know, Education is Power!
Much thanks to and many blessings upon The Law Office of Christine Cruse.

Christine was absolutely the best. My divorce was messy (in my opinion) and drawn out by my ex, and yet I always knew I had Christine in my corner fighting for me and my best interests. A process that would've otherwise been the worst legal experience of my life was made so much easier and less stressful.
Specifically, Christine was prompt and timely with responding to all of my questions and requests, and always had an answer for whatever questions I posed. I couldn't recommend her services more.
She's also just a lovely person to communicate with, which in my opinion is the most important when dealing with drawn out legal issues. I'll definitely be using her in the future if I ever need legal representation again.

What an amazing experience that I will never ever forget. I will forever be grateful for our paths crossing. She handled my case timely and professionally while also managing to provide updates every step of the way, despite her busy schedule and high demand.
I would recommend her time and time again to anyone in need of a passionate and informed attorney.

I would like to thank Coleman, Chambers & Rogers, LLP for helping me with a MVA case. A special thanks to Ryan Brock, Diane, and Janne for all their help and patience throughout this case. They were all very kind and quick to respond when I had any questions and also great with updates throughout. I had called several places looking for an attorney to take on my case, and Ryan was the only one willing to take my case on and had helped ease some concern and confusion with the auto insurance companies involved. They truly care about their clients and helping them out as much as they can.

Coleman, Chambers & Rogers LLP is absolutely phenomenal! Rob Chambers, Emily Cox, and Vanessa Gonzalez were nothing short of incredible from start to finish. They handled a MVA case involving my minor child with a level of professionalism, care and expertise that not only met my expectations but shattered them!
Even with the challenges of COVID-19, they remained steadfast and ensured I was always informed and up to date. Every detail was handled with precision and their communication was simply unmatched. It was clear from the beginning that my son’s well-being was their top priority and that commitment showed in every interaction.
What truly sets them apart is their unwavering dedication and willingness to go above and beyond. They fought tirelessly to ensure my son’s needs were met and didn’t rest until we reached a settlement that truly felt like justice.
If you’re in Northeast Georgia and in need of a legal team that’s both highly skilled and genuinely compassionate, look no further than Coleman, Chambers & Rogers LLP. Their expertise, tenacity and personal touch are unmatched. I will absolutely work with them again and wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking outstanding legal representation.

I cannot say enough great things about Hartman Law and their team! As a real estate professional, having a reliable and efficient closing attorney is essential, and Hartman Law consistently exceeds expectations.

She’s always quick to respond, incredibly knowledgeable, and willing to go the extra mile to ensure that all parties are comfortable and well-informed throughout the process.
Every closing I’ve had with Hartman Law has been seamless, and my clients always walk away happy and impressed. The team genuinely cares about creating a positive experience for everyone involved, going above and beyond to handle even the most complex situations with ease.

Chelsea Wilkerson has been a wonderful attorney to work with! She completed three documents (Last Will and Testament, Financial Power of Attorney, and Advanced Directive) for me in a professional and timely manner. She was responsive with emails and phone calls. She also took time to get to know me and develop a relationship, which I appreciated. I will definitely reach out to her in the future for any legal help.

I can’t say enough about Eugenia Walls. Eugenia Walls is outstanding. Most law offices don’t care about you as an individual. They just want billable hours. Every step of the way she understood my financial situation. I still wanted a great lawyer and I actually got both. She sat me down and told me exactly what she would do. She did just that. As dad I couldn’t be happier. She’s smart and a pitbull. I was out of mediation at the two hour mark with every single thing I asked for! I’m still staring at my papers in disbelief.

