I highly recommend Sally Fox. I retained her services in an emotionally and professionally distressing civil matter and found her to be honest, empathetic, extremely competent and thorough, and highly responsive to any questions or concerns I had throughout the process. Very pleased with the services rendered and with the final outcome.

After going through two other attorneys in a divorce/custody case that started over a year and a half ago, Sally took over and put an end to the madness. She immediately took action and got the ball moving. She's very direct and honest, and will let you know what's realistic and what she feels the best course of action is (and why), but she ultimately leaves the decision up to you and doesn't encourage you to do anything you don't really want to do.
As soon as I met her and talked to her about my case, I could tell that she LOVES what she does. I felt so relieved knowing that my future was in her hands. She is easy to contact, very quick to respond, and unbelievably efficient. She's a pistol and doesn't put up with any BS from the opposing party.
Sally finalized my case quickly and maintained elegance and class while dealing with a less-than-savory opposing party/attorney. I can't even express how grateful I am for her service and I would highly recommend her to anybody going through the same thing.

I knew going in that my divorce and subsequent custody case was going to be messy so I wanted an attorney that was sharp enough to stick to the relevant facts of the case. Sally is upfront and tells it like it is whether you like it or not. She comes to trial prepared for anything a crazy ex can throw at you. This case needed an attorney that could think many steps ahead and she does just that. Peace of mind comes at a price but she has been worth every penny. I believe I can count on her to protect myself and my children for years to come.

Attorney Melnick has represented my non profit businesses for over 25 years. His counsel has been spot on. He has always been available to me when I needed his advice. I trust his intelligence and appreciate his professionalism.
I would highly recommend his services.
His second office in the Dunwoody Village is very convenient.

I used Patrick for my divorce case. From the very first time I talked to him over the phone, I knew that I was going to have a great attorney. He explained things and made sure I knew what was to come. Even if it was something I didn't want to hear, he told me anyway to make sure that I knew what could happen. Turns out, he was right about all that he had told me.
Patrick stayed in close contact with me and updated me often to make sure I knew where my case was. He worked very hard to get me what I deserved and wanted.
We had a chance to settle that morning before court. I wanted to settle it to just have it over with but Patrick knew that I was cutting myself short and fought to get me what I deserved. My case unfortunately wound up in front of the judge. This to me, is where Patrick shined the most. He's very very good at his job and that was evident during the trial. Not only did I get what I had asked for, I got more. All thanks to Patrick.
In the future, if I ever have to retain an attorney again, he will be my go to guy. I was very pleased, and have already recommended him several times.

Patrick handled a child custody case for us. He did a fantastic job. Patrick is very thorough and he kept us informed every step of the way. We were very impressed with him.

Patrick was concerned, informative, and full of sound advice from the very beginning of the consultation and then all through the divorce process. At no time did he ever leave a meeting with an open question or at least not having a plan of action.
Patrick was very thorough, always prompt with responses to my questions, and his follow up procedures leave nothing to be desired.
Patrick's knowledge of the law is without question and his ability to translate the law into layman's terms put me at complete ease from our very first meeting. Even from the consultation he was prompt to point out all the steps that the case would take and how we would address those issues.
Patrick also has an uncanny ability to make you feel comfortable and is gregarious by nature.
Going forward Shepherd Law firm will represent my personal and estate needs as the firm handles a variety of legal cases. I could not have been more pleased with their service, nor with the outcome of my case, all to the credit of Patrick.

Jill and her team are very good at what they do. I went through a divorce from multiple states away never stepping foot in GA. Everything was completed in a very timely fashion and Jill was there every step of the way. I felt very comfortable throughout the entire process even though we only communicated via email and phone calls. I would recommend Jill and her team you anyone. Even after everything was completed Jill still answers the occasional question in a very timely manner even though she doesnt have to. Thank you so very much Jill as well as to your team. You guys are great.

Barry was referenced to me for his legal knowledge and temperament. He was my second lawyer (make a change if it does not feel like your lawyer is on your team!) for divorce and was the perfect fit, as it is important for there to be a good level of understanding. This person is critical to your life and future lives of your children, post-divorce.
Barry listened to my endless jabbering, but at a point he educated me on what was critical and what was a complete waste of time. He was so right on many occasions, it was not even funny. In mediation, he even called what would be happening before it happened VERBATIM!!! Listen to this advisor - he is the real deal and he gives a sh-- about his clients. Don't waste time on crap he says is a waste of time (and often money). Relax a bit - I know it is hard to believe for some, like me.
Reasonably available during the paperwork process, but 100% available when it really matters (when the iron was hot).
Good man and lawyer. I recommend highly.

