About:
I am a partner in one of the only Mother/Daughter law firms in Gwinnett. We strive to make our practice reflect how we would want to be treated if we needed legal assistance. Both Mother and daughter are trained mediators and Guardian ad Litems who strive to be there for our clients when they need us while also trying to keep the focus on what is best for the children, even during highly contested litigation. I also specialize in helping get or defend against Temporary Protective Orders. Family law often involves a party that is bullying the other side. I found that as a family law attorney, I can stand up for my client against their bully, when they cannot on their own.

"I composed this review with the intention that if I assist even a single individual, I have accomplished something positive in the world. As a former client, I approached this mother and daughter legal team with the belief that they would be empathetic, organized, and effective. However, I encountered arrogance, inadequate communication, and a lack of technical proficiency. I invested several thousand dollars without either of them ever advocating for me in the courtroom. I confronted the judge by myself and obtained 50/50 custody, but I lost the home I had acquired prior to marriage as a premarital asset. Please refrain from squandering your time and money, which are invaluable resources, when navigating a divorce from an abusive partner. Through this Google review, you have been forewarned."

"Words can not express the immense gratitude I have for Ms. Sally and her team. Ms. Sally is compassionate, confident, and has amazing judgment and interpersonal skills. She thoroughly communicated with me every step of the way to make sure I understood each process and gave me so much courage through her advice and direction during a hard time. She made sure we were ready for any obstacles that might arise, in my divorce case, through her creativity and perserverence. She truly cares about her clients and got me more than I could have ever hoped for. I am forever grateful to Ms. Sally and her team for all of their time and honesty. I have peace of mind knowing all matters have been settled in good favor. Thank you so much."

"I called her for a consultation months ago to see how much it was. This was after meeting another lawyer which I didn't get a good feeling from. Her response was "I'll give you 15 minutes for free right now tell me what's going on". I had a complicated case involving substance abuse with something most have never heard of. Is she expensive? Heck yeah! But she fought for me and my 5 year old and got me more in my divorce that I had asked for. She is 100% worth the money! You won't regret hiring her. I wanted an attorney who would fight for me and who was also a mom and I got it!"
