I am currently accepting divorce cases and handling auto accident and personal bankruptcy cases statewide. My firm is recognized for our aggressive representation, meticulous preparation, and fair, flat fees. As a potential client, you can be confident in my extensive experience and dedication to your case, ensuring that you receive the personal attention your case demands. With over 24 years of practice, I am well-regarded by both opposing attorneys and judges.
Please be aware that I do not handle family law cases involving DFCS.
I maintain a very low caseload, which allows me to handle only one trial matter at a time. This means you won't have to worry about me being unavailable for your important hearing due to scheduling conflicts. I dedicate time to each client and each case, providing my undivided attention. Rest assured, I will personally handle your case from start to finish without delegating it to an associate.

- Q. Divorce asset and debt division involving home and credit card debts in Georgia.
- A: Most attorneys won't give specific advice because there isn't enough information to do so. In order to give advice about how a case is likely to turn out, we need to see all the financial discovery. I woild suggest that if you have a credit card in your name that hes using, you may want to freeze it or remove his access because it's a possibility you will get stuck with all debt in your name.
- Q. Proper service of paternity papers to athlete via agent?
- A: No, you cannot serve custody papers to an agent. You will have to locate him and serve him.
- Q. Who does a pro bono work for family law?
- A: First, you have to follow your parenting plan and give the required notice in writing with an address. If he does not agree, you will likely need to follow a modification. Respectfully, most attorneys are not going to want to handle a custody case for free, so you may need to prepare a litigation budget.
