Atlanta Divorce Law Group

This group of Attorneys took advantage of me financially and my family in a way that caused irreparable damage to my children. Their number one concern is money. Do not let them lull you into a false sense of comfort because they are "female" and "care about you during this unfortunate time." They will bill you incessantly without ever moving your case forward. They sent an attorney to mediate my case that I had never met. She had not reviewed my case prior to showing up and admitted that she needed time to brush up (five min before mediation). This is after Jeanette Solstys agreed to represent me. I communicated with her through the entire case, fully expecting her to show up to mediation only to be told THE DAY OF that her associate would do just as good a job. Apparently she had something more important she needed to schedule at the last minute. They ALSO dropped the ball on the mediator, who was supposed to be determined by them. Instead we went with the one my ex husbands attorney arranged with the assurance that "he seems fine" since the one they arranged didn't show up (because they never even scheduled it). I felt pressure to accept a agreement I was not comfortable with because I didn't trust my attorney to fight for me in court, and after the fleecing they gave me, I couldn't afford to start from scratch with a new one. Since my case was finalized I've been told by countless attorneys, friends, and judges that the "deal" they arranged for me and my children was a travesty. I've heard more than once that "you really got screwed by your attorney." Thank you ADLG for taking the savings of a scared, vulnerable, single mother who thought she was in the hands of caring, professional, female attorneys. On a side note: many of their five star reviews are posted by individuals who share no personal experience with this firm, which seem suspect. Reviews are meant to give customers a clear picture of their experiences patronizing a business, not a clear picture of how many friends they have that have posted reviews about how they know them personally and professionally and recommend them to everyone they know.

***UPDATE*** ALDG posted a response to my review soliciting more business. I think I will pass on the "free phone call." I'm not sure what part of a different attorney showing up to represent me was a "misunderstanding of the mediation process." I hired a competent attorney for $5k and I now have custody of my children. Unfortunately the damage to the financial agreement couldn't be reversed. I hope this review gives anyone considering using this firm a reason to rethink.

***UPDATE*** They removed my review from their main Facebook page because I was being contacted by women via FB who were also taken advantage of by this firm. BEWARE.

Jennifer, We did NOT remove your review from our main Facebook page as we do not have that authority. Our initial response to you 2 years ago was not in an attempt to "solicit more business" as we offered you a complimentary call with our firm to hear more details surrounding your concerns . We genuinely appreciate and welcome all feedback so we can continue to better our firm. Unfortunately, you declined that offer so we cannot address your specific concerns with your specific case details. If you happen to change your mind, please feel free to reach out to our firm and we would be happy to get you scheduled with a complimentary phone call with our Managing Partner to discuss further. Thank you. Hi Jennifer, I'm so sorry to hear about your negative experience with our firm. This is not what we want for our clients. If you are having problems with your settlement agreement, there may be a number of things we can do to help. In addition, it appears there may have been a misunderstanding about a couple of items including the mediation process. We would love to offer you a no charge phone call so we can resolve the issues you have raised.

Everything about the Atlanta Divorce Law Group has been Awesome. From the time I walked into the firm not knowing where to begin the firm ensured me I had nothing to fear or worry about. They were with me every step of the way. Being that this was my first marriage the firm made everything easy for me and took care of everything. I can not say enough about the team here. Communication is key with them and they make you feel like family and they truly understand how to get you through this process. I truly want to say Thank You to everyone I came into contact with and to let everyone know that you are Great and what you do.

Allen is hands down one of the best attorneys in family law. He is a bulldog in the courtroom and compassionate towards his clients. I would recommend him to anyone going through a divorce or custody action. He is very knowledgeable, and well respected within the legal community.

Thanks again for everything, Allen!

I found my legal team to be knowledgeable, courteous, respectful, and absolute advocates for me and my case. I give ADLG my highest possible recommendation. The team was a pleasure to work with.

Thank you so much for your kind words Damien! We are so happy our team was able to assist you.

I have never been more disappointed with a service. These people did not take the time to study my case. I ended up with a parenting plan that is not in the interest of my children. It was a wasted of time and money. Please avoid this place. My children are paying the cost. I'm forced to go to court to have their idiotic parenting plan revised.
