Ross Gordon is the lawyer you want. Don't waste your time and money going anywhere else. He's amazing!! I live in a very strict county yet he had my case dismissed!! He is highly intelligent, a fighter, and without a doubt, someone you want on your side. He didn't give me any false hope, he absolutely followed through with his word. Hopefully I'll never need him again, but if I do, I would not hesitate to have him represent me again. 10/10 would recommend

I want to personally thank Mr. Wosnik. He recently represented me in my divorce case. I came to him from an attorney that I did not feel understood me or the gravity of my case. Mr. Wosnik really heard me out and acted in the best interest of my family. He cared. Instead of treating me like “another client”, he made me feel like I had someone that would really defend me and fight for me. He did just that. He was patient and understanding. He delivered great results. I would highly recommend his services.

I want to first thank Wosnik Law for such an AMAZING Job. They helped me this week with my son’s case. Mr. Wosnik is so kind and soft spoken, he will tell you upfront what to expect. Everything he told me exceeded my expectations beyond human understanding. I went to court with Mr. Robbie and the judge 👨‍⚖️ gave us a dismissal of additional probation. I know it was the gracious hand ✋ of God working through the attorneys but I have to give them credit for their professionalism, knowledge, wisdom and understanding. My son was granted a second chance at life at 22 years of age.He was facing prison time for a probation violation. If I had 10,000 tongues I couldn’t thank you enough and also for a great 😊 price!

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. This is seemingly so simple but apparently other attorneys have issues with this. We were able to get everything signed and in motion extremely quickly. 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.

Followed all his recommendations and after serving the so called mental rehab facility with a formal petition to discharge my husband on a Friday at 455 pm and multiple hours of patiently waiting for my motion to be received by an employee that never gave it to him.. Guess what happened?? The same medical staff that said to my husband that petition won’t do anything called me the very next day at 9am stating that my husband was going to be discharged in a couple of minutes.. FOLLOW ALL HIS RECOMMENDATIONS! Yes the motion was one of the recommendations but some other magical touches expedited everything but I will let him share that with you as he knows what he’s doing and will definitely provide you with the best advice.

We wanted to express our utmost gratitude to Joel Pugh and Associates in defending our 12-year-old daughter during an unexpected legal matter. Their professionalism, dedication, and community connections made a significant difference in our experience and led to a just outcome. 
From our initial consultation, it was clear that Joel possessed extensive knowledge of juvenile law. His deep understanding of the legal issues at hand was complemented by strong connections within the community, which proved invaluable. These relationships allowed him to navigate our case effectively and advocate for our daughter with authority. Throughout this difficult time, Joel and his team exhibited remarkable patience and kindness. They understood that this was an emotional journey for our family and treated us with respect and empathy. Their attentive listening and willingness to address our concerns helped alleviate much of our anxiety. We highly recommend Joel Pugh and Associates for anyone seeking legal representation, especially in matters involving children. Their combination of professional expertise, compassionate support, effective communication, community connections, and successful outcomes sets them apart as an exceptional law firm. We are incredibly grateful for their assistance during this challenging chapter in our lives. S A Khan

Exceptional Divorce Attorney – A Fierce Advocate for Justice Going through a highly contested divorce is one of the most difficult experiences a person can endure, and having the right attorney makes all the difference. After a traumatic experience with my first attorney—who was ultimately fired from her firm—I knew I needed someone aggressive, strategic, and unshakable in the courtroom. After extensive research, I found Candice Davis, and hiring her was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. My divorce was contentious, with an ex-wife who demanded everything and refused to compromise, and an opposing attorney who was more of a ruthless bully than a professional. I needed someone who could not only defend me but turn the tide in my favor—and Candice did exactly that. From day one, she was laser-focused, well-prepared, and fearless. In court, she absolutely devastated my ex-wife on the stand and completely unraveled the opposing attorney’s aggressive tactics. He was so off balance that he resorted to making nonsensical statements while I was testifying. Candice’s sharp legal mind, commanding presence, and ability to expose contradictions turned the case in my favor. The final hearing’s outcome was extremely favorable, and I owe it entirely to Candice’s skill, preparation, and tenacity. She took what felt like an impossible situation and delivered justice and peace of mind. If you need an attorney who will fight relentlessly for you, outmaneuver the opposition, and secure the best possible outcome, look no further than Candice Davis. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

They were already convinced to not violate me before they called me in! Amazing work! Now he will get my case dismissed quick!

