In good hands
Can't say enough good things about Ms. Alderman and how she handled my case. I could email her any time of the day or night and get a quick answer. I felt like I was in good hands. I hope I never have to go through anything like that again. But if I do, I wouldn't hire any other attorney.

Took the Time
I debated back and forth for 6 months about whether I should divorce. I met with Ms. Alderman 3x before deciding to divorce and hire her as my lawyer. It never felt like she was trying to push me into deciding to divorce so I could hire her. We would talk over the good and bad sides of my options....

Charges dropped
Lynn Alderman got the DA to drop the charges against me. They gave her a plea offer for me at first, but she told me the charges should be dropped. She kept hounding the DA until he saw it her way. She worked with me on her fee. Let me pay some down and some each month, which was good for me.

Excellent results
Lynn Alderman helped my wife and I get our grandchildren out of state custody and into our home. I am not from Georgia and had to put my faith in a lawyer I really didn't know. She is a pit bull in the court room. Made child services look like the fools they were about my grandchildren.
