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.

Working with Daniele Family Law has been an absolute blessing, a ray of light in the darkness of my legal troubles. With every fiber of my being, I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the exceptional service they have provided. The moment I stepped into their office, I was engulfed in a wave of warmth, understanding, and professionalism that washed away my fears and anxieties. The team at Daniele didn't just handle my case; they cradled me in their care, ensuring that I felt supported and informed every step of the way. Their dedication to my well-being and my case was unwavering, a beacon of hope in my darkest hours. They listened to my concerns, answered every single one of my questions with patience and clarity, and offered crystal-clear explanations of my legal options. I never once felt lost or alone; with [Law Office Name] by my side, I knew I had a team of warriors fighting for me. But what truly touched my soul was their compassion. Daniele Family Law didn't just provide legal advice; they offered me a shoulder to lean on, a hand to hold, and a heart to empathize with my struggles.

I was being unjustly sued by my HOA and called Atty Wyatt for representation. He patiently listened to details of the case, asked pertinent questions over the phone. His amazing receptionist quickly scheduled an appt. and Atty Wyatt refused to charge me. I could have paid him personally and I also had membership in a corporate legal plan and again, he refused to charge me a dime. Atty Wyatt gave excellent advice, composed a response to the HOA's claims and it was filed the same day! The services and time that Atty Wyatt provided would have easily been billed at $4000 or more at a firm that would have done 1/3 of the work that he did. He did not know me from Eve and is the absolute nicest and most jovial attorney I've ever met! I'm happy to report that the case was DISMISSED due to the kindness and exemplary legal advice of Atty Justin Wyatt! Thank you for stellar advice!

When you are in financial distress and physical pain it is difficult to think clearly and make good decisions . That, in addition to not understanding a legal process complicates matters even more. Justin explained the law, outlined in clear language the steps in the process that where needed to be done. He was reassuring, articulate, knowable and effective. Justin and his amazing team made the process so much easier and gave me peace of mind in a stressful but successful outcome. Justin was selected on recommendation from a trusted friend and Attorney it was some of the "Best" advice I have ever received.

We hired Justin for a highly contentious case. Over the course of three very long years, he listened and used his high energy approach to help us get to a place where we won. He worked to give us realistic advice, but when the right opportunities came during the case he jumped on them. We had a good relationship with Justin and have recommended him to others. We will likely never need his services again, but if the need does arise for some reason, we will be calling him.

My wife and I worked with Suzanne during a custody and child support modification that my ex-wife filed around the time when the previous poster who chose to remain "Anonymous" commented and gave a one-star rating. To that poster - you know your case better than anyone else including your attorney and if you catch something in a draft document that your attorney didn't - so what. It's your case so you should be reading the documents, catching things, and making changes/suggestions too. If there is something that is important to you, then stick to your guns. Don't blame your attorney because something that they might not view as important in the grand scheme of the case may be very important to you for some particular reason. So communicate that to you, it is important and why it is such and recognize that sometimes it is easier to give on something if it means you can move on. For me, I was extremely pleased with Suzanne on everything from responsiveness, timeliness, counseling within the legal guidelines, documenting, settling, and finalizing the entire custody and child support modification. In working with Suzanne, I felt that it was a team effort - my wife and I had our role, Suzanne had hers, and we coordinated on everything in between - strategy, ideas, negotiating points, documentation, etc. She is very direct, engaging, and is very timely in her responses and turnaround time. My only regret is that I didn't have Suzanne as the attorney for my divorce and the first modification. Thanks, Suzanne.

Me and my wife recently finalized an adoption with Ms. Prescott. We initially started the process with another lawyer and was getting no where. My wife located Ms. Prescott and gave her a call. From the very first meeting we felt very comfortable with her and she was very excited to work our case. There were some snags along the way but not from their doing. There were several waiting periods on certain things but her office stayed on top of them and communicated what was going on when we asked and even when we didn't. The adoption was very sensitive and Suzanne made sure certain things were not mentioned to our daughter. Really and truly we just kind of sat back and cruised through the whole process. I am now the daddy to two beautiful children and have Suzanne and her great office staff to thank!!!!

Ms. Prescott made my divorce quick and easy. I felt I could tell her important details without trepidation or judgement. She is very quick to respond and was available to me beyond traditional business hours and across multiple modes of communication. Ms. Prescott's knowledge and expertise gave me confidence during a very difficult time. I feel that she has my (and my child's) best interest at heart and I am very happy and satisfied with the results of my case. She was very clear and communicative throughout the entire process and to top it all off, has a great sense of humor. In the time I have been a client, I have referred several people to her to retain her services.

They were not just collecting a pay day, they cared about the outcome for our family, and they celebrated with us after guiding the process to close and a big victory in a way we did not believe was even possible. Could not recommend the firm more. If you a phenomenal family law firm, look no further. Thank you so much!

