Posted on Google b c our lawyer was attentive and gave us confidence that they were detailed and covered all our bases to ensure that the divorce case went as smoothly as possible. the whole team was also very attentive with our questions throughout the process. the reason why i am not giving a full 5 stars is that our final bill was quite costly, and while our lawyer did show some effort to try to minimize the cost of our legal fees as much as possible at times, there were also a few moments where some costs were put on our bill that seemed avoidable.Posted on Google Kimberly Pichon This is a great law firm. I worked with Julia Spitler as my lawyer and her collogues and they were extremely helpful. It took me a while to find a lawyer for divorce because my ex and I had worked out most things ahead of time and we were very specific in things we wanted to do. Julia was very good at giving me the advice I needed to make sure I wasn't missing anything and that I was protected from every angle. I was extremely happy with the turn out and I appreciate all the work that went into getting it done. I will be recommending her to my friends if and when a time comes that they need a divorce attorney.Posted on Google CrossFit Lanier Very responsive and helpful!Posted on Google Anna Janoff Emily, Jennifer, and Madison were a wonderful team for my divorce. Emily took the time to meet me and connect as a person, and the team took care to give me the best service while being mindful of what it cost. Everyone I spoke to was communicative, knowledgeable, and kind. I would happily recommend them to a friend and will be reaching out if I need legal services in the future.
