Best of the best for family law in Atlanta

After using a separate firm for the first court date, then subsequently dropping and remaining without representation through a large duration, I contacted Aaron Thomas Law prior to our final custody hearing. In our hour-long consultation I gained more understanding of the process as all of my quest...ions were finally answered thoroughly. With confidence, Aaron would be the best choice to represent my family. After retaining the firm, Elizabeth became my primary point of contact and was very professional, realistic, and extremely knowledgeable in family law. All correspondence was thorough while including Aaron. Responses were prompt, scrupulous, and efficient. Both Elizabeth and Aaron quickly learned the “personalities” involved in our case and we devised a game plan for a mutually-agreeable and expedient result. In the midst of a pandemic with broad uncertainty, Aaron Thomas Law firm was understanding this is not the most ideal time for litigation and took great care in explaining all costs ahead of time as well as managing my expectations. I was referred to the firm by a dear friend and could not be more pleased with their work and dedication to my case. If you are involved in family litigation, I highly recommend Aaron Thomas Law for representation.

ATL Families Choose ATL for Their Family Law Matters!

For the last year, Aaron and his staff have worked so diligently and professionally on a visitation/child custody matter that has wreaked havoc over my life for the last 3 years. Aaron and Juli are professional, strategic, methodical, caring, logical, and empathetic. We recently received a final judg...ment, and I was awarded everything I asked for and then more. Aaron and his team navigated COVID-19 and managing virtual trials with ease and preparation. Aaron and Juli dedicate themselves and their work to ensuring that you and the other party do the right things for the children involved in the case. If you are interested in selecting a law firm who treats his clients with respect, who is responsive, who is professional, who takes the time to explain, who listens and engages, who is strategic and prepared, and who knows the law and will win your case because of all of the aforementioned things, then please go with Aaron Thomas. As a former single mother, who has made my way around the legal community but could never find the best representation for myself and my case, I know a lot of lawyers. Honestly, Aaron is about the best there is in Atlanta. He truly at the top of his class, which means absolutely everything when you have someone fighting for a personal issue like family law matters.

Look no further...you have found the one!!!

Deciding whether or not to get divorced was a tough decision. I thought that choosing a divorce attorney was going to be even tougher. I read review after review but finally went with Aaron based on a family members' recommendation and I couldn't be happier. I was pregnant with my 3rd child while goi...ng through this process, and Aaron helped me make the best decisions for myself and my children. He is very thorough and covers all bases. He was always available when I needed him whether I called or emailed. He was able to answer all of my questions and even my what-if scenarios. Aaron and his paralegal Juli made me feel like I was a part of their family. I got nothing but warmth and compassion from them both. They made this experience the best it could have possibly been. Even though my divorce is final, Aaron still checks in on me to see how my kids and I are doing. I have recommended him to 3 other close friends. If you are looking for someone that can handle business, listen to what you need, and give you sound advice, Aaron is your guy! TL: DR HIRE AARON HE WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU!!! YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!!!!

Today, is about the 2 year mark, of my divorce, from my ex-wife, we share an amazing 41/2 year old daughter together. My priorities were to do what was best for my daughter, which included, taking care of her mom, until she found a good job. Aaron was great! He listened to me, gave me great advice an...d our divorce went smoothly. The thing about divorce, when you share a child, is that it’s on going. Divorce is extremely emotional, as people, sometimes we react to things emotionally, which 9 out of 10 times, leads to more issues. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Aaron for 2 years. The great thing about Aaron is how calm & comforting he is. He genuinely wants what’s best for his client’s & their families. He tries to keep you out of court, by helping you to work things out. Don’t take that to mean, he’s afraid of court, in fact being in court is one of his strength’s, Aaron wants what’s best for me & my daughter. Not what’s best for Aaron. I’m proud to say, that through this process, I got 50/50 custody of my daughter, I was able to take care of my ex, without putting myself in a financial bind & I gained a true friend in Aaron Thomas. I’ve recommended him to several people, who have all had positive experiences, with him. If you’re reading this and need a divorce attorney, look no further. Retaining Aaron is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I’ll always be grateful, to him, for being calm & in control. I’m also grateful to him for his friendship.

Couldn’t Ask for More

Aaron came highly recommended prior to me retaining him. He lived up to the high praise and more. Aaron took the time to understand what was important to me and what my goals were in the divorce prior to starting work on my case. Aaron and his paralegal Juli went beyond what I could have possibly ask...ed to ensure my specific non-legal goals were met during the proceedings. Aaron was responsive and timely in communications. He constantly adjusted legal strategy based on my desires and discussions with me. When I set out a specific goal, Aaron would find creative ways to make it happen. He was compassionate during the entire process and took the time to explain the pros and cons of every option. In the end, Aaron made sure my case was settled with me getting more than I expected and more than I thought possible in the divorce. I would not just recommend Aaron, I would insist my friends and family retain Aaron if they needed services within his area of practice.
