Thanks for stopping in to take a look at my contribution to the blogosphere. I hope you find my postings helpful, knowledgeable, timely and (dare I say) occasionally amusing. My goal is to help individuals with divorce and family law issues that are tied to the State of Georgia. To give some basic understanding of the status of the family law in Georgia and to provide insight and access to where you can go to get information that addresses your specific needs. My goal is not to form a lawyer-client relationship. For that, you need to contact my office in order to discuss your specific problems and concerns and I can explain your rights, responsibilities and options.
First, I"d like to share a little about what I do and why I do it. I have been practicing law since 1994 and Divorce and family law has grown to be the largest portion of my law practice. Perhaps the most common questions I get from people that learn I practice Divorce law is some variation on. . . ?That must be an awful way to earn a living"" Frankly speaking, there were times in the past that I couldn"t help but agree. However, this feeling dramatically changed a little over six years ago. With the birth of my first child, and my second, two years later, it opened up a brand new perspective on my Georgia Family Law practice. The service I was providing clients somehow became "realer" and more urgent. I felt as if I had never truly understood the importance and emotional discord felt by those I was representing. Now that I have acquired this new point of view, I feel it makes me both a more determined advocate, as well as giving me a greater understating of the BIG picture facing my clients. I think it has made me a better lawyer, father and husband.
I am now happy to say I work in the Family Law field. Not every case is a happy one and being involved in these matters can still be a gut-wrenching experience. But I know that I am providing a service that is valuable and necessary. With the possible exception of certain areas of criminal law (an area I in which I have never practiced) I believe no other legal practice area deals with issues and circumstances that are as close to the heart as Family Law. This allows me to continue working in a field that others might feel is unpleasant.
