Leslie is really an amazing person, lawyer and friend. Throughout my year plus long case, Leslie worked so diligently with the prosecutor in ultimately getting my case dismissed before accusation. Leslie has many years of experience within the Georgia Judicial system which makes her a really amazing defense attorney in 2019. Her vast legal experience coupled with the best legal education in Georgia allows for your case to recieve the absolute best treatment there is. Leslie knows the law, and knows people. She is very personable and kind. I know nothing about the intricacies of law, that is why I hire a lawyer that has worked on both sides of the law, a lawyer that has impeccable credentials and a lawyer that is so genuine. That is why I hire Leslie! Her rates are very fair and her communication is always consistent. If you have any legal issues at all just call Leslie!

Leslie handled my college aged son's super speeder ticket. It was his first offense, and the judge seemed sympathetic when we called. Leslie actually suggested that we might not need her - clearly ethical. I still felt it necessary to have someone represent us to make sure we had everything in order. We are pleased with the outcome - nothing on the record and no suspension. I also loved that Leslie handled things directly with my son, even though I made the initial contact and hired her. I again think this demonstrates her attention to ethics. I would recommend her to anyone in our position.

06 Feb, 2019 by Denise

Leslie is an excellent attorney. She is professional, dedicated and very efficient. I found her to be a pleasure to work with and I am very happy with the outcome of my case. I would highly recommend Leslie to anyone seeking legal representation.

Attorney Heather Logan is the best! Heather and her staff were dedicated to helping me navigate through a difficult time with compassion and wisdom. Heather kept me grounded; she helped me see the path forward when I could not. She was always prepared and I was her sole focus during our meetings. She was patient, professional, honest and approachable throughout the entire experience. I was grateful to have a strong coach and ally during a tumultuous time.

21 Sep, 2022 by Cesar colon chardon

Mrs. Logan from the first day to the completion of my divorce was excellent. A true Professional! She gave true advice and explained in the detail and in language I could understand, the process. Should I need the service of a Family Attorney in the future, Mrs. Logan is my choice. I definitely recommend her.

Heather was amazing. She helped me throughout an extremely difficult time. She was on top of everything and made sure I received what was fair to me in my divorce. I highly recommend her.

I have known Attorney Scott Williamson now for 10 years and whenever I need an attorney he is who I called. Scott is client focused and result driven, but he is also honest and transparent with you throughout every step of your case. I am honored to call him my attorney, friend and now mentor. If you are looking for an attorney look no further than Scott Williamson.

As a small business owner, I am very critical of the work of others, so my reviews on Google and Yelp are candid. My daughter was in a severe auto accident by an uninsured motorist a year ago and was in a wheel chair for several months. We interviewed with over seven different law firms, most of which, were large, had great experience, and a great reputation. We selected Thorton Law Firm due to his hands on with his cases, along with his great reputation. This turned out to be the best decision we made. His hard work ethic, tenacity, made things happen. Steve gave us the personal touch and we were confident he was going to work hard to give my daughter as much compensation as possible; he produced OUTSTANDING results Steve treated us like we were his only client and my daughter was the most important person on the planet.

I cannot sing Atty. Scott Williamsons' praises enough. He is an Attorney that cares? WHAT??? YES!! I said that! He is attentive, and immediately responds to ALL CALLS!. He always made himself available for questions both big and small and kept me informed with the merits of my case without having to be chased down. I would highly recommend him without reservation to others. Additionally, I have referred him to others for car accidents as well who had great results with him.

Jennifer has provided legal guidance to our family owned practice for several years. She is smart, thorough, and a hard worker. We trust and appreciate her practical and legal guidance. Jennifer also goes beyond her legal skills to serve her community and has held a number of leadership positions in her church and other local organizations. Jennifer works hard to make Tift County a better place and I recommend her without reservation!

17 Mar, 2016 by Anonymous

My Lawyer, Jennifer Herzog helped us through legal proceedings with a child custody/visitation agreement. Jennifer has not only done a fantastic job on the legal end of the situation, but made the whole process much easier with her thoughtful and caring attitude. Her work ethic and the way that she is "on top" of the situation has made the process come along in a timely manner, that otherwise could've been drug out over a longer period of time. I'm thankful to have had her by our side through the agreement process. I would highly reccomend her to anyone.

