Posted by Kirsten | March 09, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

More than excellent.

I had been in an abusive marriage for 25 years. By the time I got out and met Margaret, I was beaten down so low that I was hopeless. I owned nothing, EVERYTHING was in my husbands name. Margaret not only handled my case she helped me to believe that I did deserve a settlement as well as a better lif...e. She seemed to know every sneaky move that he was going to make before he made it. She protected me from every angle. I HIGHLY recommend her, you will not find a better attorney out there!

In short, I highly recommend her services, and hope many clients experience her many positive attributes."

Relationship: Supervised lawyer

"I endorse this lawyer. Margaret and I worked together for several years after I left McKenna Long & Aldridge. Margaret helped me write a Georgia Bar Article about the live - in - lover statute and the possible very bad ramifications if you file on of these and lose. Margaret also worked with me writing a host of appellate briefs in a case in which we represented an alleged girlfriend of a husband who was accused of receiving fraudulent conveyances from a very large marital estate. Her briefs were spot on and needless to say we had a stunning victory. She is also a pleasure to work with, calm demeanor in a crisis, good researcher, and lovely all around person."
