An uncontested divorce is when both parties agree on “all” terms of the dissolution of the marriage. This means that there is no dispute as to “any” portion of the divorce, including child support, alimony, and/or custody if any of these issues are applicable. A contested divorce exists when there is a dispute to any issue outlined in the complaint for divorce and/or settlement agreement.

Traffic / DUI Cases
Representation on traffic violations may be critical if you are facing a traffic violation such as DUI, “hit and run”, driving with a suspended/revoked license or no proof of insurance. Cases involving multiple traffic citations are typically more complex and require.
Divorce, Child Support & Custody
From the management of a complex marital property dispute to an emotionally-charged child custody battle, issues involving family disputes, such as child support, divorce and separation agreements are almost always stressful. Secure a divorce attorney who understands the legal process.
Drug Crimes
Sale of controlled substance, possession, trafficking, and conspiracy to violate Georgia’s Controlled Substance Act are major charges with stiff penalties, especially if you are a recidivist. We carefully identify and discuss the issues related to your specific needs and criminal history, which are significant issues when facing a drug charge.
Probation & Petitions For Bond
Violation of probation is one of the most common reasons for re-arrest once convicted. As a probationer, you want an attorney who understands the in’s & out’s of probation violations, and who will consider immediately filing petition for bond or meet to discuss the alleged conditions violated and probability of success at the revocation hearing.
Juvenile Delinquency & Deprivation
We are passionate about defending and helping juveniles. An adjudication of delinquency may result from disrupting public schools or fighting or a more serious offense, such as a designated felony, which carries a maximum of 5 years. Representation includes deprivations, petition for termination of parental rights and truancy.
