I was being bullied by a lawyer who handled my divorce. He gave up on my case when my money ran out and I lost everything that was important to me (my children). He didn't want a payment plan, just money or nothing. Fast forward three years and I start receiving emails stating i still owe $3000. I kept asking for them to send me an invoice of my bill or something proving that I owed more money. I was harassed by these emails for months and they weighed heavily on me. I reached out on the next door app to get advice from any of my neighbors who had been through a similar situation. Mr. Halberg contacted me and gave me his contact info. After giving him all the details, he handled the situation in a very professional and cordial manner and I haven't heard from the bully lawyer since. Mr. Halberg charged me absolutely nothing to help me out and i am eternally grateful. He is a really good man and a really good human.

I recommend that everyone avoid this attorney at all costs as I believe his performance to be terrible. I initially hired Blake Halberg in 09/16 to modify my divorce decree with the primary goal of downward modification or elimination of alimony and several other modifications such as a more amicable split in transportation of my son between me and my ex-wife. During our initial consultation and Blake Halberg's review of my divorce decree I was assured this would be no problem and very easy to accomplish my stated goals. Upon filing the appropriate paperwork with the court and communicating with opposing counsel I was advised by Blake Halberg in 04/17 that the "lump sum" type of alimony awarded to my ex-wife is non-modifiable under Georgia law. This key fact was never communicated to me at any time by Blake Halberg and I now I have absolutely nothing to show for the $6,000.00 paid to attorney Blake Halberg for his services in addition to $2200.00 more I have been billed but am refusing to pay. Upon learning of his failure to achieve my stated goals I immediately terminated attorney Blake Halberg and have retained a different attorney which has only just now been resolved in April of 2018.

Blake is an extremely competent Family Law attorney. My son was not receiving the treatments and therapies that are necessary for an Autism diagnosis. When we pulled the school records he had missed 50% of the school year where he had an IEP. This was concerning and could have negative repercussions on my sons life. I changed my divorce petition to primary physical custody and we won! Now my son is receiving the recommended classes and therapies and the difference is like night and day. I will be forever grateful for the work Blake did for us.

Blake is an excellent attorney who goes the extra mile to help and represent his clients. I highly recommend Blake is you have an issue or issues in the Family Law area.

As a man I was concerned about the effects a divorce would have on my relationship with my two children. I had heard about Blake's reputation as someone that fights hard and is successful in getting men physical custody of their children. Blake scheduled a temporary hearing in the case, prior to the hearing we reached an agreement where I would share physical custody of my children with my wife. After several months my wife was unable to take care of the children when they were with her and she would drop them off to me on her time. Blake then set the case for a final hearing, and prior to the final hearing after Blake took her deposition, she agreed to my having sole physical custody of my children. I am forever grateful to Blake for his efforts that led to me receiving custody of my children. He worked with me on the fees as he felt very strongly that I should receive custody of my children. I am forever indebted to him for his work on my behalf.

Blake took my case without a retainer and was able to make my husband pay his attorney's fees. He got me primary physical custody of my children, maximum child support, alimony and seventy percent of the retirement accounts. My husband threatened to take custody of my children, but once Blake got into the case things totally changed in my favor. I can't say enough about what a wonderful, caring lawyer that he is.

Mr. Halberg recently represented me in my contested divorce case. After 16 years of marriage it was a complicated process and it involved my 3 children. Blake was aggressive on my behalf and showed a genuine, caring concern for my children and their best interest. He was always available to answer my questions. He even gave me his personal cell phone number and returned my calls (and answered my emails) promptly. He was extremely knowledgeable and confident in the courtroom. He doesn't play games and he doesn't waste your time or money. He got me a substantial alimony settlement and I maintained full custody of my children. He's got over 25 years of experience and I highly recommend him, especially in cases involving children. Thank you so much, Blake, for fighting so hard for me.

Blake represented me in a divorce and custody case. My ex-wife and her attorney were very litigeous and we could not come to a reasonable resolution for custody and visitation for our two children. My ex-wife threw out many untrue allegations regarding me and our chlidren. After a five day trial, I was awared sole physical custody of my children. Blake was able to weed through all of the stumbling blocks my ex-wife threw out at me. His cross-examination of her caught her in numerous lies about me and the children, showing the court that she was not a fit parent to have custody. If you want a bulldog in the courtrtoom I would highly recommend Blake Halberg. He will look after your and your children's interests.