17 Mar, 2016 by Kathy

Jennifer has provided general legal advice to our company for several years. More recently, she provided excellent guidance and representation defending our company and us individually against claims by a former employee who had filed suit in federal court. Jennifer consulted or called in other attorneys within her firm when their areas of expertise were required. She kept us well informed throughout a long and difficult process, and we continue to be very grateful for her guidance through this period. We continue to consult her for routine legal advice as needed and would not hesitate to use her for major issues that might arise in the future.

I cannot express my gratitude enough to Attorney Sarah White. She’s the best, she took care of my Social Security disability claim and I didn’t have took a huge load of my back. I’m very aware of how the system works; I was a Social Security Employee. I have helped customers fill out disability forms hundreds of times; however, there’s a point in life when I realized that I needed help and I knew exactly which attorney I wanted and why. The attorney was Sara White and why I wanted her because she deliverers and stays on top of the case and took a huge load off my back. No matter how knowledgeable I am it was impossible dealing with a recurring cancer, double pneumonia and back surgery, thanks God for her and her team help. Always a fan.

I perceive Josh to be one of the good guys! A defender of the constitutional, inalienable rights of property ownership and will fight to receive highest and best use value for your property!

30 Jun, 2023 by Eric

Josh went above and beyond to protect my rights against an overreaching City and solved the problem at the lowest possible level without litigation or even headache. He did a great job of explaining my case to me and listening to my point of view on strategy. I use attorneys for various things regularly, and Josh is definitely one that you can turn loose and just show up for your hearing. I have never seen a more prepared attorney, I will use Josh time and time again.

20 Apr, 2019 by Doug

The Georgia DOT was about to condemn my property to widen a road. I hired Josh and he took the time to walk me through the condemnation process. He then reviewed the road plans with me and explained exactly what the DOT was taking. Josh answered every one of my questions and I felt a great sense of relief when I left his office after my initial consultation. He really put my mind at ease. Once negotiations started with DOT, Josh had already compiled all of the local sales comps and the DOT’s lawyer knew that Josh was willing to go to court if necsssary to get me the most money for the property that was being condemned. Once it was over Josh had gotten me a settlement of over $800,000!!! Hiring Josh for my condemnation case was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made!

Robyn is a great lawyer and super personal. I had to acquire her service to help fight for custody of my only son. For a long 18 months, she communicated and explained every question or concern I had throughout the process. she was very professional and transparent throughout every step by sharing email exchanges of the negotiation for custody of my two-year-old son. In the end, she did the impossible by settling my case with 50/50 physical custody because we live in the south and family court is one-sided. Listen, lawyers are expensive, but it was worth it in the long run because now I no longer have to pay child support, and claim child tax credit every other year. Now, this doesn’t mean it will work for everyone, but she will advise you on the do’s and don’t, to help build your case. There's hope for good fathers that want to be a part of their kid's life and Robyn will be a solid asset to your fight.

I came to Hoffer & Webb to handle my divorce. I was scared out of my mind because my life was changing before my eyes but Robyn Webb took over the situation for me and kept me informed every step of the way. And when I got in a car wreck, Hoffer & Webb was there for me, too! Michael Hoffer handled everything, and pushed the insurance company to offer more than I thought they would! I appreciate everything these wonderful ppl have done for me, I’d be in a bad place without them. Give them a shot at taking care of your legal issues. You won’t be disappointed!

27 Jan, 2020 by Laura

I can't say enough about my positive experience with Robyn and her staff. My case was very complicated with many financial details. I was told many times by other attorneys that my case would not end in my favor. I felt that my situation was hopeless. Only until I met Robyn did I feel that I was getting heard. She listened carefully with compassion and wanted to understand the details of my case. She actually cares. I have the upmost respect and gratitude for her. I absolutely listened to any advice she gave me and got her the information she needed to help me. I understood very early in meeting her that she means business and that she would always act in my best interest. Truly amazing. I can't thank her enough for helping me get through such a difficult time in my life. By far, THE best attorney.

