I highly recommend Kim Frye as a defense attorney. She is exceptional in every sense of the word. When I found myself in a serious legal situation, Kim guided me through the process with expertise and care. Her team also kept me informed every step of the way, which provided me with much-needed reassurance during a difficult time.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Nick Schnyder Law Firm on my car accident case, and I can't recommend them enough! From the moment I reached out, Manny was incredibly supportive and guided me through every step of the process. His expertise and dedication made a world of difference.
The firm settled my case quickly, and I was pleasantly surprised by the settlement amount. They clearly know what they’re doing and fight hard for their clients. I felt informed and valued throughout the entire experience, and Manny’s personal touch truly made it easier for me during a stressful time.
If you're looking for a law firm that delivers results and has your best interests at heart, look no further. Thank you, Nick Schnyder and Manny, for your outstanding work!

Intelligent, determination, tenacity, ethical, integrity and a morally sound leader are merely a few of her innate personality characteristics in which empower Jenni Brown, not only to maintain, but to grow and strengthen her relationships in every aspect of her life. Witnessing Jenni Brown over the years in a business setting, organizing yearly business association events that continue to grow in size and sell out. After years of doing business with Jenni, I continue to be pleased with her professionally. One of which I highly Recommend.

Jennifer brown is racist, as soon as she noticed I was black she sold the case! She has a husband but running around with Dutton her business partner. She did not look out for my best interest when representing me. I did not feel like I had a voice when it came to my health concerns or needs.

We tried to contact two other law firms to assist a dear your friend of ours to get support for unpaid child support. We found that discussions with 2 other law firms seemed either non-responsive or in one case, not very well organized. We are new to the Ellijay area, being from Tampa Bay and never have had difficulties in professional legal support. We just gave up for 2 weeks, but our single mom friend still needed to recover over-due child support unpaid for over 10 months. We then contact Brown Dutton and Crider and spoke with an assistant named Joanne Taylor. We were able to get exactly what we needed, instructions by for how to do to organize for legal support by email within an hour. Just, plain easy. The way it should be with a professional agency.

Never able to talk to the attorney. The secretary is a wall. When I gave a surprise visit, she had not even printed my documents. Again nothing happening, nothing to sign for 3 months. When requested assistance on how to deal with the suits i was served, the answer was a clear NO. Gave them another surprise visit, the wall did not even let me inside the office and she was acting annoyed. I am starting to think she doesn't like Hispanics.
For 3 months I waited and was never given anything to review amounts or to sign. Just emails requesting another P&L for the new month.
I am asking a refund of the $313 and I'm being ignored once again. Why not tell me NO from the beginning so I could find someone else that can be willing to speak to their clients.
Update: finally acknowledged after my review. Refund received. I have email proving you denied to help me to answer the suits which I was willing to pay you of course, I was not asking for a free ride on anything.

In my consultation, Sean explained how he would approach this unique case. This timeline shows the effectiveness of how he handled this case in 85 days.
4/9/24 Retained Sean Whitworth
4/10/24 Complaint for divorce was filed
4/19/24 Respondent was served
6/3/2024 45 day period for response elapsed.
7/1/24 Respondent signed decree virtually
7/3/24 Judge signed divorce decree
The flat rate arrangement was new to me. It eliminated any worry that comes with hourly billing. It's evident that Sean and his office spent the time needed to resolve this case.
Thank you, Sean.

Navigating the process of finding a lawyer is not an easy one but I can tell you finding Hobson & Hobson P.C was nothing short of Divine Intervention from God!!! My lawyer Brandy Alexander and her paralegal Meghan Warren are absolutely amazing. They are attentive to my needs and concerns and always reply to me within 24 - 48 hours about my questions and concerns and I’ve had a lot of those. They are very knowledgeable on Family Law and I’m definitely getting what I paid for. They keep me updated on every step in my case and are very thorough with handling my case. My case involves Child Custody Modification and that’s not a very easy process mentally to deal with. However Brandy and Meghan do their best to make it as bearable as they possible can. They do their best to get the best possible outcome for your situation and with them I can clearly see the path forward with my case knowing my child best interest is the main concern of not only myself but my team I’m working with as well. Thank you Hobson & Hobson P.C!!