I was incredibly grateful to meet Craig. He was referred to me through a colleague at a very challenging point in my life. Deciding to file personal bankruptcy is heartbreaking. But Craig showed great compassion and understanding for my situation.
He supported me every step of the way by explaining the process, and was very accommodating with his fees and payment structure. While I hope no one ever has to go through bankruptcy filing, but if that time ever comes, I have 100% trust and confidence in Craig’s expertise and professionalism. He was always incredibly prompt in responding to my calls or texts. I always felt he had my back. Filing for bankruptcy tends to do a number on your self esteem. But I never felt judged by Craig througout the entire process. The main thing he contiually communicated was not to worry, things would be fine, and we would get all of my financial challenges worked out. Craig delivered on every promise he made and went out of his way to make a challenging situation so much easier at every step. Thank you, Craig. You are a super guy and a stellar attorney.

What I thought would be a relatively easy go with my now ex-wife turned into a protracted battle of everything. What should have been simple became contested. Thank goodness I decided to go with Emily Yu. She is the best.
If you need an attorney that is laser focused on your needs and desires and doesn't push you in the direction they want, Emily is for you. She is compassionate, articulate and is not afraid to go toe to toe with anyone. I loved how quickly she responded to my questions either in email or on the phone. I especially loved how I never felt like she was over billing me.
There is no other attorney I could recommend for a contested divorce. It's a guarantee that you spouse will not enjoy going up against her and opposing council will know they are in for a scrum. Emily is worth every one of your hard earned pennies.

I can't put into words what a blessing Emily was to work with during an extremely stressful time in my life. She was kind, patient and caring while at the same time she stayed professional and truly had my best interest at heart. She was very easy to talk with and answered all of my questions and concerns with genuine compassion. I knew she was the attorney I wanted from our initial conversation. She made a very scary time in my life go by a lot smother and I can't put into words how thankful I am for her.

Curtis Kleem is absolutely amazing! I needed some custody stuff handled, & for my particular situation , he was able to get it taken care of quickly and efficiently ! I pretty much had to do nothing but send in some papers ! (My case was to modify visitation rights) , I’m just so thankful he was able to take care of it all for me & I didn’t really have to do a thing! & it was a success . 😊 His staff is also amazing. His wife had to answer the phones the day I had called, and she talked to me for quite a bit and was SO friendly and helpful and knowledgeable! 100/10 ✨ recommend this practice! :)

We just finished with finalization yesterday and received communication all in the same day! I would highly recommend Josie to everyone that is looking for an adoption lawyer. The best part was knowing all the costs up front and not being surprised with a huge bill at the end.

Ms. Redwine took on our adoption case when previous counsel was failing to assure the custody of our children to us from the hospital. She worked quickly and set the proper course of action. She was very diligent in reviewing the previous counsel's work and found many errors that could have possibly threatened the permanency of the adoption in the future if someone would have chosen to contest it. We are grateful that we hired Ms. Redwine when we did as her knowledge and familiarity with the whole process turned a potential huge problem into a much more manageable situation.

I've never had an attorney call me back personally. Not his Secretary not his paralegal, but the lawyer himself. He wasn't in a rush. He let me explain our situation and gave sound advice without wanting a penny. He explained the pros and cons of our case, without giving any false hope, as well as gave me an upfront cost. You can tell this man wants nothing more to help family and children be together. Thank you so much for your help today.

I’m not sure I can say enough nice things about Birney Bull.
Our adoptive son was born just before Christmas 2016. We live in KY, the adoption agency was in OH, and he was born in GA. As you can guess, getting coordination from three state governments during the holidays was not an easy process.
After several weeks away from home (we weren’t legally allowed to leave GA until all the legal paperwork was completed), we contacted Birney to find some help in getting the process expedited and finally taking our little man home.
Our first meeting was after regular office hours. He came in to work late just to help us.
If Birney was a doctor, I would praise his bedside manner. He was accommodating, knowledgeable, and kept our spirits up after having to be away from home for nearly a month.
Within a week of our first meeting, all of the paperwork and red tape had been taken care of and we were able to bring our boy home to meet his family.
We weren’t just random clients to Birney. The personal attention, good nature, and even the humor we shared eased the burden of this long, drawn out process.
If you’re anywhere in GA and are looking for adoption assistance, call this office immediately.
You will realize that Birney is not just practicing adoption law as a career; it’s his passion.
Birney O’Brian Bull, you are a true gentleman.
God bless you.
Sincerely, Brent, Kim, and Luke.

