Very knowledgeable. Doesn’t make promises that he can’t keep. Consistently communicates even from from his personal phone number. Gave me great advice even on things outside the scope of what i needed him for. No additional fees. Price was a little steep in the beginning but turned out to be VERY well money spent. Got me the best case scenario. Hands down the best I’ve seen in a court room!

Mr. Taylor came as a recommendation from another attorney in a domestic case I was involved in. I interviewed 7-8 lawyers for my divorce and found one I could trust to honestly counsel me and advocate for me to the Court.
Mr. Taylor impressed me with his case management, communication skills and common sense/plain spoken counsel. As a veteran of the U.S. Army JAG Corps, Mr. Taylor displayed an accurate and proactive understanding of military pay and retirement issues that were in question during our proceedings.
Through the entire legal process, from responses to hearings, Mr. Taylor provided level-headed and reasonable counsel regardless of the situation. In each interaction with the Court or officers of the Court, Mr. Taylor displayed a great respect for the process... and the Court displayed a great trust in Mr. Taylor's judgement and arguments.
In short, I would hire Mr. Taylor in an instant for reasonable, honest counsel and representation.

I met Mrs. Jeffords in 2007, and I can say without a doubt that day has saved my life on more than one occasion. If you got the law offices of Tonya Jeffords at your back, it’s like having a flock of angels on your team where nothing formed against you can prosper. The most amazing thing about Mrs Jeffords is her honesty it feels good to be able to believe your lawyer !!! She has compassion and everything she is the office is too. Hands down best staff and attorneys anywhere in Georgia. I was In jail for the holidays for sure so I thought, two days before Christmas she had me transferred in court and released the day before Christmas it was the last Christmas spent with my mother.

I was a little skeptical about hiring a lawyer to represent me but I was incredibly stressed & worried about how to proceed, I chose Pittman Morris after speaking with many attorneys. He did a great job with my case. He was upfront in what to expect and how the whole process worked He was detailed in everything he was going to do in fighting my case. He made the entire process a lot less of a mental burden and was able to get me the minimum sentence that I wanted, the outcome of my case was far greater than I expected. I'm glad I contacted Pittman Morris to represent me. I will not hesitate a moment to refer my friends and family to you Pittman.

Richard Goolsby is a lawyer who instills confidence and peace of mind with his clients. It was very reassuring to hear him say “I will be right there with you”, “I will take care of this”, and “Don’t worry about anything until I get back in touch with you for the next steps”.
He was very professional and caring for our family as we dealt with the loss of a loved one and had to go through the process of the Will/Probate/Guardianship/Custodialship.

As a male, divorce can be terrifying. At the best of times, it's extremely difficult. Alex Brown took care of me. He was there to ensure I understood every step of the process, listened to what my thoughts were on matters, and gave me sound advice. I won't get into specifics, but the outcome of my divorce was a favorable one for all parties involved. Creative solutions were created to solve unique problems and Alex was the architect for those solutions. Divorce is also expensive and Alex did not waste anyone's time or money nickel and diming. I hope I never have to see Alex again, but I will forever be grateful to him for his experience, talent, candor, flexibility, and advice throughout this process.

Our company did his lawn care at his personal home and office for months. We never had any complaints from him about our services until he ran up about $6,000 worth of bills and he decided not to pay us. We gave him gps proof and all our internal logs. He has refused to pay any of his bills to another local small business
I have no idea why anyone would hire someone like this for anything

I used to hate lawyers with a passion; we physicians like to call them “snakes.” Then God guided me to Brandon Dial, Esq. HE IS WHAT A LAWYER IS ACTUALLY SUPPOSED TO BE. His spine of steel, heart of gold, and tongue of silver, unified in service of a clear conscience, make for an anachronistic dinosaur among his so-called peers. American law to this day remains a fierce battleground for good and evil. As such, one is wise to choose Brandon Dial as their champion. While his antagonists are busy playing dirty tricks, he just artfully hangs each one up in a noose made from their own lies. He gave me a big win yesterday. I’ve lost count really of all the big wins he has achieved for me and my family. We pray for him daily because I am certain he is constantly and ferociously attacked, professionally and spiritually. He is a major force promoting goodness and truth in his city, and is a blessing on it and me.

Cannot say enough about Mr Dial. He helped me win my custody case when 3 other lawyers told me I wouldn’t be able to and they wouldn’t accept my case because it was complicated. Thank you Mr Dial for not giving up and for fighting for the truth.

Catherine really cares about what she does. She not only helped me, but she helped my child. My kiddo was her main concern during the whole process. She is extremely professional, and I couldn't have asked for a better attorney. She doesn't tell you what you want to hear, she tells you what you need to hear, which is far better.

Catherine did an excellent job in court under trying circumstances. You will get great service. She listens and gives good advice. She was correct in her predictions of certain outcomes. She will not let you down. I was in fairly bad situation and she was able to turn it around. The deal was phenomenal considering, in fact I got everything I could realistically hope for.
Could not recommend Catherine more.

I have been nothing but impressed with Ms. Ryan's conduct as an attorney. She took on the case when no one else (qualified) would (due to the work it would entail) and while her prices are high, so too were the prices of all other attorney's interviewed.
She took on a case that had been dumped by an earlier attorney and work tirelessly to educate herself on the nuances of it. Ms. Ryan arrived in court and represented the case well, even better than the earlier attorney, who, admittedly, was practicing outside of his wheelhouse. She ensured that we had the best possible outcome that we could have hoped for in that situation, and when the next hearing arose and the results were the opposite, she has not stopped advocating on our behalf. Ms. Ryan is accomplished, tenacious, and honorable (an oftentimes rare quality in this field) attorney.
Ms. Ryan does not perceive you merely as a source of income, but as a person and she has always seemed as invested in the outcome of our case as we are, which is the mark of a truly great attorney. You would be wise to secure her talents on your behalf if you are ever in need of an attorney who specializes in Family law.

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.
What Does a Family Law Lawyer Do?
A family law lawyer provides a wide range of services depending on your specific legal needs. Their responsibilities may include:
- Advising on legal rights and options: Helping you understand your legal rights regarding divorce, child custody, support, and other family law issues.
- 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.
- Drafting prenuptial or postnuptial agreements: Creating agreements that protect your assets in the event of a divorce.
- Handling adoption proceedings: Ensuring that the legal process of adoption is followed, from filing paperwork to finalizing the adoption in court.
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.
How Much Does a Family Law Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a family law lawyer varies based on factors such as the lawyer's experience, the location, and the complexity of your case. Here are some general cost guidelines:
- Hourly rates: Family law lawyers typically charge between $150 and $500 per hour, depending on their experience and the complexity of the case.
- 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.
- Retainers: For more complex matters, such as contested divorces or custody battles, lawyers may charge a retainer ranging from $2,500 to $10,000 or more. The lawyer will bill against the retainer for the work they do on your case.
- Additional costs: You may also be responsible for additional costs, such as filing fees, mediation fees, or expert witness fees.
Always ask for a clear breakdown of the lawyer’s fees and any additional expenses during your consultation.
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.
