Thank you Rebecca!!!

I had a challenging divorce case where the other party did not have representation and lives out of state. Rebecca was able to help me get awarded temporary support, which also pushed the case forward so we could come to an agreement. She did a great job in court with the judge and I am so grateful w...e were able to finally settle during mediation.

Most knowledgeable attorney I have ever met

An absolute fighter in the courtroom. Actually knows the law and applies it to the facts of the case as well. Has a breadth of knowledge that is unfortunately very rare in the field these days. Highly recommended.

FANTASTIC ATTORNEY

I hired Rebecca McLaws as my divorce attorney. I knew my case would be extremely complex. Rebecca is compassionate, honest, thorough in a courtroom and very detailed! She kept me informed of all my options and explained the process in a manner I could understand. I’ve been so impressed with her and h...er character, I would absolutely hire her as my attorney again, if needed for any reason. I would HIGHLY recommend her practice! She is the epitome of professionalism and has definitely earned my respect. Rebecca and Rosalyn are a perfect team! I not only feel as if I'm a client - but a true friendship that has evolved from me pouring out my life history!! From the first consult with Rebecca I felt her comfort. I can't say ENOUGH about this firm! I’m VERY grateful!!

Phenomenal Attorney Who Goes Above and Beyond!

Rebecca has been both a miracle worker and a steadfast legal warrior for my case. I am going through a custody dispute with an extremely high conflict, irrational person. Rebecca has navigated my case with the legal savvy, expertise, and grit that my case needs. She has a fearlessness and calm that g...ives you the confidence you need when going through a contentious custody battle. Rebecca will not be intimidated by opposing counsel, their client nor presiding judges. I can tell Rebecca cares about me and my child. She takes the time to discuss options and strategies with me in a way that assures me that we are moving in the right direction. I would highly recommend Rebecca if you need a fantastic, caring attorney who will fight for you and your kids.

Ms Rebecca McLaws- THE G.O.A.T

My case is still ongoing... I wish Rebecca had been my Attorney from the start, as I firmly believe my custody case would never have been dragged to this current messy stage. As an immigrant and a domestic violence survivor in the state of Georgia, I honestly thought the Family Court and its offi...cers would provide the necessary assistance and protect survivors such as myself and any children involved. However, my experience to date has been contrary to this. From the start, my case has been crammed with various unethical practices such as corruption, bias and misconduct by my ex-husband's legal team and the court officers. These unscrupulous practices proved too challenging for my previous Attorneys, however, to date, not for Rebecca, who has confronted it with boldly. I believe God directed me to her, thus saving the BEST till last. Rebecca is an excellent lawyer with a comprehensive knowledge of family law. I say this with the utmost respect, but she is a bulldog and a wonderful advocate. She demands respect and commands the courtroom, even when the Judge in my case try to intimidate and bully her. Before Rebecca came into the picture, my previous Attorneys allowed the Judge, the opposing counsel and the GAL to take advantage of me and my situation. From the moment I started working with Rebecca, I have felt empowered and encouraged. These two words: Empowered and Encouraged are words that are not easy to write as a survivor of domestic abuse, especially in the family court. I would also like to mention her paralegal, Rosalyn, who has also been very supportive and reassuring from the start. A poignant moment for me was during my first contact with Rebecca, she asked for the picture of my daughter – who they were going to be fighting for”. Not only that, Rosalyn held my hands on the first day of the trial and said to me: “we’ve got this”. To me I am not just another client nor number to them, my case mattered, my daughter and I are both very important to the both of them. THEY TRULY CARE!! To date, working with Rebecca and Rosalyn has been incredibly easy. The passion I have observed is very encouraging and it motivates me to see this case through. I highly recommend McLaws Group for anyone looking for an Attorney in family law. I will update my review one the case is over. x

"I have known Rebecca for nearly 15 years now. I first met her when she was a paralegal at a established law firm in Marietta. I quickly learned that her knowledge of family law actually exceeded that of many of the actual attorneys in the firm. I suspect she knew this to be true as well, which is why she heard her calling to go to law school and earn her law degree. Althought she only recently earned her law degree, Rebecca has been an outstanding attorney for over 15 years. Her knowledge of the law and integrity is extraordinary and I am proud to have her as a fellow member of this profession."