Damon and Suzanne were phenomenal to work with as our family in going through a very tough circumstance. They were empathic, tenacious, and understanding.
They were not just collecting a pay day, they cared about the outcome for our family, and they celebrated with us after guiding the process to close and a big victory in a way we did not believe was even possible.
Could not recommend the firm more. If you a phenomenal family law firm, look no further.
Thank you so much!

I am so impressed with Mr. Bivek. He is a "cut to the chase" kind of attorney who is incredibly knowledgeable, but more importantly he's sharp. He knows what you need, how you need it, when you need it and will help you make it happen. He's a bright light in a seemingly dark tunnel of paperwork and procedure. I'm just glad I found him to assist me in my divorce.

Lynn Goldman handled my adoption from foster care. I was first given her name a year ago by a colleague whose husband recommended her. Before I was even a client, she took the time to explain some court procedures to me. Later on, I saw her name on a list of suggested lawyers for my case and I immediately chose her. She was so friendly and professional. She and her team helped me navigate the process, answered all of my questions in a timely manner, and made the whole process not just smooth and easy to navigate, but joyful as well. I will always appreciate the work she did to make the son of my heart my legal son! I highly recommend her practice and her team for anyone attempting to navigate the rather intimidating adoption process. She facilitated the best Christmas present that I could ever hope for.

I have had not so great experiences in the past with attorneys in my divorce/custody case. Kimi was as breath of fresh air. She was very communicative and answered all of my questions.

I highly recommend Kimi and will use her again should I need anything else with family law.

Kimi represented me in a custody modification and contempt with regard to child support. I can’t say enough great things about her representation, knowledge/strategic thinking and her overall support of me during this undoubtedly stressful litigation. Kimi is very thorough, fiscally responsible and receptive to feedback/working together as a team. Through Kimi’s dedication to my case, I was awarded sole custody and the defendant found in contempt of court, with a plan outlined for arrearage payments. I am so grateful and would highly recommend Kimi!

I honestly don't even know where to start. My divorce case was a complete nightmare. There is no worse feeling as a parent, than to know your child's best interest lays in the hands of someone else. It was terrifying. At the end of my case, I can honestly say Ms. Evans was the best lawyer I could have ever asked for. She fought hard for my daughter. I genuinely felt like she was fighting for her well being, just as she would want for her own. She kept her safe. Ms. Evans knows her stuff and is on top of it. She is prepared and can rebuttal facts! She is not only good at what she does, but she cares for her clients. She is very affordable and will work with her clients. Bianka is just as amazing. She is always polite and listens to your concerns. All around, I couldn't be more satisfied and will definitely use them again, when I am ready for my adoption case. If you find yourself looking for the best, definitely hire Ms. Evans. I promise you wont be disappointed. She is worth every penny! Ms. Evans won my divorce case, and also handled my tpr case and won it as well. My daughters and myself are now safe, due to her diligence, hard work, outstanding knowledge of family law, and passion for what she does. I give her a 100%

Jana and her team went above and beyond what was necessary to make sure all the details in our case were covered. She consistently gave good advice, responded to inquiries quickly, and pursued whatever was needed for us to finalize the guardianship, and then the adoption, of our child. She took care of many things "behind the scenes" that we had not even thought of needing to be done. Her rates were fair and, honestly, her services are worth more than what she charges. You should definitely contact her for family court services.

