Family 50%

I really enjoy family law and find that I do things differently from many divorce attorneys. My experience as a certified mediator has influenced my approach to these types of cases. I try to find solutions to problems and to avoid unnecessary bitterness. After all the case will ultimately end - and then the parties have to live with the result. I try to get that result in a way that allows people to move on in their lives in a positive and constructive way.

Satisfied client

I ,luckily, found Jim on the Internet just trying to find an attorney close to the Gwinnette county court area. Jim was always pleasant and professional, also, for my circumstance, reasonably priced. Finally, Jim was instumental in my case being reduced leaving me with my driving privlege intact.

Complicated Custody Case

Mr. Wall started out as my divorce attorney, then when my husband and I decided not to divorce, he took on my husband as a client - with no judgement! Mr. Wall was so impressive in court, even the judge complimented the kind but effective way he dealt with combative prosecution witnesses. His knowled...ge of the law coupled with keen mediation/communication skills, make him a wonderfully effective family attorney and trial lawyer. Mr. Wall took our case at the last minute, was more than reasonable with his rates, and - ultimately, won the case for us! He understood the urgency of getting this case settled, because a child was involved. So, his aptitude for empathy and compassion is unmatched! We would recommend Jim Wall to anyone in need of family litigation or a defense attorney. His tenacity, knowledge of the law, eloquent speaking skills and cool demeanor are a combination that will leave the prosecution dumbfounded while impressing the court beyond measure!

Family Civil Law in Gwinnett

I have only great things to say about my experience with Mr. Wall. Jim made me feel comfortable and confident that my case would be settled fairly and with as little conflict as possible. He is a caring, friendly, diligent, knowledgeable and tenacious attorney. His knowledge of the process, legal en...vironment, and relationships with members of the county justice system made it easy to get my case heard and a decision made. I highly recommend considering Mr. Wall for legal advice and representation. Thank you Jim!

Defense in Fulton State Court

Jim was spot on in his analysis of my case, pushed diligently against an obstinate prosecution while building a cordial and respectful relationship with the court. The result was far better than I expected, protecting my best interests, freedom, and finances.