I cannot express how grateful I am that I found Daria and her team. I was in the unfortunate scenario of unexpectedly being plunged into our broken family law system. I interviewed a few attorneys and hired one from another firm (S-M&P). I quickly realized I had made a mistake, as the competence of that attorney was severely lacking and it was clear that they viewed me as an ATM. After a month of manufactured drama/crisis and thousands of dollars down the drain, I made the decision to change attorneys. I was referred to The Wise Law Firm by a friend of a friend, and from the start, Daria exceeded the high expectations that I had coming in. She was very transparent about my realistic options and the most likely outcomes. She didn't try to push the more contentious options simply to drive up her billable hours. There was never a time when I felt like I was being 'nickel and dime'd into oblivion - their billables are very fair and accurate and I never had to question any line item on my statements. Daria and her team had the goal of achieving the best outcome for my family and me, and I am confident that my case would not have had the favorable outcome that it did, had I stayed with the other attorney. Family law is an ugly place, and I can't imagine dealing with it day in and day out, but somehow Daria and Stephanie have found a way to insulate themselves from becoming cynical and jaded. If you are reading reviews because Daria is your opposing counsel, I can say with confidence that Daria is as professional of an opponent as you will find. She is not manufacturing drama/conflict in an effort to drive up the billables and the duration of your case. If you have already hired another attorney and are having doubts, I would highly suggest making a switch - it's not worth it to stay with an attorney that you don't have full confidence in - the figurative and literal costs are far too high. TLDR: If you are looking for a family law attorney, I cannot recommend The Wise Law Firm enough.

For the last 7 years, Ms. Wise and her paralegal, Ms. Kayler, have been like extra family members, assisting us with some of the most challenging circumstances our family has ever experienced. In every event our family has encountered (including parenting plans, modifications, emergency custodial issues, multiple mediations, protection orders, guardian ad litems, all manner of temperaments from opposing counsels, new judges), Ms. Wise's counsel and advice has been spot on. She's not one to make promises, but she has a solid grasp of the legal systems in the area and can accurately guide your expectations and limitations. I have lost count of how many court appearances and mediations we've attended with Daria at our side, but our children and family have come out safer and better off after each one. I have personally referred her to many of my friends in need of family legal services, and they've reported the same. She's timely, communicates well, and is passionate about helping her clients and their families.

The Wise law firm did an excellent job in handling my case, they showed professionalism a great work ethic and had good knowledge and experience in handling divorce cases. They also showed great empathy in handling my peculiar case; were very responsive and understanding of my financial difficulties and very generous in giving no charges whilst still working very hard to ensure that all my needs were tendered to. If you are looking for a firm that will fight for you and have your back, this is your firm. My case lasted 4yrs and Daria still remembered details of the case that even I had forgotten that ultimately helped me in gaining custody of my children as well as a very fair final judgement. I will highly recommend this firm, definitely a good lawyer you can trust!

I am a military Officer and who does critical thinking and planning on regular basis. Upon substituting my former attorney and firm with Courtney, I saw the clear cut difference between most attorneys and the Exceptional/Elite. Don’t waste time reading any further reviews. Each person has a talent and I believe Courtney’s talent is passion for her clients and job. Arguing in the courtroom is Courtney’s natural talent. She is a master of her craft. She simply has the courtroom attitude, voice, projects confidence and speaks facts. No fluff! Trust me, to my military battle buddies, I will go to battle with Courtney any day in the courtroom and be confident in victory. I can write a whole page but I won’t waste your time. Hire Courtney. She will save you from stress and get to the point without wasting your time and money. She is loyal to you and the law, what do I mean? If you want something from your case that is not law, Courtney will not allow you to waste time and money. No wild chasing in hopes that it will stick. All you have to do is to trust her. Still don’t believe? I will still say trust and you will get what is deserving of you in the courtroom.

These last few years in have been dealing with hostage situation in the form of my Ex wife who choose to leave our marital home with our child. My previous representation IS a wreck and I had to find someone that actually could do the job. Gina not only provided patience, logical standpoints and understanding but she also treated me like a person and not just a case or an income. Given the trash heap I brought to her in the form of my case, she did the best that she could to help clean up. She is not afraid to stand up and represent you and deflect wrong doing or poor decisions that could damage your life worse than it currently could be. If I would have stuck with my previous representation I honestly believe that I would not even have a chance to see my daughter at all. If you want someone who will have your best interest in mind when it comes to you as a person in need, Gina and her staff are hands down the team you need.

I highly recommend Ian Falcone for any matter within his chosen areas of practice. He is absolutely, a great attorney!

As a father, I had an uphill battle getting my kids out of a toxic environment where my ex-wife was actively alienating my children to the point where I was losing communication with them. Brandy was appointed to be the Guardian ad Litem to investigate my case. When I was searching for the right legal representation, every attorney knew Brandy and had high praise for her. One lawyer told me that if Brandy is involved, you better be in the right. She comes to trial prepared, documented, and fully investigated. I found this to be true. Throughout the two year investigation, it was clear that she was focused on the best interest of the children. I don’t know if anyone else could have sorted through the complexity of my case. Brandy thoroughly investigated the evidence to separate information from misinformation. She interviewed school teachers, family, friends, doctors, and my children. My case was very complicated. Even though the alienated children signed affidavits to live with their mom, the courts recommended a change of custody. Brandy handed down a very comprehensive and detailed report to the court. Even though the evidence spoke for itself in the end, I wasn’t sure where Brandy would stand in her recommendation until she was called to testify in the temporary emergency custody hearing. She doesn’t show her cards and did not take sides until she finished her investigation. My children were found to be in a mental health crisis, and as an alienated father, I felt hopeless to save my kids or our relationship. Because of the care and hard work of Ms. Daswani, I was able to see an amazing turn around that I didn’t think was possible. I will always be grateful for the dedication she showed to my children.