Tired of her unethical actions towards, a loved ones case in Cobb county, as a public defender. I have been dealing with this lawyer for over a year and she has visited my family member 1 time and knows nothing about his cases. I call for updates she has hung up on me or more than 2 occasions. Everyone deserves her to handle their cases for the best possible outcome per the state bar. This lawyer is also on social media making videos,when she could be studying my family members case. Less than 1 star and will be taking this review further until justice is served according to the codes of conduct as an attorney in the state of GA

This has been a road with this lawyer as I would give her less than 1 star if I could because of the way she has treated my family member in their court case in Cobb county. Instead of admitting she knows nothing about his cases (felony) & her YSL case is her priority she denies and lies as if she has visited when it is documented that she has not but once. Every case she takes or is assigned to, deserve a fair chance of representation & the oath states that she is supposed to “adhere to all articles of conduct while working tirelessly for the best possible outcome.” When I call to ask about updates she is rude. A life should be her concern paid or not! I will be complaining to state bar as this matter has been ongoing with her for over 1 year with her unprofessional manner.

I was having problems handling my workman's comp case on my own so I decided to hire Tommy. He was recommended by a friend and once I hired him, I was greatly pleased. Anytime I called his office, he either took my call immediately or he called me back before the end of the day. He was always professional, polite, and knowledgeable about my case. He ended my stress of trying to handle my case alone. He settled my case for the price I agreed on and I would definitely recommend him to anyone needing help with workman's comp.

To all who are looking for a honest and down to earth Christian attorney. Well here is the MAN. He started out by being upfront telling me it would take time and not to expect things to happen over night. The system takes time and they were very back logged. I appreciated this because some I had consulted said they would get me RESULTS IMMEDIATELY!! I asked one thing KEEP ME INFORMED.. He did so. He never failed to return a call answer an email. Granted it was not always the answer I wanted but I got an answer. Since I have used Mr.Goddard I have referred several others and their results were the same. Very pleased!!! There is no way to express the gratitude and appreciation for all he has done for me and my family..

Exceptional communication, service and above all else justice served, I accepted the courts decision based upon the information provided by my attorney explained to me in detail, got a basic rule violation.
But this makes the court look fair to others as well.
Dismal of offense/ cases isn’t good for the court.

I had the pleasure of working with Attorney Kira Abernathy for my case, and I can't speak highly enough of the service she provided. From the very beginning, Kira demonstrated a high level of professionalism and expertise. She acted swiftly and always kept my best interests at the forefront of every decision.
What truly sets Kira apart is her transparency. She consistently communicated the progress of my case, clearly explained timelines, and provided a balanced view of the pros and cons of each step we considered. I always felt informed and empowered to make decisions. I would highly recommend Kira to anyone in need of a family law attorney. She is not only highly skilled but also deeply committed to her clients.

Kira is by far the best attorney I've dealt with. Kira is someone who actually cares and is not just trying to get a quick dollar from you. She went above and beyond to assist and represent me and i honestly cant thank her enough. She is very detail oriented and will not miss a beat representing you. She keeps you updated with every little detail( I mean every detail). After every conversation and encounter she sends you a summary letting you know exactly everything you guys talked about then will also call to make sure she didn't miss anything and that everything was understood. She puts forth her best effort to make sure you are represented at the highest level. She is also very thorough in her research. Her knowledge in many areas of the law honestly surprised me. You can tell she really knows her information. If there is something she doesn't know I can guarantee she will figure out the answer before you speak to her again. I cant write a review well enough that doesn't sound fake and like i am just trying to market her lol. But I can attest for her as person just as much as I can as her an attorney. She actually cares and i think thats what stood out to me the most. She's very kind and easy to talk to. She supports you like as if she is a family member. She will work with you and is very understanding. She treats you as a human and not just another client. It felt so comfortable and effortless working with her. Her communication skills are excellent. If you're thinking about hiring her i wouldn't take a second thought. Thank you Kira for your help, I honestly cant thank you enough!

I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for the help and representation I received during my divorce. The guidance and expertise were invaluable, and I am confident that I would have received less without their support. Doug and Katherine work seamlessly together and made the entire process much more manageable. Thank you for everything!

