This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Attorney Shalamar is a life saver!

When I first consulted with Shalamar, I was overwhelmed and dismayed with my case. She immediately put my mind at ease and I knew she was the perfect one to help me. And that she did!! She quickly jumped on the case and helped to solve problems that my ex-husband was causing. Two years later, the... case is finally closed and I could not be more pleased with Shalamar and her expertise. She is very professional, knowledgeable, and very sensitive to your needs. She is an all around class act and definitely a person you would want to represent and support you. I am so grateful to have found Shalamar and I would recommend her 100 times over. Thank you Shalamar!!

stay sway

Hired this attorney for contempt action after getting rid of previous counsel because of issues with what I believed to be unnecessary charges, started out great with Parham but then we had disagreements, and then she got mad and mysteriously my $1900 retainer that was left was gone in 5 days after h...er sending an email letting me know my retainer was non refundable, She withdrew as attorney and charged ne for doing it,me and my wife knew she would do it and she did. If you are father ,please find a different Attorney ,I an in the process of filing formal complaint with Georgia state Bar,and better business bureau.

Leonard Thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately, the Rules of Professional Conduct prohibit me from specifically addressing your allegations in a public forum. One of my top priorities is providing quality and excellent legal representation and service to each and every client. It is unfortunate to hear that my legal advice and services were not well-received in your case. I welcome you to call me at 678-439-1482 if you should have any other concerns. Shalamar Parham

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
