good in court, not otherwise

Justin represented me on a contempt charge against my ex-husband for back child support. He didn't seem to prepare much, but asked really pointed and pertinent questions in court, getting a satisfactory settlement for me, which included repayment of my legal fees. I've been trying to contact him fo...r weeks, sending emails and making phone calls to find out how I'm getting reimbursed for the fees, with no response. He owes me over $1100.

Feeling safe in a scary process....

I was extremely scared knowing I was getting a divorce. The scariest part was my concern for my son and how this process would effect him. Justin and his team guided me through the process. Justin has gone above and beyond. Seeing him in the court room knowing he was on my side was the best feeli...ng ever. The best way to describe it is like having your big brother confront a bully for you. You will see other reviews on other sites from me. That is how much I recommend Justin Wyatt.

Cobb County Child Custody

Justin Wyatt is an excellent attorney. He knows the law and is a beast in the courtroom. My case was going on for more than two years with 2 different attorneys who was unsuccessful at getting this resolved. My case was appointed to guardian ad litem Francis Marian Weeks who was extremely bias from t...he start. She recommended that my 7 year old daughter whom I've raised her entire life be awarded to her father and for me to pay CS. Justin Wyatt and his assistant Mike were great as far as communicating and presenting the facts in court. He fought tooth and nail with Mrs. Weeks and the opposing attorney. I am very satisfied with the outcome. Thank you so much for the compassion and hard work.

Great Lawyer and Office Staff (Chris Hafer)

Justin and Chris have been an awesome team to work with. Justin is very knowledgeable of the law, he assisted me with a big settlement having little information to go on, and the information he had was very old. WE WON!! Chris is very understanding of my case, and promptly responds to a...ny queries I have had and continue to have. He is awesome!

Justin Kicks Butt In the Courtroom

I'm involved in a major case where child's custody is at stake in an international dispute with criminal, civil, and international law issues. Last Friday I was defending a contempt complaint from my ex before a brand new Judge. My ex was asking the Court to throw me in Jail. When we walked out of th...e courthouse I was not only a free man, but the Judge had declared I was to have sole legal and physical custody, and my ex was ordered to pay my attorneys fees! Justin Wyatt is very strong in the courtroom. His work as a former prosecutor comes through when he seizes on an issue in cross-examination and squeezes it for all it's worth. This is clearly his strong suit. If you have a lying ex that you want to see exposed before the Judge, he's your man Be sure to feed him the appropriate facts and evidence, and desired outcomes in a clear manner, in writing. Your case is far from his only case, and he does not have superhuman memory, or telepathic abilities. (This almost became a critical issue in one hearing, but he is very nimble on his feet, and turned it around quickly)
