Practice areas

I am passionate about resolving cases in a way that leaves parents and children intact and as healthy as possible. I have personally gone through a divorce involving children and understand that each divorce or custody client's unique goals and needs vary widely.  After litigating for many years, I now serve as a mediator, arbitrator, and Guardian ad Litem, where I make custody recommendations that serve the best interest of children.

Top of her field!
I was worried about my children being able to relate and be themselves in the presence of a court-affiliated advocate. I had dreams, rather more of nightmares, of an older woman that pulled out a checklist and spoke to the children like they were robots! It is a strange time for children anyway and this was a huge worry of mine. With Carrie it was effortless! She is beyond anything I could have ever dreamed of regardless of my case's outcome I feel blessed to simply have had her for my children. My daughter told me, "She is like a therapist that actually helps you. She was so easy to talk to that I forgot why she was here." My daughter was dancing and singing after she left! My son loved her as well, and pretty much spoke of her as if she were just part of the family after she left. Thank you Carrie for being such an awesome person and attorney!

Walks the Walk
In early 2022, my family and I went through one of the most traumatic & traumatizing situations we've been through. My 38 years of living I've never been so hurt, having my family wrongfully separated by DCFS. After obtaining two different lawyers in the Atlanta area, with little to no success/ positive progression. I actually felt like my case was moving backwards in the wrong direction. After 5 months I decided to once again look for the right lawyer for our case. On the brink of giving up , just settling for the mediocre representation i had. fortunately, I came across The law firm of Hackett & Wine (Atlanta GA, area) At first, after speaking with Ashley Wine a few times, She was external intelligent , polite, patience, and had a game plan. Unfortunately so did the 2 lawyers before her. However, Ms.Wine Not only talk the talk, she walked the walk. She showed to be super relatable to everyone involved in the court process, She was literally the glue that held everything together. Whenever there was a misunderstanding throughout the case she closed it up. She was always thinking of different angles to resolve any potential issues, She wasn't going to let the small and significant stuff getting in the way of the facts. Finally we were making positive ground on reuniting our family, I knew I had found the right lawyer. Early 2023, Our family case is officially closed out. Not only do I have my family back in order, we are more resilient, together, we realize we're going to communicate better & love harder. There's no greater feeling than being able to hold my two girls close again everyday. Since our case, I've personally been inspired to join law enforcement , go back to school, and continue to learn how to be a better person, parent, while protecting my family at the same time. Simply, I can't put into words what Hackett & Wine law firm as meant to me and my whole entire family! From the small things anytime I call getting back to me quickly, to the bigger picture reuniting my family together. I highly! recommend The law firm of Hackett & Wine, to say the least !

Pleasure to work with
Carrie and her team were amazing. They are very customer focused and answered my MILLION questions and made me feel at ease during my mediation. They explained things along the way and constantly kept me informed with the process. I loved the fact that she provides a consultantion so you can get a sense of who she is prior to hiring her and I knew right away she was going to be my attorney. I would be remiss if I didn't also call out Kevin and her other staff which offered advice and was always available for calls and answering emails. 100% would recommend and use them again (although I hope I don't need them again).

The Absolute Best
Carrie, Ashley, Kevin, Stephanie, and the whole team are absolutely wonderful to work with. I came to them with what seemed like an impossible case and, not only did they get it resolved in what seemed like record time, but they made me feel supported and comfortable every step of the way. This team 100% changed my life and gave me my freedom back. I can’t thank them enough and will be recommending to them to everyone I know!

It took me a while to get the nerve to call an attorney. I discussed with a friend interviewing an attorney that I was familiar with in my area.He said no,find an attorney that will fight for you.Thats when he told me about Carrie Hackett.Best decision I've ever made.

Peace of Mind
Through a recommendation by a friend, I contracted with Carrie and her team to help me with my difficult divorce . She was actually my friends opposing counsel and impressed him so much he recommended her. Carrie was a pleasure to work with and from day one I had the piece of mind that I was in good hands. Carrie is a fighter with a heart of gold and I valued her and her teams support and professionalism throughout the process. I highly recommend.

Highly Recommended! Carrie was awesome
Carrier was unequivocally the best thing that happened in my divorce. I had a very high conflict ex and was at the verge of giving up when I decided to meet with her. My previous lawyer did nothing but charge me for services with no results bit Carrie got me over the finish line with a result that I can be happy with.

A great custody attorney
I retained Ms. Hackett after a few negative lawyer experiences. I had a custody case with severe parental alienation with a lot of evidence. After Covid delayed my case, I decided to make a change and brought Carrie in 2 years into a 3 year case. She worked well with the court appointed Guardian ad Litem, helped organize the case for trial, and pushed it to a positive resolution. We were able to prove severe alienation, won custody, and were awarded attorney fees. My ex-wife hired an attorney to employ some bullying tactics, but Ms. Hackett schooled her on family law. Carrie is always calm, yet has a great courtroom presence. It's hard for a father to win custody, but we were able to prove the case beyond any doubt, and the court's ruling was overwhelmingly in our favor. Court battles can be trying, but I wouldn't have wanted to go through this with anyone else in my corner.