Brandy Daswani was the most professional, thorough, responsive, involved advocate for my case that I could possibly ask for. Her expertise and compassion made all the difference for my case and my family. I would hire here again and recommend her to anyone who needs a family practice attorney or Guardian Ad Litem. No one better.

Some years ago, my wife and I made the difficult and painful decision to end our marriage after 15 years with two minor children. Although we were unable to maintain the marriage, we were in complete agreement about continuing to raise our children with joint custody for the both of us in separate households. We initially tried some self-help software to draft a settlement agreement (A good basis to begin the discussion but not really sufficient without being reviewed by an attorney when there are children involved.). We then initially hired Brandy to review and revise the settlement agreement so it would pass legal muster in Georgia courts. To our mutual shock, The judge in our case did not want us to have a joint custody (What?!) because in the judge's opinion that never works out really that people will cooperate through the remainder of the child rearing years. We both protested and insisted that both of us were in agreement and we both want to joint custody for the children and that's also with the children desired. The judge informed us that it was "not our decision" and proceeded to conduct a hearing to decide which of us was going to get full custody against both of our wishes. During a recess, I made an emergency phone call to Brandy and informed her of the situation. She suggested that we immediately dismiss the case and come to her office to consult how to achieve what we were both trying to accomplish. We did so and she suggested that we both waive venue and re-file in another jurisdiction where the judges reward cooperation and respect joint custody when it is in the best interest of the children and both parents and with full cooperation. We did so and after languishing for eight months in the original court without satisfactory resolution for anyone, we sailed through a friendlier jurisdiction of her suggestion in less than two months and got some closure on the legal issues. That has been nearly 10 years at this point and I am glad to report that not only are both of our children healthy and successful college students, but my ex-wife and I have remained friends to this day. This is largely attributable to Brandy's innovative and quick thinking solution to avoid an irreparable situation that would have doubtless tarnished the relationship with my ex-wife and I, and between each of us and our children. If there is anyway you can salvage your marriage especially with children, I counsel everyone I know to try that first. If you cannot come to mutual resolution I definitely recommend using an attorney for divorces with children in Georgia. If you find yourself in this unfortunate situation, there is no attorney I can personally recommend more highly than Brandy Daswani.

Being a young dad, it was devastating when I was not able to see my son. I felt hopeless when I read that the mother had all the rights - that quickly changed when I hired Mark. He made me feel hopeful again. He was very thorough, explaining my options every step of the way, ensuring that what was done was best for me and for my son. Mark got me shared custody of my son, which is all I really wanted - to be a part of my son's everyday life. I am forever grateful for all the support and guidance that he gave to me.

Mr. Staples has been very helpful in my child guardianship/custody case. He listens to what you have to say, explains what's going on, and what all he needs from you. He explains each step of the process, and makes sure you understand what it entails. I've never had a problem with him, he has returned my calls, left me text messages, voice mails, sent emails to me. I can't explain just how helpful, and understanding he has been. Best part is he cares, and he listens to you. You can't go wrong with him.

He took on the toughest parts of my case, he kept me strong, and he fought hard for me. He answers calls, emails, and texts very promptly, and I was never left wondering what was going on.

Nicole was extremely professional throughout the entire process and delivered exceptional results. Her communication was always clear, and she kept me informed every step of the way.

Ms Westmoreland is special compared to most lawyers. What separates her most is the fact she actually cares. Most lawyers separate emotion which makes them just do work and go home and forget it about it. Mrs Westmoreland has passion and uses it to fight for you. Dealing with her taught me that if a lawyer doesn't actually care they are not the right lawyer!!

Jeff Hamby is definitely the lawyer for you if you are going through a particularly nasty divorce - especially one involving disputed custody of children. He can be a "pit bull" in the courtroom when necessary. He's been doing this a long time, and his experience shows - and gets results. And in the midst of one of the darkest times of my life, he was actually a joy to work with. He is definitely a straight shooter, though, and he will tell it to you like it is. He's truly fabulous.

I called Saeed and explained my traffic ticket; unlike the other lawyers who wanted me to hire them immediately and pay them up front. Saeed advised me that my traffic ticket was a simple expiry of tag and that i should be able to pay the fine without paying thousands to any lawyer. He was more of a physician watching out for the best interest of his client instead of a businessman looking out for the best for himself. I can not thank him enough for giving the best advice in a simple and understandable language. I highly recommend Saeed for his principles and practise of law.

He handled my case extremely efficiently, and even made me laugh a couple times. I'd recommend Mr. Mahallati to anyone.

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
