Cyber Security Analyst

I Amy of Meriwether & Tharpe to represent me for a very difficult divorce. From the beginning, she performed brilliantly to educate me about divorce law and how those laws related to my particular case. Amy and accompanying staff have been doing this so long that they can pretty much tell you what ...the judge is thinking and how they tend to lean regarding certain decisions. At least, for me, that was the case and they were 100% accurate every time. The knowledge and piece of mind you will gain from just a brief session with Amy is unparalleled. Another surprising benefit was her expertise in handling the psychological aspects of such a dramatic change in my life. I can’t say enough positive things about my experience working with Amy. If you are considering divorce, this team is the first call you should make.

A true advocate!!

Latrese (Amy) has been a truly great person to work with. I have been using her firm for a modification to my original divorce decree. My first experience with my original lawyer was a complete joke. Going into this modification I really did not have an overall trust of attorneys so I walked into ...this process with a fair amount of trepidation. Amy has completely proved my initial feelings wrong. She takes the time to understand my issues and always offers multiple solutions. And when presenting those solutions, she always lets me know what will be best for me and my family. She truly seems to care and it shows in her thoughtful responses and attention to detail. Her response time on all matters could not be beat as well. She responds to my emails quicker than most of my employees do. I cannot say enough about how happy I am with her performance, dedication, and thoughtfulness. I feel that Amy wants what is best for me and works the best she can to try and achieve it. She has completely changed my opinion of attorneys. Is really is a true advocate!!

Thorough and Extensive Representation

I was represented by Latrese Cooper in my recent divorce and child custody case and was very pleased with her service to my children and me. As many divorces are complicated, mine involved many details such as circumstances of illness and domestic violence, an out-of-state civil protection order, ou...t-of-state residence, and accusations of mental illness and being a unfit parent of my 2 young children. From the very first consultation, Latrese listened for detail. Although not required of legal counsel, she possessed an empathy for me that was evident and I know that when she promised to work hard for me she meant it and always followed through. Latrese took the time to explain the divorce process to me as it was ongoing and also did what she could to expedite things. For the status conferences, Latrese made efforts to ensure that I could appear before the judge via telephone as I was already residing out-of-state and the cost of travel would have been an undo burden on my children and myself. During trial, I felt very confident to have Latrese on my side and trusted that I was being represented very well. Professionalism, internal strength, and confidence exuded her and I believe that the opposing counsel was not nearly as well prepared for the trial and was seemingly intimidated by Latrese's outstanding preparation and skills. I would highly recommend Latrese for any one with a pending divorce, especially those whom may have been victimized throughout a marriage. Her level of performance is above average and I consider the final decisions made in my case to be more than adequate to my expectations.

Very Knowledgeable Attorney!!!!

I met Attorney Cooper at a Family Law Workshop in Fulton County. During our brief exchange, Ms. Cooper provided me a wealth of knowledge and understanding of a divorce and the process. Her firm's motto, Divorce Hurts...but it doesn't have to be nasty" captures the true essence of her professionalism.... I met with Ms. Copper for a consultation and was extremely pleased with her knowledge, forethought, patience and professionalism. I am much more comfortable than I was before the consult and have the necessary tools to move forward with my divorce.

One Smart Cookie!

I had the pleasure of working with Latrese through my divorce. From the beginning she was better prepared, more organized, and completely knowledgable in all facets of my situation. Surprisingly divulging information without even referring to my files, almost like a human encyclopedia of my divorce a...nd circumstances. Just starting out, but is already a trusted, hardworking, compasionate lawyer who seems to be very ambitious to prove her ability to reperesent you well. I was very fortunate to have her in my corner and the end result was extremmly positive.
