I was recently involved in a car accident and the state trooper ruled me at fault despite me have video evidence. My attorney Ron showed up on time to court and had my charges completely dismissed. Can’t recommend Debranski & Associates enough!

11 years ago he was my divorce lawyer. I can say that at all meetings he was silent and asleep. 6 years ago, my daughter graduated from school at the age of 19, and according to the law, I stopped paying child support to her mother and I began transferring all this money directly to my daughter - I helped my daughter with her college studies. Now, due to inaccurate wording in my divorce agreement, my ex-wife is suing for all of the money I gave to my daughter, plus several thousand more on top. I lost almost 40 K. He was unprofessional as my lawyer and took advantage of my depression, ignorance of the law and imperfect knowledge of the English language. I feel very sorry for all his clients. My current lawyer explained these nuances to me.

I contacted her for some legal advice and she was super helpful. I didnt up needing to hire an attorney. She actually told me what I needed to do to handle a specific situation. I would recommend Natalie to anyone needing legal help. If she can't help she won't try to sell you. Very respectful as well.

I have used Natalie's legal services since Feb 2019 and still so today. Highly recommend you call to discuss your needs. At some point in your life you will most likely need a lawyer's services and where do you go searching - the internet of course as most of us don't want share our need with friends/family so that's where the confusing part begins - who to select, who to trust, who can we afford, do we really need them. Some of us will see that big attorney commercial and call and become a billable number - been there done that before as well. Who do you think is paying for that commercial and big office and big staff - you are! I was referred to Natalie by 2 separate friends (not in the same friend group who I actually shared my situation with). I am glad I called and followed their recommendation. She is a small boutique attorney that takes her time to help and guide you through your legal needs. You want just be another client, you will be her client. You may make a new friend in the process. She takes each case and personally involves herself to fight the fight for your legal rights. She specializes in many areas of family law - divorce, wills, guardianship, power of attorney, trusts, probate, child custody, special needs (is a parent to special needs child). She not only knows the law but knows how to use the law in the courtroom to help your case. She gives you her cell number, who does that? She does! She will get back to you as her schedule and your schedule allows days/nights/weekends/holidays if need be. Who does that? Natalie does that. While no attorney can specialize in every field of law, she knows if she can help you or if she needs to refer you to her well known attorney associates that perhaps would be better fitted for your needs. We are all human with emotions and financial/non-financial needs - chances are she has also experienced first-hand in her own life what you may be going through now. Don't hesitate any longer - give her a call, tell her Big E recommended her.

Divorce is never fun but Natalie made the experience easy and quick. She answered all my questions even though I thought some of them were stupid she never made me feel inferior, even when I had to ask her twice. Since I don’t plan on getting divorced again I can’t say I would use her again, LOL, but I would definitely recommend her to any of my close friends.

In my injury case I had hired 2 other attorneys, who did not return my calls or take interest in my case. I was miserable with my injuries, trying to recover and the people I hired to protect my rights. Out of frustration and ready to give up I sought recommendation through friends, and was given Mr. Dickinson name. Mr. Dickinson took my case in the direction that was needed. He is a man of action and true to his word. Mr. Dickinson and his team were responsive to me and let me know what steps were being taken and what was needed from me. He did not allow the apposing attorneys take the lead in the direction of my case; he truly battled them on the legal front. My case was unique in that is was both workers compensation and personal injury. His recommendation for a workers compensation attorney to assist was and excellent choice as well. Because of the work that Mr. Dickinson did on my case I was justly compensated for my injuries at last. I would highly recommend the Dickinson Law firm, he and his team will worked diligently on my case. On a score of 1-10 Mr. Dickinson would be a 10++.

Curtis Dickinson explained in detail what to expect and how to proceed. I appreciated his candor. He was kind and thorough. Although it took a while to settle he walked me through the process seamlessly even when it seemed confusing and sometimes scary.

Caryn, Kelly and their team handled my divorce that had great potential of being ugly. The emails, phone calls, texts, etc. however you like communication they are on top of it. Explanations of steps and what is going on and/or coming next helped my stress level keep to a minimum. My husband even felt comfortable enough with this team, not to hire a different attorney. This firm was recommended to me by a friend. I did not go thru Avvo, but I hope it helps someone else who needs a compassionate team in their corner.

Caryn’s firm prepared my family trust. I personally consulted with her on how to handle some complicated and tricky situations. Her advice was spot on and extremely helpful. She advised on items we had not even thought of or considered. Her explanations are precise, concise, and unconditionally principled. She is absolutely the first person I would go to if I were in need of legal expertise or advice.

