Relationship: Worked together on matter

Kenneth Crosson, Personal injury Attorney on Jul 29, 2015
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
Ian is tremendously knowledgeable as well as being a very good and generous person and a leader in the legal community. If you are in need of bankruptcy protection, Ian is the right person to help you through the process skillfully, compassionately, and efficiently. I endorse him strongly.
Caryn Fennell, Family Attorney on Mar 29, 2015
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
I have the absolute privilege of endorsing my colleague, Ian Falcone. All too often our peers make cases far more difficult than necessary. Family Law is difficult enough between the occasional difficult client or opposing party and the highly emotional issues. Adding a difficult difficult opposing counsel who stirs the pot versus calming the waters always make cases more stressful and expensive than necessary. It takes a very talented lawyer to represent their client's interests with zealous advocacy and without being an over aggressive and adversarial opponent. Ian is one of those lawyers. He is a consummate professional.
Leo Hughes, Uncontested divorce Attorney on Dec 15, 2014
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
Ian is a top bankruptcy/family law lawyer in the Atlanta metro area. He takes all the difficult cases no other lawyer will touch. Aside from his legal skills he is a likable and has been elected president of various Cobb County Bar Sections. He has my unqualified endorsement as an excellent lawyer.
