I’d like to give a special thank you to Karen Taylor over at Atlanta Personal Injury & Law. In my accident I was hit unexpectedly while stationary at a stop light, resulting in critical damage to my vehicle and long term damage to my physical health. I initially hired them to cover the medical bills, but they went above and beyond for me. I would completely recommend them. They were efficient and timely. Throughout the experience, Karen kept great communication with me and showed immense compassion towards my situation. She was able to get me more coverage than I could have ever expected. If I ever got into another accident, there’d be the first I’d call. The staff was amazing by making the smoothest and stress-free experience possible. Much appreciated, Karla Monte

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.

Candace is the best of the best! When she took on my case, her and her team spent countless hours and late nights on my case. It was a mess. She cleaned it up and won our case in court. She is so professional but is also a bulldog. She won’t stop until she gets what the client wants. She is amazing! You won’t regret hiring her!

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

My case was very complex, beyond scary for me and in a different state (not in GA). I came across Foss and his firm when doing a search for sexsomnia. From the minute that we started speaking he made me feel understood, heard and started putting me at ease. His partners were amazing as well. Their methodical approach was world class and I found Foss's practical intelligence to only be surpassed by his emotional intelligence. His understanding of the people involved in the case, that he never even met, was uncanny. Foss and his partners were able to secure a complete exoneration in short order and get me my life back.

01 Oct, 2024 by Anonymous

Foss was very thorough in everything he did from investigation to validating facts to learning the personalities of the court and DA. He obviously had learned much over his years in practice and had a plan, but was not so rigid that he did not adjust with the situation. Always thinking ahead, he was prepared for different possibilities in each instance. A very intelligent gentleman who used good manners and remained calm at every turn. He was interested in hearing our input about the case and answering any questions we had. He communicated, even over communicated, to make sure we understood. Although the case was long, he was just as engaged at the end as at the beginning. We felt like we mattered to him as people and not just another win he could chalk up. We hope to never need his services again, but wouldn't hesitate a moment to engage him if the need arose.

04 Jun, 2024 by Jesse harless

After some searching, I found Foss Hodges and set up a time and an interview. Foss wanted to meet the entire family and the friends anyone who could show up, Foss began to introduce himself and more importantly wanted to know about me and my family. Foss cared it was the first time I had spoken to someone who wanted to actually hear from my family and was willing to speak with them about the case to help ease any confusion we may have. Also, a huge plus was he wanted to work with experts, and he had some of his own including wanting to give the one I had in mind a call and to at least learn with them. Foss gave us a checklist to do with everything he needed and as well as anything we thought would help him in any way. Then we went to work, we were a team working towards one goal and that was to prove my innocence and to put my family back together. Foss Hodges first act of business is very unique, it's to stop and indictment if it hasn’t been indicted already. He states very clearly, I can't promise you anything but the fact I will give you the best effort and I am going to put in the work. Any lawyer that tells you they can promise you a dropped case or an innocent verdict is something to pay attention to because that is not a thing. Foss then asks me to take a polygraph and then came to my house personally to do a walk through and see my house and exactly how the incident transpired. Foss took the extra steps to fully understand what happened and educated himself about the step by step instead of just taking my statement and that’s it. Foss wants to be there and see it with his own eyes, then after that he wants to try to meet the District Attorney to stop the Indictment if possible. We waited a year and a half it felt like before the DA responded to him then she would talk about meeting and then leave the office and someone else would get the case, or it would be “lost” for a few months then a new DA would take it and not respond to him all over again. Foss was persistent and never stopped with the correspondence to try to get a meeting to show the binder he built with all of his hard work and the expert testimonies with the polygraph test and all the Character reference letters with photos of the family and all. Foss kept my family updated and was very frequent with phone calls and if you had a rough time, you could just call him to talk, he was there for me and my wife in a time where we didn’t know what to do. Foss fought for my life for 3 years he won a bond modification to get me home to my family then 8 months later he went on to meet with the DA over my case and she dropped all charges over a six-minute phone call with my wife. Foss Hodges gave me my life back I have never seen anyone care or work so hard for anyone in my life, he was exceeding and doing things every lawyer I worked with before was just not there. I would trust Foss hodges with my life again and I am telling you if you are uncertain about the situation you are in and if you are reading this, I know your scared like I was. Please just give him a call and at the very least listen to what he has to say let him hear your story and then let him work for you like he did for me. He can't promise you the same outcome as me but that’s what he told me too and here I am writing this review after being free from the nightmare with a healthy family working on my master's because of this man. I owe him my life.

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.

15 Dec, 2022 by Andy

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!

