Appalling. Abrasive. Non-communicative. Charged us $3,500 for nothing.

We hired Elizabeth for a time-sensitive case. She showed no sense of urgency and was non-communicative. When we would chase her down for information, she was rude and uninformed in her responses. Her 'legal strategy' involved asking for records that were inconsequential. The case was ultimately resol...ved without any contribution from her. Somehow this cost us $3,500. This lawyer does not care about her clients whatsoever. Steer clear.

Top lawyer in Georgia

The law firm of Shein & Brandenburg is by far the most professional and down to earth office I have dealt with. No matter the question, or concern they get it answered quickly. As far as representation Ms. Brandenburg has a way of gaining the respect and attention of the court when she handles my cas...e. I truly can say this is one of the most powerful legal duos in Georgia and the care about their clients well being.

Great!!

When I was charged with a federal crime I was very concerned, I hired Elizabeth and I’m glad I did. From the beginning she reviewed my case and made everything cleared for me. From day one she did a great job and she fought to get the best outcome. After a very short time, we reached a deal and I end...ed up getting probation with no jail time. I will truly recommend elizabeth, great lawyer!!

Awesome Attorney!!!

I am very thankful that I hired Elizabeth. I was devastated after my son (13 years old) was charged with a criminal offense. I was so concerned that this one incident would ruin his future at such an early age. His case was not just in JDC but had escalated to a higher court, making me realize that I... needed to get an attorney who could handle the charges and sentencing they were throwing at him. The original attorney I had hired when his case was in juvenile court drug their feet for 2 years. Which is why Elizabeth was hired, and once she was hired the case began to move. She was very upfront from our initial meeting. It is her knowledge and expertise of this arena of law that I feel she was able to accomplish what she did for our son. After just one year of representing us, she was able to reach an agreement (a plea with no jail time) that was very favorable for my son. I can honestly say that because of her office my son life was not ruined, but restored.
