Rachel is a wonderful attorney. She has been a Godsend to me. I don’t know what I would have done without her. I had a previous attorney working on my divorce case and was getting nowhere. I contacted Rachel and she was kind enough to take my case. She stayed in close contact with me through out and I felt that she really cared about me and getting me the best settlement that she could. I am blessed to know her and she makes this world a better place. She has even reached out to me after my case was over to check on me and see how I was doing. She is truly kind hearted and I will be forever grateful to her.

I recently hired Rachel for a child custody case. She is the consummate professional, knows the law like the back of her hand and I always felt like she genuinely cared about me and my children. She had to deal with an extremely unprofessional and just downright obnoxious and petulant opposing counsel but she never backed down. Kept her cool and always prevailed. She had my back all the time. We, unfortunately, ended up going to trial and she was incredible in court. Thank you, Rachel!

Thank you Rachel!

Working with The Fairell Firm was an outstanding experience, and I can confidently say they live up to their reputation. I have referred several people to them over the years, and every single one of them was pleased with their service, professionalism, and how the team helped them achieve their goals. This was the first time I utilized their services for myself, and I can now say firsthand just how exceptional they are.
From the start, they displayed a deep understanding of the legal process and walked me through every detail with care and expertise. Their ability to anticipate challenges and prepare me for things I hadn’t even considered was invaluable. They went above and beyond to ensure I felt confident and well-informed at every step of the way.
The Fairell Firm’s dedication to their clients is truly unmatched. Their communication was clear and timely, and they always made me feel like a priority. The team’s thorough guidance, support, and ability to deliver results exceeded all of my expectations.
If you’re looking for a legal team that combines passion, skill, and an unwavering commitment to excellence, I highly recommend The Fairell Firm. They’ve proven time and again why they’re the best choice, both for me and for the many others I’ve referred to them

Ms. Williams helped me with my first-time nursing application. I had several arrests from my past and no idea how to explain this to the board of nursing in a way that would not have my application denied or delayed. 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.

Bill is an incredibly effective, level-headed and thoughtful attorney. Not only did he provide a high level of expertise and guidance throughout the divorce process, he was able to advise on what areas were worth pursuing and fighting and what was not, so that I did not incur unnecessary billable hours. I was also pleased that he was always quick to respond, available for calls, and moved the case along quickly. He remained engaged and up-to-date on the status of my case, and never once passed me along to other attorneys in the firm. During the settlement process, he firmly pushed back on the other party when necessary, and guided us to an acceptable outcome. I am grateful I hired Bill to represent me in my divorce. He's tough, sharp and a delight to work with as his client.

My experience with Attorney John Evans was great. He took over my case half-way through but when I first met him, I knew I was in good hands. He is well versed and attentive. He made sure all of my questions were answered and was upfront with me about what he was working on with my case while also remaining realistic. I couldn't be happier with the results of my case.

I was not able to hire this firm because they do not handle my type of case but I do want to give credit where credit is due. I called and Spoke to Paralegal, Leigh'Ann who did an amazing job at listening and educating me on how to move forward with my complaint/case. This lady went over and beyond to assist me without me hiring them completely. She's definitely an asset to the firm and should be recognized. Thank u Leigh' Ann!

Wish I had used Anita when I first filed for divorce. She has now corrected the areas that were left open by a previous attorney that caused issues not setting clear, outlined specifics that put me back in court. She is like a surgeon knowing what needs to get cut and what needs to be modified all in good health.
Smart, kind, is clear about expectations and looking at long term priorities for the parent and the child. Anita helped me to forecast what we needed at the moment then 5yrs, 10yrs down the road.
Anita was my saving grace!! Thank you ANITA!!!

Anita represented me in my divorce case and I am so grateful I had her on my side.
While divorces are intimidating and never easy she made me feel like she genuinely cared about my situation AND had my best interests at heart. She doesn’t sugar coat anything which is exactly what I wanted and clearly needed. Her knowledge of family law is impeccable and she is extremely thorough in representing her cases. We remain in contact so much so that she even helped in my decision making process of purchasing a car and even contacted a car dealer on my behalf making sure they offered me the best deal ! “Above and beyond” is the words that come to mind when I think of Anita.

