Benjamin King/Pet Wants of Johns Creek

Pet Wants has redefined the meaning of “fresh” in the pet food industry. To them, fresh means from the manufacturer to your pet’s bowl in weeks, not months. They have raised the bar in animal wellness and nutrition for over a decade. Their proprietary pet food is made using natural and fresh ingredients, including salmon, chicken, lamb and brown rice. There are no added sugars, no corn, and no animal by-products. They never use corn, wheat, soy or dyes.

Part 2: The Impact of Finances on Family Law

00:00 /

At The Manely Firm, P.C., they know not just Georgia family law, but the way family law is practiced in specific courts in individual counties all around the state, like the courts in Forsyth, Gwinnett, Fulton or Cobb County. Even within the same court, one family law judge is likely to handle a matter differently than another and they have the experience to know that.

Established in the community with a strong rapport with members of the legal system, they are familiar with the family law judges and their staff and can help their clients predict results based on in-depth knowledge and experience. It can be critical for your lawyer to anticipate your judge’s preferences so that you have every opportunity to achieve positive results.

Check out one of their convenient locations throughout the Atlanta metro area and in Savannah. Rather than having one central location in downtown Atlanta, their law offices are located right next to the local courthouses in Marietta, Lawrenceville, Cumming, Savannah, and now London!