I was fortunate to have Hill Duvernay represent me. Duvernay technically top-notch, but even more importantly she genuinely cares about her clients and their families. She is tough when needed, but does so with grace. I trust her completely, have the utmost confidence in her abilities and would recommend her for any and all cases.

The lawyer is very pleasant and respectful. I. My experience may not be your experience when I call this Law Firm I let Diego that my insurance would not be taken responsibility for this accident. I asked him if they could still represent me. He said yes, they would get a copy of the police report. And try to get the charges dismissed. My first meeting with the lawyer representing this Law Firm was with a young lady. She came late to the courthouse, she wanted me to fill out a pretrial intervention form. I informed her that I couldn't fill out that form because my insurance was not taking responsibility for this accident. She asked me how do you know the insurance company has to take a responsibility? I said because it's written on the the paper. She said well let's fill it out anyway, she filled it out. I asked the young lady to have Miss Duvernay call me. When Miss Duvernay called me, I said, I had informed you that I my insurance was not taking responsibility for this accident. So I don't know I can't do the pretrial intervention. She said, you didn't inform me because I don't answer the calls. I said well I am from Santiago, she said you mean Diego I said yes maybe we can get it dismissed on the fact that he didn't give you a police report. We're on the same page now I understand. Now before my next court date I called Diego to ask him to describe the person that was coming to meet me if it wasn't going to be Miss Duvernay. He said , well we only work with two other ladies so it would be one of them preview when I got to the courthouse a gentleman call me on the phone asking me where I was located. He said I'm here to pick up the pretrial intervention form. I said okay I'm getting frustrated now I've already told Miss Duvernay is that my insurance is not taking responsibility for this accident. So he went and got a copy of the form, he said I read it I was hoping it didn't indicate that's the insurance had to take responsibility for the accident but it does. Miss Duvernay call me later that evening, she said, I thought you wanted to go ahead with it. I said that I can't do pretrial my insurance is not taking responsibility for the accident. A court date was set and missed, because I wasn't informed of the court date I just happened to check my mail, while checking my mailbox I realize that he got a failure to appear. The first thing I did was to send a message to Miss Duvernay. When she sent me a message back it started off with: "first of all..."The Law Firm did send a lawyer to go fix it. Her name Kristen Clark. I was told to wait for my next court date, the law firm would inform me. I did not believe them so I called for my next court date. They did not show, there were two other court date set they did not show for either one of those court dates. The judge even called the law firm they still miss the court date. It took a Google review Duvernay and the chargeback. She told me she had conflicts in the court should have known about it. There was only one problem she wasn't assigned to my case unless she was Kristen Clark. She did show up the next court date, but during the third Miss court date I was asked, if I wanted a public defender, I said yes. But when Ms Duvernay asked me to give her a chance I said okay since it wasn't her that was supposed to show up. Now I was told signed up with this Law Firm they would get a copy of this police report. But the public defender delivered it to me and I had to take it to the law firm. On the trial date we were supposed to meet at 9:15 because the trial was at 10:00. Miss Duvernay as with every court appearance we made she came at 9:40, I could excuse that but at 9:40 was when she told me all the evidence I had ,was usable. They had the information for a year. My Insurance indicated that they were looking at the cars damages. She did not ask for the pictures. So we went in the court with nothing. I had a diagram of the damage. Miss Duvernay asked, what's that? It was then I realized that nothing I uploaded was looked at.

As a father I pursued custody of my daughter twice due to continued substance issues with her mother. After being unsuccessful in my first case, I hired Catie and was able to get my second case moved to Cherokee county. Not only were we successful in being awarded custody but I was also awarded attorney fees. Catie and her team provided excellent communication throughout the entire process and delivered the desired results for my family. Thank you and I highly recommend Catie.

I had the privilege of working with Jennifer Gower Side and her paralegal, Scarlett, during a difficult family law matter, and I couldn’t be more impressed with their professionalism, expertise, and compassionate approach. From our initial consultation to the final resolution, Jennifer took the time to fully understand my situation and provided clear, honest advice every step of the way. What stood out most was their ability to navigate the emotional complexity of my case while ensuring that all legal aspects were handled thoroughly and efficiently. They communicated with me regularly, answering any questions I had and addressing my concerns promptly, which helped alleviate a lot of stress during a challenging time. I was particularly grateful for Jennifer’s attention to detail and her proactive approach to resolving issues before they became bigger problems. Her knowledge of family law is extensive, and she was able to provide solid strategies that worked in my best interest. Thanks to Jennifer, I feel that I not only received expert legal representation, but I was also treated with kindness and respect throughout the process. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a skilled and caring family law attorney.

