The BEST

Megan was attentive, passionate, and truly caring. She adds such a personal touch to her work to help you feel comfortable. Her client-centered approach is so refreshing. I definitely recommend!

Posted by Kiefer | August 30, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Thank you Megan!

I am a 26 year old male that went for and won full custody of my daughter. Not an easy thing to do, especially here in Georgia. I had been fighting for five years and went through four other attorneys to represent my case before hiring Megan. I lost a lot of money and went full circle with no positiv...e results. For my daughters safety giving up was not an option. I saw an add of facebook that read "fathers have rights too." I called Megan's firm and sat down for a consultation the next day. I hired her on the spot. I could tell she genuinely cared about my case and for my daughter whom she had never met. Ill never forget when she looked me in the eyes and said "we are going to get your daughter out of there." It wasnt but a couple weeks later we had an emergency hearing and won. My daughter was finally safe. We stayed in consant contact preparing for the final hearing and won again with ease. This was over a year ago. To this day Megan and I still communicate on a weekly basis regarding my case and future posibilities of my wife adopting my daughter. Without Megan I would still be living in constant fear for my daughters life and well being. She is very knowledgable, responsive, and caring. I could not reccomened anyone else on a higher level than Megan McClinton.

A Family Attorney Second to None!!

I was drawn to Samantha after hearing from a close friend (who was also going through a divorce) about how amazing her attorney was. So I asked for her info and I don't think that I could have made a better choice! It had been an uphill battle with my ex on everything and when I brought Samantha into... the mix, I have to say, she showed up ready to work! Extremely detail oriented, aggressive (but not overly so) and an extremely smart attorney. I explained my situation to her and like that I had a powerhouse in my corner! She was crazy quick with getting back to me with all of my concerns (no matter how neurotic I got) and was constantly there for me. I have to say, while in mediation with my ex-husband (4 hours in) I was getting tired. But Samantha was there by my side making sure nothing slipped by. She was realistic and aggressive in the court room, and when my ex was on the stand she didn't pull any punches, nothing cheap, just professionally showed the court what I had been dealing with for too long. I left my experience with Samantha getting the child support that I felt my children and I deserved as well with an outstanding alimony to get me back on my feet after HE bamboozled me off them. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR if you're in unfortunate circumstances and GET SAMANTHA in your corner as soon as possible!