John Hogan & his staff were my angels. Their knowledge & patience & understanding got me through a most difficult time in my life. I had been denied twice and I was waiting for a date for a hearing when my current attorney dropped me. Social Security told me I could start collecting my Retirement Benefits while waiting for my hearing. My current attorney said I could not do this. When I emailed him proof from Social Security that I most certainly could do this, they dropped me as their client. That was the greatest gift they could have done for me. This is when I found John Hogan's Law Firm. They were totally honest with me throughout the entire process and always informed me of what to expect next. Their knowledge and honesty and professionalism is unsurpassed. I truly had the worst firm representing me and ended up with the absolute best firm representing me. You can most definitely put your trust in John Hogan's law firm. They do what they say. I put my life in their hands and I couldn't have had a better outcome. I was awarded the maximum that the law allowed as the judge found my case "Fully Favorable" in every area. The angels at John Hogan's Law Firm will take care of you, rest assured.

Great Social Security disability knowledge. Information and advice was clear and concise. Was able to answer all of my questions and clearly knew what to expect from the hearing.

John was the lawyer for our township for several years. I was personally very pleased with his consistent guidance. He dealt with many matters of varied degree, one large wastewater treatment plant. A 10 million dollar project. He was always very professional. He was my personal lawyer &/or advisor on several things for which I was very pleased. Sorry for the delay but I've been unreachable by e-mail. Sincerely, James E W, Jr

03 Mar, 2015 by Todd

John did a great job presenting the facts and defending me when my neighbor was shot. This required outside the box thinking that John did well. As Defense lawyers go, I would put him in close to the top 10%. A good lawyer is not cheap, but will worth it in our corrupt Justice system. John and I worked as a team, which I liked since it was my future at stake. John got to know me as a person and not just a name (or checking account number). He was open to my ideas on how to prove the accusers were lying. One must realize that lawyers are also actors and must impress the jury. John was good. I would use him again if I needed an attorney.

Mr. Jenkins handled a floodway issue that came up when my building burnt in 2016. I went to the county to get a building permit to start rebuilding and I was told that I was in the floodway. After working with the county for a year I could not get the county to listen to anything I said about a mistake FEMA made back in 1984. Mr. Jenkins got with the county attorney and finally got the matter resolved. Mr. Jenkins got the job done and we are starting to rebuild.

I left a message on Chris' voicemail in a moment of desperation. I was going to lose my job over a traffic violation without his help. He called back later that morning and began working on my case immediately! Chris was able to do something no one else considered possible- reopen my case and reduce the charge. He used his connections and a moral plea to save my job within only a few days time. If you put yourself in a jam like I did, hire Chris and trust him to help! Thank you so much, Chris!

18 Aug, 2015 by Jesse

Sometimes in life you find yourself in bad situations that unfortunately you put yourself in. I had made my mind up that I was going to admit my guilt and go at a charge alone, and I'm very pleased I didn't. I met with Chris and he was very knowledgeable and seemed excited to help me out, and after short deliberation with my wife we decided to hire him. He worked hard for me and always took the time to explain what was going on. There are always going to be consequences when you break the law but its great to have someone like Chris on your side to fight for the best possible outcome. I would highly recommend him as an attorney! I hope I never go though this again but if I do Chris Jackson will be the first person I call.

16 Jan, 2015 by Derek & sammy

Living in South Carolina with a legal issue in Georgia was very uncomfortable, especially not knowing anyone in Georgia. I was referred to Chris Jackson by a random attorney I called. Chris was very professional and has a great personality and way more than helpful. I paid his fee over the phone and he literally took care of EVERYTHING from there on out. He resolved the issue was very attentive and I can't express how happy I was to have found him. I hope I don't ever need a lawyer in Georgia again, but if I do, I will call Chris Jackson and I will refer him to anyone in need of his services in the Rome, GA area. His fees were pleasantly affordable too!

Yasha Heidari is a rockstar of the legal world. I have used other attorneys in the past. Mr. Heidari is on another level. I had a complicated case. I spoke with attorneys that gave me all sorts of conflicting advice and none of them made me feel very good about my case. I received Yasha (Mr. Heidari's) name through a personal friend that spoke extremely highly of him and hyped him up. His hype was more than deserved. He is professional, smart, likeable, responsive, and every other quality you would want in an attorney. It's almost like he could see into the future. He seemed 5 steps ahead of everyone. I could go on and on and on. He helped me in a difficult time and I could not be happier with him and the way he handled my case. Yasha is an excellent attorney and I'm lucky I met him.