07 Sep, 2022 by Anonymous

Rachel helped my family with a case and has been there to help for the past 5 years at a moment’s notice. She truly has a good heart and actually cares and is compassionate in the worst of times when it’s truly needed. Best lawyer ever and moreover a good person. Not enough good things can be said. Thank you Rachel!

Zero stars. Constantly felt like my counsel was working more closely to appeasement of opposing counsel rather than what I overpaid for. I would not recommend this law firm to anyone. You would be better of retaining a lawyer that you pay as you go as opposed to overpaying a non refundable retainer to this firm. The only reason it is not zero is that I wouldn’t be allowed to post this and warn against signing up for this firm. Shop around and save some money would most definitely be my advice. Thx

Thank you to the team at Sellers Law firm for helping with my divorce. I had a long process because I needed to keep editing documents, but they were able to make most changes and communicated to me what was possible. Compared to other firms, the Sellers Law firm’s price was reasonable! If needed, I will reach out to them again in the future. Thank you :)

09 Nov, 2024 by Cynthia smith

If I could give a zero I would due to the unprofessionalism that has not changed from a previous review. Attorney Keith Miles lost a client because he responds without reading for understanding. My sister was willing to come in person with her ID because she doesn't have a relationship with LegalShield/Prepaid Legal and this attorney became rude in his communication about a general question not specific to any person that he didn't want to even find out about. Now our family who makes decisions together knowing only one POA can authorize at a time will find another attorney to ask a general question before we retain. We just buried our father (who I was his POA) a month ago and to deal with this type of behavior from someone we could potentially hire is unacceptable at any time. A review with screenshots of the texts from his portal will be made with LegalShield/Prepaid Legal as well. I recommend if you are referred to Attorney Miles to ask to speak to someone to make sure there is no misunderstanding of what you are seeking before using the portal. I appreciate him apologizing on 12/23/24 via Google Review.

05 Jan, 2025 by Michael whitaker

Family Court is stressful. Calling attorneys to complete intakes to find out it’s $500 to speak to an attorney then a $10000 retainer on top of that only adds to it. I don’t blame anyone for their business model. It works for them. However, if you are looking for a genuine connection with an attorney who shows authenticity and empathy, call Mr. Hughes. Thank you for your time and wisdom today, Mr. Hughes. You have calmed the storm inside of me and my mind.

Attorney Boyd was professional, attentive, and very knowledgeable. I felt good and confident that we would have a good and speedy outcome. Update!! Attorney Boyd delivered in the courtroom, and she exceeded my expectations! Not only did we get joint primary custody of our daughter, but the parenting plan allows my X to step up to plate with shared visitation so I no longer feel like "the single parent", and I love it!! If you are having any doubts on whether she can assist, put your worries aside and get Attorney Boyd!!!

Though it was a long strenuous battle we came out on top. The strategies that was used by attorney boyd were flawless. And she even work with me on payment plans. I really appreciate all the help that she gave me. I recommend her if you're trying to get your child especially if you are male and you are responsible she understands what men go through when it comes to these types of issues and she fights for us. 💯✊🏿🤜🏿🤛🏿👊🏿💪🏿😎

Right before the pandemic, my spouse, the sole bread winner, was laid off from his job as an engineer. Then Covid arrived and claimed our small business with it. We had to foreclose on our home and there was more than an 150k in overage that was owed back to us. We were having difficulty trying to reclaim this surplus, that my family of 5 so desperately needed to provide a roof for children. US Lost Funds contacted us and we were very skeptical. This was a lot of money to entrust to them and to Matthew Collins. All of our communication was via phone, text, or email, so I was pretty anxious. Within a few weeks, Matthew Collins was able to process to me the surplus of funds! He was so professional and compassionate throughout the entire process!!! I’ve worked with many attorneys for various needs and he is by far, one of the most proficient attorneys I’ve ever had the pleasure to work with. If you’re on the fence about him as an attorney, don’t be - choose the Collins Firm!!! Thanks to him, I’m able to put a down payment to secure a new home for my family with three, younger children in an amazing school district! Thank you, Mr. Collins!!! The Kim Family from Prosper, TX

Estuve involucrado en un accidente y no tuve culpa, pero el seguro de otra parte no quería encontrar la responsabilidad del conductor, así que llamé an Emily, Vanessa y Rob. No podría pedir un mejor equipo a mi lado. Muchas gracias

