Knowledgeable, Caring and Passionate- HIGHLY RECOMMEND

DON'T GO TO COURT WITHOUT A JEPHONNE! I don't have enough space to write in detail all of the wonderful things about Attorney Jephonne Roy. My case was complicated. She was my 7th attorney in a case that had been in 2 states for, at that time, 5 years. I consulted a firm in 2019 that attorney Roy wo...rked for, and my case was given to her. She has been my attorney since that time and will continue to be MY attorney. Today is the one-year anniversary of the end of our FOUR-day trial that ended 8 years of harassment! Jephonne Roy diligently prepared for my case while keeping me informed of everything she planned on addressing in court. She allowed me to be an active participant in the process as well. During the four exhaustive days, she was nothing less than amazing, incredible, outstanding, ...top notch litigator!! It was so exciting and I actually had fun watching her work her magic in the court room. She truly put on a show! She revealed lies of our guardian ad litem, the opposing party and even the opposing attorney. She made sure the judge knew all of the facts and did not overlook anything. In the end...WE WON!! A moment of validation and vindication!! Over the four years leading up to our trial, she helped me to see the bigger picture of my custody case. She helped me to run the marathon that it would become and helped me to maintain focus. A true counselor. Jephonne is a great communicator. We communicated almost on a daily basis (four years) from the time I retained her due to the high conflict nature of my case. She will not tell you what you want to hear but what you need to hear. She has great integrity and will never put herself or her clients in compromising situations. My case had many twists and turns, but Jephonne stayed on top of it. She was able to turn a horrible temporary decision by a Judge into a huge victory for myself and my children. Our lives have been forever changed by Jephonne and her fervent representation. If you are dealing with a high conflict co-parent, immediately hire Jephonne and she will walk you through to get the best outcome!! I say with love that I hope to NEVER have to hire her again but if that time comes.... she will be my first call!

Not Recommended

During my extensive divorce Attorney Roy was very preoccupied and not attentive to my needs. During my temporary Alimony Child Support hearing Attorney Roy was not prepared nor did she advocate for me during my hearing. I was raked over the coals by my narcissistic ex wife attorney. Very disappoin...ted in the outcome along with her guidance during the process. The next lawyer I hired gave me more advice the first time I meet him than she gave me the entire time I was dealing with her. As a client we all expect to be advocated for during difficult times, that’s all we can ask for and she failed in all arenas.

It is clear that you have never been a client of mine because on my worse day, one thing I am going to be, is PREPARED. I am also an advocate by nature so there has never been a time when I did not vehemently advocate for my clients, even when the odds were against them and their facts. It is more plausible that I was on the opposite side in opposition of you and that is why you're upset. In any event, have a great day!

A true credit to her profession

I hired Jephonne to deal with my divorce. I was extremely nervous as there was small children and property here and overseas to take into consideration (I'm from the UK). Jephonne was on the ball, an encyclopedia for Georgia law for my many questions, quick to reply and left me with a feeling of co...nfidence that she was the right person for this in every interaction I had with her. She never gave me unrealistic expectations but was firm in her belief that we would get a favorable outcome based on what my priorities were. Thankfully we got everything that I had hoped for and more. I went home that night after the end of the mediation session and thanked God for pointing me in Jephonne's direction

I would like to thank The Fairell Firm & Staff in handling my Divorce case. Special shout out to Attorney Roy. She is a sweet heart! She was polite, professional and very knowledgeable. She even took the time to explain to me in detail any questions I had known or unknown. She responded to every emai...l/calls to answer any of my questions or concerns and most importantly she was honest about everything related to my case and trustworthy. The closing went smoothly, she was on point with all of the documents that had to be signed and she achieved in winning a FAVORABLE outcome for me and my case. Attorney Roy was very understanding in what it was I was looking to establish and she fought for me and my family and got just that! She made herself accessible and told me if I had any other closing related issues pertaining to any documents to give her a call. Thank you once again on doing a GREAT JOB! You changed my life tremendously and took a huge burden off my back! I would highly recommend The Fairell Firm.

Attorney Jephonne Roy

When I contacted this firm regarding my child support modification, I was immediately greeted with compassion as I explained my situation before I even made my appointment for my initial consultation. After my consultation I knew that hiring Attorney Roy was the right decision. Throughout my case ...she worked diligently and promptly. All my questions and concerns were answered and I never felt alone. If I called she answered and if I emailed she replied. During my case she didn't rest and didn't force me to settle for something that I wasn't necessarily happy with what the other party bought to the table. I would highly recommend her to anyone.
