Recommendation for Emily S. Bair

When my divorce proceedings started I hired a lawyer in a large firm. After months of having little access to my lawyer and getting no results, I called Sandy. It was after hours, she personally answered the phone and talked to me for an hour. I felt comfortable talking to her, was grateful for th...e time she gave to me on the phone and felt good about her opinions. I made an appointment to see her. Sandy was not only immediately accessible and kept me informed, but she involved me in the research and paper work. This not only saved me money, but empowered me with information and facts about my case. Sandy was realistic about the case and told me what I needed to do to get the job done quickly and cost efficiently. I trusted her and felt I had a professional who was concerned about my future and welfare. I highly remmonend her.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Emily ("Sandy") Bair for over 30 years. I recently recommended her to represent one of the most important people in my world --- my own child --- in a hotly contested divorce and child custody matter. She did an incredible job--- kept her head when all about her were losing theirs, and produced an amazingly just result in a reasonable period of time. Calm, competent, and expert in what she does. One cannot ask for more. I would refer any client of mine in the Atlanta area to her, knowing that client would be in good hands."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
