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 we 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 five 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 and Savannah.

Founding Attorney, Michael Manely, International High Asset Divorce and Family Law Attorney
Bill King, Divorce and Family Law Attorney, Marietta, Georgia
Dina Khismatulina, Divorce and Family Law Attorney, Atlanta and Lawrenceville
