Douglas Hassinger, as my attorney
Mr. Hassinger has helped me with multiple legal issues over the last ten years. I hired him to represent me for a divorce, involving child custody, visitation, and support. The second was a parental rights case, which was very difficult on many personal levels. Mr. Hassinger was very professional and...

Wow
Doug was awesome. He handled my divorce without ever going to court. We had a mediator, but Doug was clearly in charge.

good guy in a tough time
I had to change the custody and visitation arrangement with my ex, which turned into a battle. Doug had been there before, and had all the information he needed to do the job and do it right. It was almost funny to watch him have all the details at his fingertips while her lawyer fumbled through a ...
Douglas John Hassinger's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer. Doug is an overall great attorney. His devotion to the practice of law is not only seen by his clients, but also his fellow attorneys (whether co-workers or opposing counsel). He is creative and driven to provide the best possible representation."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"Doug is one of the most experienced and competent family law attorneys in Georgia."
"Douglas Hassinger is an excellent attorney. Anyone looking for a family law attorney would be fortunate to have Douglas on their side."
"Doug worked with my firm when he began his practice and I have had the opportunity to work on both sides of the table with him since he began his own practice. I have found Doug to be innovative, adept and knowledgeable. Doug has great skill at solving problems instead of perpetuating them. He provides his client with solutions in cases with hard issues and significant life-changing impact. His talents are a credit to the profession."
"Doug is a colleague in the family bar and has been a good friend for nearly a decade. In the family bar in particular, I find there are many lawyers who are overzealous to a fault, who seem to have a total inability to see the other side and understand his/her motivations, perspectives, and wants. While I'm sure it makes the client happy to know s/he has a "pit bull" on his/her side, in reality the client is not getting good service from that lawyer, and is likely to spend more money than s/he should have to spend. Doug is different, which is a rarity in the family bar. To date, I have been fortunate enough not to face Doug in a case, as I know he is a tenacious, capable litigator. But the reason Doug is great at what he does is his ability to be reasonable first, brutally honest with his clients, and adversarial only as a last resort. I would have every confidence in Doug as my lawyer that I am getting the best value for my litigation dollar. He has my highest recommendation."
"I endorse this lawyer's work."