I had the pleasure of working with Alyson for nearly 4 years on a divorce case with a covert narcissist who suffers from various mental health issues in addition to his personality disorder. It was a nasty and stressful case with a completely uncooperative defendant but ultimately it ended up in a total, outstanding victory for me and I can unequivocally say that it was due in large part to Alyson being my attorney. Pause and take a deep breath...I hope your case won't be like mine but if you suspect that you might be in for a ride, stop, get on your knees and thank the Lord that you came across this review. If you're a serious person who is doing your best to do the right thing then Alyson is your attorney. You will not find a more knowledgeable, capable, and respected attorney in the metro-Atlanta area. In fact in my search for a lawyer, Alyson Lembeck's name came up multiple times both from highly respected professionals who work with the court system and recently divorced people in my network. These people did not know each other and I have since thanked them profusely for their recommendation. Alyson is a Top 50 Woman Lawyer in Atlanta who can help you not only as a divorce attorney, but with your prenuptials or as a Guardian ad Litem amongst other services. During my time working with her, I NEVER felt nickeled and dimed, her fees and billing were fair and she was always professional and accessible. Alyson is calm under pressure, strategic and analytical. She's a fierce fighter but not in a dramatic or superficial sense, instead she is laser - focused on asking the questions that quickly reveal the heart of the matter and the first time that you see her in action in a court room you're going to thank God that you both are on the same side. She is not distracted by silly answers or deflection - she is not there to socialize although everyone knows who she is and respects her from the Judges on down. Instead she is there simply to fight for you and the comfort that provides during an otherwise stressful process in priceless. At the same time that I was represented by Alyson, my ex was busy burning through lawyers and I got to witness how dangerous it is to both not be represented by good counsel and not respect court orders - the probability is very high that you are going to crash and burn and no one will be there to pick up the pieces. In addition to paying tens of thousands of dollars to me, my ex wound up going to jail because he did not respect the court system and I had a lawyer who understood that holding him accountable was important to me. To anyone contemplating divorce - be smart about it! Meet with Alyson and discuss your biggest concerns before you even think about filing - she can help you navigate those issues. There are so many restrictions placed on you and your spouse the day that you file for divorce and investing in a little planning can make a world of difference. The law is often times not intuitive, you'll hear conflicting advice from your friends and family and even if you scroll legal forums for months, the true answer may be very different from what you thought. Because there is so much on the table in a divorce, you really cannot afford to play around from a time or financial perspective. Even through the final hearing, Alyson was not only fighting for me, but setting me up for future success by making sure certain key facts went on the record so that should I need to come back to court for contempt, which is highly likely, future legal actions would be more likely to work in my favor. I was both in awe and so appreciative of her foresight and wisdom. In wrapping this up, I want to give you a few pieces of advice. Your lawyer is not a therapist or a private detective - therapists and private detectives are cheaper. Have a good support team in place and understand that no matter how good your attorney is, at the end of the day you are the subject matter expert on your case!

Alyson Lembeck is utterly unflappable, focused, knowledgeable, and efficient. Her associates and staff are all professional, kind, and responsive. I never had to follow up with them for responses, which, as an attorney myself, I know is exceedingly unusual. She and her team provided support and guidance during the scariest time of my life. I hope to never need her firm again, but I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone else going through a divorce, especially in a high-conflict situation involving contested custody.

Alyson assisted with me with a post-Divorce Settlement Agreement where the OP was seeking alimony in perpetuity by exploiting weaknesses in the contract language. She was timely, client focused and highly thoughtful throughout the process. She and her firm were masterful and polished with all pleadings and filings. Billing was painless and fair. She selected an impressive mediator and swiftly brought the case to a close. This firm blew me away and brought me to tears. They helped me to feel understood and reassured. You won’t second guess yourself while working with them. Be honest and true. They are on the good side and masterful at family law.

