Posted by Ashanti Lemonia | June 07, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

No Help at all

I hired Mr. Chin to help me with my divorce. I had just moved to Georgia and was trying to get divorced from my husband who lived in Louisiana. Mr. Chin allowed me to pay $1200.00 and failed to mention he had no jurisdiction in the state of Louisiana. I then paid another $360.00 of money I did not ha...ve due to being strong armed by my husband. He took this money and I stood in court alone and represented myself. When I asked him to refund my money he ghosted me and I still have yet to be paid back. Countless calls, emails, and voicemails where left for Justin Chin and his paralegal Ashley McClure and yet neither of them has gotten back with me. SHAMEFUL!!!

We have been trying to resolve this situation with Ashanti. We have offered to setup a meeting to resolve her final bill.

Divorced in record time!

I was served divorce papers in January and Justin and his team was able to successfully negotiate a settlement agreement by March! Through mediation, Justin and Danielle negotiated a settlement agreement well in my favor - no overnight visits with the Father, child support for my 3 YO and a parenting... plan that did not require holiday visits. I couldn't be more relieved and happy with the outcome!

Awesome lawyer with a great team!!!

"I hired Justin in July 2021 and he had my son legitimated by March 2022 and got me joint primary physical custody with week-on/week-off! I also get four weeks in the summer and a FaceTime call at 7pm daily! Make sure you follow all of your lawyer's instructions and follow the process. The mediator... that Justin chose was 72 years old and was awesome! I really appreciate Justin & his teams help. Thx & I will refer anyone I meet to Justin, Ashley, and Danielle in the future or if I need them again I will call. But again I am truly grateful."

Trustworthy and Responsive Representation

I hired Justin for my divorce and he leveraged his contacts in Cobb county to get our choice of mediator. I got primary custody of my 2 year old daughter and all decision-making authority in all areas. I also got about $1500 in child support per month which includes daycare expense. Justin didn't tur...n my divorce into World War 3 and settled it for something better than I'd get from the Judge. Justin knows my Judge personally as he had a photo with her on his social media so I decided to go with him, and for being a faith-based organization. Thank you Justin and your dynamic team!

A Grateful Father

I usually don't write reviews but I felt it necessary and worth while after receiving such a great experience in an otherwise awful circumstance. Im a single father who wanted to file for a child support modification/ parenting plan revision. This was not the first time dealing with lawyer's for t...his matter and in the past it had not been the greatest outcome, so I was skeptical. I reviewed several lawyers' review sites and met with one (who I was very impressed with) but quite frankly could not afford. Then I met Justin. To be honest, it was Justin's lower fees that initially caught my eye. I had reservations working with him for this reason since in the past Ive thought "you get what you pay for. High priced lawyer= Best outcome" What I would like to say about Justin & Ashley, his paralegal, is that they showed me more professionalism and courtesy than any other attorney I had dealt with prior. My last attorney, who was much more costly, would rarely return calls and I always felt our interactions were rushed. Justin even followed up once a week to simply touch base in case I had further concerns or unanswered questions. As a father I had lots of preconceived notions from my past attorney who warned that "father's need to be grateful for anything they get". Justin was optimistic but more important realistic and didn't get my hopes up. He followed through with what he said he would do when he said he would do it. In the end we got the best possible outcome for my situation and on a personal note he didn't get unprofessional and try to smear my son's mother, or turn us against each other which showed a level of compassion that ultimately left me feeling good about our case. Im glad I took a chance on the "little guy", his expertise and empathy has given my son and I an amazing opportunity.