What an Adoption Lawyer Can Do for You
An adoption lawyer specializes in navigating the legal complexities of the adoption process, ensuring that the rights of all parties involved - the adoptive parents, birth parents, and the child - are protected. They assist families through the different types of adoption, such as domestic, international, foster care, stepparent, and private adoptions. Adoption lawyers ensure that the adoption process complies with state, federal, and international laws, and handle any legal issues that may arise during the process, such as terminating parental rights, conducting home studies, and finalizing the adoption.
If you're looking to adopt or if you're a birth parent considering placing your child for adoption, an adoption lawyer can guide you through the legal requirements and ensure the process goes smoothly.
When Should I Hire an Adoption Lawyer?
You should consider hiring an adoption lawyer in the following situations:
- Private or independent adoption: If you’re adopting a child directly from the birth parents without the involvement of an adoption agency, a lawyer is essential to draft and review all legal documents, including consent forms and parental rights termination agreements.
- Foster care adoption: If you’re adopting a child from foster care, a lawyer can help navigate the legal process, ensure the child’s eligibility for adoption, and represent you in court to finalize the adoption.
- Stepparent or relative adoption: If you’re adopting a stepchild or a relative, a lawyer can assist in terminating the parental rights of the biological parent and ensure the adoption is completed legally and efficiently.
- International adoption: International adoptions are complex, involving multiple layers of laws from the U.S. and the child’s birth country. A lawyer can help navigate immigration requirements and ensure compliance with international treaties like the Hague Convention.
- Contested adoptions: If a birth parent changes their mind about the adoption or there is a dispute over parental rights, a lawyer can represent you in court and ensure that the adoption proceeds legally.
- Adoption for same-sex couples: If you're a same-sex couple looking to adopt, a lawyer can help ensure that your adoption complies with state laws and that both parents have equal legal rights to the child.
- Birth parent representation: If you’re a birth parent considering adoption, a lawyer can ensure that your rights are protected, help you understand the legal implications of terminating parental rights, and ensure that your decision is legally sound.
Hiring a lawyer early in the process can help avoid legal complications and ensure that the adoption is legally finalized as smoothly as possible.
What Does an Adoption Lawyer Do?
An adoption lawyer provides a variety of legal services, ensuring that the adoption process is completed in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. Their responsibilities often include:
- Filing legal paperwork: Adoption lawyers handle all the necessary paperwork, including petitions to terminate parental rights, consent forms, and final adoption decrees. They ensure that the adoption is in line with state, federal, and international laws.
- Conducting home studies: Some adoptions require a home study to evaluate the prospective adoptive family. While a social worker usually conducts the study, a lawyer can ensure that the process complies with legal requirements and that the report is submitted correctly.
- Terminating parental rights: Lawyers assist in terminating the legal rights of the biological parents, either voluntarily through signed consent or involuntarily through court proceedings if necessary.
- Representing clients in court: Adoption lawyers represent adoptive parents, birth parents, or other parties in court hearings to finalize the adoption or resolve disputes.
- Navigating international adoption laws: For international adoptions, a lawyer helps ensure that all legal requirements, both in the U.S. and the child’s home country, are met, including securing the child’s visa and citizenship.
- Providing legal advice: Adoption lawyers guide clients through each step of the adoption process, advising them on their rights and obligations, as well as any potential legal issues that may arise.
- Drafting post-adoption agreements: In some cases, especially open adoptions, a lawyer can help draft post-adoption agreements that specify the level of contact between the adoptive and birth parents.
How Are Adoption Lawyers Paid?
Adoption lawyers typically charge for their services based on the complexity of the adoption and the time involved. Common payment structures include:
- Flat fee: Many adoption lawyers charge a flat fee for handling the entire adoption process. This is common for straightforward adoptions, such as stepparent or foster care adoptions, where the legal work is relatively predictable.
- Hourly rate: For more complex adoptions, such as contested or international adoptions, some lawyers charge by the hour, with rates typically ranging from $200 to $500 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience and location.
- Retainer: In cases where the adoption process may take longer or involve more legal work (e.g., termination of parental rights or court disputes), a lawyer may require a retainer, which is an upfront payment that is billed against as the lawyer works on the case.