28 Sep, 2009 by Sheila desey

Yasha Heidari is an excellent attorney. He is prompt, responsive, honest, and very well rounded in many areas of law. It was a pleasure working with him.

05 Sep, 2009 by Dave

I recently used Mr. Heidari and had both great results and great experience. I googled him and found this page, and to my suprise, I'm going to be his first review. I came to know and use Mr. Heidari from a friend of mine who highly recommended him. To be quite honest, when I met him, I thought he seemed a bit younger than attorneys I have used in the past, but I will tell you right now: I will easily give Mr. Heidari my HIGHEST recommendation and will tell anyone, without a doubt, that they can't pick a better choice than Mr. Heidari. It didn't take long for me to learn why my friend gave Mr. Heidari such a high recommendation. First, he is VERY knowledgable. He seemed to have a mastery of all subjects at hand. I've dealt with quite a few attorneys in the past, and I am a professional myself-- I can easily tell when someone is blowing smoke. Mr. Heidari does not blow smoke. He is exceptionally smart. Second, he is extremely responsive. One of my biggest gripes with attorneys I've used in the past is that they didn't keep me in the loop, would take a long time to respond to my calls, etc. This is quite the opposite with Mr. Heidari. When I first met Mr. Heidari, I asked him what made him and his firm special. One of the things he told me was that his firm tried to make each client feel like he or she is their only client. Initially, I thought that was simply good marketing, but I will tell you that he is 100% correct. He made me feel like I was special and always had access to him. I once called him at his office at 9 p.m. at night intending to leave him a voicemail, but to my suprise, he answered the phone and spent around an hour talking to me. When we had difficulty scheduling a meeting and some deadlines coming up, he met with me on the weekend. I even noticed he didn't bill me for most of our conversations and asked him if it was a mistake, to which he responded that's not how he does business. WOW! (My previous attorneys would charge me through the nose if they told me "Good morning".) Third, and definitely most important, he won my case! You should have seen the way he DESTROYED the opposing attorney's arguments! It was a pleasure to see. (I almost felt bad for the opposing attorney. I say ALMOST!) This seemed to be the general trend with Mr. Heidari. Even though I'm not a lawyer and sometimes had difficulty understanding the legal aspects of his letters, e-mails, and court documents, it was even clear to me that he was doing an exceptional job. (Mind you, Mr. Heidari would always explain to me what was going on and tell me the next step that was going to be taken without me having to ask. He was also very patient, understanding, and helpful with all of my questions even though I admit I can be a difficult and demanding person sometimes.) Overall, I've said a lot, but the point is that Mr. Heidari is an exceptional attorney and I'm very happy I used him. I'm not the type of person that writes reviews either. I don't think I've written another review in the past 10 years, but I simply feel exceptionally good about my experience with him. Everything else aside, if I need legal services, I will use him again. This is 100% without a doubt. I simply don't care what the matter is or where the matter is. He's earned my business for life. I will also recommend him to everyone I know (and their uncles) because he is simply that good. Yasha, if you read this, THANK YOU! -Dave Jones

I am beginning my review by stating that if you are in search of a professional, competent, conscientious, compassionate lawyer, then Kevin Tallant is most assuredly that person. When I found myself in need of legal assistance to obtain guardianship/ conservatorship for my aunt, who suffered from progressive dementia, I researched among community members to find the best legal representative for myself. I determined that Kevin Tallant, who had the reputation as an exceptional lawyer with expertise in probate law, was the lawyer for my needs. After working with Kevin for more than two years to acquire and manage the guardianship/ conservatorship for my aunt and, later, after her passing, to settle her estate, I can attest to the fact that he is an exceptional lawyer and human being. He ( and his very supportive staff ) were always an email or phone call away to provide me with legal advice, guidance and, in some instances, moral support. With Kevin's counsel, all probate court processes went extremely smoothly, which reduced my stress during this sometimes overwhelming life experience. Kevin kept me informed of court proceedings, updates and discussed legal options with me on a continuous basis. I can't imagine how I would have gotten through this period in my life without Kevin's valuable assistance. I would recommend Kevin to anyone treading through the complex, frustrating waters of the legal system.

