It’s not fun but they can help get you through it.

Samantha and her team are professional, understanding, honest and supportive. Navigating separation / divorce is tricky and can be overwhelming. Samantha and Hannah simplified the process and provided much-needed guidance.

BEST DIVORCE ATTORNEY IN ATL

BEST DIVORCE ATTORNEY IN ATL I highly recommend Samantha Lennon at LGS Family Law with zero reservations. When you need a divorce attorney, do yourself a big favor and call Samantha Lennon. My divorce is just finishing up. It was messy and awful and lasted over 2 years. Samantha came on boa...rd about a year in and when she did, everything started to feel more under control and started to go my way. If I hadn’t hired her, its very possible my ex-wife’s attorney would still be dragging this out at great financial and personal cost. Samantha is a very smart talented attorney who knows Georgia family law inside and out. She was honest from the get go, did not overpromise anything and was not afraid to give me a reality check when I needed one. She took the time to understand my case and she fought very hard for what I wanted. She helped me get a custody arrangement and financial settlement that was significantly better than I was expecting. As a parent of young children herself, she will help you advocate for your kids and keep their interests first in mind. In my case, she understood my concerns about my kids and was able to look out for their best interests and help us make a concrete parenting plan better than the GAL or their GAL recommended therapist. Samantha is extremely responsive and will usually respond to emails within a few hours. She will not leave you hanging! Her paralegal, Hannah Garcia, is also wonderful to work with and she is also excellent at her job. During my phone calls with Samantha and throughout my depositions and arbitration, she made me feel like my divorce was the only case she was focusing on. She was always a step ahead of me, was always very prepared, professional and on time. She was very persuasive and skillful during my trial and it was impressive to watch! She’s also a great writer and communicator and really great at diffusing tense situations with difficult personalities and big egos.

A Fresh Start, Thanks to Samantha

After seven long years of a messy, emotionally draining divorce, Samantha was the key to finally turning the page and starting fresh. A good friend referred me to her after hearing about the ongoing challenges I’d faced trying to finalize the divorce while protecting my son. I first met Samantha i...n February 2024 at her welcoming office in downtown Atlanta. From the moment we sat down, I felt a sense of relief. Her friendly demeanor, down-to-earth personality, compassion for my situation, and yes—her stylish appearance—immediately stood out. She made a difficult conversation feel safe and manageable. Then came the Dropbox document phase—ugh! It was painful, but Samantha’s paralegal, Hannah, was incredible. She kept me on track, answered all my questions, and made sure I submitted everything needed. Emotionally, the process took a toll. There were a few late-night breakdown emails, but both Samantha and Hannah handled them with empathy. Sometimes, their silence was the support I needed most. They just knew. Fast forward to the best part—full custody and all parental rights granted. YES! But the journey wasn’t over. The next challenge was ensuring my son’s last name reflected the family that truly supports and loves him. It felt like a mini flashback of the divorce chaos and took another nine months. Still, Samantha rose to the occasion again, showing her legal skills, persistence, and deep care. And now, that chapter is finally closed. I highly recommend Samantha for her savviness, compassion, attention to detail, and personal touch. A bonus: she never made me constantly come into the office like other attorneys. After our initial meeting, everything was handled virtually—except for one court appearance. I’ve only seen her twice in 20 months, and yet she’s been a steady, powerful advocate throughout.

Professional, Honest, and Truly the Best Divorce Lawyer

Divorce is never easy, emotionally and financially, and divorcing a narcissist makes the process even more difficult. I found Samantha through a Google search in January 1st, 2024. After reading her reviews and then speaking with her during the consultation, I knew immediately she was the right attor...ney for me and hired her the very next day. As many others have shared, Samantha’s professionalism is unmatched. She is smart, knowledgeable, organized, efficient, and honest. Beyond that, she is also incredibly personable, empathetic, patient, and caring. She always gave me honest advice when I had questions, and wasn’t afraid to provide constructive feedback when I needed it. She is a true person of integrity. I will never forget how, despite being ill during my temporary hearing, Samantha fought tirelessly for me. At my final trial, the case unexpectedly went into an extra half day, and she nearly missed her flight to France for a vacation with her husband, but she never once wavered in her commitment to my case. She responded to my emails late at night, during the weekend, and even sent me articles to help me cope emotionally while dealing with my narcissist ex. As a mother herself, she genuinely cared not just about me but about my children as well. One of the rarest qualities I found in Samantha is that she truly tries to save her clients money. I was facing financial difficulties, and when reviewing my bills, I could clearly see how she made every effort to be efficient and mindful of costs. I also want to thank Hannah, her amazing paralegal, who was always responsive and supportive throughout the process. Together, they are the best team you could hope for to represent you. Thank you, Samantha and Hannah! For your hard work, dedication, and genuine care for me and my children. I wouldn’t wish my experience on anyone, but if you are facing a difficult divorce, Samantha is absolutely the person you want by your side!

Fantastic divorce attorney

Samantha Lennon is the best lawyer in GA . I am so thankful for her and her sweet paralegal, Hannah. They are such a wonderful team. My divorce case was a very painful and difficult experience but Samantha was there for me fighting the whole way. She is very intelligent and always knew exactly what... the best course of action was. At my ex husband’s deposition, Samantha was a warrior, wow !!! she truly was incredible. She helped me get more than I thought I would for my children and myself. Samantha is a blessing. Thank you.
