"Results"

I recently went through a ruff divorce in Clayton County Ga. I started out with Attorney Randall Keen who's office is located in Jonesboro, Ga. He dropped me right in the middle of my case because I couldn't give him my reminding balance 3000.00 all at one time and instructed me to come and pick up... my file from his office. After picking up my file I began to do some research for another attorney boy did I chose the right one "Shana M. Rooks". I meet with her immediately and explained my situation to her regarding my divorce and my finances at the time. Attorney Rooks was willing to take my case and work out a payment plan that worked for me. Attorney Rooks is a powerful Attorney in the court room she fight hard for me when the odds were against me. In spite of all the odds against me she won my case, I got to keep my child and was awarded Child Support she knows her STUFF. If I ever were to find myself on the other side of the Law I would not think twice as to who to call and neither should you. If you want RESULTS Attorney Shana M. Rooks is the attorney to contact.

Respectable and Trustworthy

I have the privilege of having Ms. Rooks represent me for the past 6 years in two different family cases including a divorce. I had an attorney representing me in my first case and I was headed no where fast. I was seeking custody of my son and the odds were stack against me, from what I was being to...ld by my first attorney. Because I am a man I was told that it was next to impossible to accomplish gaining custody of my son even though the circumstances were completely in my favor. Needless to say, I hired Ms. Rooks and she fought for me from day one. She made sure my case was heard and that the facts came out and not long after I was granted full custody of my son. She is very knowledgeable and attentive to all the details that even before the outcome came, she had completely won me over. Her professionalism and tenacity was greatly needed in my case and I am forever thankful to her and her staff. That being said, years later when I ran into legal obstacles again I didn't hesitate to call on again. I knew I had no worries with her on the case and the best outcome was always on the table and achievable with Ms. Rooks leading the way. The outcome was once again favorable to me and my children, her advice is priceless and I can't say enough about her tenacity and willingness not to back down from any outrageous demands. Her confidence and courage is more than enough to lift you up, even in the darkest of times during court battles. I am telling you this will be one of the best decisions you could make choosing Ms. Rooks to go into battle with you. Having her charting your course will assure that you are on the right side of the scale, make no mistake this is the best thing you can do for yourself and your legal interest.

Total Regret hiring this Firm

I recently went through a divorce and retained this firm and my case was handled by a paralegal Tina Simon all my contact was with Ms. Simon until I fired this Firm, I was totally discouraged by the handling of my case, I wasn't informed on anything, getting copy's of documents was like it wasn't min...e pertaining to my case and then I asked for the remainder of my retainer after firing this firm and went through hell, do not hire this disloyal firm you will regret it, I did and still do.
