Finally, an Attorney Who Didn’t Just Settle

Kayla was great to work with. After a highly contested and contentious five-year custody battle, she was the attorney who finally helped my brother cross the finish line. She was passionate and genuinely committed to reaching a fair resolution. Kayla was also willing to work with us on pricing, wh...ich meant a lot during such a long and stressful process. She’s “spicy” at times, even with her own clients, but that’s exactly what you want in an attorney. She tells the truth, pushes when necessary, and isn’t afraid to file motions, advocate strongly, and fight for the best possible outcome. Too many attorneys are quick to settle, even when the deal isn’t in their client’s best interest. Kayla was willing to fight when it mattered. She truly acted as my brother's advocate and voice, and we’re incredibly grateful for her dedication and results.

Amazing Lawyer

Kayla was more than amazing. She gave us some great pointers on how to respond to my partner and I situation. If we should need to hire an attorney, she will be our pick. Thank you, Kayla!

Five Stars for Upchurch!

I recently had a consultation with Attorney Kayla Upchurch and was thoroughly impressed. She was knowledgeable, clear and efficient - offering helpful information while keeping the conversation focused and moving forward. I left the consultation feeling more confident and informed about my situation.... Highly recommend!

Compassionate and Competent

Mrs. Kayla Upchurch, Esq. was referred to me by a well known, highly respected divorce lawyer who mentors and trains successful family attorneys. My case was a high conflict and contentious divorce. So, after being mishandled and wrongly advised for almost a year, I was disgusted with doing my own le...gal research, and I hired Kayla! I needed someone I could trust who knew what to expect from certain judges, was seasoned, respected, understood the process in my district, and put me at ease. It’s important that your lawyer has relationships with key people so you don’t waste your time and money with them trying to learn the unspoken rules. My ex has an untreated mental illness which resulted in delays, frivolous claims, bogus accusations, threats, and various motions to compel. However, Kayla stood up to the opposing counsel, their claims and drama while also encouraging and teaching me! I’m grateful she helped me see the bright side of things, and corrected me with kindness and professionalism. Ultimately, we faired well after the worst season of my life. Kayla is a wise, well-rounded, compassionate lawyer with a diverse background who knows the law. I never had to look up Georgia statutes because I trusted her advice. She is a real asset to her clients and colleagues. I didn’t have a chance to see her as a bulldog in the courtroom, like others have noted, because she kept me from interacting with the judge. So, if Kayla could get me out of a legal mess, she’ll do the same for you. Now, after multiple judges and attorneys, I am finally divorced. Thank you Kayla! I would not recommend anyone else for your family law needs.