Katie is one of the most meticulous and knowledgeable attorney in Atlanta for a child custody case. She is a fighter who does not give up.

She and Jessica her paralegal are loyal, honest and determined.

The Connell Cummings legal team: Katie Connell, Amy Saul Mollengarden & Jessica Bringle; which helped me with divorce related matters is really great.
I really appreciated their understanding, consideration, dedication & professionalism.
I hired them in two legal actions, resulting in two winning cases, including compensation in the second.
It was my pleasure to work with this team and I would hire them any day.
And of course, I would recommend them to any person who requires support to deal and resolve any family legal matter.

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.

If you are looking for a great attorney that not only fights for you and your loved one but also takes the time to walk you through every step, keeps you informed, and gives you personalized care then you need to hire John and the Mabrey Firm. Through all of the issues that came up John not only kept me informed but also spent the time making sure I understood every aspect of the case. I felt reassured that we as a team were making the right decision at each phase of the case. I felt like John and his team truly cared about our situation and wanted to help my family bring some peace and justice to our situation. I know that we got the best outcome by having John and his team working on our case. The Mabrey firm may not be the largest is Georgia but I feel like it is the Best in Georgia. If you want a lawyer that treats you like family while at the same time working like a pitbull to fight for your family then please hire John and his team.

I got one of those advertised divorces that initially was going to cost me $500 and turned out to cost me $2500 in 2012. We had been separated for 7 years. I was in a bad state. I signed an agreement, drafted and reviewed by a 'cheap' attorney and today I am paying $11,500 in alimony and child support for 20 years.
I was referred to Cary King. One look at the settlement agreement and he told me that in his 30+ years of Family Law practice, he had never seen a settlement agreement so one-sided, atrocious, unfavorable and not doable (based on my income then and now).
My income then, nor my income today, justifies the unreasonable alimony I signed up for.
If you are seeking a divorce attorney, trust me.. Have Cary King on your side. His thorough knowledge of Fanily Practice Law is undeniable and you will experience his tenacity for Justice and Fairness as it pertains to your particular case during the initial consult.
I am paying him today and I wish had sought him out when I was going through my tribulations that led to my divorce and insane settlement agreement.

Jonathan was incredibly supportive and professional whilst working my divorce. He provided timely advice and took the time to help explain where we were in the process and what came next.

Ultimately Jonathan's personality and professionalism make him an ideal candidate for anyone looking for a lawyer.

Prior to an in-person consultation, Jonathan was quick to respond to emails and answered some questions I had about the divorce process. In the first 10 seconds of meeting Jonathan, he eased my apprehension by his confidence and honesty about my options and guiding me in the right direction. He is quick to understand situations from limited information, direct in his approach, and a strong advocate. Expect no BS, no wasting time. 10/10 would recommend.

Having to go through probate and a court appointed administrator I had to deal with a lot of different lawyers. Nothing compares to the way Adam and his team were. I NEVER had a problem getting him or anyone on the phone or an email response. Mind you I had given up because my case was turnt down by multiple lawyers. But Adam took the case and we won and I can’t thank him enough for everything. He absolutely deserves a 5 out of 5.

I have been working with my divorce attorney, Samantha Lennon, and her paralegal, Hannah, since April 2023. Throughout my experience with the Lennon, Giovinazzo, Steele Family Law firm, I have been consistently impressed with their professionalism, dedication, and expertise.
Samantha not only handled my divorce proceedings with great care and attention to detail, but she also represented me in a successful contempt of court case against my ex-husband. Her knowledge of family law and her strategic approach were instrumental in achieving favorable outcomes in both matters.
Hannah, her paralegal, has been an invaluable asset as well. She is always prompt and meticulous in her work, providing thorough support and clear communication at every stage.
The entire team at Lennon, Giovinazzo, Steele Family Law firm made a challenging and emotional time in my life much more manageable with their compassionate and skillful approach. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of a family law attorney.
Thank you, Samantha and Hannah, for your unwavering support and dedication. Your hard work has truly made a positive impact on my life.