My wife and I hired Jud in the fall of 2013 after we were sued for a sellers disclosure disagreement on our house. From the beginning Jud explained what we were to expect throughout the process and kept us completely informed. He was ultra prepared anytime we had to face a hearing and made sure we had no outstanding questions in the judicial process. We recently won the case due to Jud's knowledge of the law and his diligent expertise. I would recommend Jud to anyone who needs representation in a legal manner.

I have used Jud on a few occasions that he has handled for me. I can truly say he is a true professional...always calls back when you try to reach him, is an expert in his area and really cares about his clients and their outcome. I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone looking for the best of what Marietta has to offer as far as a lawyer goes, you won't be disappointed.

Jud helped me clear a legal matter that impugned my property. He was extremely knowledgeable and effective on my behalf. He explained my options and the process to me so I knew what to expect from the start. I feel that this matter was handled in a professional and very expeditious manner. In the end, it was clear that Jud knew the law much better than the other party. I would highly recommend his services.

I've had lawyers in the past that sold me a dream on what they would do for me but, in the end, they never came through with everything. Don't get me wrong, I've had decent lawyers but David has surpassed them all. I was charged with driving on a suspended license not long ago and keep in mind, my driving history is not the best by any means. David sat down with the D.A and worked out a deal to where I was able to keep my license without being put on probation. I expected much worse. There was also a situation where I was facing prison time for failing a drug test and violating my probation. David not only kept me out of prison but also got me into the rehab that I needed. He will tell you like it is. He will tell you exactly what to expect and what he can do for you. David has done everything for me that he said he would and more. I have been very pleased with everything he has done for me. I will continue to use David for any problems I have in the future. I strongly recommend David for any situation no matter what it is.

Lisa Owen was my third attorney. What I thought was going to be an easy case, rapidly escalated to one of the worst experiences I have ever been through. A divorce. If everything is smooth and no issues at all, maybe any attorney will do. When things get nasty and everything is at stake, you want to be sure you have the right team behind you. I had to changed attorneys twice because I found out as things progressed, the case was beyond the level of competance for the current attorney. One of the attorneys had to withdraw from the case because she admitted it was beyond her abilities and experience. I wish I had saved all the wasted money and time with the first two.
All I wanted, was to know, that when we went to the mat "court", the team and person fighting for me, that I had total trust and faith in them. No matter the results, I wanted to know, they were the best. Lisa Owen was professional, 100% on her game, her team behind her including Natasha, Sarah, and several others, were always pushing and driving forward. Lisa actually scared me she is so good. Sharp, articulate, fast thinker, great debator, driven, witty, a total bad as#. She is a true bull dawg and exactly what you want if the case is something that truly matters. Lisa called me on her family vacation, pushed me non stop, she thought about things I never would have, I was in awe of her and her team the whole way through. She ran the show....She directed everything. she was in charge....and that is exactly what I wanted.
Yes, I paid a lot of money to hire someone of her caliber, but, I would have saved so much money if I have contacted her first. I am so thankful to my friend that I called who works in the legal system and asked for help and who was the best? I wish I had called her at the very beginning. She said, without a doubt, you call Lisa Owen.
What will it cost you if you lose your case? What will it cost you if you don't settle in a more favorable position for you?
My divorce was the worst event of my adult life. Far worse than I could have ever imagined. The emotional drain, the physical exhaution, the fear of what may happen. Once again, some couples get divorced and it is a simple conversation and they draw it up and it is over....But if things turn nasty, if things are complicated with your family, businesses, etc, if you think you need the best, if you want the best possible outcome, and the total confidence in the team you hire....I could not recommend Lisa Owen more highly.
In my professional career, in any business field, you know when you are working with someone who is one of the best in their industry....Lisa is one of those people, as is her entire team.
I am a Marietta native. I am a 25 year veteran in the mortgage industry, and unfortunately I help clients every month go through a divorce. There is usually a home and a mortgage to deal with. You want the best helping navigate these steps. I typically help one of them move out and buy a home, and the other, I help to refinance the mortgage into their name. It is a very structured and a very emotional process.
I never thought I would personally go through it myself. I now feel like I have a Ph'D in the mortgage/divorce space. I was going through this to settle my case, but also to learn as much as I could as to the logistics of all that can take place on the legal side. I was an apprentice watching one of the best in the industry, and paying very close attention, because I was the case being tried.
I am not a personal friend of Lisa's. This review was not requested. I will rarely ever give a review, but when I do, it is only for someone that I will give my personal approval for them. If you want the best, and if you can hire her....you want Lisa Owen.
If you want to buy or refinance a house, call me....if you want to bury your spouse, call me....and I will introduce you to Lisa.
OK. maybe not bury your spouse...but you get it.

