Georgia graduated Top Ten Percent/Honors at Emory University College of Law. Her extensive experience as an attorney includes both a track record of success in difficult, high stakes litigation and over 6 years’ experience as a staff attorney inside Fulton County’s Family Court. She regularly provides professional training for family lawyers and Judges. She was born and raised in metro Atlanta.

Georgia is proud to offer both Collaborative and Conventional Family Law Services to both traditional and nontraditional families. She has not only assisted numerous parents with custody claims arising from same-sex relationships but has also instructed lawyers and Judges on the legal principles governing this rapidly changing area of the law.

Georgia offers her clients not only her hard and skillful work but also an invitation to focus more on laying a foundation for a good future than on escalating the battle of the moment.  Georgia understands how difficult family litigation can be. She realizes that issues crucial to her client's future happiness may be hanging in the balance.  She keeps her clients informed, forthrightly acknowledging any uncertainties.  She listens to her clients with care and treats them with dignity.

In 2018 Georgia was selected by the AJC as its "Best of Atlanta" Collaborative Divorce and Family Law Attorney. Georgia was admitted to the United State Supreme Court Bar Association in 2015. On that occasion, she enjoyed chatting with Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.

Super attorney!!!
There are many attorneys out there but there is only one special attorney! I dealt with many attorneys both personally and professionally and many can complete a task. But Georgia Lord can do the same with much less stress and pain! If you’re looking for honest, to the point, square attorney, Georgia Lord is the attorney for the job! My experience with Georgia has been outstanding! She is extremely bright, able to figure out underlying facts/problems with very little explanation and explains legal language into a plain English. She practically read my mind and I can always get in contact with her. Georgia put herself in my shoe and gave the most candid opinion I’ve heard. I highly recommend her to solve any problem you might have!

A real person, for real people!
Being in same sex marriage and going through a separation with a child was intimidating. Georgia Lord put me at ease at the first consultation by giving me the best and worse case scenarios and continued as she fought so strongly for me and my daughter. Due to Mrs. Lords compassion and poised execution in every court case...We won and I got my little girl back. There’s no greater prize than the love of your child! Thank you Georgia! You will always be apart of our hearts!

Georgia Lord is an excellent Divorce Attorney. She was patient with me and lead me through the entire process holding my hand. Not only is she extremely knowledgeable about the law, but she showed me kindness and compassion during one of the worst times of my life. I highly recommend Georgia. If you need an excellent divorce attorney, she's the one! Kathy
