ATTORNEYS AND COUNSELORS AT LAW

Over the past 30 years I have served the Atlanta metropolitan community in the areas of general business law, business litigation, family law, criminal law, and juvenile law. My clients, fathers and mothers, have successfully been awarded custody in custody disputes. I have represented many Fathers in non-traditional roles who were awarded custody. I have successfully negotiated co-parenting models in traditional as well as non-traditional relationships, including unmarried parents as well as same gender loving couples. I believe in the Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) process for resolving disputes. But, I am not afraid to try a case or to litigate an issue before the trial court. I have successfully presented evidence that resulted in the court disregarding the recommendation of the Guardian Ad Litem for awarding custody. I am not reluctant or apprehensive about appealing a matter to the appellate court or responding to an appeal. I have been very successful in the appellate part of my practice and see appellate practice as a means of clarifying the trial court's order where there is uncertainty and a means to refine the case law where vague.

Here are some of my Supreme Court and Court of Appeals cases:

• In Interest of N. A. P., a child A06A2406 (2007)