Tori was literally the Angel GAL that I needed. Going through a hostile divorce and severe alienation, Tori quickly helped me focus on my girls, and encouraged me to "trust the process". She was open, transparent and honest. Clear, direct, yet compassionate. I felt seen and heard. She was reassuring. Tori is extremely skilled, dedicated and gifted at arriving at the best outcomes for the children she is called to serve. I more than recommend her to service all of your family law needs.

Tori White is an exceptional Guardian Ad Litem. She is thorough and very polite throughout the investigation process. Extremely knowledgeable about the process and laws and procedures. Her keen perception was very important to the decision making process in our case, and she was able to see the heart of the situation, beyond the hidden undisclosed details.
Exceptionally strong and very well articulated! Tori White will get the job done!!

I don't recommend this law firm to anybody, my husband had Christine Brown as his attorney and he decided not to go forward with the divorce, he paid them over 4K to represent him, and when he asked was he owed money back. Christine and Kelly said no they sent an invoice. Also, Christine is mad because my husband asked her to recuse herself from his case. After all, he wasn't going to pay them any more money which they took over 4K from him already. The receptionist Kelly emailed him like you still owed us money in she was harassing him and they took all of his money. The receptionist Kelly and Christine Brown the attorney don't know how to talk to people they're not people person, it's like they are out to just get money from clients and don't care about the wellbeing of the clients and their clients.

Skelton and Blackstone Attorneys helped my wife and me prepare our wills and advance directives. They carefully took us through all of the various decisions and helped us understand the ramifications of each. We left the office with complete documents which Skelton and Blackstone filed with the appropriate authorities. This gave my wife and me great peace of mind and actually did a lot to solidify our relationships as it showed how we would need to depend on each other in the event of an untimely passing. I very much recommend Skelton and Blackstone for the compassionate, unhurried way they work with clients.

We needed a good real estate attorney and were referred to Mr. Skelton, and he did a great job for us on our refi. No games, no waiting, just good service and even the advice daddy might give you about not taking on too much debt.
It doesn't cost any more to hire the best so why go with someone without all his experience and connections?
thanks, Mr. Skelton!

In my opinion she took my case based on the money she could make and who the litigious opposing council was. She first didn’t want to take my case but when I came back 6 to 8 months later, she heard who the opposing council was and she had a change of heart. I don’t feel she represented my interests, just hers. I was in the middle of an emotional divorce and didn’t have the wherewithal to really evaluate what was happening.

This lawyer strictly follows the rules and doesn't go the extra mile to assist you. She makes big promises but fails to deliver. She couldn't make time for an important interview, even though she knew about it months in advance. Instead, she said she'd listen in by phone but didn't even bother to do that. As expected, the interview didn't go well, and I had to pay thousands more to fix the mistakes she made. Save your money and avoid this lawyer; she's only in it for the money and lacks the emotional intelligence needed for the job.

Ms. Fielder lacks integrity and that is Key for any Lawyer when dealing with people's family, personal well being etc. I had a horrible experience with her after paying her for services. Poor communication with keeping me informed. Never returned phone calls/emails. Therefore when we arrived for court she couldnt even answer the judges questions!It was embarrasing!Not to mention she was late and forgot to file documents with the court! I paid a large amount of money as a retainer fee and she took advantage of my personal situation. Im not sure how much experience this woman has but Id say she could use about 20 more years and a few classes in humility.. DO NOT HIRE HER. When I decided to hire her I based my decision on the reviews on this site which I now know were probaly wirtten by Carrie Fiedler herself. I would hate for anyone else hoping for a good attorney to make the same mistake I did. TRUST ME! KEEP LOOKING!

Words cannot describe the value and comfort that I have received from hiring Jere Smith. I have come to him many times for help with varying things, some personal, some business related. He is abundantly kind and supportive, goes above and beyond to show up for you as a client, and is incredible at his job. I have seen the one negative review posted here and I cannot personally understand how those claims could ever be true about him. He has shown up for me in incredible ways and I have personally seen him do the same for many others.

