She is eager to give advice and will share information to benefit you. I can't say enough special things about this lady. I look forward to working with her in the future.

A great Lawyer for any divorce case
Attorney Alfred is a wonderful lawyer who cares about her clients. She handled my divorce case and has provided emotional and legal support for me through out my entire case. She always answered my calls and advised me of options that provided the best outcome for my case. Her fees are very reasonable and she is very knowledgeable of Georgia family law. I would recommend her to anyone that is going divorce and doesn't know how to handle it.

Experienced Attorney
Mrs. Alfred's experience as an attorney played multiple roles in my case. Because there was a child involved, Mrs. Alfred took the necessary time and care to protect my child's interest. At the same time, attorney Alfred was timely and thorough with meetings, proceedings and a clearly defined path to address the primary situation. Mrs. Alfred's experience is noted, but her ability to connect, ask and answer questions was greatly appreciated. We were victorious in spite of the challenges. Thanks

Mrs. Alfred An Advocate for Client's and their Children
10/15/18 Mrs. Alfred is very caring, sympathetic, understanding and honest. In addition, she is fair. I think most attorney's would have not only been intimidated by my case, but a high percentage put off because, it covers nearly over a decade of contention and chaos regarding: domestic violence and visitation issues layered with contempt's, GAL (s), counselor's and supervised visitation. In such, a short notice and time-frame that require: trial preparation, notes, open/closing and testimony's. Mrs. Janice was able to gather everything up even with my documents not being as thorough as needed and vindicated both I and my daughter. I feel blessed to have come across her profile, as well as, a client of hers'. I am so thankful. Now, I can sleep, eat, breathe and move on with my life.

Highly Recommended. Reliable, Trustworthy, Hardworking, & Knowledgeable
Attorney Alfred has my my lawyer for years. After 5 months of not seeing nor knowing where my daughter was living, she was able to track her down. I am now able see my daughter on a regular basis and can be the father she needs. Attny Alfred made a difficult situation work. She has plenty of experience in family law and was able to represent and guide me in the best direction—not only for my best interest, but my daughter’s best interest first & foremost.

Perfection @ it's best
Janice was very professional, supportive, knowledgeable, consistent, reliable, and very informative. She walked me through the entire process step by step. She explained how things would work for me, my ex-spouse, and my daughter to ensure I was making the best decisions not just for me and her but for my daughter as well. i would recommend her to any and everyone!

Great Representation
I called several attorneys seeking help to a court ordered IDO for Child Support and Alimony stopped. Ms. Alfred was the only attorney that took the time to explain things over the phone. I felt comfortable with her approach to getting the stop order in place. I hired Ms. Alfred to represent me, she worked diligently corresponding with the judges staff attorney to get the order before the judge and signed. If you want an attorney that is going to return your phone calls and work for you Ms. Alfred want disappoint you. I was extremely pleased with her professionalism and representation.

Great Hire
I hired Ms. Alfred to help me with a child custody issue with my son. I'm out of state and Ms. Alfred made sure my case was top priority. She continuously made sure I was up-to-date on all matters dealing with my case. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who is dealing with any child custody issues.

Excellent Lawyer
Janice Alfred did everything she could for my case, and made sure she covered all the bases. She did not fail at all. I appreciate her keeping me informed about everything that was going on, especially how the laws work in Georgia. Im from Pennsylvania and was unfamiliar with how things worked. She was honest in her advice and encouragement. I appreciate everything that she has done for me and my family.

Active Duty Soldier - Janice Alfred got me my son back
Janice Alfred was the 3rd attorney I hired whilst being in hot pursuit of my son from 2011-2014. The year I hired her was July-Aug 2014. At the time I was stationed in Fort Knox, KY and my son's mother had kidnapped him and fled to Atlanta, GA despite KY court orders ordering her to turn over our son to me (I became primary custodial parent due to her repeated failure to allow visitation) since May 2013. Desperate for an attorney, I did some online research on Atlanta, GA attorneys and I decided to go with Janice Alfred. To make a very long story short, Mrs Alfred was very professional and to the point about everything. She remained in constant contact and asked me questions to ensure there was no misunderstanding when presenting my case. Attorney Alfred is extremely competent, did not allow herself to be outspoken during court hearings (which I found very impressive) and was completely thorough in composing my years long counter argument. On our last court date, she did everything in her power to ensure that I left with my son and didn't pull any punches until the "bell rang" Now, it is Oct 2016 and I have had my son for 2 years - I am enjoying every moment! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a competent attorney who will display solid conviction in the courtroom. Thank you, Janice Alfred!!!

Attorney Alfred represented me with excellence and was very professional. I was in court several times and each time I was represented by her. Without a doubt I would recommend her services to family and friends.

Better than expected.
At first I was doubtful, but I guess it's her job to tell me the first offer. I ended up with community service and an evaluation. Dropped. Better than expected.
