Incredible experience. Mr. Brownell's professionalism and decorum with regard to details of a Divorce, are second to none. Direct communication time and again during the entire process gave me a level of assurance during an unsettling Life event. No matter the question or circumstances, Mr. Brownell made me feel like a valued client and his attentiveness never wavered.

After talking to Clint Teston, we hired him right away. He was great at relating to both my son and I during this stressful situation and explaining how the system works and things would play out. He is knowledgeable and well connected in the Hall County court system. I want to thank Clint Teston for helping me and my family through one of the most difficult times we have experienced. Bottom line we totally recommend Clint to anyone needing a top-notch criminal defense attorney with a heart.

Two and a half years ago our very happy and peaceful life in retirement came to a very sudden halt. We were asked to drive 4-5 hour from our home in order to ensure the safety and welfare of our baby grandson. The Juvenile Court of Hall County, GA gave my wife and I temporary guardianship of our 10 month old grandson. Three weeks later when we returned to court it became clear to us that we would need a very good Lawyer in order to continue to do what was in the best interest of our grandson. I asked a few people for the name of a good family law attorney in Gainesville, GA. One name was always at the top of their list. It was Susan Brown, JD. Susan turned out to be "a godsend" and the best family lawyer I had seen in over 65 years of my professional life. Susan was a smart, experience attorney who had a gifted knowledge of Georgia family Law. I very highly recommend Susan Brown to help you with any family law matters. Thank you Susan

I was in a car wreck and had minor injuries. I hired Mr. Hardman to help with my case. He always kept me updated with anything to do with my case and communicated perfectly. He helped me understand the process and answered any questions I had whenever I had them. He is very professional and willing to help. I am glad that I chose him to represent me in my case. If could give more then 5 stars I would. Absolutely wonderful choice.

I’ve used Ted Cassert for multiple legal issues I’ve had over the past few years and he has never disappointed! Honestly on a few occasions I thought I was going to be out of luck but Ted came through every time. I’ve referred friends of mine and he has helped them out as well. Ted is super knowledgeable and knows ALOT of people in the court systems. From divorce, Dui, custody as well as business related cases, he’s your go to guy!

Mr. Cassert devoted his professionalism to my Case and due to his masterful intuitiveness my Case was won! After firing 3 different law firms I know that Mr Cassert is the best attorney in the United States. My Case was extremely difficult but he got the job done right the first time and I know without him life would be different today.

Kelly Miles is the lawyer who lawyers call for their own divorce, child support, and child custody needs. As an attorney, I did my homework before I retained Kelly to represent me in my personal divorce, and my research revealed that Kelly Miles is hands down the best domestic relations attorney in the State of Georgia. Kelly knows the intricacies of Georgia domestic relations law, and she pays attention to minute yet meaningful details that many less experienced attorneys would easily overlook. Kelly provided me with sound legal guidance including strategic recommendations that helped accomplish my objectives. I was impressed at every turn with her acumen and her knowledge of the legal authorities as they applied to the specific facts of my case. It was readily apparent throughout my divorce that I had the more skilled and experienced advocate on my side. Kelly is a consummate professional, and she obtained a very favorable result in my case. Kelly went above and beyond the call of duty to help me including even braving an impending winter storm to attend mediation for my case where we ultimately reached a resolution. I highly recommend Kelly Miles to anyone in need of legal representation in any aspect of domestic relations litigation in Georgia.

I had some serious and complicated residual issues from my divorce several years ago, and had previously been burned and set back by a few 'very seasoned' (and very terrible/burnt-out) attorneys, before Kelly. Based on my situation and prior experiences in court, I was fully expecting (and dreading) that my only option would be to return there, and fight for something with little chances of prevailing. I met with Kelly, gave her a pile of paperwork and notes to review, with the agreement that we would conference call soon to discuss her recommendations. During that initial meeting, Kelly impressed me with her both professional and caring review of my situation. She was quick to dismiss/filter things that weren't relevant, asked very direct questions, and outlined how we would progress. A few weeks later, when we conference called to review, she recommended three options, with the dreaded court date as #3 (last). Although I didn't believe that my ex-wife would accept anything, I agreed to start with Option #1, expecting it to lead to #2 and then #3. Kelly prepared what we needed for Option #1, sent it to me for approval, and then presented it to my ex-wife. To my surprise and relief, my ex accepted our requests. I firmly believe that what Kelly presented and how she presented it (tone) nudged my ex into agreement. I think that Kelly means business, and she was able to convey this to my ex in a non-threatening, yet motivating way. She has saved me a lot, because I believe most attorneys would have signed me up for court dates and lots of expense, more concerned for their billable hours than my welfare.
Lost faith in or skeptical about attorneys? I was, big time. Kelly has restored my faith that there are good lawyers out there that care and want what is best for their clients. I highly recommend this professional.
Thanks Kelly!