We required a real estate attorney not attached to a firm for a personal damages matter since we work professionally with most firms in the area and there would be a COI if we used one of the firms. The Law Offices of Jere C. Smith, LLC was recommended to us. Before engaging The Law Offices of Jere C. Smith, LLC, we communicated in writing that the case was marginal due to damages less than $10,000, and that we needed their advice if this was worth pursuing at all. We compiled all discovery and exhibits in an organized way for The Law Offices of Jere C. Smith, LLC to expediently decide if this was worth pursuing. The Law Offices of Jere C. Smith, LLC encouraged us to move forward with pushing the case. On their council, we hired The Law Offices of Jere C. Smith, LLC and agreed to move forward that we had a reasonable chance to succeed. The Law Offices of Jere C. Smith, LLC communicated poorly through this matter, including "not receiving" an email which created confusion, requiring multiple days to reply to the Defendant's Attorney on a simple matter, and by accidentally sending confidential information from another client to the Defendant's Attorney. Ultimately, this case concluded with a dead end. The Law Offices of Jere C. Smith, LLC provided no constructive benefit in our case, since from the beginning we had communicated to them in writing that the case was marginal, yet in writing they advised us to proceed. Our invoice from The Law Offices of Jere C. Smith, LLC was an amount equal to half our total damages. The invoice included time that they spent talking with us before we hired them, and the invoice included exorbitant durations of time spent for email communication: over 7 hours spent on 3 email chains. We communicated a request to change the invoice due to these unreasonable charges. The Law Offices of Jere C. Smith, LLC denied changing the invoice and threatened to pursue legal action against us if we didn't pay the invoice in full. We paid the invoice in full. We do not recommend using The Law Offices of Jere C. Smith, LLC under any circumstances.

My brother and I retained Atty Separk to revise a will and power of attorney documents. Neither my brother nor I had prior experience with Atty Separk and contacted him based on a referral from an attorney in Florida who specialized in legal matters relevant to senior citizens. My brother and I found Atty Separk's manner to be considerate, his communication clear, and his attitude most respectful. His services were extremely helpful, and I would characterize our overall experience with Atty Separk as outstanding.

I used Separk two or three times for a will, advice, and a civil matter. He was ok but always communicated clearly that you were to listen and be quiet, he knew what was best for you, not you. He is very arrogant and clearly communicates that he is superior to you, the client. I became involved in a criminal matter and went to him for advice, whereupon he raised his voice and told me I should know better than to come to him for advice on a legal matter such as this. He was very nasty and mean spirited, which shocked me, because I had an established relationship with him. I called him a few days later to ask for an explanation for his behavior, and he refused to speak with me.

Stephen Steeler is a crook ! He made already challenging and emotionally charged situation even worse. He repeatedly prioritized his own financial gain over the best interests of the clients, providing subpar legal advice, failing to communicate effectively, and dragging out the legal process unnecessarily. He charged for every single thing that he had to do and heightened emotional distress for those going through a divorce. His reputation is a sham ! Avoid this guy

I've been trying to get a divorced for almost 4 months and I haven't heard anything about my case. The only thing he did was get the other party signature for the case and that's it. Don't waste your time and money going to this lawyer, they are very rude on the phone when you want some answers about your case. Find yourself a good lawer.

We were referred by a friend to attorney Mitchell. Our friend told us that he would give us a true assessment of our case and he did. In fact, by the time it was over we had decided that it was not in our best interest to sue. Imagine, the attorney talked us out of spending our money. We appreciated his candor and honesty.

Had no problem taking the money up front, and afterwards, he told us there's nothing he can do. We paid $2000 for him to send an email. On the court date, he didnt show up and when called, he said he doesn't have anything to do with that case. Extremely disappointed and will definitely pursue further legal action so this won't happen to others.

