Justin Hood Hayes

I came to Justin Hayes to help me navigate the end of a 30-year marriage. I had an agreement in principle with my wife to negotiate rather than litigate, but that agreement was in peril every minute until Justin obtained her final signoff. A court fight would have been disastrous. I needed a lawye...r who could craft and negotiate an agreement fair to both parties and protective of me, all the while standing ready to fight in court if necessary. That’s exactly what I got with Justin. He convinced my ex-wife and her lawyer to sign the agreement as he drafted it. Making that more difficult was the fact that he also had to convince them to agree to Georgia jurisdiction, as we never lived in Georgia together. He was able to get the agreement not only because of his persuasive expertise, logic and fairness, but also because she and her lawyer could tell what kind of a fight they would face if we could not agree. I owe the attorney who recommended Justin a giant thank you – Justin always kept his eye on my interests with close attention to detail.

“I was referred to Justin by a well know attorney. Justin first advised me on the difficult process of having my teenage son living with me after my divorce. Justin gave me sound, insightful, and realistic advice. He did not waste my time, was professional, and did not generate unnecessary fees in... my case. After that experience, the choice was clear to return to Justin to assist me in a Contempt action involving child support and expenses against my ex a few years later. My case was highly contentious and we went to Court on more than one occasion. I witnessed an extremely articulate and well maneuvering attorney guide his way through the proceedings. As you can imagine, the Judge ruled in our favor and also ordered my ex to pay my legal fees. This effective representation has allowed me to continue the last 2 years with not one more incident arising from my ex, as I believe that no one wants to be on the opposite side of a highly efficient and effective lawyer. I highly recommend Justin Hayes. A satisfied client, Paul
