You want a lawyer that’s passionate about what she does, you want a lawyer that keeps you informed every step of the way, you want a lawyer that d...oesn’t tell you one thing then get in front of the judge, and the DA and switch up on. You want a lawyer who’s going to fight, be aggressive. Hire Chinwè Foster and her fabulous team of attorneys.

Health Care Assistant

Attorney Chinwe Foster, Esq and her team of experts.. After 35 years of marriage, my spouse and I separated. During that time I was brought up on criminal charges by my spouse as act of revenge. I did not know the severity of my case and I needed an experienced and high powered attorney familiar wit...h my particular county. Attorney Foster and her team provided me the legal advice to guide me through the process. Our first meeting was via Zoom and her professionalism, legal knowledge, and sincerity was very apparent. Attorney Foster implemented a plan of action, provided me legal scenarios, allowed me to provide feedback and demonstrated open communication which is very important to a client who is under tremendous stress and anxiety dealing with the criminal justice system. The client portal was an excellent tool for clients to communicate, send documents, and receive immediate updates. Each time I reached out to Attorney Foster and her team, they were very understanding and demonstrated excellence when it comes to active listening. It was a very challenging period for me and Attorney Foster was forthcoming with updates and held high expectations of the process. Always, the goal was to provide the best possible outcome for me as her client. I am extremely grateful for Attorney Foster and her team of experts for their dedication and legal support. I would highly recommend Attorney Foster, Esq and her team of experts. Warm Regards...

Let me start off by saying I'm happy that I hired the Foster law firm to represent me with my legal issues that I was facing in Fulton county Attorney Chinwe Foster, Jenn Hawkins and Michael Hall showed up and showed out. They were very professional and persistent with fighting the charges that ...was against me with that being said if anyone happens to be facing some very significant charges I highly recommend that you let these guys fight for you.

Criminal defense lawyer | Sep 14

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. I have had the pleasure of working with Ms. Foster on a number of criminal matters. In our most recent criminal trial together, we not only obtained a not guilty on 4 criminal counts, but Ms. Foster was able to get a veteran law enforcement officer to recant his entire testimony. This officer was a key witness for the prosecution, and was instrumental in obtaining the acquittal for our client. Ms. Foster is a passionate, caring, and diligent advocate for her clients."
