Tight Work

Janee Hawkins was AWESOME!!! I needed an attorney for a major charge. I called and obtained the Foster Law Firm for representation. Ms. Hawkins went to work immediately. She kept me informed with everything I needed to know. She did not play any games with the prosecution. I admire that she fou...ght for me like she was my own mother. I recommend Foster Law Firm, especially, Janee Hawkins, to anyone in need of of council!!! Ms. Janee was and is a blessing to me and my family!!! May God continue to bless you and your firm!!!

Professional & Compassionate

Attorney Foster is very professional, knowledgeable and compassionate in her field. She was very attentive to my concerns and explained everything in detail as we went through the process of establishing custody of my young daughter. I felt at ease working with her and trusted that she had my best ...interest at heart. I would definitely recommend her to other in similar situations. THANK YOU!

Best Attorney In Atlanta GA

My 15 year old was facing three felonies and one misdemeanor in Fulton county. The charges were as followed: Aggravated Assault upon a peace officer; Theft by receiving stolen property; possession of firearm during commission of a felony; willful obstruction of law enforcement officer. I had another... lawyer for one year and two months until he decided to ask my daughter to take first offender and seven years probation. This was another sign I needed to get another lawyer. I hired Ms.. Foster in 8/2019 and she and had my daughter case transferred to juvenile out of superior court , my daughter was released from juvenile which she had been there since 2/2019 and all felonies dropped and she pleaded guilty to the misdemeanor. Case closed on 1/15/2020 with no probation just CLOSED! Attorney Foster did all this for use within 6 months. She is a SUPER STAR , very professionally and she always returned phones and emails. Any questions I had she would answer and explain so I could understand. Attorney Foster saved my daughters life and mine. When I was beginning to lose hope she restored it for me with her honesty and loving personality. I would recommend her to anyone that is having any legal issues. Her payment plan is very affordable so it was not a burden on me to all have all the money at once. I pray I never need legal assistance but if I do she is going to forever be in my contacts. Thank you for everything you have done for my family. There are no words to express my gratitude for what you have done for us! I would prefer to EVERYONE!

Very Impressive!

I had the pleasure of retaining the services of Chinwe Foster's regarding my divorce proceedings. I found her to be extremely professional and knowledgeable which made this very stressful time a lot less stressful. I appreciated the fact that she was very upfront with me aboutmy options and the exp...ectations of my case. I would highly recommend her for your legal needs and I will most definitely be using her as a resource for any legal needs I may have.

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."
