    From Our Clients

    We can talk about our experience, dedication to family law and unique team approach, but there is something more valuable-what our clients say about their personal experience with us.

    Attorney (Ryan) Proctor is simply the best. Not only is he knowledgeable, he and his team took the time to educate me every step of the way. I was treated with dignity and respect every step of the way. If there was ever a change that needed to happen, I was notified promptly and given options. Every email and phone call I sent was responded to in a timely manner. I was blessed to have Attorney Proctor and his team work with me. I could not have asked for better representation in court. He and his team truly went above and beyond my child and I and I’m forever grateful. Ryan considered me as a person, not just another case. I can’t thank this team enough.
    Ms. Anne Thompson and her team were absolutely wonderful to work with. They made it easy to communicate and maintain pertinent documents through their online system of record. Ms. Thompson was very responsive and ensured we had a solid plan prior to going into our hearing. Pricing is fair compared to other attorneys I’ve worked with. Highly recommend!

    " ..thank you to the amazing set of lawyers, paralegals and staff that dedicated their time and energy to helping my brother. Each person went to bat so strongly, emotionally and passionately for my brother and his children. "
    Attorney (Ryan) Proctor is simply the best. Not only is he knowledgeable, he and his team took the time to educate me every step of the way. I was treated with dignity and respect every step of the way. If there was ever a change that needed to happen, I was notified promptly and given options. Every email and phone call I sent was responded to in a timely manner. I was blessed to have Attorney Proctor and his team work with me. I could not have asked for better representation in court. He and his team truly went above and beyond my child and I and I’m forever grateful. Ryan considered me as a person, not just another case. I can’t thank this team enough.
    Ms. Anne Thompson and her team were absolutely wonderful to work with. They made it easy to communicate and maintain pertinent documents through their online system of record. Ms. Thompson was very responsive and ensured we had a solid plan prior to going into our hearing. Pricing is fair compared to other attorneys I’ve worked with. Highly recommend!
    I'm fortunate to have worked with Ryan Proctor and Kristen Proud on my divorce case. Ryan is extremely personable, always communicated very well. I highly recommend Ryan, his team, and this firm. Thank you, Ryan!

    Ryan Proctor guided me through the process and treated my case as if I was a part of his family. ...when I was really down and not handling the stress instinctively, Ryan would call on me to see how I was doing. "
    " They know their stuff PERIOD. "
    " Everyone I’ve met from the clerical staff, bookkeepers to the paralegals wants to ensure your questions are answered to the best of their ability - and if they don’t know, they will be expedient in finding out the answer. "

Not only does he possess massive amounts of knowledge, dedication and willingness to go above and beyond for his clients. He genuinely cares for his clients. He is very easy to work with, talk to and share things with. It is easy to see why he is one of the best Lawyers in Georgia. Kristen his paralegal is the exact same way. She doesn't miss a thing. Her abilities are endless and she makes everything seem so easy and comfortable. Najah the accountant was always on point letting me know where I stand financially. I was never out of the loop with this Firm. Rounding off the team is attorney Nauman Siddique with his attention to detail and hands on approach. It was a long 17 month situation. I just don't have enough words to ever say thank you. If I ever need a Lawyer again.. This is who I will gladly pick.
