Impressed With Georgia Probate Layers’ Mandy Moyer

Worked with Cynthia Propst, a probate attorney working with Mandy Moyer’s firm. She listened, spoke in terms I could understand, and was thorough in sharing her thoughts about my legal issues. I would certainly work with her again. Mandy Moyer met me upon arrival and before I left made certain I ha...d no unanswered questions. Both individuals were pleasant, caring and sharp attorneys. I highly recommend both attorneys and Georgia Probate Lawyers.

Guardianship & Conservatorship

Mandy helped my sister and I navigate through the process to become emergency co-guardians and co-conservators for my father and we now have permanent guardianship in place. Although we would not have wished for these circumstances, Mandy guided us through every step of the process with poise and eff...iciency. She is very knowledgeable, understanding and empathetic to our family's situation. I trust that she has our best interests at heart and highly recommend her for any case involving adult guardianship and/or conservatorship.
