I hired Andee for my divorce case. I had another lawyer that I had to let go because he wouldn't respond to me and I didn't feel he truly cared about me or my case. I was given Andee's name. I can say that she will fight for you, your children, and your future. She is very responsive, and has a wo...

"Ms. Hastings is one of the most skilled and professional family lawyers in Georgia. I have worked with her on many cases and always found her to be an excellent strategist and courtroom attorney. In addition, she has a strong commitment to helping the client get the best possible result, whether through litigation, negotiation, or collaboration. I highly recommend her."
"Ms. Hastings is an excellent attorney. Working on a case with Ms. Hastings always results in effective and efficient resolution of a case, no matter how complex the issues. It is of utmost importance to clients in a divorce or family law situation to have an attorney who is respected by attorneys, judges, and court professionals working in the community. Ms. Hastings is well respected and ethical. I am always pleased when she is on the opposite side of the table from me in a case because I know I can trust her and I know that she will work hard to ensure that a divorce case or family law related case is resolved with the clients best interests as the center and focus of the resolution. I recommend Ms. Hastings."
"I highly endorse this lawyer. Andrea and I have worked on a number of Collaborative Divorces together. All of these cases have been successful in large part due to Andrea's wealth of experience, sound legal advice and compassion and dedication to her client and the family. I do not hesitate to refer cases to her. She is a strong asset to Family Law attorneys in Atlanta."
"Andee is an excellent advocate for her clients and a skilled and talented litigator. I would recommend her without hesitation to any of my clients in need of representation in family law matters."
