Family Law
I handle all facets of ending a marriage or protecting the best interests of children:
- Uncontested Divorce — Your case can be resolved in just over one month and for $600 if you and your spouse can come to agreement on the major issues.
- Divorce and Property Division — If you have significant assets or your spouse is not open to negotiation, I will work to make sure that you get your fair share of the marital estate.
- Custody and Visitation — Fighting over the kids can lead to harm and often creates problems for you and your children down the road. I can guide you to a sensible arrangement without sacrificing your rights.
- Child Support — An accurate determination of financial support at the time of divorce is critical. I am familiar with Georgia's complex new system for child support.
- Support Modifications — I can advise whether you have a good case to increase (or decrease) child support or alimony, and will represent you in these proceedings.
- Custody Modifications — I will assert your interests if the other parent's lifestyle is a threat to your child's welfare, or one of you wants to relocate out of state with the children.
- Legitimation/Paternity — I represent fathers in establishing parentage and visitation rights, or mothers seeking child support.
- Adoption — I can assist with the paperwork and proceedings for stepparent adoption or private adoptions.
Personal Injury
- Car Accidents — If you were seriously injured by a negligent driver, I take on the insurance companies for you to get the compensation you deserve.
Estate Planning, Elder Law and Probate
- Probate Law — I provide knowledgeable counsel to establish a will or powers of attorney; to assert guardianship over an elderly parent; to protect you or the estate in a will contest; and to help clients plan for nursing home care or transfer of assets to children.
