Child Support

I obtained Ms.Ware while living in another State. My ex husband was a resident of Ga. She, was able to get my court cost, attorney fees and back child support paid. I was very pleased with her and her paralegal who kept me well informed. I'm very grateful for the turn out..Great Job!

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Very professional

I had a name change change executed for myself and my son. Fees were a bit misleading but everything else was handled very professional. I was given a time frame in which the work would be completed in the first meeting.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
