I appreciate your team's sensitivity during this difficult time and responsiveness to my sometimes emotional calls. I am grateful for the team's help in coming up with a settlement agreement and modifying it according to my husband's counterproposal. And I am very happy that we could conclude all of this without going to mediation.

Client reviews
What clients say
My only regret is that I didn't hire Regina at the beginning of my divorce process.
Ms. Edwards would drop whatever she was doing to take my calls, as she knew I had limited opportunity to use the phone in a war zone. She negotiated a fair settlement and got me visitation with my children.

Questions
Common questions about divorce in Georgia
Do we have to go to court?
Not always. Many divorces in Georgia end in a signed settlement, often after mediation, which the court then approves. When the other side will not agree, the judge decides, and the case is prepared for that from the start.
How does the flat fee work?
The fee for your case is discussed and agreed in the consultation, before Edwards Family Law starts work. You know the full fee in advance, and calls to your attorney are not billed extra.
Can alimony be changed later?
Periodic alimony can be changed when either spouse's income or financial situation has changed substantially since the order. Lump-sum alimony generally cannot. Regina tells you what applies to your order.
How does the first consultation work?
You call (770) 854-0777 or send the form, and we set a time for the consultation. It stays confidential, even if you do not hire the firm. You describe what is happening, Regina explains how Georgia law applies, and the fee is agreed before any work starts.
