I am extremely glad that I chose her because my daughter is finally living with me. We were both extremely grateful that she was willing to take our case with all of these child support and custodial issues. Before my daughter and I became her clients, we thought we had a very good and strong representation from a very big, powerful, and reputable law firm that was pretty well known in the area. However, after thousands of dollars and 12 months of waiting, we found ourselves very disappointed. I was on a hunt for an exceptional lawyer to move our case forward yet again. That exceptional lawyer we were looking for turned out to be Ms. Cherry. She is a superb lawyer with a superb team. Ms. Cherry and her team (Ms. McKenzie and Ms. Hutchinson) are always on top of everything. They moved our case forward at the speed of light while keeping us up to date with what's going on and making sure we understand every step. Most importantly, they have an outstanding reputation and relationships in the law community, including the judges. After 5 and a half months with her team my daughter is not only living with me, but she is also in a new and better school district. She had finally returned to the happy and worry free kid that she used to be. I am telling you as a parent: no amount of money can buy that feeling and happiness of seeing your child light up with joy. I could also feel that Ms. Cherry was not in it for the money like many other lawyers. I am currently in a very tough financial situation, I am a recipient of SSDI, and her team knows that. They are very conscious of your financial capabilities and I am sure I was underpaying her team for the results we were getting. One thing Ms. Cherry told me that I will never forget is that I did not need a male attorney, but a good attorney, and that is so true. If you are looking for a professional, focused, knowledgeable, confident, experience, caring and friendly lawyer, Ms. Cherry is an obvious choice. And believe me when I say that because I have had my share of different attorneys. With that being said, I would like to say thank you to Ms. Cherry and her wonderful team. My daughter and I will always be grateful for everything you have done for us.

In my case, I had made a big error 2 years ago: signed a divorce settlement agreement, without getting reviewed by a lawyer.

But she also showed empathy towards me and felt my pain for not receiving a fair share of the financial burden from my ex-wife. I would recommend her to anyone in need of a knowledgeable divorce attorney in the state of Georgia.

I can't recommend Cheryl and her staff highly enough. They are incredible legal advocates!…read more At the beginning of my case, my process server told me Cheryl was a "pit bull" in the courtroom--and he was absolutely right. She won every legal argument, even when the odds were stacked against me. My ex hired five or six different sets of attorneys throughout the case, and Cheryl outmatched every one of them. Thanks to Cheryl and her team, I was awarded primary custody of my child, the house, retirement assets, and child support. Based on how the case was going, I probably could have pursued alimony as well. And just so everyone knows--I'm the husband! That makes these results even more remarkable. Cheryl also did an outstanding job representing my stepdaughter in her case when the odds were stacked against her, too. I absolutely love Cheryl, Liz, and the entire team. They are powerful, effective, compassionate, and worth every dollar--and then some. If you want attorneys who will fight for you and deliver results, this is the team to hire. Thank you, Cheryl! --Michael H. (Ha! Cheryl definitely knows who I am!)

I would not recommend hiring an attorney who tells opposing counsel that she's "confused" and advises her clients to accept less money than the court has awarded.

PAY ATTENTION TO THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS OF ELAINE LEVINE TO SAVE YOURSELF ANGUISH, TIME AND MONEY…read more Please take the time to read this to save yourself from needing to pay again for a different attorney. As a doctor speaking, I rarely give negative reviews to other professionals. In researching an attorney to prepare our wills and trusts, I did read the one negative review for this attorney prior to hiring her and brushed it over. It ended up being a perfect synopsis of our time with Elaine. (Most positive reviews for this firm are for her partner, whom we never met). Let me explain our circumstances. We hired Elaine Levine to prepare trusts and wills for out family. Initially, Elaine was courteous and did exactly what she said she would do. She was friendly, supportive and very easy to reach. She responded well to our numerous questions in a timely and efficient/effective manner. UNTIL she wasn't present for the final signing and we were rushed through the process. Witnesses were present and signed each document PRIOR to any reviews or signatures on our part as they were "in a hurry". We raised objections but they were quickly dismissed. We asked for detailed explainations of each document we were signing and felt very rushed. The final wills were never presented for review. We were told by the person filling in (?who she was, she introduced herself once but we never got a clear understanding, ? think she was some kind of assistant) near the conclusion of the meeting that she was in a hurry and needed to go to pick up her kids! Elaine was sick, but had been sick over a week. The practice clearly had time to notify us to reschedule. All for naught; we wasted $3,500 on USELESS wills and trusts that need to be redone by a special needs attorney for our son's special needs trust. Elaine was very well aware that we needed a special needs trust from the beginning and she (copiously) informed us she was NOT a special needs attorney. However, we had no idea of the implications of this (special needs attorney should always be seen FIRST to avoid wasting your time and money). We felt abandoned after our final meeting and then the relationship with Elaine turned hostile when we confronted her with the situation regarding her having to have KNOWN that the special needs trusts need to be done FIRST. Despite our reaching out regarding changes of beneficiaries not going througg and a request to review a brief 2 paragraph letter to family explaining what the documents were, we were rudely rebuffed by Elaine that her services had been concluded. The percentages of distribution to our non-special needs children in the conduit trust was INCORRECT. When we tried to rectify this, we were told in no uncertain terms that our relationship was now "concluded" (ie, payment had been received, I assume) - leaving us with INCORRECT, useless documents. Would definately NOT RECOMMEND Elaine Levine!!!! I should add that a while after everything was completed (we thought), an associate in her office reviewed our file and reached out to say a part of the paperwork was never received. This paperwork was mailed to us and when I called back for further instructions, Elaine got one the phone and was exceptionally rude, stating that since she read my review on line and knew how I felt about her, she wouldn't be helping us any longer and that we could just keep the unsigned paperwork her office sent. She made it clear that she had NO INTENTION of completing our file. She made sure all communication thereafter was terminated. HORRIBLE PROFESSIONALISM!!!!!!! What a waste of time and money!!!! Sickening.

Before I retained them, I specifically asked about the cost, and I was told it would not exceed $7,000.

Because of this excessive and unexpected billing, I had no choice but to terminate their services. The lack of transparency and disregard for their own estimate is extremely disappointing. If you ever encounter unfair billing practices like this, remember that you can file a complaint directly with the State Bar of Georgia

OVERBILLED AND WAY UNDERSERVED!!…read more The consultation with Zazie went amazingly well, she gets the one star here. Zazie was very kind, compassionate and knowledgeable. I was referred to Emily Harris as an attorney, and she agreed to take the case on a $6000 retainer. With one additional phone call, one day showing up in court and travel time, she spent over $7000. It was almost $300 additional to just "close the case", which was billed 5 days AFTER I receive an email that the case was closed. Emily Harris showed up to court with nothing more than a purse and a pair of pants with a hole right on the seam of the back. She didn't suggest we even move to a private area to talk more about strategy, but talked openly in the hall where everyone could hear, not that she said much, other than it was open and shut and we should win and be done quickly. Then she went off to talk to others, and when she came back, she did a lot of shrugging, wouldn't even present my side of the story, just suggested that "it's not going to go your way" and to sign away rights. I feel like the fees are exorbitant, the service at the office end is adequate, but this particular lawyer couldn't have cared less, and was unprofessional in appearance, performance and attitude.
