Child Custody Case

I contacted Mrs. Pelham for my daughter and granddaughter when I realized my daughter was being bullied and controlled by the paternal grandparents. When my daughter would not do what the father or grandparents wanted they continued to threaten her in more ways then one. For any man or women to be ...in a controlling relationship is bad enough but when a child is involved makes this even worse. Whatever the case may be Mrs. Pelham has put my daughter at ease. My daughter is a young mother so this has been a very scary and overwhelming case as it can be at any age. Mrs. Pelham wants what is best for my grandchild and daughter and has continued to try to keep peace and mediation between both parties. Although in our case the other party hired a lawyer to continue to try and bully us through courts just as the ex spouse did in the relationship. Mrs. Pelham knows when the time is right to step in and say enough is enough. Mrs. Pelham continues to impress me with knowing the laws to put a stop to the things the other side continues to throw at my child. Some lawyers will tell you what you want to hear so you will continue to give them money as the case with my daughter's ex's attorney. This is sad and not good for anyone. Mrs. Pelham really cares for the clients she works with and will tell you exactly the truth as to what she can do for you. If you want a caring, honest, knowledgeable (knows the law) , attorney who will fight for you and your family I recommend Mrs. Pelham. You can tell Mrs. Pelham loves what she does. Whatever it is you need, Mrs. Pelham is there for you and your family and never makes false promises!! Mrs. Pelham has put me and my family at ease. As the grandmother and mother of Mrs. Pelham's client I highly recommend her as an attorney! Thank You So Much for helping my daughter get through this very intense time.

THE BEST MOST CARING ATTORNEY I HAVE HIRED

I have been through many attorneys due to a divorce/ child visitation and support issues and got nowhere. I needed someone who truely was on my side and would fight for my rights as a parent with tenacity and gumption...and I found that in Hannah! She is professional, proficient, timely, and most of... all the best legal voice I had ever had. She went above and beyond and even helped me find and work with an out of state attorney that I had to hire. I highly recommend Hannah for her outstanding work and dedication!

Mrs. Pelham was an excellent attorney

I couldn't have made a better choice for myself and my daughter. Mrs Pelham was always always there when I had a question and was very easy to reach despite her busy schedule. She always returned my emails and phone calls and was very easy to work with. She definitely knows what she is doing. She wo...uld tell me what I needed to bring and I would do my homework and she would present it in court in a professional manner. I don't have any negative remarks about my experience with her. I would definitely recommended her to anyone who needs a family attorney. Great job Mrs.Pelham and Thank you!

Child Custody Case

Our case was difficult from the very beginning (statistically). My husband has two young boys from his first marriage and the biological mother had primary physical custody. Due to a major change in circumstances for the worse, my husband knew the boys would be better off living with us primarily and... allow the mother visitation rights and joint legal custody. This is not the easiest case to win. While Georgia has come a long way with father's rights, there can still be an imbalance at times. We hired Hannah Pelham to manage the case. There were numerous times over the course of the 9 month period of time, from when we hired her and when we finally went to court, that we became impatient. Hannah kept reassuring us that these things take time and encouraged us, as well as fought for us, to have a guardian ad litem assigned to the case. We did follow her instructions and trusted her advice. Hannah knew that in order to prove some of the claims we were making, an ad litem would be necessary. Needless to say, we finally went to court and won primary custody of my husband's two children. We are very pleased with the outcome. The slow pace of the judicial system can be frustrating, however, had we gone to court when we wanted to instead of waiting as Hannah advised, we probably would not have had the positive outcome we have today. Overall, Hannah really knew the law and what the best plan would be for us. We are pleased with our outcome with Hannah Pelham repre senting our case.
