Pitbull in a skirt!

I am eternally grateful to Judy Sartain and her team for representation in my custody case for my granddaughter. Judy is extremely knowledgeable, thorough and a straight shooter. She ensured not only my granddaughter's safety, but mine as well during this entire process. Her team was very punctual in... responses, thorough in their research, and when Judy could not be in court with me, Catherine stood in and was just as amazing as her mother. I am hopeful that I do not need their services in the future, but I know exactly who to call if I do. I have found not just a great attorney in Judy, but a friend as well.

An Exceptional Attorney

Our family was in need of a caring and creative attorney to handle a difficult matter that involved an uncommon set of circumstances. Simply we wanted an attorney who was up for a challenge. We initially did not find a lawyer confident enough to take it on or comfortable with a case that would requi...re some thinking outside the box. But then we found Judy Sartain and we knew we were in good hands. She and her team made it happen. They were exceptionally responsive, knowledgeable, and professional from both a lawyering and financial perspective. And at the hearing, Judy was nothing short of great I was touched by her remarks to the judge, the way she characterized our petition, so as to make the result seem obvious - virtually inevitable. But we all know that wasn't so, that we came to Judy after other attorneys were uncertain how to proceed in our situation The difference with Judy is that she embraced the uncertainty and enabled the judge to see the humanity in our request. The judge ruled in our favor on all aspects of our petition. Our family is forever grateful to Judy and her team.

Stearns and Montgomery Law Firm

My husband and I acquired Judy Sartain for an adoption. It was an unusual adoption and Judy explained everything with clarity. The firm was very responsive to all enquires. Catherine Sartain was also helpful in keeping the process moving. We were also kept abreast of the financial matters. Ever...ything documented and explained continuously. No surprises. We would highly recommend Judy Sartain and are thankful for her services. Chris and Dru

Adoption - Interstate | Kinship - Grateful

I adopted my niece's baby. I had an interstate, high risk pregnancy, kinship adoption, and I didn't know where to begin. I didn't know anything about adoption or lawyers, and google searches on my kind of adoption weren't answering certain questions. I talked to an adoption lawyer in Texas (my state)..., and that didn't feel right. Based on advice from a friend at church, I found a lawyer in the state of my child's birth, Judy Sartain. And once I spoke to her and her team, I realized I was on the right path. ICPC regulations and interstate adoption made things complicated, and Judy and her team helped me navigate the requirements and legalities, including helping me with my niece signing off and giving me custody when we left the hospital after the birth. Judy talks to you like she's known you forever, and she was sweet to my niece during the delicate conversation at the hospital. I had questions throughout the process, and Judy and her team answered them. Getting ICPC approvals from both Georgia and Texas, Judy and her team got me and the baby back home in time for Christmas. The adoption was finalized soon after. I look back, and I know I would have been lost in the process, if it wasn't for Judy and her team. I wouldn't change a thing. Thank you.
