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.

  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
