David Canale is a true class act at everything he does. He is extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and is more then respected throughout the Cobb & Cherokee County Courts. David's exceptionally strong eye for detail has been a benefit to me in more than one occasion . David also has a very calm demeanor that was a blessing for me in and out of the courtroom.

This is a large law firm that will help in family law matters but I found them to be overly aggressive and didn't feel like they listened to me. They had their own agenda. The retainer fee was one of the more expensive ones out of the firms I talked to.

When faced with a situation that feels like no one can help, it's critical to choose the right representation. Leh and his team are passionate about giving their clients first class service as they guide them towards achieving the best possible outcome for their case. I highly recommend Meriwether & Tharp.

Leh and his team helped me through a really tough divorce. It was one of those cases that took a long time to get through and even involved a Guardian ad Litem. But, after many battles, we were able to finally get it resolved without trying the case in front of the Judge. I was very happy with the final agreement that was reached. His team fought hard for me, which sometimes meant telling me things I did not want to hear. He helped me work through the mess instead of fighting everything my ex threw at me. It is all too easy to get swept away in the emotions of the situation, and that is when Leh’s team would help me work through the emotions so I did not do something stupid that could hurt my case. Even though it was not pretty during the divorce, my ex and I actually get along now for the kids. Despite the sometimes ugly aspect of the divorce, however, my ex has even referred Leh some cases herself! Dale

My experience with Meriwether & Tharp was absolutely wonderful! I felt like I was in good hands when they were handling my difficult case. They maintained professional and calm when dealing with the opposing lawyer that would become very rude and hyper. I would recommend this firm to anyone in need of these services!!

Attention to detail is important, but during a divorce it is extremely difficult to maintain focus. The process seems overbearing and consuming, seemingly designed to destroy both parties involved. Emotions run high, and good judgement is elusive as confidence erodes. I can honestly say that the best decision made was to engage Meriwether & Tharp. This is a special thanks to all of the staff involved. Their professionalism, courtesy, attention to detail and sound advice helped me stay grounded. They guided me through the complicated process, always striving to ensure the best possible outcome. I highly recommend this team! To Leh, Andrew, Carly and Amy... Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. I am so happy that you were in my corner!

Leh Meriwether and his team routinely provide excellent counsel and go that extra mile to make sure that the best possible outcome for the whole family is the primary goal. He not only handled my mediation, but will routinely help with critical answers when I need them. My children have directly benefited from his good advice and I have been able to avoid a lot of unnecesary conflict and stress. If you have to deal with divorce, his team is the one you want on your side.

Meriwether & Tharp and everyone who works with this group have always been extremely professional and available. They answered all my questions promptly and really took the time to walk me through the process. We are so happy with their service and will be continuing to use them in the future. Highly recommended to everyone.

I was never married to my ex, we had actually had a child together and were fighting over custody of my daughter. A year up until we went to mediation my ex never paid child support instead only spend approximately $200 a month on diapers, wet wipes and formula and I paid for her child care and other essentials by myself including a house for us to live in and not once did he help. I never once withheld my daughter from my ex, he got see her twice a week with an over night stay. He got jealous of the man I was with and decided to take me to mediation to "protect his rights to his child." I was scared, especially since with him not paying child support and helping with anything he had a lot more money than I did to go through with everything. He only started helping to make himself look good just in case we had to go to court. I researched lawyers around my area when I finally came up with enough for a retainer and found Meriwether and Tharp. Mr. Leh Meriwether and his wonderful staff at the Woodstock location were extremely helpful in my situation both financially and tactfully. They never once hindered my case when I couldn't come up with the money, like my ex's lawyer did. Instead they carried through and helped me out in so many ways. They were not once nasty to the opposing party but were firm with the whole situation. In situations like mine when the relationship between the two opposing parties was a horrible one before separation, it is hard to be mutual, respectful and cordial with one another. Mr. Leh and his staff taught me how to talk to my ex and how to handle situations in a very tactful and respectful way instead of being rude or very ugly. After the visitation mediation my ex and his lawyer went "quiet" and never once pursued to schedule the child support mediation hoping I would give up or run out of money. Mr. Leh and his staff then took action against them, filing a Motion to Compel and setting up a time on the Calendar for a court hearing. In the end my ex broke down and gave up some of his visitation time and now has to pay the amount of Child Support he should of paid in the past, 55% of our daughters Child Care and having to pay half of my attorney fees for dragging the case for as long as he did. I could not have been any more pleased with this law firm for everything that they have done for me. They don't look at you just as a client but as a person as well. I highly recommend them to anyone who has been through the same situation as mine.

I have utilized the legal services of Meriwether and Tharp several times over the last six years and I have always been completely satisfied with the outcome. In divorce and child custody there really is no 'winner', but I've always come out of my situations better than I could have hoped, due in large part to Leh Meriwether and Elizabeth Doak. They seem to know when to fight and when to compromise and the results have always been in my best interests. I cannot recommend them enough and will continue to utilize their services when the need arises. Thank you Leh and Elizabeth for all your help and guidance.
