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

Went Above & Beyond her Scope of Duties!

Ms. Kessing is a superb attorney! Not only did she do a phenomenal job representing me she was like a friend to me too. My situation was an embarrassing and precarious one and not once did I feel That Ms. Kessing judged me, in fact she was a continuous sense of comfort. Nobody else believed in my i...nnocence, not even my own friends and family, but Ms. Kessing had faith in me the entire time. Needless to say we won my case and my freedom! I don't know what I would've done if it wasn't for Ms. Kessing believing in me. My parents wanted me to add that Ms. Kessing kept them in the loop throughout my case (I signed something saying that was ok), and that they are extremely grateful for the comfort that she provided them. When she says she gives personal service she truly means it! if I ever need an attorney again, and hopefully I will not, I will definitely be calling her.

Amazing Attorney

My partner and I hired Kerrie for what we thought was a simple child support case. However, it quickly escalated to a child custody case, a TPO case and even a back child support case. The court system assigned a Guardian Ad Litem and a mediator, which is evidently standard in situations such as mi...ne. I had no idea how complex family law issues could become and how everything could spiral out of control so quickly. We are tremendously grateful we had Kerrie there by our side to guide us through our cases. She took a chaotic situation and fixed it in a way that looked effortless. However we are quite aware how much work it truly took to get all the problems resolved. Kerrie came to our home, took the time to explain everything that was going to happen and all possible outcomes. I am a worrier but even Kerrie managed to put my mind at ease. She makes herself available at all hours and on weekends too. Kerrie is an attorney who truly cares about her clients and I am recommending her to all of my family and friends who need a lawyer!!!

Posted by jlangrill454lsx | March 26, 2015 | Wrongful Termination

AWESOME LAWYER for EEOC claim/ civil litigation.

I decided to use Ms. Kessing yet again! (Second time) I retained her as my legal counsel in a civil litigation matrer. I was wrongfully terminated by my current employer and needed to take immediate action with a current EEOC claim I decided to file. She handled all aspects of this case with the high...est degree of concern and professionalism. When I decided to go with Kerrie Kessing again for the second time... I'm sure glad I didn't go to someone else. At least I knew what I was getting the second time around. No regets and we settled for more money than I was expecting in court. Compared to other attorneys, she is the best value for the money!!! I've had nothing but sucess, regarding the Kessing Law Firm. Thanks again for the second time Kerrie!

PHENOMENAL ATTORNEY!!!! extremely pleased!!!

I hired Ms. Kessing several months ago, to represent me in Cherokee County GA. I was dealing with a slew of problems steming from an ex girlfriend. I was a total and utter wreck after what I was dealing with from the year prior. I was being threatened and harassed by my ex for money and my career was... at stake. Ms. Kessing treated me as if I were not just another case number, rather a person. She cared about what I had to say, all my concerns and needs and was the best choice when deciding who to hire!!! Hands down the best!!! We won my case in court and she treated the matter very seriously! Its obvious that Ms. Kessing and the kessing law firm are the best around! I would recommend her to anyone and everyone that needs an attorney for whatever it is they're going through! She will prevail and has proven it!!! Respect goes out to Ms. Kessing and her law firm! Thank you sooooooooo much!!! - Josh

Hire her first!

*I hired Kerrie Kessing for my Family Law case *I was also unaware of the extreme mess my previous attorney made that she cleaned up The mess my first attorney created was a despicable process simply because he was arrogant and didn't listen to me. He ended up filing the inappropriate paperwork w...ith the incorrect "lingo" and in the end my case lasted four years. However, I hired Ms. Kessing to not only clean up what the other attorney did but to handle my case appropriately. That is exactly what she did! I have learned through my experiences people generally hire attorney's to get revenge or to be vengeful towards another person; it has nothing to do with justice. Most attorney's do not seek the truth, nor do they care to. They only care about winning. I have seen many attorney's cause trouble on purpose within their cases simply to charge their client more money in the interim. They don't care if children are involved or if their actions hurt anyone in the process, so long as they win. What an improper use of our justice system. Suffice to say the issues usually continue due to the attorney's. What really makes Ms. Kessing special is that she doesn't like other attorney's, as this was the first thing out of her mouth when I met her. In my lengthy experience with her she knows what other attorney's do and how underhanded they can be. She eliminates the drama and trouble other attorney's seek to create. Ms. Kessing's professionalism is superb. She aggressively protects her clients and she keeps her clients aware of every step of the process. She is one of the very few attorney's I have come across that practices law for the right reasons. She is guided by very clean principles, personable and most assuredly one of a kind. She is quick on her feet under pressure, supportive and dedicated. Additionally, she personally responded to my messages, Always! That is a personal touch you don't find anymore.