It’s important to discuss fees with your lawyer upfront, so you understand the total cost of the adoption and any additional expenses that may arise during the process.
How Much Does an Adoption Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring an adoption lawyer depends on the type of adoption and the complexity of the case. General cost estimates include:
- Stepparent or relative adoption: Legal fees for these types of adoptions typically range from $1,500 to $5,000, depending on whether the adoption is contested or requires a court hearing.
- Domestic private adoption: The legal fees for a private adoption usually range from $5,000 to $10,000, including drafting documents, terminating parental rights, and finalizing the adoption in court.
- International adoption: International adoptions are generally more expensive, with legal fees ranging from $7,000 to $15,000 or more, depending on the complexity of the adoption and the child’s country of origin.
- Contested adoption: If the adoption is contested and involves court disputes, legal fees may range from $10,000 to $20,000 or more, depending on the length and complexity of the court proceedings.
In addition to lawyer fees, adoptive parents should also be aware of additional costs such as court filing fees, home study fees, and travel expenses (for international adoptions).
Top Questions to Ask an Adoption Lawyer
Before hiring an adoption lawyer, it’s important to ask key questions to ensure they have the experience and knowledge to handle your case effectively. Key questions to ask include:
-
What experience do you have with adoptions?
Ensure the lawyer has experience with the specific type of adoption you’re pursuing, whether it’s domestic, international, foster care, or stepparent adoption. -
How do you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges a flat fee or hourly rate and ask for a detailed breakdown of the costs involved in your adoption. -
What are the legal requirements for my adoption?
Ask the lawyer to explain the legal steps involved in your adoption and any specific requirements that may apply to your case, such as home studies or parental consent. -
How long will the adoption process take?
Adoption timelines can vary depending on the type of adoption, so ask the lawyer for an estimate of how long the process will take, including any potential delays. -
What are the common challenges in adoption cases?
Ask about any potential legal challenges that could arise during the adoption process and how the lawyer plans to address them. -
Will I need to go to court?
Depending on the adoption, you may need to attend court hearings. Ask the lawyer whether your presence will be required and what to expect during these hearings. -
Can you help with post-adoption issues?
Ask the lawyer if they can assist with any post-adoption issues, such as obtaining the child’s birth certificate, finalizing the child’s U.S. citizenship (for international adoptions), or drafting post-adoption contact agreements.
How to Check the Credibility of an Adoption Lawyer
To ensure you are hiring a reputable adoption lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and experience:
- Verify their bar status: Check with your state bar association to confirm that the lawyer is licensed to practice law and has no disciplinary actions on their record.
- Look for adoption experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in adoption law and have experience handling cases similar to yours.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for client reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients have said about their experience with the lawyer.
- Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who have worked with them on adoption cases.
- Check for memberships in relevant organizations: Look for lawyers who are members of adoption-focused organizations like the American Academy of Adoption Attorneys (AAAA), which can indicate their expertise in this field.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make the most of your first consultation with an adoption lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:
- Information about the child and birth parents: Provide any available information about the child you’re adopting (e.g., age, country of origin, current living situation) and the birth parents, if applicable.
- Adoption preferences: Be clear about the type of adoption you’re pursuing - whether it’s domestic, international, foster care, stepparent, or private - and discuss any preferences you have regarding the child’s age, background, or special needs.
- Legal documents (if applicable): If you’ve already begun the adoption process or have signed any agreements, bring copies of all relevant legal documents, such as consent forms or agency agreements.
- Questions about the adoption process: Prepare a list of questions about the legal steps involved in your adoption, potential timelines, and any concerns you may have about the process.
- Financial considerations: Be ready to discuss your budget for legal fees and any additional costs, such as home studies, court fees, and travel expenses (for international adoptions).
By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can help the lawyer assess your situation more effectively and provide the best possible legal advice for your adoption journey.