I absolutely would recommend Mr. Schwarz. He is an outstanding lawyer who has demonstrated his excellence in legal matters on more than one occasion for me. His character, integrity and professionalism are impressive and rare! There are countless attorneys in Atlanta; however, there are very few with his intelligence, integrity, and dedication.

Attorney Ashley Miller was an amazing attorney for me during my divorce and beyond. She's highly professional and knowledgeable. My settlement would not have been so substantial without her on my side - encouraging me during a very difficult time, protecting my interests, and being thorough in her research for my case. She is OUTSTANDING!

I've been dealing with Ashley Miller since 2012. Attorney Miller brings experience, knowledge and just as important common sense. I trust her and her opinions. She is always prepared and her presentations to the Court are competent, in terms of the legal issues and well received. I will continue using the services of the Law firm of Gross & Miller and highly recommend Ashley Miller for legal assistance in her areas of expertise.

Richard Farnsworth is the sole reason I have my kids back in my life.
There are certain keywords a mother can utter in regards to a father in a separation that will make the legal system act in a manner that is "protective" to the child but only if the father is totally dismissed as the stereotypical caricature.
Richard was able to first expose the false accusations for what they were and get them dismissed. he worked in the best interest of my children and was able to get a fair custody split that ensures the children know the love of both parents and allows them to prosper as individuals instead of trophies in a financial dispute.

The judge at the court told me: "You have a very good attorney", and I absolutely agree with her. Mr. Farnsworth has a lot of experience and knowledge and I would absolutely recommend him
.
He changed a contested divorce which seemed to be endless and never settled to an uncontested case within a short time and that for a reasonable prize. He kept me informed all the time and explained every detail of the process.

We engaged Vernadette for advice a particularly painful situation we were experiencing. We paid her the retainer and she successfully guided us through the minefield. With her help, we decided on a course of action and moved on agreeing that we would call her if something else came up with this case. Nothing did and three years later she came back to us offering a refund on our unused retainer. I was floored by the exception show of integrity. I would highly recommend Vernadette to anyone interested in a smart, compassionate and reputable lawyer.

Atty. Brussert made power moves in my case on my behalf; there’s no way I would have known the strategies he used had I gone solo. I truly believe that he made the difference in my divorce case…which by the way, was awarded in my favor. I’m so glad I retained him. You will be, too.

I came to Mr. Conowal with a rather complicated divorce on the referral of a friend. I got more than an attorney. He was a partner who genuinely cared about my case and expertly led me through the process, leading to a favorable settlement. His staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. No doubt I would highly recommend hiring this skilled and seasoned attorney.

I cannot speak highly enough of Jordan Hendrick for his exceptional expertise and dedication throughout my child support contempt case. From the very first consultation, it was clear that he possesses a profound understanding of family law and a genuine compassion for his clients.
Jordan took on my case that was more challenging than it should have been, yet he handled it with remarkable skill and determination. His no-nonsense, straightforward approach was refreshing, coupled with his unwavering commitment to securing the best possible outcome for my case.
Throughout this difficult time, Jordan provided clear guidance, a meticulous attention to detail, and a sense of reassurance that I greatly appreciate. His ability to balance legal prowess with heartfelt empathy truly sets him apart.
I must also mention his amazing paralegal, Danielle, whose organizational skills and attention to detail were invaluable throughout the process. Together with the supportive office staff, they created a team that was truly remarkable.
What truly impressed me was Jordan’s ability to manage my very difficult ex-husband with grace and professionalism. He listened attentively to my concerns, offered insightful advice, and ensured that every aspect of my case was thoroughly addressed.
Thanks to Jordan and his exceptional team, I not only received the support my children deserved but also a sense of closure and peace of mind. I wholeheartedly recommend Jordan Hendrick and Abernathy Ditzel Hendrick, LLC to anyone in need of a brilliant legal mind, a compassionate advocate, and a team that goes above and beyond. Thank you, Jordan, for truly making a difference in my life and the lives of my children.

I cannot give enough accolades to Attorney Ryan Mullins and all of the team that I worked with at Vayman & Teitelbaum. I do not live in Georgia, Montana to be exact, and had to immediately find an attorney in Georgia to handle a custody matter. Finding a new attorney on a very short time frame was very nerve racking for me. After reading reviews on line - I consulted with numerous attorneys - and ultimately went with Ryan Mullins. She was so wonderful to work with. Listened openly and attentively to my concerns and thoughts, provided me with great professional suggestions and opinions, and overall just made what could have been a very unpleasant custody situation "easy" for me. Furthermore, her and her team were efficient in handling matters and responding. There is no way I could begin to express how much I recommend Ryan Mullins and her team. I wish I could give 100 stars!

I’m Kai... This Review is about Michael Schlifka and Lisa Jackson, both who ended up being heaven sent angels in my life! Michael and Lisa are two of the most supportive, heart felt, hard working, determined, people I’ve ever met.. Im blessed Michael was my divorce attorney, and that Lisa was the paralegal over my divorce case.. They were an AWESOME team over my case, my divorce was everything BUT pretty. My ex wife and I have 2 kids together, my ex demanded the divorce but was being very difficult with the kids. It had even got to the point where I was set up by my ex, and my character was assassinated by my ex. To try to obtain full custody of the kids.
Through it ALL Michael stayed by my side, and fought for me and my kids diligently and affectively. Michaels sense of compassion but ability to be firm when need be is on point! Michael really knows his stuff, and fought for me tooth and nail! He did not give up on me or my case, he showed up to every court date, every hearing, and fought so hard for me. Sometimes I sit back, and thank god for bringing Michael and Lisa into my life. And putting Michael as my attorney over my divorce.. When I began my divorce, I knew nothing about divorce. Was highly hurt and emotional. Heartbroken is an understatement..
I googled divorce attorneys, not knowing where to start. I came across Meriwether and Tharpe, got put in touch with Michael Schlifka. And the rest is history.. Michael always kept my kids and I best interest in mind, and never gave up on my case. My divorce was LONG and drawn out, but he stayed by my side. He answered every email every phone call, and was highly effective. In the end of my case, due to Michael’s drive and will not to give up. My divorce worked out perfectly, everything went how I wanted! I couldn’t have asked for a better attorney!.. Lisa Jackson is a very determined hard working paralegal! Lisa was there every step of the way also, she never gave up on me either. Lisa is very professional, very heart felt, and very supportive also. Lisa’s communication is ON POINT!
She kept me updated on everything, and any information I needed to submit. She was always sure to let me know, she reached out when need be by phone call or email anytime I needed to know anything. Lisa has a spirit of gold! Lisa was also heaven sent to me!.. Any questions or concerns I had, Lisa was right there to make sure she answered them. She did and awesome job, at keeping all of my case information in order. Also being sure that everything was submitted and on point, Lisa is just as hard working as Michael. I’m blessed that Michael and Lisa are hard working, determined, caring, and persistent people. They were a GREAT legal team over my divorce case. My divorce was long, drawn out, and ugly..
BUT thanks to Michael and Lisa, my case ended the right way. I am more than thrilled with the outcome, they both worked hard and diligently to be sure my outcome was the best. I am forever grateful, and blessed for Michael Schlifka and Lisa Jackson!

Michael was kind and compassionate about my terrible situation. My divorce was very unpleasant. He worked with me (and my ex-husband) to get to a very specific parenting plan and next 8 or 9 years plan. We agreed to co-parent 50/50 and maintain the "homestead" 50/50 until the last child graduates but MAN it was hard to get to that point. All the anger - he worked with me and often times I took out my anger on he and his team of paralegals (who were all wonderful!). He never had any anger back, mostly just some humor. He understood me. He took time to understand the unreasonable situation I was in and worked hard to get a great settlement. We didn't even have to go to court! Thanks so much Michael Schlifka!

I couldn't ask for a better lawyer. If you're looking for an lawyer that knows the law, look no further. The worst part is that he can't be divided in to a hundred pieces to help everyone. So if you have been wronged, know that you are looking at someone that can make it right.

Ms. Williams put together my explanation letter perfectly. I was given my ATT and official license after passing NCLEX with no delays or stipulations. Ms. Williams's whole team was amazing throughout my process and available for any questions or concerns I had. I can't thank them enough.

Attorney Crayon is the absolute best in the business, period. When faced with whistleblower retaliation, I initially searched for information online and ran across his videos and decided to contact him for advice- surprisingly, he consulted with me for FREE (this included reviewing all my documents and being very responsive to my questions) which was very helpful - as the case progressed, I decided to use his limited service for budgeted representation which greatly helped me comply with deadlines and case requirements. Eventually, I decided to convert to full representation as this process tends to be confusing, you can have a great case, but can blow it by missing deadlines etc, This process was made much easier as he posts case related documents, upcoming dates/events on his client portal and you can review case documents and interact with him there anytime. Having Attorney Crayon representation proved to be very effective, as he was able to obtain key evidence in the discovery process that I did not have access to that was instrumental to my case. I strongly believe this is the reason the agency decided to settle the case favorably as we got closer to the hearing date due to Attorney Crayon willingness to pursue and press the agency on my case that was poised to prevail. In settlement, Attorney Crayon was able to obtain full reimbursement of my attorney fees!! There are simply not enough words that I could say that would adequately reflect how great Attorney Crayon has been. I have no doubt the reason my case outcome was favorable was solely due to him. From the beginning, he was up front, honest, and gave his full attention whenever I spoke to him. Thank you Attorney Crayon for your dedication to my case and ensuring I received the favorable outcome I deserved! Many thanks to your assistant (LK) she was amazing too!

After seeing this woman on TikTok I would not hire her. She is obviously bias, sexist and uses social media to spread propaganda about women. Considering not all “clients” tell the truth, it is irresponsible to spread information not confirmed in a court of law. I would rather the lawyer I hire spend her time on the case at hand not on TikTok. Be wary of this woman.

Sierra Kimbrell was highly recommended to me. I must say, I was not disappointed! It was immediately apparent to me that she was very knowledgeable in family law.

I was extremely impressed with Sierra’s compassion but also her immense knowledge of the law and her ability to explain it to me in ways that made sense. When I came out and asked if she could be a “bulldog” she confidentially said yes and as my case moved forward she definitely lived up to that expectation! I was very confident in her ability to represent me well and she did an excellent job. I would definitely use Sierra again and will be referring her to others.

I’m not someone who typically writes reviews, unless I’m really frustrated by a negative experience. After my mom passed away recently, my life felt completely chaotic. Thankfully, I discovered Latawsha, who guided me through the probate process during this tough time. If I had chosen that well-known probate firm I initially spoke to, I would have paid five times more for the same bottom line service. I hope I never have to face probate again, but if I do, I’ll know exactly who to turn to first.
Thank you to the entire team over at Georgia Will and Probate.