What a Business Lawyer Can Do for You
A business lawyer provides critical legal guidance and support to entrepreneurs, startups, and established businesses. Whether you are forming a new company, drafting contracts, or navigating complex regulations, a business attorney ensures you are legally protected and operating within the law. They can also help prevent legal disputes or represent you in negotiations, transactions, or lawsuits that arise during the course of business operations.
Business lawyers have expertise in areas such as business formation, contract law, intellectual property, employment law, mergers and acquisitions, and corporate governance. They ensure that your business is compliant with relevant laws and help mitigate risks that could threaten your company's success.
When Should I Hire a Business Lawyer?
Hiring a business lawyer is essential at various stages of business development, including:
- Forming a business: When deciding on the best structure for your company (LLC, corporation, partnership, etc.), a lawyer can guide you through the registration and compliance process.
- Drafting contracts: If you need contracts for employees, partners, suppliers, or clients, a lawyer ensures these documents are legally sound and in your best interest.
- Mergers, acquisitions, or dissolutions: If you are buying, selling, or dissolving a company, legal counsel is critical to avoid costly mistakes.
- Compliance and regulatory issues: A lawyer can help navigate complex regulations, particularly in industries like healthcare, finance, or tech.
- Resolving disputes: Whether it's contract disagreements, intellectual property infringement, or employment issues, a business lawyer helps mediate, negotiate, or litigate on your behalf.
What Does a Business Lawyer Do?
Business lawyers provide a wide range of services that cater to different legal needs of a business. They can:
- Help you choose the best legal structure for your business.
- Draft, review, and negotiate contracts with employees, suppliers, customers, or business partners.
- Ensure regulatory compliance with local, state, and federal laws.
- Advise on tax strategies to minimize your business's tax burden.
- Assist with intellectual property protection, such as trademarks, patents, and copyrights.

- Resolve disputes through negotiation, arbitration, or litigation.
How Are Business Lawyers Paid?
Business lawyers typically charge either by the hour or on a flat-fee basis, depending on the complexity of the work. Common payment structures include:
- Hourly rates: The lawyer charges based on the time spent working on your case. Rates vary depending on the lawyer's experience and location.
- Flat fees: For certain tasks, such as incorporating a business or drafting a standard contract, a lawyer may offer a flat fee.
- Retainer: Some businesses may hire a lawyer on retainer, paying a fixed amount each month to have ongoing access to legal services.
The payment structure is often discussed during an initial consultation so you can choose the one that best suits your business needs and budget.
How Much Does a Business Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a business lawyer depends on factors such as:
- The complexity of the legal issue: More complex matters, like mergers or intellectual property disputes, typically cost more than routine tasks like contract drafting.
- The lawyer's experience and location: More experienced lawyers or those in larger cities often charge higher fees.
- The nature of the billing arrangement: Hourly rates can range from $150 to $1,000 or more, depending on the lawyer's expertise. Flat fees are usually available for simpler matters like forming an LLC or drafting a standard contract.
It's essential to discuss fee structures upfront to avoid surprises.
Top Questions to Ask a Business Lawyer
Before hiring a business lawyer, ask the following questions during your consultation:
-
What is your experience with businesses like mine?
Find out if the lawyer has handled legal issues for companies in your industry. -
What services do you offer?
Ensure the lawyer can meet all your business's legal needs, from contract drafting to dispute resolution. -
What are your fees, and how do you bill?
Get clarity on how you'll be charged - whether by the hour, flat fee, or retainer. -
How do you handle conflicts of interest?
Ask how the lawyer ensures there is no conflict in representing your business. -
Can you provide references from other business clients?
Speaking with past clients will give you an idea of the lawyer's expertise and professionalism. -
Do you have experience in my specific industry?
Industry-specific knowledge can be crucial, especially in highly regulated fields like healthcare or finance.
How to Check the Credibility of a Business Lawyer
To ensure you're hiring a reputable business lawyer:
- Check state bar association records: Verify that the lawyer is in good standing and has no disciplinary actions against them.
- Look for client reviews or testimonials: Online reviews, testimonials, or word of mouth from other business owners can provide insight into the lawyer's reliability and effectiveness.
- Ask for references: A credible lawyer should have satisfied clients who can vouch for their services.
- Check professional memberships: Membership in respected legal organizations (such as the American Bar Association or a local business lawyer association) can signal credibility.
- Review their website and professional profile: A well-established lawyer typically has a professional website showcasing their areas of expertise, credentials, and case success.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make the most out of your first consultation with a business lawyer, prepare the following:
- A description of your business and its structure: This will help the lawyer understand your legal needs.
- Any current contracts or agreements: If you're seeking contract advice, bring copies of existing contracts.
- A list of legal issues or concerns: Be ready to discuss any potential legal challenges, such as regulatory compliance, disputes, or transactions.
- Financial documents: If applicable, bring financial records related to the legal matter you're seeking help with.
- Questions about fees and billing: Ensure you understand the lawyer’s payment structure and fees upfront.
By preparing these materials, you can ensure that your first meeting with a business lawyer is productive and informative.
