Child Custody Awarded to Father

Blake is an extremely competent Family Law attorney. My son was not receiving the treatments and therapies that are necessary for an Autism diagnosis. When we pulled the school records he had missed 50% of the school year where he had an IEP. This was concerning and could have negative repercussions... on my sons life. I changed my divorce petition to primary physical custody and we won! Now my son is receiving the recommended classes and therapies and the difference is like night and day. I will be forever grateful for the work Blake did for us.

Great lawyer

As a man I was concerned about the effects a divorce would have on my relationship with my two children. I had heard about Blake's reputation as someone that fights hard and is successful in getting men physical custody of their children. Blake scheduled a temporary hearing in the case, prior to ...the hearing we reached an agreement where I would share physical custody of my children with my wife. After several months my wife was unable to take care of the children when they were with her and she would drop them off to me on her time. Blake then set the case for a final hearing, and prior to the final hearing after Blake took her deposition, she agreed to my having sole physical custody of my children. I am forever grateful to Blake for his efforts that led to me receiving custody of my children. He worked with me on the fees as he felt very strongly that I should receive custody of my children. I am forever indebted to him for his work on my behalf.

Came to my rescue

Blake took my case without a retainer and was able to make my husband pay his attorney's fees. He got me primary physical custody of my children, maximum child support, alimony and seventy percent of the retirement accounts. My husband threatened to take custody of my children, but once Blake got i...nto the case things totally changed in my favor. I can't say enough about what a wonderful, caring lawyer that he is.

Highly Recommend!

Mr. Halberg recently represented me in my contested divorce case. After 16 years of marriage it was a complicated process and it involved my 3 children. Blake was aggressive on my behalf and showed a genuine, caring concern for my children and their best interest. He was always available to answer... my questions. He even gave me his personal cell phone number and returned my calls (and answered my emails) promptly. He was extremely knowledgeable and confident in the courtroom. He doesn't play games and he doesn't waste your time or money. He got me a substantial alimony settlement and I maintained full custody of my children. He's got over 25 years of experience and I highly recommend him, especially in cases involving children. Thank you so much, Blake, for fighting so hard for me.

Great representation

Blake represented me in a divorce and custody case. My ex-wife and her attorney were very litigeous and we could not come to a reasonable resolution for custody and visitation for our two children. My ex-wife threw out many untrue allegations regarding me and our chlidren. After a five day trial..., I was awared sole physical custody of my children. Blake was able to weed through all of the stumbling blocks my ex-wife threw out at me. His cross-examination of her caught her in numerous lies about me and the children, showing the court that she was not a fit parent to have custody. If you want a bulldog in the courtrtoom I would highly recommend Blake Halberg. He will look after your and your children's interests.

Professional misconduct

Review Panel Reprimand issued in GA, 1998

This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case, the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