Understanding and Caring
When I first set out to find a lawyer to counsel me through my divorce I did not expect to find someone so caring and understanding as I did competent and confident. Carrie was always quick to respond to me and my concerns as well as a good listener. She was patient with me throughout the process. She spoke wonderfully on my behalf when negotiations were required and gave thoughtful and helpful ideas where compromise was inevitable. And even those compromises didn’t leave me feeling stuck or at a loss. Divorce is a hard process and she made it as simple and painless as possible. The financial commitment was absolutely worth every penny and I appreciated the extreme consideration where charges were concerned. I am unbelievably impressed by Carrie and her team. Hiring Carrie was the absolute best decision I made regarding my divorce and I recommend her to anyone.

An extraordinary attorney...
I am beyond grateful that a friend of mine recommended Carrie to guide me in one of the hardest part of my life, my divorce. Carrie since day one of my divorce process was so caring, loving and supportive. She and her team gave me the confidence and steps to move forward with every stage of my journey. She took my case with lots of understanding, empathy and courage making me feel safe and that I was in good hands. She stood up for my best interest until the end of the process. The victory is ours and I am so grateful that Carrie and her team were there for me when I needed caring professionals that I could rely on. Thank you so much. God bless you guys.

with gratitude
Carrie Hackett was recommended to me by a friend who knew I was looking for a “compassionate” lawyer, one who wouldn’t destroy a 45 year marriage. Carrie knew her job was to make sure my husband received half of our finances which ensured I would get mine. Carrie is competent and quiet, didn’t waste my time. The divorce process took over two years to learn what the finances actually looked like. Once I learned to trust Carrie, I simply gave her the space to do what she needed to. I once told her she felt like a daughter to me - I felt that safe. Divorce is not cheap and yet I never felt Carrie asked for more than she earned. I am very happy to know I have her to turn to should I ever need legal assistance in the future. I thank Kevin and Sterling as well! I was ordained a nun during these two years - what an extraordinary time!

11/ 10 recommended!
I found Hackett and Wine here on Avvo. Carrie Hackett took my case; it was the best thing that could have happened for me. She and her awesome team (Kevin is very patient and thorough! ) handled my case even though I was out of state. I really felt like they listened to my concerns and helped make decisions based on what was in the best interest of everyone involved. In court, Carrie was very professional and was definitely an advocate for me! This woman absolutely knew her stuff.

Best you could possibly wish for
I was going through a very difficult family situation over the course of several months. Carrie worked tirelessly to get the best possible end result I could hope for! Carrie is a straight shooter and does not get into the "dirt" but instead focuses on the task at hand. She is very responsive and maintains a great "one on one" relationship with her clients. She has very little overhead which keep her fees to a reasonable level while providing top notch service. I couldn't recommend Carrie more to anyone going through a difficult family situation, especially when kids are involved. I wish I could rate Carrie "6 stars" in this review as a "5 star" rating doesn't fully reflect how highly I recommend Carrie and her team. If you are on the fence on selecting an attorney, I assure you that you can not go wrong with Carrie Hackett!!!

Awesome
We hired Carrie to handle our step-parent adoption. Carrie and her team were very attentive to every detail and email. This was truly a blessing and could not have felt more comfortable with Carrie being at the wheel. Carrie was very personable and made sure we knew what was happening every step of the way. It was truly a blessing to have shared this experience with Carrie.

Excellent resource, knowledgable, and experienced
I found Carrie through AVVO and after interviewing several divorce attorneys, I finally went with Carrie because I felt she listened to what I had to say and to my intentions to keep things as fair and amicable as possible. She was always available via email and was always organized. Her experience showed through time and time again with knowing the law, our options, and the best course of action. Carrie was also cost-sensitive, and I felt I was billed very fairly for all time involved. I would not hesitate to recommend Carrie to someone else facing divorce.

Incredibly understanding and knowledgeable
I suppose reviews are likely 1 or 5 starts based on whether or not she won the case. But I'm also impressed with the way she's handled herself and my terribly long and drawn out divorce. She's professional and knowledgeable. Trust is huge with attorneys and she earns that trust at every step. She provided clear estimations of how everything would go. I was never surprised by anything from the judge or process. As the saying goes, level heads prevail. And hers is quite level. My only advice to you would be to be honest and listen to her. She won't promise something unrealistic but i know that i wouldn't have my children without her. I wouldn't want to go through any legal process without someone like her in my corner.

Hire Hackett and Wine
Hackett and Wine were not only efficient and professional, but very caring as well. My first exposure was with Ashley Wine doing a telephone consult. Carrie Hackett was my attorney and spent as much time as needed reviewing the facts of my situation. Her first success was obtaining a protective order against my abusive husband and her success continued through my divorce. Although it was rather cut and dry given the documentation I provided, Carrie presented my case extremely well. The office staff was also very helpful and patient with me. Everyone responds to emails in a very timely manner and went above and beyond in answering all my questions.

Carrie is a wonderful Family Law Attorney
Carrie is very knowledgeable, thorough, and responsive. She was able to answer all of my concerns and guide me to the best resolution for my case. Her responses were always timely and complete. She did everything that she said she would do to resolve my case. Carrie is very professional, polished, and highly recommended to handle your legal business. She took care of my case remarkably well and tied up all lose ends in a short amount of time. I emerged from court with permanent physical custody! Hire her, you will be glad you did!!

Awesome Attorney!
I met with Carrie and was super nervous about starting my divorce process as my case had some unusual circumstances and I was concerned about certain things. Carrie answered all my questions and assured me I was not crazy. I had my divorce petition emailed to me the same day and her staff kept me updated on the process every step of the way!
