Best Lawyer in Atlanta, GA

My experience with Stearns-Montgomery & Proctor was nothing short of exceptional and professional. When I approached them, I had actually contacted the wrong law firm but because of how Miss Pamela Lewis made me feel after speaking with her, I decided to proceed with them. And, I must say, it was was... the best decision that I could have made with the situation that I was in. I needed a bulldog of a lawyer and Judy Sartain was all that and more. Judy Sartain and her team (Kristi Culpepper, Catherine Sartain, Maira Gutierrez, Stephany Garcia-Herrera, Brittni Delk, Pamela Lewis) were from day one, dedicated, compassionate, empathetic, and committed to support me throughout the entire process. Communication is very important to me and that they provided without question. From day one communication was always clear, concise, and consistent. I never had to wonder what was going on with my case because the entire team made sure that I always knew what was going on at all times. If you are looking for a bulldog of family/divorce lawyer who will fight blood and sweat for you, care for and understand your situation, Judy Sartain and her team at Stearns-Montgomery & Proctor should definitely be your go to.

Thank you!

February 5, 2025 Judy Sartain Stearns-Montgomery & Proctor 539 Green St. Gainesville, GA. 30501 Dear Mrs. Sartain, My husband and I would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to you and your legal team for all the care and concern you have shown our family and for working tirelessly... to ensure that the law worked in our favor. After tragically losing our daughter almost 3 years ago, we reached out to Ms. Sartain desperate for help in gaining custody of our granddaughters. Ms. Sartain and her team went straight to work. We will never forget what you have done to make sure we were given a fair trial. You were able to prove our case beyond any reasonable doubt and we are more than pleased with the outcome. Ms. Sartain and her daughter fought for our granddaughters as if they were her own and for that we are truly grateful. Because of her hard work, dedication, and professional expertise, we were able to adopt our granddaughters and save them from an unknown future that we may not have been afforded the opportunity to witness and watch them grow. We cannot tell you how much we appreciate the amazing legal work you did on our behalf, and we truly thank you! Sincerely, Linda and Leroy Johnson

Can't say enough good things!

Attorney Judy Sartain and her team of attorneys, paralegals, and staff guided me through the legal process and obtained the desired outcome with flying colors! I would highly recommend Ms. Sartain and her team to anyone wishing to have their interests represented with efficiency, dedication, and pass...ion for the role. Bonus points for empathy, compassion, and genuine concern for my family's wellbeing.

Excellent Lawfirm!

Judy Sartain was highly recommended to us in the middle of a two-year drawn-out custody proceeding that didn't seem to be working in our favor. As soon as Judy and her team were hired, they worked tirelessly to ensure our legal goals were met and that our Grand babies were afforded the opportunity to... have a chance at a life that would allow them to prosper. Legal fees were expensive but worth the outcome! Her team was professional, responsive and prepared! She exceeded my expectations and provided every option to a desired end and success for my Family. Today I rest easy and am postured to allow my Grandbabies to enjoy a good life. A big thanks to Judy, Stephanie and the entire team.

Simply the Best

We tasked Judy with a nearly impossible task, and she was innovative and aggressive on our behalf. Judy is a fighter, a winner, and an ally who knows adoption and juvenile courts better than anyone. I recommend her with the highest praise I can possibly give.
