Don’t-WARNING!

If you are a single mom who is vulnerable and has little money, do not hire Justin. No contract, no work for me after waiting patiently for a year. He is in cahoots with defendants’ attorneys and always sticks up for the man, the defendant in his single mom divorce cases. He took my entire savings, n...o contract, he took advantage of me and hurt me financially. He refused to give me a refund and never did anything for me or produce an invoice justifying what I have paid in ADVANCE IN GOOD FAITH for. Only takes cash under the table. I know other clients of his, just like me, and he’s done it to them all. Thank God I had it and fired him before my court date. I truly believe he was going to ruin or sabotage me in court. I have only one chance to fight for everything I deserve, am entitled to, and qualify for, I got rid of hm before he potentially ruined mine and my child’s future.

Justin is experienced, knowledgeable, and sharp.

I highly recommend Justin Wyatt as a family attorney. I hired him to file a charge of contempt against my ex husband who had not paid child support in a year. He and his staff were always attentive, detail oriented, and quick to respond throughout the entire process- making the experience seamless an...d effective. They caught small mistakes in numbers and told me exactly what I could expect and represented me in the best way possible on my court date. I felt comfortable during what I thought would be an extremely unpleasant experience. They went above and beyond in so many ways and got everything they promised to do- including getting my attorney fees paid for. I have hired other family attorneys and will never hire anyone else again.

Custody Battle

I hired Justin for my wife over a custody battle with her ex husband. My wife had a horrible attorney resulting in the transfer of custody to her ex husband. The attorney was the worst and didn’t fight for her in court. So her ex husband who cared less about seeing his kids or paid child support got ...full custody. We were shocked. My wife was devastated. Not only missing her kids but paying child support for them. We then hired Justin. And wow what a difference an attorney can make. This man fought hard and not only does my wife have her kids back but her Ex is now paying child support as he should. This man is a damn good attorney. Even got applauded and the officers in the court room were shaking his hand when court was over. He will fight for you and knows the law very well. I have since then have had my own encounters and have obtained Justin’s service. I already know the results bc I have seen this man in action. He will not back down and will fight for what is right. He may seem a little arrogant at times but I’m sure that’s because I thought I knew best when I should have been listening to him. He doesn’t always answer all my questions or gets back to me right away but he knows the law and what’s best. Trust in him and he will help you. He is one of the best and I thank him for all that he has done for me and my family. Praying for the outcome we are looking for in mediation. I know things are going to go well because Justin has my back!

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.

Mr. Wyatt and his team are TOP OF THE LINE!

Mr. Wyatt represented me in a child support and modification case. Mr. Wyatt took the time to fully analyze my case and make personal recommendations based on his years of experience. His knowledge of the law far surpassed my former spouses lawyer by a mile! In a short period of time he was behind th...e scenes working a negotiation that ultimately resulted in a much better scenario than I could have imagined. If you want the best, do yourself a favor and call Mr. Wyatt. I would HIGHLY recommend Mr. Wyatt for any of your needs. Hopefully I will not be in the same situation anytime soon but rest assured if I do, I know who to call that will go the extra mile!
