Salmeh Fodor handled my divorce and is an outstanding lawyer - very smart, thoughtful, and wholly engaged. Would happily recommend her and her excellent team for any family law needs.
Salmeh and her team did amazing job helping me through my divorce. I didn’t really completely understand my rights. They explained everything as they went and made sure I wasn’t being pushed over by my ex. This team will give you their all and help you along the way. She really does look out for your and your child’s well-being. I’d recommend her to any of my friends with or without children involved.
A divorce lawyer helps you if you no longer want to be married. Whether you want a legal separation or the marriage ended, divorce lawyers assist you to arrange financial and family matters, typically in a negotiation with your spouse's lawyer. Alimony, child custody, child support, and a fair division of community assets (like who keeps the house or how your checking and savings accounts are divided) are matters that a divorce lawyer is trained to help determine.
If you are getting divorced and have children, part of the divorce agreement will involve determining where and with whom the children will live. A child custody lawyer can help you negotiate custody, either by agreement or in court. The custodial parent (the one the child lives with) earns the legal right to make decisions regarding the child's lifestyle, welfare, and education. Some parents opt for joint custody, which means children divide their time between both parents' homes, and parents s
If you are a parent and you divorce, the parent the child lives with often receives money (child support) from the parent no longer living with the child. Unlike alimony, which is paid to maintain an ex-spouse's lifestyle, child support pays for the child's physical, emotional, and educational needs. A child support lawyer can help parents negotiate and calculate child support, either by agreement or in court. While national guidelines to calculate child support amounts exist, you or the judge m
We protect you, your family and your assets. Whether you need an attorney to for a divorce, to establish or modify child support or child custody, or to file contempt, we will take your side and help ensure your rights are protected.

Salmeh Fodor
I was referred to Salmeh regarding a very difficult ex spouse who was refusing to do something that was ordered in the divorce decree.
Salmeh grasped the situation immediately and got to work. She was able to wrap the situation up favorably and in a timely manner. She did not attempt to ‘troll for fees’ as was my experience with another attorney a few years earlier.
She is top notch in every sense of the word. She is sharp, decisive, responsive , efficient, honest, professional and will not be stepped on or pushed around. Salmeh clearly is passionate about helping her clients and she will definitely help you achieve that success.

International divorce
As a Dutch citizen I had no idea how US / Georgia law works, and having this distance I needed a good law firm to get me trough the whole process of divorce. Luckily a contact referred me to KFLAW LLC in Atlanta. Salmeh took my case and right from start was able to set realistic expectations. Salmeh is an expert in her field of expertise. Even though I complicated the case by living in a different country, It never stopped Salmeh from taking this case and bringing it to a good result. Salmeh and her team stood by my side till the very end of this divorce that took over a year. I highly recommend Salmeh, and her firm to anyone in need of professional support in a divorce.

Salmeh is awesome. She's responsive, communicates well, and walked me thru the process with patience and wisdom. That said, she fought hard for me. I'm just glad my ex didn't hire her!

Absolutely amazing attorney
Over the past 5 years I've worked with Salmeh multiple times on divorce and domestic violence issues. She helped me navigate the legal process when I didn't have the emotional capacity to handle it alone. She helped to protect both me and my children. She helped me get a proper amount of custody and child support so that I can raise my children in the best way possible moving forward. I cannot put into words the impact Salmeh and her firm has had on my life and the lives of my children. We are all safer and happier today because of the unending support and help Salmeh provided. It goes without saying that I would highly recommend you give Salmeh a call if you need help.

Best Attorney in Georgia
My case is not yet even finished,however this attorney has impressed me beyond my greatest imagination. At this point, whatever the outcome, I have full confidence I have had the best legal representation in Georgia. She is quick to respond. She is available. She is a Tiger. And she is prepared. If you need a beast in the courtroom, and someone that cares about your children, and getting you what you deserve, then hire Salmeh Fodor. I am not a "big time" client, however, she treats me as if I was one. She will make your opposing party wish they knew the law as well as she does. She is professional, strategic, insightful, and brilliant. This woman should be in movie....as she is just ....that...good.

If you need a really great divorce lawyer and team, as I did, just call them!
Salmeh and her team are more than excellent lawyers - they are kind, hard working and not only do they not give up, they will not let you give up! I met Salmeh when I was in shock, the darkest time ever in my life, and she walked me through it. I immediately trusted her, even though I know lawyers have such a bad reputation and was a bit cautious. When it comes to hand holding, this team of Salmeh and Calina have all four hands ready and a box of tissues if you need it. I have not had a lot of positive experiences with lawyers so to be able to trust was the first thing on my list. And from the very first consultation. I felt that this firm had my back - I had no idea what to do however, and ever so patiently, it was explained to me. I always had choice, there was never any pressure; my divorce was very complicated and took a year and a half to complete. While it looked at one point that we would need to go to trial, the work they did avoided that and earned the settlement I deserved. It is never easy going through this and I was very naive going in - they educated me gently and guided me through the process. While I do not have any experience with other divorce lawyers, from what I have read, this is rare. I urge you to at least give them a call and go for a consultation. For good reasons, I could not go to family or friends for a lawyer recommendation so I read reviews and Salmeh's was one that stood at the top- I am so grateful I made that call!

The right choice!
I prayed for the right attorney and found Salmeh. She is a caring and compassionate advocate and assisted me during my difficult divorce. She was knowledgeable, fierce and supportive during a time when I was afraid for my future. She was readily available and patient with all my questions. She and her associate, Calina, are a great team and I would highly recommend them!

Wonderful Attorney with a Wealth of Legal Knowledge
I have appreciated and found solace in Salmeh's handling of my divorce case. I know my case wasn't the easiest at times, but your professionalism and genuine concern for my welfare and that of my children was evident at every step of the process. I respect that you always told me the pragmatic and realistic side of things, even when I was basing my judgments on pure emotion and hoping that honor would win simply based on its merits.
I wish that my case could have been easier on all of us, but I couldn't have asked for a more dedicated and caring attorney on my side than you. So thank you for all that you did to help me get through a very difficult and upheaving experience.
I take comfort in knowing that I have you in my corner should I need legal counsel in the future.

I had a complicated Interstate Child Custody case that went on for years. When I hired Salmeh, she resoved my case and I recieved my final order within a couple of months. She went above and beyond in mediation and even got a portion of my child medical cost reimburse. Thank you so much Salmeh!

Kind, professional, and motivated
It's hard to find a lawyer that will honestly cares and will work hard for you, but Salmeh breaks those old stereotypes and reinvigorates one's hope. I was referred to Salmeh by another attorney here in California at a deciding point in my child custody case; a deciding point that I felt wouldn't go my way or anywhere remotely close. I had lost most of my will to fight on, but took the referral and contacted Salmeh anyway. Extremely professional and knowledgable on law, Salmeh immediately rebolstered my will to press on, and with her help the case was settled with me remaining as the legal father. I couldn't have anticipated it ending so well, and I owe it all to Salmeh. If you need a lawyer to help bump your case up to first class, she's the one to do it. I highly recommend Salmeh, and I am indefinitely indebted to her wonderful services. Thank you Salmeh!
