The Best Attorney in Georgia

"I had the pleasure of working with Christy Draper and I cannot recommend her enough! She is truly an exceptional attorney who genuinely cares about her clients. Her expertise, guidance, and support throughout my son's criminal case was invaluable. She took the time to listen, explained complex lega...l concepts in a clear and concise manner, and worked tirelessly even on her vacations and off time to ensure the best possible outcome. Her professionalism, compassion, and dedication to justice are truly impressive. She made a potentially daunting and stressful experience much more manageable and bearable. I feel fortunate to have had her by my our side and I'm grateful for their exceptional representation. If you're seeking an attorney who is knowledgeable, empathetic, and fiercely advocate for their clients, look no further than Christy Draper, She is a true advocate and a credit to her profession. 5 stars aren't enough - I would give her 20 stars if I could! Thank you again for your outstanding service and support! WE LOVE YOU CHRISTY My baby is Home!!

Great Attorney

Christy was great in my most vulnerable time. She gave great counsel. She calmed me in my rage and reigned in the crazy that was coming from stress. She even mentored my wife who was a new attorney.

Too busy to care. Don't bother.

Far too many irons in the fire. Always in a hurry, absorbed with her other clients and does not fight for the best interests of her clients or have the time for researching or doing the best for her clients. Has no understanding of children with special needs. Depends on her paralegal for most of her... work. Would never use again.

Above & Beyond

Christy was my lawyer for two separate adoptions. She and her staff were very helpful and quick to answer any questions I had. They made an already wonderful experience of adopting even better.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • 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.
