DO NOT USE THIS ATTORNEY

I hired Lynn to represent me in a contempt and alimony modification case, she failed me miserably, after allowing my case to drag on for almost 14 months. The initial consultation with her gave me hope that my interests would be protected. Instead, after failing to negotiate any settlement with opp...osing counsel, she put me in front of a new Judge she knew nothing about..... there was no alimony modification granted, although I provided hundreds of pages of E Mails, tax returns, paystubs, monthly bill statements showing increases in my bill payments, job termination, and my filed bankruptcy information showing significant changes in my income, down 34% from when the divorce was finalized, to when I filed for modification. She was not proactive in getting this case resolved, she seldom iniated contact that did not originate from me. She was NEVER proactive in negotiating any type of mutually agreeable outcome with the attorney for my ex wife, and she was totally steamrolled in court by the two attorneys that represented my ex wife in a Gwinnett court. The only settlement that was ever presented to opposing counsel was one that I wrote up and gave to Lynn to present. Not only did 100% of my modification request be denied, I was also ordered to pay $5,000 of my wife's legal expense. There are hundreds of Family Law attorneys in the metro Atlanta area, DO NOT GET ASSOCIATED WITH LYNN STURGES if you want positive results. She was Unresponsive, unaggressive, unassertive, and uninvolved.

Lynn H. Sturges - great to work with, I had a very good experience

I really enjoyed working with Lynn. She understood my concerns, was involved and tried her best to get the best possible outcome for my case at a very reasonable cost. She is not a lawyer who tries to bankrupt her clients with high legal fees and is understanding if a client is not able to pay high s...ums of attorneys' fees. She is very personable and a person you can confide in. I would definitely go back to Lynn if I had other legal issues concerning family law.

Excellent Lawyer

Lynn did an incredible job representing our case for legitimation, support and custody. She was always professional, extremely fair with her billing, and a tough negotiator. She is extremely familiar with Georgia law and the Georgia court systems. She knows how to navigate through the legal system..., she knows when to push and when not to. We applaud her for her expertise, honesty and integrity!

Father's Child Custody Case

Going through my child custody case was one of the hardest test I'd ever had to face in my life. Every day was a new set of decisions to make, issues to resolve, emotions to wade through, failures to face. Working with Lynn was more meaningful to me than just "navigating the legal system with your at...torney." Lynn listened to me, she cared about the outcome for me and my 7 year old daughter. She was invested in making our future as successful as possible, in making sure I had the right support to make good legal decisions, about explaining how the legal processes worked and what the issues and challenges that we might face were at each juncture. I think through it all the biggest impact to me was that Lynn genuinely cared for me as a person and wanted me to be in a good place in my life. She didn't judge my mistakes or decisions. She is a caring and supportive advocate, friend and counselor. Thanks Lynn!

Outstanding Attorney!

Exceptional!! After working with other attorneys concerning family law, hiring Lynn made all the difference to our case. With Lynn, both our outcome and experience were much better. Not only is she knowledgeable and prompt, she is a real person and understands the hurdles that family law presents he...r clients. Her years of experience and personal integrity enable her to provide thoughtful, thorough, and, practical legal advice. We would highly recommend her to anyone seeking Legal Counsel.
