Highly Recommended-Honest and Hardworking!

I am so glad that I decided to work with Stephanie and her assistant, Kimmy. They were both very helpful, responsive, hardworking, and honest about the fees that were charged. I was going through a difficult divorce and I was so grateful to receive the support of these women during this time. In addi...tion, I was able to receive the settlement I was seeking. I definitely recommend working with Stephanie Salb and if I had to do this all over again, I would choose her.

A+ - Legal Services, Highly Recommend

I sought out Ms. Salb’s services after being divorced for several years (which was handled by a different attorney). Her vast knowledge in the areas of divorce, child custody and modification have made the navigation of the court system much more understandable for me. Ms. Salb and her assistant, K...immy, have been able to guide me in a very professional manner with compassion for my particular situation. They have had patience in answering all my questions, responded in a timely manner and have been able to "deflate" situations that could have gotten out of hand quickly. She has definitely demonstrated the ability to work with difficult personalities and situations while remaining focused on my best interest and the end goals. I would HIGHLY recommend her services to anyone.

Anti male father figure

Wouldn't even hold court orders to be followed. Couldn't even add when awarded 50% and allowed fraud when dealing with 401k division.

Stephanie Salb

Replied last February 16, 2021

During the seldom occasions we have an unhappy client, I always encourage any grievance to be worked out privately and not on social media. In most cases, it is an expectation or misunderstanding that is easily remedied. I tried to do so many times with this client. There was no fraud whatsoever; client was confused by the 50% figure even after it was explained that a portion of the 401k was earned by his wife BEFORE the marriage. Therefore, under Georgia law only the marital portion would be subject to 50/50 division and not the entire balance in the account. Client seemed to understand when shown the figures in open court and had it explained to him, as he then signed off on the settlement. It was explained to him subsequently several times but unfortunately not to his satisfaction. I don't know what "holding court orders to be followed" means other than he did allege contempt on his ex-wife's part and I explained that required the filing of a motion and a hearing, which we offered to do if he wanted to pursue it but he never chose to do so. Client kept asking that we "call the judge" instead and was told that such is an ex parte communication and is unethical and would not be done. Finally, I am baffled if "anti male father figure" is meant to refer to him or me??? I have a husband and son I love dearly, along with a wonderful late father and many male relatives and friends. At least half of my practice is devoted to male clients. "Anti-male" is not a characteristic that is typically attributed to me. In closing, I will say that I handled this matter almost three years ago and I am sorry this former client still has not found peace. May he have better days ahead.

Determined and Compassionate, Always on Your Side

Ms. Salb has represented me for over ten years in all things divorce, custody, and child support related. In every step along the way, I’ve felt like she had my — and my children’s — best interests are heart and fought for us like we were part of her own family. She is moral and ethical in every sens...e of the word and incredibly fair. She is well-known and respected in the industry and in courthouses, which I never realized would come to be incredibly valuable along the way. I have referred several friends to her and would continue to HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for protection and justice in tough custody battles. She’s especially adept at dealing with irrational and unreasonable, mean-spirited opponents. In my book, she’s a saint.

ATTY. SALB IS A TOP NOTCH ATTORNEY!

Attorney Stephanie Salb, is a superb lawyer. I am really glad that I hired Atty. Salb to handle an order of protection matter. The allegations were false but the person who filed it was a professional liar and it didn’t look good for me. My personal and business reputation was at stake. My travel...s abroad were ruined because whenever I re-enter the United States of America, this order of protection would pop up on the US Customs/Immigration and Border Protection’s computer screen with several pages making me appear to be a criminal (the various officers faces would go from a smile to being baffled then some would just ask and my response would be “a crazy ex-girlfriend’s lies - - - it’s an order of protection”. Thereafter, some officers would say go ahead and stamp my passport while others would tell me to go into their office so they could run a warrant check and then I was on my way). This was so horrible! In addition, I was accused of harassment and stalking during times I was overseas on business. And Atty. Salb was able to use my passport to show that I was not even in the country. Atty. Salb worked really hard and dedicated herself to my defense. She is thorough, kind and a caring individual. These dreadful occurrences were resolved due to Atty. Salb’s abilities to prove that this crazy delusional ex-girlfriend was a sandwich short of a picnic. Now, I enjoy peace of mind. Thanks again!. Atty. Salb legal fees were reasonable and fair. If you hire her to represent your legal matter you would have a top notched attorney giving her all for your defense. I just learnt that Atty. Salb does other law as well such as: Divorce, Contested & Uncontested, Adoption, Custody, Contempt, Modification, and Misdemeanors Resulting from Domestic Issues, Child Support, Paternity, Family Violence Actions as well as Wills and Estate Laws.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Stephanie and I worked together on a very complex contempt case that involved business and banking issues. I found Stephanie to be a very competent and diligent attorney. She is a great communicator and always responds to e-mails, motions, phone calls, etc. in a timely fashion. We had a very nasty opposing counsel who started making personal attacks against us near the end of the case. Stephanie never let him get to her and always responded to his remarks with class and professionalism. We ended up winning the case and saving our client a LOT of money. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Stephanie and will definitely send her referrals in the future. I'm just looking for the next case we can try together because it was such a great experience!"

"As a fellow attorney and as a mediator, I have worked with Ms. Salb for many years. While she zealously advocates for her clients, she is aware of the benefits of settling the case amicably and saving her clients the expense and stress of going to court. I have referred cases to her and believe that she always gives her clients personal attention and shows genuine concern for their best interests. I highly recommend Ms. Salb as an outstanding family law attorney."

"I have known Stephanie for quite some time and have worked with her on several occasions. We have had cases where we were on the same side and several cases against each other. In each case, Stephanie was thoroughly prepared, knowledgeable, and professional. In the legal field, the highest compliment we can pay to another attorney is to trust them with referrals. When our firm cannot take a client due to a conflict or for other reasons, we do not hesitate to refer them to Stephanie. We know that she and her staff will take good care of them. Simply put, a great lawyer and a great person."
