Attorneys Judy Sartain and Catherine Sartain were fantastic. Their whole team of attorneys, paralegals, and staff guided me through the legal process and obtained the desired outcome with flying colors! Look no further with your search for representation... Stearns-Montgomery & Proctor will take good care of you and your situation.

Does not return phone calls and lies that papers have been filed. Worst lawyer ever!

We reached out to Judy Sartain for our complex private adoption needs, and let me tell you, if you need someone in family law, Judy And her team will get it done!! They worked SO hard for our family, and 14 months later, thanks to them our little girl is OFFICIALLY a Frey. Thank you, Judy, Kristy, Catherine, Stephanie, Maira and Brittni!!! Yall are AMAZING.

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.

My husband and I would like to give a BIG thanks to Stearns-Montgomery &Proctor, that took our case in adoption, first of all ms. Judy great leader that's knows what she is doing and how she does it, Stephanie great representative and did an awesome job we are very happy with the work the whole entire team did great communication with client everything was done sooner than expected very happy, with results totally recommend this team with a 100% satisfaction 👏👏

The Sartain team was quick to help us finalize the adoption of our sons. The team was very quick to respond to any question or communication we had. The team was very professional and Attorney Sartain was available and walked us through court day with ease. We highly recommend this firm.

***FRIVOULOUS FEES EXPERTS*** The most expensive, time-consuming, and irresponsible law firm I've ever dealt with. The Forsyth County lawyer I was assigned wasn't even in the same county. Made a lot of sense when I had to go to their office in Marietta. Didn't know what they were doing. The courts were backed up for 9 months till they could process a simple uncontested divorce decree. While in limbo I would keep getting charged even if they talked about my case in a meeting. Not very pleasant. Cost me thousands of dollars over the quoted estimate. Even lying there was a possibility of money back. This law firm doesn't intend to ever give money back. My life was turned upside down in the '08 crash and a bankruptcy lawyer just set the bar way too high for my expectations of ever dealing with a lawyer again. Unfortunate things happen... and very unfortunate I chose Stearns-Montgomery & Proctor too large for their britches, to represent me. I was forced to spend thousands and was warned not to contest erroneous frivolous fees. After it was all done, I lost thousands more at the expense of them working with another law firm to absolve assets in a home sale. Zero help with the title law firm to ensure I was paid my fair share in the divorce settlement. Sat on my earnest money in the sale of the home for almost a whole month earning interest from my money while they decided how to cut my check to me after the County Judge finally signed off on the divorce. DO NOT USE IN FORSYTH COUNTY. This complaint could be soooo much longer.

We tasked Judy Sartain with a nearly impossible task, and she was innovative and aggressive on our behalf. Judy is a fighter, a winner, and an ally who knows adoption and juvenile courts better than anyone. I recommend her with the highest praise I can possibly give.

I recently had my first experience needing legal assistance and I can't be more satisfied with the team I hired. The whole process only took a few months, and the team was exceptional with their communication, keeping me informed every step of the way. They were professional, knowledgeable, and very personable. They made sure to explain everything thoroughly and provide me with all the information I needed. Dealing with legal matters can be stressful and uncertain, but Judy and her team provided me with a clear plan from the beginning, which gave me confidence in reaching my goals. Catherine Sartin was always present for every court appearance and was extremely thorough, catching even the smallest mistakes that could have been overlooked. Judy and her team offered excellent insight into the case and managed expectations effectively. Their predictions from the beginning were on point, and there were no surprises along the way. After the final court hearing, the court staff praised my legal team for their knowledge and professionalism. I am grateful for the support of the whole team and I highly recommend them for their exceptional service.

I cannot say enough good things about Stearns-Montgomery & Proctor. I have used them for 3 family court cases that spanned three years. Judy Sartain and team worked tirelessly to get my cases through the legal system in 2 different counties victoriously. Thankfully my grandchildren are now in a safe and stable home. I highly recommend this law firm and specifically the Sartain team, to anyone dealing with family law matters. They are highly knowledgeable and able to work through DFCS to resolve child placement issues. If you need a strong team on your side to face the impossible, the Sartain and team is who you need.

We hired the team for a step-parent adoption and the entire process took just a few months with no complications. The team is extremely great on communication and keeping you in the loop, they are knowledgeable, professional, and personable. They will break things down and give you every set of information you need. Stephany came in person for our court appearance and was on top of it!! She was able to catch even the most minor mistakes from the courts end that could have been easily over looked and had everything done exactly as it should be. Judy and Carly have given amazing knowledge on the entire case as a whole and the expectations, everything they said from the very start is exactly how the case went with no surprises. And shoutout to Pam, that is one helpful woman!! Would definitely recommend this team

Destin is a really good lawyer. She's very honest and gets the job done. If you want someone who treats you like family and wins her cases then hire Ms. Gillum.
