Michelle Cross was such a wonderful attorney to have on our side. She fought for a lesser charge and we we very pleased with the outcome.

Michelle Cross displayed an amount of professionalism and dedication that is hard to find. She listened and gave a genuine comfort in knowing that she cared about assisting me in all aspects of my case. I highly recommend her.

Attorney Michelle was able to get my case resolved quickly and in a manner that was above and beyond what I had expected. Will definitely be using Atlanta's Law Firm LLC again in the future!! 🙏🏼

I am in the midst of an extremely cruel and complex divorce that spans immigration, family, custody, and child support, division of property, and criminal law all at once! My case is a serious one and i am faced with much to lose, so hiring a smart attorney increases your chances of a fair trial. Whitney Mauk brings a much needed touch of sophistication and grace to the family court "mud throwing" arena. In short, she is the opposite of a greasy attorney. It is an honor to be represented by an attorney with integrity, and I believe this resonates well with the various authorities of the court. You can take pride that no matter what the outcome or verdict, she will lead you through it with your dignity intact. She has acted as a true professional and moral center in an otherwise monstrous and vindictive divorce. I highly recommend hiring her if you need to navigate a complex and messy divorce, and you need someone to guide you down the right path to a fair trial. She may give you homework assignments that require a little groundwork on the part of the client, but rest assured she'll ensure you achieve the best possible outcome no matter how dismal or nasty the circumstances may be for your situation.

Although my case is ongoing (since July 2015) the work performed thus far warrants a positive review. Ms. Mauk was recommended by an attorney I worked with in my professional career because he doesn't handle family law or divorce issues. In the early stages Ms. Mauk was quick to answer questions about my case, and when I was the one surprisingly served with an action before the court she was quick to provide a case strategy. (If I would have hired Ms. Mauk PRIOR to my divorce instead of years later trying to work through correction of a poorly written divorce decree I would be much better off today.) My former spouse filed a declaratory judgment action asking the court to “re-write” a section of our mediated divorce decree. The plaintiff sought, “relief from uncertainty” as to what was owed toward joint and several marital debt. This was despite an agreement of 50% each party. (It’s complicated.) Throughout the case Ms. Mauk has educated me on matters of law that were unclear to me and reassured me our strategy would ultimately prove better than the approach I might have preferred. She listened to my concerns and we worked as a team, within the parameters of the law, to move forward with defense motions, mediation, and offers of settlement. Unfortunately, when dealing with an adverse party who has little regard for the law a case cannot be forced to conclusion. The plaintiff, my ex-spouse who originally filed the declaratory judgment action, has now dropped the case presumably after realizing there was no way to “win” it. Our case will now sit dormant for a little while and I will continue to sleep well knowing I have a very competent representative on my side. At some point in the future the case may move forward, but it will be on different terms as I’ll be the plaintiff seeking equity in the 50% that was agreed to in the original divorce decree. During the case Ms. Mauk was very upfront about case strategy, costs involved, and her recommendations on moving forward. I never felt as though Ms. Mauk was looking for ways to increase billing against the held retainer. Some attorneys have a reputation for representing themselves BEFORE their clients. Although good representation comes at a price poor representation is much more expensive in the long run. I will highly recommend Ms. Mauk to any friends or family who find themselves in need of a family law attorney. I’d also encourage those who find themselves in the unfortunate situation where divorce is the only option to please use a good attorney as it will save you trouble and expense in the long run.