Tracy was a God given angel to me and my family. I was charged with false allegations and sent a TPO. After consulting with Tracy, she handled the case and told me to not speak at the hearing. I am normally a very strong willed person, but she went in and got the JOB DONE. I was awarded fees in the hearing. She proved that this plaintiff was a liar and acted upon malicious and retaliatory purposes. Not only did Tracy admonish the plaintiff, the judge did as well given Tracy's arguments' and defense strategy.

My husband at the time literally stole my inheritance. When I confronted him, he attacked me, I fought back and I got charged with battery because he called the cops first. Then he did a a TPO and barred me from seeing my children. With all these charges, Tracy was referred to me by a good friend. Once she was on the case, everything turned in my favor. She was able to give me custody of my kids while I had a TPO on me which never happens. She also got my battery case dismissed. My husband told me he wished she was his attorney and said that will be our family attorney. All I can say was she was a rock when I was at my lowest point and she got me through it. Her knowledge of the criminal justice system and TPOs are amazing. If you hire her, you will not be disappointed.

I was in my cell never been to jail before. I was scared in an unknown space. Disconnected from my world and my freedom I didn’t know what my future was going to be. On rock bottom. I was called for an attorney visit a very energetic bubbly blonde woman with a MCM bag begins to speak to me I automatically felt safe she told me her creditials and I automatically had a little hope. Tracy was humble, fun and energetic. You wouldn’t know how big of a deal she is because she is so humble I can’t come up with any other words to describe her. She got my TPO dismisses between me and my wife she was diplomatic with my in-laws she even came to my divorce hearing to make sure everything was safe. She works tirelessly and ethically. She is a joy for the justice system here in Georgia and you won’t find a better attorney here in Georgia

I called Mr. Hirsch recently to ask for help in a potential fraud case. After spending an hour calling one department of the Atlanta police after the other and getting nowhere, I called Mr. Hirsch in desperation. Even though I am the victim of the fraud and Mr. Hirsch is a defense attorney, he seemed to care greatly for my well being and for my predicament. He provided me with a ton of good information and made me feel better about the terrible situation that I have found myself in. He talked with me for over 30 minutes even though he knew he would not be representing me. It is so nice to find a decent and caring attorney who will try to help when you are in a time of need. I hope that I never need his services, but if I ever do find myself in need of legal help for a mistake I made, the first call I will make with be to Matt Hirsch.

Mulligan Law has been nothing short of a pure blessing to my entire family. Mrs.Annie showed compassion and kindness throughout my process. I didn’t have to call and get information on my case. She was in constant control and the communication was amazing. I was referred to her by a coworker and I am very happy and pleased with the work she did and her staff. She was affordable and worked with my schedule throughout the process. All the mediations I had to attend were set up with ease and I didn’t feel pressured with making decisions. All my meetings were informative, she was always prepared and helpful with all the questions and concerns I had. Her professionalism was unmatched!! I am thankful I had her by my side. I got everything I needed and wanted. If you’re looking for an attorney who will fight for your rights to the end , look no further!!!! Call Annie. Best Lawyer I’ve ever had. Thank you and your staff for all the hard work, late evenings, early morning meetings, court appointments, mediations put together to provide the best possible outcome for my family.

This man is worth every single penny. WORTH IT. I have never seen an attorney more prepared and ready to attack in court. Custody court was mentally the toughest thing I had ever gone through along with living 300 miles away. Mike helped me through every step. He made sure I was clear on everything and understood what was going on at all times. We had telephone conferences and I only had to come in office a few times. His ability to recollect laws and cases in court is astounding and he made my ex’s lawyer look like he’d never been to law school or passed a bar exam a day in his life. Mike came fully prepared to rock my ex’s world and did. I have FULL SOLE CUSTODY with supervised visits for the other party. If I had to do it all over again he’s the ONLY attorney I would consider. I wish he actually practiced in the state I live in.

After a pre- consultation with Mr. Head. He gave me free advice to help assist my Attorney. Upon realizing Mr. Head’s expertise. I decided to release my Attorney and hire him. Mr. Head went to bat for me and had my charges reduced to a lesser offense. Mr. Head is one of the hardest working Attorneys out there and he will work hard for you.