I absolutely MUST take the time to express my deep gratitude for the amazing services that were rendered by Attorney Lennon and her incredible paralegal Hannah Garcia. I filed for divorce from my husband in August 2023 and I hired counsel in July 2023 to guide me through this process. I was so unhappy with the initial counsel I hired and truly felt like I was being forced to settle for terms that I was uncomfortable with and not being advocated for, which was both really scary and disheartening. After about a year of being with previous counsel, I started searching for another attorney to help move my divorce proceedings along and to get the advocacy that I truly needed.
From the date of securing Attorney Lennon as my counsel, she immediately began working on my case and swiftly moved my divorce forward, arranging mediation with a wonderful mediator. She consistently advocated fiercely for me and my daughter, which was so helpful and needed. As of this week, we've reached a settlement that I completely satisfied with. Within two months of hire, Attorney Lennon has turned my entire case around. Her and Ms. Garcia, her paralegal, are incredibly responsive and thoroughly answered all of my questions throughout my time as their client. If you are looking for a sharp team to both support and advocate for you during the scary time of going through a divorce, I implore you to PLEASE give this firm a call!
Attorney Lennon and Ms. Garcia, I truly appreciate you both for everything you did for my family!

I interviewed a few lawyers whose names I got from other professionals. I went with David because of his bedside manner and the fact he told me how to save money through the divorce process while I felt the other lawyers just viewed me as a money stream. He gave me great advise and was always very responsive (I mean the guy would respond to my emails late into the evening and on weekends which always helped with my anxiety). I could tell our guardian ad litem and the other lawyer in the case respected him a lot and we were able to mediate and get the case resolved with an outcome I am very pleased with. Thanks David! I sing your praises.

Alyson, Lauren and Heather brought so much wisdom, experience and HOPE to our case. I felt understood and heard with every concern and fear. The thought of mediation was terrifying, I had no idea what to expect or what the outcome would be. The settlement we reached was the ideal outcome.
They understood the assignment and absolutely crushed it! Their expertise was both critical and necessary. Thank y'all so much! 🙏🏼

Schneider Williamson law firm is the best people to go to if you have a personal injury case.
They were great at handling all that was involved in my case.
Attorney Campbell Williamson came to me and was very professional, caring and made me feel at ease on all matters. I am so thankful for all his help and the handling of my case.
Senior Litigation Paralegal, Beth Tyson was immensely helpful and there if I needed anything. No one could've been as kind and helpful as she was. She answered all my questions, kept me updated and was very personable.
Each time I spoke to Evelyn Graham, she was very professional and caring and there to help in all matters.
Each person in the firm that was a part if my case was extremely kind and helpful.
The case took a lil longer than I thought it would, mostly because I had no clue as to the process it took to get things done.
They got me a sucessful settlement and it was well worth the wait. They were great in every way. Couldn't have had anyone any better than this firm.
Thank you so much, Schneider & Williamson firm! You are the best at getting what the client deserves!

What a Family Law Lawyer Can Do for You
A family law lawyer provides legal services related to family relationships, including marriage, divorce, child custody, and adoption. Family lawyers help clients navigate emotionally charged legal issues, providing guidance and representation in disputes that affect spouses, children, and parents. Whether you're going through a divorce, seeking custody of your children, or drafting a prenuptial agreement, a family law lawyer ensures your rights are protected and your interests are represented.
Family law attorneys often handle sensitive matters and offer objective legal advice, helping clients reach fair outcomes either through negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
When Should I Hire a Family Law Lawyer?
Hiring a family law lawyer is beneficial in several situations, especially when legal matters involve close personal relationships. Common reasons to hire a family law lawyer include:
- Divorce or separation: When ending a marriage, a lawyer can help you navigate issues such as division of assets, spousal support, and child custody arrangements.
- Child custody and visitation disputes: If you and your co-parent can't agree on custody or visitation, a lawyer can represent your interests and work toward a solution that benefits your children.
- Child support: Whether you’re seeking child support or defending against a claim, a lawyer can help ensure the appropriate amount is calculated and enforced.
- Prenuptial or postnuptial agreements: A lawyer can help draft or review agreements that protect your assets in case of divorce.
- Adoption: Family law lawyers guide you through the legal process of adoption, ensuring that all requirements are met.
- Domestic violence or restraining orders: If you're a victim of domestic violence or being falsely accused, a lawyer can help you obtain or challenge protective orders.
- Paternity cases: If there are questions about the paternity of a child, a lawyer can help establish or dispute legal fatherhood.
Hiring a lawyer early can prevent issues from escalating, and they can offer you the best chance of achieving a favorable outcome in emotionally charged situations.

