North Georgia Family Lawyers and Legal Defense, LLC is the firm for you.

We’re a litigation-driven, client-centered law firm committed to delivering exceptional results. Our cases are real, clients are passionate, and our courtrooms are active. We fight smart and win with strategy. We are an entrepreneurial family law and property litigation firm that is on track for aggressive growth.

We're looking for experienced trial attorneys to join our team and collaborate closely with the owner, fellow attorneys, and support staff to drive impactful results, helping both clients and team members build stronger, brighter futures.

If you’re looking for a place to grow your skills, get mentored by seasoned litigators, and have  your voice heard , this is it.

Our mission is to be known for guiding clients through one of the most emotional chapters of their lives—and helping them emerge stronger, more empowered, and confident that they had a team who truly cared and fiercely advocated for them.