Kevin did a masterful job of defending us in a lawsuit that could have cost us ten of thousands of dollars. We won a jury verdict which compensated us for our losses plus ALL our attorney fees, which is pretty much unheard of. We would highly recommend him to anyone involved in litigation, whether they are a plaintiff or defendant involved in a lawsuit.

Recently we were hit with an outrageously frivolous civil lawsuit. As someone who never had any experience with the court system, we had no idea where to start. We only had 3 weeks to hearing and I frantically called every lawyer in town and surrounding area, but everyone was booked or wouldn’t even return the call. A terrifying place to be. I called this firm and I was promptly transferred to Mr. Schwartz. (WOW! A FIRST!) He listened to my story, asked me some details about the case. I emailed him the court papers and some of my supporting evidence. Quite a bit of it too. He took the time to evaluate the case, consult with his partners, and next day agreed to represent us on such a short notice. Due to logistics, we ended up hiring a local lawyer. (and pray we didn’t make a mistake) Mr. Schwartz was extremely gracious when I told him we’ll go with this other person, wished me all the best, and said he would gladly assist me in the future, if the need ever arises. Not a word about his time spent on my behalf or mention of a payment owed to him. The humanity and character of this lawyer was absolutely astounding, especially after going through the despair of not finding any legal help anywhere else. I SO wish he was local!!! I felt comfortable talking to him, I didn’t feel rushed or a burden. He was not condescending, as most lawyers are I find out, but warm, patient, with a healthy dose of humor, which God knows I needed, didn’t make empty promises, but gave me a realistic picture of the process involved. (also a sobering one). Now, that I blew my chance to have him in my court, if I only get lucky enough that he would not represent the plaintiff! That’s how good I think he is. A shout out to all unresponsive lawyers/firms out there: take a lesson from this gentleman on how to treat a potential client in distress. Return the call in a timely manner, even if you won’t take the case: just say so! It’s common courtesy, so we can move on to the next person. In my experience with him, Mr. Schwartz proved to be an absolute 10* first class act. Highly recommend him (just not to my plaintiff…)

Mr Schwartz is someone you want on your team. He is reliable, resourceful, and has a strong sense of justice. He believed in my cause and he helped me win my case.

What a Government Lawyer Can Do for You

A government lawyer specializes in legal issues related to government policies, regulations, and disputes involving public entities. Whether you are a private individual, business, or government agency, a government lawyer provides expert guidance on navigating the complexities of government law. These attorneys handle cases ranging from constitutional law, administrative law, regulatory compliance, and government contracts to defending or challenging government actions.

Government lawyers help individuals and organizations understand their rights and obligations under the law, represent them in disputes with government agencies, and assist in matters of government contracting, procurement, or public policy.

When Should I Hire a Government Lawyer?

You should consider hiring a government lawyer in several situations involving government regulations, compliance, or disputes. Common reasons to hire a government lawyer include:

Government contracts and procurement: If you are bidding for or negotiating a contract with a government agency, a lawyer can help ensure compliance with federal, state, or local contracting rules.
Regulatory compliance: Businesses operating in highly regulated industries (e.g., healthcare, finance, environmental sectors) often need legal guidance to comply with government regulations and avoid penalties.
Government investigations: If you're being investigated by a government agency such as the IRS, SEC, or EPA, a government lawyer can help defend you against allegations or negotiate settlements.
Challenging government actions: If a government agency has denied a permit, license, or benefit, a lawyer can help you appeal or challenge the decision in court.
Constitutional and civil rights issues: If you believe your constitutional rights have been violated by a government entity, such as in cases involving free speech or discrimination, a government lawyer can help you seek justice.
Public policy or lobbying efforts: If you are involved in lobbying or advocating for policy changes at the local, state, or federal level, a government lawyer can provide legal advice on compliance with lobbying laws and strategies for effective advocacy.

Hiring a government lawyer early in the process can help you navigate complex legal frameworks and avoid costly mistakes when dealing with government-related legal issues.

What Does a Government Lawyer Do?