You will not find a more experienced attorney who will get you the best possible outcome in your case than Bubba Head. A very well respected attorney in Atlanta referred me to him for my personal injury claim resulting from being rear ended in a car accident. My case was complicated and Bubba knew how to navigate through the multiple layers. Ultimately, Bubba wrote a masterful Holt demand letter that included all of the details of the incident and resulted in the company granting our full request. Besides being the most competent attorney you can hire he is the most compassionate attorney you will find. He understood the nature of my injuries as well as the associated stress of the accident and was supportive throughout the process of my recovery.

What a Domestic Violence Lawyer Can Do for You

A domestic violence lawyer provides legal assistance to individuals involved in cases of domestic abuse, whether you are a victim seeking protection or someone accused of domestic violence defending against the charges. These lawyers help with obtaining restraining orders (protective orders), representing clients in criminal court, and handling related family law issues such as child custody, divorce, and visitation rights.

If you are dealing with domestic violence, a lawyer can help protect your rights and navigate the legal system to ensure your safety or defend you if you’re falsely accused.

When Should I Hire a Domestic Violence Lawyer?

You should consider hiring a domestic violence lawyer if you are:

  • A Victim of Domestic Violence:
    • Filing for a protective order (restraining order): If you need immediate protection from an abuser, a lawyer can help you file for a protective order, which legally requires the abuser to stay away from you and refrain from contacting you.
    • Divorce or separation due to abuse: If domestic violence is a factor in your relationship, a lawyer can help you pursue a divorce or legal separation and ensure that you are protected throughout the process.
    • Child custody and visitation issues: A lawyer can help you secure custody of your children and limit or restrict the abuser’s visitation rights to protect the safety of your children.
    • Filing criminal charges: If you are pursuing criminal charges against the abuser, a domestic violence lawyer can work with law enforcement and prosecutors to ensure the case is handled properly.
    • Assistance with safety planning: A lawyer can advise on the legal steps to create a safety plan, including securing temporary housing, and taking steps to protect you and your family.
  • Accused of Domestic Violence:
    • Defending against criminal charges: If you’ve been accused of domestic violence, a lawyer can defend your case, challenge the evidence, and represent you in court. If possible, the lawyer can help get charges reduced or dismissed.
    • Challenging a restraining order: If someone has obtained a protective order against you, a lawyer can help you contest the order to prevent it from negatively impacting your life, including your employment and child custody rights.
    • Dealing with family law issues: Domestic violence allegations can affect child custody, divorce, and property division. A lawyer can represent your interests in family court and ensure that your parental rights are protected.
    • Avoiding criminal record implications: A lawyer can work to minimize the impact of the allegations on your record, which can affect your employment, housing, and future legal matters.

Hiring a lawyer at the earliest stages can help ensure your rights are protected and the case is handled effectively, whether you are seeking protection or defending against accusations.

What Does a Domestic Violence Lawyer Do?

A domestic violence lawyer provides various legal services depending on the specifics of your case. These responsibilities often include:

  • For Victims:
    • Filing for protective orders: A lawyer can help victims of domestic violence obtain temporary or permanent restraining orders, which provide legal protection by restricting the abuser’s access to you and your children.
    • Representing you in divorce and child custody matters: Domestic violence often leads to divorce or separation, and a lawyer can represent you in family court to protect your assets, secure custody of your children, and arrange spousal and child support.
    • Criminal representation: Lawyers work with law enforcement and prosecutors to pursue criminal charges against the abuser, ensuring that you are informed and supported throughout the legal process.
    • Safety planning and legal advice: Lawyers provide advice on how to stay safe legally and can assist in securing temporary housing, providing guidance on how to leave abusive situations safely.
  • For the Accused:
    • Defending against charges: A lawyer will build a defense by investigating the case, gathering evidence, and challenging the claims made against you. If necessary, the lawyer can negotiate with prosecutors to reduce charges or penalties.
    • Challenging protective orders: If a restraining order has been placed against you, a lawyer can contest the order and present evidence to defend against it, aiming to minimize its impact on your life and reputation.
    • Handling related family law issues: Lawyers help defend against domestic violence allegations in divorce, child custody, and visitation disputes, working to protect your parental rights and reputation.
    • Preventing long-term consequences: A lawyer will work to protect you from the long-term consequences of a domestic violence conviction, such as a criminal record that could affect employment, housing, and more.

How Are Domestic Violence Lawyers Paid?

Domestic violence lawyers generally charge for their services in different ways depending on the case's complexity and the type of legal work involved. Common payment structures include:
