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 reasonabl...e 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.

Divorce

I hired this attorney for my divorce case, not knowing she would be dishonest and not trustworthy. Through my process It was very hard to contact her. I made a bad decision in choosing my attorney :(

Replied last August 16, 2017

This person is likely a fraud who is hiding behind anonymity on the internet. I have not been dishonest with any client, and in fact client's appreciate the fact that I do not sugarcoat things and do not provide them with false hope and unreasonable expectations. I have only had one individual in the past year be dissatisfied with me, and it had nothing to do with me and all to do with him wanting me to charge a flat fee for a divorce after we discussed the fees and he reviewed and signed the retainer agreement, which was clear. Needless to say, the representation was terminated by me before it even started. If this is this individual, then his review is malicious and misguided for obvious reasons.

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, s...he 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.

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 w...as 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!!!