I hired Kelly specifically on a recommendation from a family member. I knew I needed someone who really knew what they were doing for my case, and knew I needed to be prepared for a potentially ugly fight. I made it clear from the beginning that I wanted to be fair, but not taken advantage of in resolving my case.
Kelly was purely professional in her handling. She made sure I was prepared each step of the way, and worked with me to provide a fair and equitable settlement of my case.
While Kelly is not the cheapest attorney out there, I knew going in that you get what you pay for. And I knew I better be prepared for a fight and not need to, rather than need to fight and be unprepared. Kelly's fees were reasonable for a top flight attorney, and quite frankly one of the best investments I think I have ever made.
If you have a case where you know you will need an attorney who knows how the process works and can protect you in the difficult process of a divorce, I don't think you could find anyone better. I would highly recommend her.

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 can’t say enough good things about Ms. Williams and her amazing team of women. I had a scary ex who had walked all over me in the state we lived before and my previous lawyers did not have my back and had written up horrible orders that gave my ex the ability to mess with my daughters life to try and hurt me. Ms. Williams nipped that right in the butt and got us new orders written up that protected me and my daughter. On top of that she was able to finally put him in his place and get us tie breaker. Something we have never been able to have in my daughter’s entire life. My previous lawyer I had to baby sit and I had to fight for my daughter in court while this lawyer stood by and watched my cry. my experience with Ms. Williams was the complete opposite. She had my back the entire time and I am eternally grateful and will contact her if we ever need her again.

Chris strongly advocated for me and made me feel like I had someone in my corner that was going to fight for me to get me what I wanted.

I feel that Chris takes on more than he should and does not allot the appropriate focus needed in certain matters. Several request I made in working with Chris on 2 cases went completely unanswered, most others I would have to ask for more than once. Several administrative mishaps with both cases ranging from mistakes on documents, misunderstanding of court information by his office, and not being made aware of rate increases between the two cases. A lot of promises were made that were never followed through with. Very unpleasant experience.

to sincerely thank Jennifer McCall’s legal office for their genuine services. I had worked with Jennifer before in a previous divorce case and knew that she gets the job done. This time, Jennifer was not my first choice for representation because this child was born out of marriage and I associated her with family law and divorces, not custody. So I went with a referral from a friend that was way more expensive. That law office and attorney did not listen to me or fight for me or my daughter at all. I fired them and remembered custody cases are family law and and proceeded to hire Jennifer for this custody case. With Jennifer’s office I always felt heard throughout the entire process. This was important to me for the reason that I’m a father fighting for the rights to be with his child. We all know how much of an uphill battle it can be for fathers fighting for their children in the justice system. Jennifer took the time to listen to my story and the facts. Then she fought to have a guardian ad litem appointed. Her office always kept me up to date with how the case was progressing. Jennifer cares about people. She cares about me. She cares about you and your children. She will go the extra distance to fight for you and your children throughout your personal struggle. From the bottom of my heart Thank You, Jennifer.

Judy Sartain was highly recommended to us in the middle of a two-year drawn-out custody proceeding that didn't seem to be working in our favor. As soon as Judy and her team were hired, they worked tirelessly to ensure our legal goals were met and that our Grand babies were afforded the opportunity to have a chance at a life that would allow them to prosper. Legal fees were expensive but worth the outcome! Her team was professional, responsive and prepared! She exceeded my expectations and provided every option to a desired end and success for my Family. Today I rest easy and am postured to allow my Grandbabies to enjoy a good life. A big thanks to Judy, Stephanie and the entire team.

Graham McKinnon has represented me for almost a decade through the most difficult time of my life. From keeping me out of prison during my sentencing to finally, as I type this today, using his deep connections in the Hall county courts to get me off of probation and my full record expunged. I trusted Graham with my future and it's the best thing I ever did, I have an entirely new lease on life now thanks to him. It was almost a pleasure to go through everything I have just to have had Graham brilliantly guide me through it, I highly recommend him.

In my life i have not always had good luck with attorneys.
Mr. Patterson told me up front this is what I can do, this is what it's gonna cost and this is about how long it's gonna take.
His firm stayed in contact with me, and answered my questions when I called.
I was comfortable thru the whole process.
I will definitely use his firm again.
I highly recommend Bart Patterson and Associates.

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.

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.

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.

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.
