Highly recommend

Gary Alembik demonstrated tremendous expertise in my ongoing child custody case. I have used Mr. Alembik over a period of 10 years. I can only say positive things. My daughter is in my custody today because of him. I was able to take her out of state amongst many other issues. He handled everyth...ing with confidence and integrity. I highly recommend Mr. Alembik for any families needs. I would not Trust my childs future to any other attorney.

Angel on Earth...Representing the Law!

There are very few times in life when you meet someone that has accepted their true calling in life. It was abundantly clear from our first meeting that Mr. Gary Alembik was born to be an attorney. His charming personality, infinite wisdom and serving heart was a welcomed surprise when meeting an att...orney of his caliber. Mr. Alembik was the only attorney I contacted (and I contacted over five) who was willing to take my case. I had an out of state visitation modification that was very complex (to say the least). Mr. Alembik was constantly reviewing case studies in order to ensure that we had a favorable outcome in court. However, my case was settled in the 24th hour and court was not necessary. I am extremely confident that my case was settled outside of court because Mr. Alembik was a steadfast pillar of knowledge and determination in the midst of conflict. His resolve to seek the best possible outcome for me (and my child) was genuine and heartwarming. It was reassuring to know that he “had my back” no matter what circumstance arose. If you're looking for a no nonsense attorney who will tell you the good, the bad and the ugly, then Mr. Alembik is the right attorney for you. He is straight forward with his advice and his fees. There are no surprises. You know exactly what to expect when it comes to the law and when it comes to billing. Mr. Alembik was readily available when I had a question/concern. I might be a little biased, but I preferred email communication because it allowed us (me and Mr. Alembik) to communicate when it was the most convenient time for the both of us. If a phone call was necessary, he made sure that a specific day/time was established so that we weren’t playing phone tag. Mr. Alembik will amaze you as he exceeds your expectations. If all attorneys were like him, then lawyers wouldn’t have such a bad reputation. Mr. Alembik was truly born to represent the law and I am forever thankful that God sent me this Angel to help me (and my child) in our time of need.

Highly Recommended!

Gary Alembik first represented me and my children in my divorce/child custody case, and subsequently in a custody change and then another child support change. Mr. Alembik is extremely knowledgeable, professional, honest, kind, fair (to all parties), and handles cases with the utmost integrity. His... first priority and greatest concern has always been my children. I cannot stress the importance and relief of having an attorney sincerely serving as your child’s advocate. He has truly been a blessing to my family.

Client - J. Grimes

Gary is great. He very knowledgeable and experienced with divorce, child custody, and domestic violence. I felt very safe and taken care of. He was very in tune with the emotional and human element of people and their situations. I highly recommend him for divorce, child custody, or domestic viol...ence cases.

Best Divorce Attorney in Atlanta

I had a divorce case that most attorneys would have never touched. My ex sued me over thousands of dollars of his debt including an insurmountable number of credit cards that were opened closed, reopened, etc. It was extremely confusing and most people would have hired a forensic accountant. Gary h...andled this by himself in order to provide me a signficant financial break. He was a genius during our court appearance and I walked away better than I could have ever imagined. Gary is professional, pleasant, brilliant, experienced and gets results for his client. I would highly recommend him to anyone going through a divorce.

"I have had the pleasure of working with Mr. Alembik on several matters over the years. As you would expect, based upon his experience, he is an outstanding attorney that understands both the legal and personal nature of the cases he handles. What sets him apart from other attorneys, from my perspective, is his true love and passion for the law. I don't think there has ever been a time that I saw him that he did not enlighten me regarding a new case that came out or a new twist being made on an old argument. He truely loves his profession in a way that is refreshing to see. I strongly endorse his work without any reservation."