What a Child Support Lawyer Can Do for You
A child support lawyer specializes in legal issues related to the financial support that one parent provides to another for the upbringing of their children. These lawyers assist with establishing, enforcing, and modifying child support orders, ensuring that the financial needs of the child are met, including housing, food, healthcare, education, and other essentials. A child support lawyer can also represent parents in disputes over the amount of support, ensure fair calculations based on income, and handle legal proceedings if one parent fails to meet their obligations.
Whether you're seeking to establish child support, modify an existing order, or enforce payments, a child support lawyer can help you navigate the legal system and protect your rights and the well-being of your child.
When Should I Hire a Child Support Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a child support lawyer when you need assistance with any of the following child support matters:
- Establishing child support: If you are going through a divorce or separation and need to establish a child support order, a lawyer can help ensure that the support amount is fair and accurately calculated.
- Modifying child support orders: If there has been a significant change in circumstances, such as a job loss, income change, or a child's financial needs, a lawyer can help you request a modification to the existing child support order.
- Enforcing child support payments: If the other parent has failed to make court-ordered child support payments, a lawyer can help enforce the order through legal means such as wage garnishment, property liens, or even legal action.
- Disputing child support calculations: If you believe the child support amount has been incorrectly calculated based on your income or expenses, a lawyer can help you challenge the calculation and seek a fair adjustment.
- Paternity disputes: If paternity needs to be established before child support can be ordered, a lawyer can assist with DNA testing and legal proceedings.
- Interstate child support cases: If the parents live in different states, navigating child support laws can be complex. A lawyer can help ensure the proper jurisdiction is established and that child support is enforced across state lines.
- Child support during custody disputes: If child custody and child support are being determined simultaneously, a lawyer can help ensure that both issues are resolved fairly and in the best interest of the child.
Hiring a lawyer early can help ensure that your child support case is handled effectively and that your child's financial needs are met.
What Does a Child Support Lawyer Do?
A child support lawyer provides a variety of legal services to help parents secure, modify, and enforce child support arrangements. Their responsibilities often include:
- Filing for child support: A lawyer can help you initiate the legal process to obtain a child support order, ensuring that all necessary documentation is submitted and deadlines are met.
- Calculating child support: A lawyer can help ensure that child support is calculated fairly based on both parents' incomes, the needs of the child, and other factors such as healthcare and education costs.
- Negotiating child support agreements: If both parents are willing to negotiate, a lawyer can help facilitate an agreement on child support outside of court, which can then be approved by a judge.
- Representing you in court: If negotiations fail or the other parent contests the child support amount, a lawyer will represent you in family court, presenting evidence and making legal arguments to support your case.
- Modifying support orders: A lawyer can help you file a request for modification if circumstances change, such as a loss of income or an increase in the child’s financial needs.
- Enforcing child support: If the other parent is not making court-ordered payments, a lawyer can take legal steps to enforce the order through wage garnishment, property liens, or other measures.
- Handling complex cases: In cases involving high incomes, self-employment, or complicated financial situations, a lawyer can help ensure that all relevant factors are considered in determining child support.
How Are Child Support Lawyers Paid?
Child support lawyers typically charge for their services based on the complexity of the case and the type of legal work required. Common payment methods include:
- Hourly rate: Most child support lawyers charge by the hour, with rates ranging from $150 to $500 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience and location. The total cost will depend on how much time the lawyer spends on your case, including preparation, negotiations, and court appearances.
- Flat fee: For more straightforward cases, such as uncontested child support agreements or basic modifications, some lawyers may offer a flat fee that covers all services related to the case.
- Retainer: Many lawyers require a retainer, which is an upfront payment that is billed against as the lawyer works on your case. The amount of the retainer depends on the expected complexity of the case.
- Sliding scale or pro bono services: Some lawyers offer sliding scale fees based on income or provide pro bono (free) services in cases where clients cannot afford to pay full legal fees, especially when children’s needs are at stake.
It’s important to discuss fees with your lawyer during the initial consultation to understand how much you will be charged and what services are covered.
How Much Does a Child Support Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a child support lawyer varies depending on the complexity of the case, whether it's contested or uncontested, and the lawyer’s experience. General cost estimates include:
- Uncontested child support cases: Legal fees may range from $1,500 to $5,000, depending on the complexity of the paperwork and the lawyer’s fees.
- Contested child support cases: Legal fees can range from $5,000 to $20,000 or more, especially if the case involves significant court time.
- Hourly rates: Lawyers typically charge between $150 and $500 per hour for child support cases, with higher rates for more experienced attorneys or cases that involve complex financial issues.
- Modification or enforcement: Fees for modifying or enforcing a child support order may range from $2,000 to $10,000, depending on the complexity and the need for court intervention.
Always ask for a detailed cost estimate during your consultation so you can plan your budget accordingly.
Top Questions to Ask a Child Support Lawyer
Before hiring a child support lawyer, it’s important to ask questions to ensure they are the right fit for your case. Key questions to ask include:
-
What experience do you have with child support cases?
Ensure the lawyer has experience handling cases similar to yours, whether it’s establishing, modifying, or enforcing child support orders. -
How do you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, offers flat fees, or requires a retainer, and ask for a detailed estimate of the total cost. -
What is the likelihood of success in my case?
Ask the lawyer for an honest assessment of your case and any potential challenges you may face. -
How long will the process take?
Child support cases can take time, so ask the lawyer how long they expect the process to last and what factors may cause delays. -
Will you personally handle my case?
In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may handle parts of the case. Make sure you know who will be managing your case and representing you in court. -
What documents should I prepare?
Ask the lawyer what financial documents and other information you should bring to help them calculate child support and build your case.
How to Check the Credibility of a Child Support Lawyer
To ensure you are hiring a reputable child support lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and track record:
- Verify their bar status: Check with your state bar association to confirm that the lawyer is licensed to practice and has no history of disciplinary actions.
- Look for family law experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in family law and have successfully handled child support 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 the lawyer’s professionalism and success rate.
- Ask for references: A credible lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who have worked with them on child support matters.
- Check for certifications: Some lawyers may have certifications in family law or membership in organizations like the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML), which can indicate their expertise in child support and family law issues.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make the most out of your first consultation with a child support lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:
- Income documents: Bring pay stubs, tax returns, W-2s, or any other documentation of your income and the other parent’s income, as this will be used to calculate child support.
- Existing child support orders: If there are any existing child support or custody orders, bring copies for the lawyer to review.
- Child-related expenses: Provide documentation of your child’s medical bills, education expenses, daycare costs, and any other expenses that should be factored into the child support calculation.
- Communication with the other parent: Bring any communication between you and the other parent regarding child support, whether through emails, text messages, or written agreements.
- List of questions: Prepare a list of questions about your case, the legal process, and the lawyer’s fees.
By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can help the lawyer assess your case more effectively and provide the best possible legal advice on how to proceed.
