Must HIRE exceptional and your not going to find one better

When you are in financial distress and physical pain it is difficult to think clearly and make good decisions . That, in addition to not understanding a legal process complicates matters even more. Justin explained the law, outlined in clear language the steps in the process that where needed to be d...one. He was reassuring, articulate, knowable and effective. Justin and his amazing team made the process so much easier and gave me peace of mind in a stressful but successful outcome. Justin was selected on recommendation from a trusted friend and Attorney it was some of the "Best" advice I have ever received.

Don't waste your money please!

Please don't waste ur time, energy or money. After I paid this man cash in full his required retainer, I've seen him every bit of 3 times in an 8 months ongoing case. I practically represented myself. This by far has been the worst experience ever he does not care or understands the volume of a chil...d custody battle. I honestly don't know how this man passed the bar. He has no clue what's going on with your case he emailed me incorrectly and the paralegal had to correct him. I tried to fire him before court but he has a strict non refund policy so I just went with him BIG MISTAKE, I lost my case in less than 10 minutes before the judge bc he did want to argue my case and waste his time, is what he told the judge. I wish I would have went with the reviews before hiring him. I wouldn't retain this attorney if he was a public defender for free, I would take my chances. I say all this to say he is a good talker before you pay him after that you're on your own. Good luck but don't bet on him unless you just have money to throw away and risk losing your kid's!

Good experience

We hired Justin for a highly contentious case. Over the course of three very long years, he listened and used his high energy approach to help us get to a place where we won. He worked to give us realistic advice, but when the right opportunities came during the case he jumped on them. We had a good... relationship with Justin and have recommended him to others. We will likely never need his services again, but if the need does arise for some reason, we will be calling him.

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.