- Filing legal documents: Drafting and filing petitions, motions, and agreements with the court, such as divorce papers, custody agreements, or support orders.
- Representing clients in court: Arguing your case in front of a judge if a settlement can’t be reached through negotiation or mediation.
- Mediation and negotiation: Assisting with alternative dispute resolution methods, such as mediation, to reach agreements on issues like custody, property division, and support without going to trial.
- Enforcing court orders: Helping you enforce court orders related to child support, alimony, or custody if the other party fails to comply.

How Are Family Law Lawyers Paid?
Family law lawyers typically charge clients in one of several ways, depending on the complexity of the case and the lawyer’s experience. Common payment arrangements include:
- Hourly rates: Most family lawyers charge by the hour, with rates varying based on experience and location. Clients are billed for the time spent working on their case, including consultations, court appearances, and document preparation.
- Flat fees: For more straightforward legal services, such as drafting a prenuptial agreement or handling an uncontested divorce, some lawyers offer flat-fee arrangements.
- Retainer fees: In cases that are expected to require significant time and attention, such as contentious custody battles, a lawyer may charge a retainer, which is an upfront payment that covers the initial costs of legal services. The lawyer then bills against the retainer as they work on your case.
The exact cost will depend on the complexity of your case and the lawyer’s fee structure, which should be discussed upfront.

- Flat fees: For simpler cases, such as drafting a prenuptial agreement or handling an uncontested divorce, fees may range from $1,000 to $5,000.

Top Questions to Ask a Family Law Lawyer
Before hiring a family law lawyer, it's important to ask questions to ensure they're the right fit for your case. Here are key questions to ask during your consultation:
-
What experience do you have with family law cases like mine?
Make sure the lawyer has experience handling cases similar to yours, whether it's a contested divorce, child custody dispute, or adoption. -
How will you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, a flat fee, or requires a retainer. Ask for an estimate of the total costs involved. -
What are the possible outcomes of my case?
An experienced lawyer should be able to give you a general idea of what to expect based on the facts of your case. -
What is your approach to resolving disputes?
Ask whether the lawyer tends to favor negotiation and mediation or whether they prefer to take cases to court. This can help you determine if their style matches your goals. -
How long do you expect my case to take?
While it’s difficult to predict, the lawyer should give you an estimate based on similar cases. -
Who will be handling my case?
In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may do much of the work, so make sure you understand who will be your main point of contact.
How to Check the Credibility of a Family Law Lawyer
To ensure you're hiring a reputable family law lawyer, follow these steps to verify their credentials and reputation:
- Check state bar association records: Verify that the lawyer is licensed to practice in your state and is in good standing with no disciplinary actions.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for reviews on websites like Avvo, Google, or Martindale-Hubbell. Previous clients can give you insight into the lawyer’s professionalism and success in family law cases.
- Request references: Ask the lawyer for references from past clients who can speak to their experience with the lawyer.
- Review their website or professional profile: Look at the lawyer’s background, case history, and areas of focus to ensure they have substantial experience in family law.
- Look for professional memberships: Membership in reputable organizations, such as the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML), can indicate a lawyer's expertise and dedication to family law.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first consultation with a family law lawyer, it’s important to come prepared. Here’s what you should bring:
- Relevant documents: Bring any documents related to your case, such as marriage certificates, prenuptial agreements, financial records, custody agreements, or court orders.
- List of assets and debts: For divorce cases, prepare a detailed list of all assets (e.g., homes, bank accounts, retirement funds) and debts (e.g., mortgages, loans, credit card balances).
- Details of the family issue: Provide a written summary of the situation, including key dates and facts related to your divorce, custody dispute, or support issue.
- Questions for the lawyer: Write down any questions you have about the legal process, costs, and potential outcomes.
- Your goals: Be prepared to discuss your objectives, such as custody arrangements, property division, or spousal support, so the lawyer understands your priorities.
Being organized and clear about your situation will help the lawyer evaluate your case more effectively and offer the best advice for moving forward.
