A dream team that truly cares

I contacted Carey & Dobson LLC about two weeks before my husband and I underwent living-donor kidney transplant surgery. We needed our wills, powers of attorney, advance directives, and other estate-planning documents completed within a very short timeframe. I had worked with Attorney Dobson befor...e and knew him to be caring, knowledgeable, and passionate about helping his clients understand the law. Recognizing that Attorney Carey had more extensive experience in estate planning, he connected us with him while continuing to support us throughout the process. Attorney Carey listened carefully to our needs, stayed late to meet with us in person, and assured me that everything would be completed on time—and he kept his word. His compassion extended beyond the legal work when he had the receptionist call after our surgeries to check on us, which truly touched me. Attorney Dobson made sure we were placed in the right hands, and Attorney Carey made sure our estate-planning needs were handled with care and urgency. Together, they are truly a dream team who provided us with A+ care and service. I wholeheartedly recommend Carey & Dobson LLC.

Excellent Lawyer

Emerson helped my daughter when she was clocked doing 85 mph on 285. He knew the Asst. DA and the judge. He was able to get the speed dropped to 72 which allowed her to still be able to retain her license. He is very plugged in to the Atlanta/Dekalb network.

Personal Injury Attorney

Attorney Carey was very knowledgeable about my situation and kept me informed throughout the process. I was very satisfied with the outcome and would use him again.
