Animal Law 25%

I am an Animal Law Advocate. I help people who own, raise, rescue, foster or care about animals. I also help those whose pet has been harmed; whether by a someone they know or a government official such as COPS SHOOTING DOGS! I am very knowledgeable about the animal advocacy process - pulling, transporting, crossposting, fostering, rescuing, and finding forever homes. I am also zealous in holding those who harm animals responsible for their actions. I am the VOICE FOR THE VOICELESS!

Corporate and Incorporation 25%

A corporation is a formal way to organize your business to gain rights and privileges, and to limit your personal liability. There may be tax and financial advantages to incorporation, but it can also increase your business licensing fees and decrease the amount of personal control you have in running your business. There are many legal consequences to incorporation, so it's a good idea to consult an attorney specializing in corporate law. A corporate attorney also represents shareholders unhapp

Best lawyer ever!!!!

Kerrie is the best!!! Had an issue where my horses were being boarded at and the owner was doing some very illegal stuff. Along with the owner was harassing and threatening me. Kerrie not only got everything stopped but also made it where we were able to move them to a much better boarding facility.... 1,000% would hire her if I ever needed to again. A true Pitbull when it comes to stuff she knows.

Best Attorney of ALL TIME

5 years ago my life was turned upside down when I was accused and charged with a crime I did not commit, It almost destroyed mine and my families life. My long time family attorney died a year into the case and I had to fire the second lawyer as he was unwilling to go to trial. This is when God broug...ht Kerrie Kessing into my life. She took my case and held my hand the whole way. I was a mess the entire time and plagued by nightmares and crippling anxiety. Being accused of a crime you haven't committed is one the worst feelings someone can go through but Kerrie knew I was innocent and fought harder than anyone has ever fought for me. She has an amazing grasp of the law and her professionalism is beyond reproach. After nearly 5 years Kerrie was able to present my case and the overwhelming evidence of my innocence to the state and we won! I pray no one ever has to endure what I went through, but if you do, and your blessed enough to find Kerrie and the Kessing Law Firm and she takes your case...know that she3 will not stop until she proves your innocence! Its hard to believe that its over, but each and every day I thank God for bringing Kerrie into my life!

You will NOT find a better Georgia attorney, No matter the type of case, or the details involved.

I recently had someone i have known for many years, recommend Mrs. Kessing, after realizing my life was falling to pieces, as well as my business,, due to some unrelenting legal issues. She was a compassionate and caring attorney as well as someone you want on your team,and in your corner when you...r life depends on the representation you choose to deal with life's issues. She was Experienced, Affordable, and will be my choice for many years to come. if you do not call her, just know your making a mistake. Doug H..

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Always looking out for the best interest of her clients.

My husband and I consulted with Ms. Kessing on a breech of contact issue. We had not ever been in a situation where we needed legal advice and a friend referred us to Ms. Kessing. Kerrie did a great job of explaining the specifics about the relevant laws and took us through the step by step process ...that would take place in regard to our situation. She helped us set things in motion and encouraged us to fight for our rights and benefits.

Most aggressive attorney you want on your side

Ms. Kessing is the best and most aggressive attorney that money can buy without a shadow of a doubt. She's assisted not only myself buy several other family members in criminal cases throughout the past almost decade and has slaughtered the competition in every single way! Tough negotiator and failur...e is not an option in Ms. Kessings language. She's always fought with the most ferocious manner and doesn't care what it takes to win for you. I can attest first hand in a specific matter in Cobb County where I was targeted and she quickly put an end to the malicious prosecution from the DA's office. All charges were dismissed and I was able to sleep soundly again at night knowing I had the best of the best representation in my corner, Highly, highly recommend her for criminal cases!!!