My family and I employed the services of Natalie & her team (Heather) for my custody case involving my daughter, whose mother absconded with her from the state. My case is a long & complicated one, but what I will say is that until my family & I found Natalie, I had no hope. After Natalie & Heather became part of my team I felt I was in good hands! Heather is responsive, professional, compassionate and very personable. She always responded promptly to my questions, concerns, and made me feel heard. Natalie is an absolute light-beam in a dark room. I went through 2 different Georgia attorneys before finding Natalie & the difference in quality of representation is OBVIOUS. Natalie is: professional, encouraging, energetic, enthusiastic, compassionate & has a way of putting you at ease when you are in the midst of the worst experience you have ever been through. It takes a very specific type of attorney to be effective in family law, in my opinion they MUST be: compassionate, professional, knowledgeable, passionate, dedicated & responsive. Natalie is all those things and above! She & her team are the only ones I’ve met along this journey that made me feel heard, supported and actually fought for me. I am beyond grateful to have found Natalie & her team! My only regret? I wish I found them sooner! I wish I had skipped the heartache of pouring my heart out time & again for attorneys, who at the end of the day didn’t care. Natalie & her team care. They will work long hours, weekends, and they will be there quite literally “around the clock” for you. Please, if you are going through a situation like mine - go for an attorney who will actually be there for you. Natalie & her team are it!

First off let me say that I highly highly recommend this amazing team! From the beginning Emily has been very helpful and extremely attentive to our needs and getting medical care we desperately needed. Rob, Emily and Vanessa made this entire process so easy and made my family and I very comfortable with them handling our case. We knew they were there to fight for us!!! Emily has been available to answer any questions we had at any time of the day or night. She never gave up on fighting for our case to get the maximum amount. She is a fierce fighter who has your back no matter what. I am soo thankful that I had this amazing team representing us in the case. I know who I will be calling if I ever need a lawyer again. You will not be disappointed in this amazing team and their efforts to work on your behalf. They never give up and that’s what we need when dealing with low ball offers for a case. Thank you so much Emily, Vanessa and Rob for all your hard work on our case!

Working with Rob Chambers, Emily Cox, and Vanessa Gonzalez on my personal injury cases has been such a blessing. They make everything so easy and make sure you understand every step of the process. They truly care about each of their clients and the outcome of each case. As soon as I came to them after a horrible car accident that left me injured, they immediately jumped on it and got to work. I didn't have to worry about a thing. They have been amazing and I recommend them highly. It has been a pleasure working with them.

I switch to this firm due to bad communication and experience with another firm. I was hesitant to switch at the last minute with such a complex modification situation. However, Mrs. Wallace made me feel comfortable from the start. She listen and showed compassion. With less than two months to prepare, I could not believe how awesome she was in court. She caught my ex in three significant lies. I don’t know the verdict, but I know she fought hard for me and my babies. Thanks Mrs. Wallace.

Bree is the best of the best. I went in to this SO worried because of my ex's history with his anger and manipulation, and yet her reputation preceded her and with the slightest bit of her "barracuda" intimidation my ex backed down and proceeded to be cordial throughout the process. I would have been a complete mess without her! Thank you Bree!

I could hardly believe Christine Cruse's patience with me. I came into my consultation with no knowledge of divorce procedures, preparations, or proceedings at all. She gave me an ENORMOUS amount of education and advice for my path forward...and, as we all know, Education is Power! Much thanks to and many blessings upon The Law Office of Christine Cruse.

24 Apr, 2024 by Amanda m

Christine was absolutely the best. My divorce was messy (in my opinion) and drawn out by my ex, and yet I always knew I had Christine in my corner fighting for me and my best interests. A process that would've otherwise been the worst legal experience of my life was made so much easier and less stressful. Specifically, Christine was prompt and timely with responding to all of my questions and requests, and always had an answer for whatever questions I posed. I couldn't recommend her services more. She's also just a lovely person to communicate with, which in my opinion is the most important when dealing with drawn out legal issues. I'll definitely be using her in the future if I ever need legal representation again.

12 Feb, 2024 by Pamela thibodeaux

What an amazing experience that I will never ever forget. I will forever be grateful for our paths crossing. She handled my case timely and professionally while also managing to provide updates every step of the way, despite her busy schedule and high demand. I would recommend her time and time again to anyone in need of a passionate and informed attorney.

I could not be more pleased with the representation that I received from Dawn Taylor and paralegal Lynne Bradley for a recent personal matter. Both are caring, highly competent, and efficient. I was well informed throughout the entire process and all of my questions were addressed thoroughly and in a timely fashion. I highly recommend this practice for your legal needs.

Custody battles are very difficult but I am thankful to of had Dawn on my side throughout the years. She has been professional, giving great legal advice & fighting hard to help me accomplish what was best for my children. I would not have been able to be there for my children as much as I wanted without her help. I am very grateful. She will always be our family attorney.

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.

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.

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.
