One of the Best in ATL for Family Law

Katie is one of the most meticulous and knowledgeable attorney in Atlanta for a child custody case. She is a fighter who does not give up. You will not find a more polished, buttoned-up attorney to defend you. I highly recommend her if you want someone who knows the intricacies of family law. She and... Jessica her paralegal are loyal, honest and determined.

Katie leads an awesome legal team

The Connell Cummings legal team: Katie Connell, Amy Saul Mollengarden & Jessica Bringle; which helped me with divorce related matters is really great. I really appreciated their understanding, consideration, dedication & professionalism. I hired them in two legal actions, resulting in two winning c...ases, including compensation in the second. It was my pleasure to work with this team and I would hire them any day. And of course, I would recommend them to any person who requires support to deal and resolve any family legal matter.

Hire a winning team to get the outcomes you desire

The Connell Cummings team went above and beyond for me and my family during what has been the most difficult time of my life. I heavily leaned on Katie, Christine, and Jessica during my divorce in 2021-2022, and depended on their guidance and collaborative approach considerably. There were a lot of t...wists, turns, and deepening of the plot as the proceedings unfolded. The Connell Cummings team left no stone unturned. The Connell Cummings team is extremely detailed, and strategic. They are responsive and take accountability in everything they do and deliver on. Their quality of work is extremely high and you will see the evidence of their detailed/strategic approach in their work products, in the courtroom during hearings, trials etc. If you want someone to represent your interests and the interests of your children you must invest in a legal team who is honest, has proper ethics/values, follows the law, and understands the court system they are working in. The outcome of my divorce was nothing short of a miracle to be honest (sounds dramatic but is true). While I am not sure everyone can expect such an incredible result, Katie and her team will be very upfront with you about the law, your situation, and what is reasonable to expect (and what is not) given your unique circumstances. There is no one size fits all solution in "Divorceland" since every case is so different. Connell Cummings will address your specific needs and the needs of your kids head-on no matter how challenging and complex the situation may be. The progress you will make in your divorce is directly related to the amount of truth you can hold about the situation and the Connell Cummings team will give it to you straight. They will equip you with the info and empower you to make educated decisions that will affect the rest of your life for the betterment of you and your children. I would highly recommend Connell Cummings to anyone searching for a rock star team.

My marriage of 33 years has come to an end.

I had never worked so closely with a group of attorney’s until my divorce. I had no idea that it would take over three years and how hard it would be on my family. Working with the law firm of Connell Cummings (Katie and Jeanette) would turn out to be the silver lining in a storm of clouds. I enjo...yed working with Katie and Jeanette over the past three years; tough as it was I felt like they both were always in my court. They had a plan and a strategy that worked directly in my favor, skilled negotiations mixed with a fair ‘give and take’ attitude, which left all the stress with them and me to go on with my life knowing that a solution would be reached. Thanks for answering all of my numerous questions (I had many) in timely a manner. I really appreciated the last minute phone calls, emails and texts, it kept me from losing my mind. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend your law firm to any of my friends and colleagues. If you need a law firm that will be behind you each step of the way, where there are no ‘dumb’ questions and who will see you through to a fair resolution, this is your go to law firm.

Extremely pleased!

Katie was my attorney in a long, ugly divorce that took close to 2 years. That was because my ex wife, hired, fired and then hired 2 (not one) attorney's plus she originally wanted a jury trial which the judge said she had not had a jury divorce in over 10 years. Katie responded to every demand the... opposing counsel requested almost immediately while opposing counsel would wait until the 11th hour. Her professionalism was always above board and I always felt she had my back and best interest at heart. Although I will never need her services again (lol) I will always feel confident in recommending her.