I highly recommend Caryn for her exceptional service, support and professionalism. From start to finish, she and her team provided exceptional support, always available to answer my questions and address any concerns. She made the entire process smooth and stress-free, clearly explaining every step along the way. This was very important to me, as I have no experience or legal knowledge. Her accessibility and dedication to her clients are truly commendable. I thank her very much for that! If you need legal assistance, Caryn S. Fennell is someone you can trust for top-notch representation and care.

  2. How do you charge for your services, and what are the estimated costs?
    Understand the fee structure, including hourly rates, flat fees, retainer fees, and any additional expenses.
  3. Who will be handling my case?
    Find out if the lawyer will handle your case personally or delegate tasks to other attorneys or paralegals.
  4. What is your approach to resolving cases like mine?
    Learn about their strategy, whether they prefer negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
  5. What potential outcomes can I expect?
    While no lawyer can guarantee results, they can provide an assessment of possible scenarios based on their experience.
  6. How will you communicate with me throughout the process?
    Establish expectations for updates, preferred communication methods, and response times.
  7. What is the expected timeline for my case?
    Get an estimate of how long the process may take from start to finish.

    Testimonials or references can provide insight into the lawyer's professionalism and effectiveness.

Can a Lawyer Represent Me in Courts Outside of Woodstock, Georgia?

Whether a lawyer can represent you in courts outside of your city or state depends on their licensure and the jurisdiction of the court:

  • Within the Same State:
    Lawyers licensed in a particular state can typically practice anywhere within that state, including all cities and counties. They can represent you in both state and federal courts located in that state.
  • Outside of Their Licensed State:
    If your case is in a different state, the lawyer must be licensed in that state to represent you. However, there are exceptions:
    • Pro Hac Vice Admission: An out-of-state lawyer can request special permission to represent a client in a specific case in another state. This requires filing a motion with the court and often working in conjunction with a local attorney.
    • Federal Courts: If your case is in federal court, a lawyer licensed in any state may be able to represent you, provided they are admitted to practice in that particular federal court.
  • International Representation:
    For cases outside the United States, different rules apply, and the lawyer may need to comply with the foreign country's legal requirements or collaborate with local counsel.

It's important to discuss your specific situation with the lawyer to determine if they can represent you in the desired jurisdiction and what steps may be necessary to do so.

How to Check the Credibility of a Lawyer

Before hiring a lawyer, it's crucial to verify their credibility and ensure they're qualified to handle your case:

  • Verify Their License:
    Check with your state's bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing. Most state bar websites have an online directory for this purpose.
  • Experience and Specialization:
    Ensure the lawyer specializes in the area of law relevant to your case. Review their website, professional profiles, and case history.
  • Disciplinary Record:
    Look up any history of disciplinary actions or complaints through the state bar association's records.
  • Client Reviews and Testimonials:
    Read reviews on legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, Google, or Yelp to gauge client satisfaction and experiences.
  • Professional Memberships:
    Membership in professional organizations or specialty bar associations can indicate a commitment to their field and adherence to high ethical standards.
  • Awards and Recognitions:
    Honors from reputable organizations reflect expertise and a positive reputation in the legal community.
  • Consultation Assessment:
    Use the initial consultation to evaluate their communication skills, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns.
  • Ask for References:
    A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients who can speak to their abilities and professionalism.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your initial meeting with a lawyer, come prepared with:

  • Relevant Documents:
    Bring all documents related to your case, such as:
    • Contracts or agreements
    • Correspondence (emails, letters, texts)
    • Legal notices or court papers
    • Financial records (if applicable)
    • Evidence (photos, videos, receipts)
  • Written Summary:
    Prepare a concise written summary of your situation, including key dates, events, and parties involved. This helps the lawyer quickly understand the context.
  • List of Questions:
    Write down any questions you have about your case, the legal process, fees, or the lawyer's experience.
  • Financial Information:
    If your case involves financial matters, bring relevant documents like pay stubs, tax returns, bank statements, or invoices.
  • Contact Information:
    Provide details of any witnesses or other parties relevant to your case, including their names and contact information.
  • Personal Identification:
    Bring a valid photo ID for verification purposes.
  • Pen and Notebook:
    Take notes during the consultation to remember important points discussed.
  • Budget Constraints:
    Be ready to discuss your budget and any financial limitations so the lawyer can provide appropriate guidance on fees and payment options.
  • Openness and Honesty:
    Be prepared to discuss your case candidly. Full disclosure allows the lawyer to give accurate advice and anticipate potential challenges.