A government lawyer provides a wide range of services that cover interactions between individuals, businesses, and government entities. They can:

Assist with government contracts: Helping clients navigate procurement laws, drafting contracts, and resolving disputes related to government contracting.
Provide regulatory compliance advice: Offering guidance on meeting regulatory requirements for industries subject to federal, state, or local laws.
Handle administrative law matters: Representing clients before government agencies, such as appealing administrative decisions, applying for permits, or defending against regulatory enforcement actions.
Challenge or defend government actions: Representing clients in lawsuits involving government agencies, including constitutional challenges, civil rights violations, or disputes over government decisions.
Negotiate settlements with government entities: If a government agency is pursuing legal action against you or your business, a lawyer can negotiate settlements to avoid costly litigation.
Advocate for policy changes: Advising clients on legal strategies for influencing public policy, including lobbying and drafting legislation.
Litigate constitutional issues: Handling cases related to the Constitution, such as First Amendment rights, due process violations, or unlawful government actions.

How Are Government Lawyers Paid?

Government lawyers typically charge for their services based on the complexity of the case and the nature of the legal work involved. Common payment structures include:

Hourly rate: For ongoing legal matters, such as regulatory compliance or government contract disputes, lawyers may charge by the hour. Hourly rates can vary depending on the lawyer’s experience and location.
Flat fee: For specific services, such as drafting a government contract or filing an administrative appeal, some lawyers charge a flat fee.
Retainer: For clients who need ongoing legal support, such as businesses frequently interacting with government agencies, a lawyer may charge a retainer fee. This is an upfront payment that covers future legal services.
Contingency fee: In some cases involving litigation, such as civil rights violations, a lawyer may work on a contingency basis, meaning they only get paid if they win or settle the case.

It’s important to discuss fee structures with your lawyer during the initial consultation to avoid surprises.

How Much Does a Government Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a government lawyer depends on the complexity of the legal issue, the lawyer's experience, and their fee structure. Here are some general cost estimates:

Hourly rates: Government lawyers typically charge between $150 and $500 per hour, depending on their experience and the complexity of the case.
Flat fees: For specific legal services, such as drafting a government contract, flat fees can range from $1,000 to $5,000, depending on the nature of the service.
Retainer fees: A retainer for ongoing legal work with government agencies can range from $5,000 to $20,000 or more, depending on the scope and frequency of the work.
Contingency fees: In cases where a lawyer works on contingency, their fee is usually a percentage (typically 25% to 40%) of any settlement or damages awarded if the case is successful.

Be sure to get a clear estimate of costs during your consultation to ensure that you understand the fees associated with your case.

How to Check the Credibility of a Government Lawyer

To ensure you’re hiring a reputable government lawyer, follow these steps to verify their credentials and reputation:

Check state bar association records: Confirm that the lawyer is licensed to practice in your state and has no history of disciplinary actions.
Review their professional experience: Look for specific experience in government-related legal issues, such as regulatory compliance, government contracts, or administrative law, on their website or professional profile.
Read client reviews and testimonials: Check online reviews and ratings on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to get insight into the lawyer’s reputation and track record.
Ask for references: Request references from previous clients who have worked with the lawyer on government-related matters to understand their experience and effectiveness.
Check for membership in relevant organizations: Look for memberships in professional organizations such as the American Bar Association's Administrative Law Section or the National Institute of Government Procurement, which can indicate the lawyer’s focus on government law.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To get the most out of your first meeting with a government lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant information and documents. Here’s what you should bring:

Detailed description of your legal issue: Be prepared to explain your situation, whether it’s a regulatory compliance question, a government contract issue, or a dispute with a government agency.
Relevant documents: Bring any paperwork related to your case, such as contracts, permits, letters from government agencies, or notices of investigation.
A list of questions: Write down any questions you have about your case, including the legal process, potential outcomes, and costs.
Timeline of events: Provide a clear timeline of any relevant events, such as the issuance of government orders or interactions with government agencies.
Goals for the outcome: Be ready to discuss what you hope to achieve, whether it’s a favorable settlement, regulatory compliance, or overturning a government decision.

By being organized and prepared, you can help your lawyer understand your situation more quickly and give you the best legal advice moving forward.
