I have also interviewed and had meetings with several in the Canton / Alpharetta Georgia area. I can easily tell which attorneys have a line of 'BS" vs those who are honest, willing to help and offer solid advice. Without a doubt Ms Sara White is a true rare find. She and her office replied almost immediately to our requests. It was followed up with reminder emails. Once my wife and I met Ms White in person it was a good meeting taking care of some estate legal matters. Everything was well organized and the meet went flawlessly. She also took the time to look at a document that was deficient in a writing several years prior. Immediately we had her redo the important documents and set up an additional meeting. Without a doubt.. you do your homework , but do not be fooled by these high cost estate attorneys who want a crazy amount of money for the services and almost scare one into what they are selling. For us we did our homework. Some would not even discuss the fairly new 'Transfer of Death Deeds" and were they even knowledgeable about it, probably because it did not bring them thousands of dollars into the law firms business. We "highly" recommend Ms White for her honest services at a reasonable price! We assure you we have tried others but they dont come close to what she offers her clients. A breath of fresh air with our estate needs. We have already passed . on her information to our adult kids and sports partner players.

Stephanie guided us through the trust and estate planning process with exceptional care, providing thoughtful, detailed answers to every question we had along the way.

We left the experience feeling confident, informed, and truly supported.

1 Star -- Extremely Disappointed…read more I hired this attorney to handle the probate of my mother and father. He was paid in full before providing services--something I now consider a major red flag. My father's probate was filed on July 2, 2025. After my mother's probate was completed and her Letters of Administration were published beginning March 18, 2026, I repeatedly contacted the attorney by text and email asking about my father's case. Getting answers was extremely difficult. I eventually contacted the probate clerk myself and discovered that documents were missing and the court had already mailed my attorney a letter notifying him of the missing documents. I ultimately received my father's Letters of Administration to publish beginning July 1, 2026--nearly a year after the case was filed. This delay had a real financial impact. I could not get the deed transferred into my name in time to apply for the homestead exemption before the deadline. When I questioned the attorney about the delay, his response was: "No time tables at all with probate. They take their sweet time." I understand that courts have their own timelines. What I expected from the attorney I paid in full was to monitor the case, address outstanding documents, communicate with me, and keep the process moving. Instead, I had to repeatedly chase him for updates and ultimately contact the court myself to find out what was happening. Probate is already difficult when you're dealing with the loss of both parents. Having to fight for basic communication from the attorney I hired only made it worse. In hindsight, paying the entire fee upfront should have been my first red flag. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this attorney for probate.

After months of tireless search for a credible attorney in the state of Georgia, one whose…read moreknowledge includes small business startup and registered agents, I found Attorney Lerae Funderburg. As a branding agent, I wanted to provide my client with the services he deserved-given that this would be his first big endeavor in this area. After my initial contact, Attorney Funderburg immediately responded to my email and within seconds, we arranged a 15 mins phone conference to discuss my client's needs and ways in which she would be able to assist. Our business officially started on September 18 and less than a month later, we had a registered business and a registered agent-Attorney Funderburg- who readily made herself available to answer all business inquires and calls-even while on vacation. This past week, my client and I sat down with Attorney Funderburg for a meeting, beyond the standard email and phone conversations, and let's just say that her warmth, attention to details, drive, commitment, and compassion for clients showed from her greeting to the very end of the face-to-face meeting. On behalf of my client and I, we highly recommend the services offered by Attorney Funderburg, to any small business owner desiring quality service and attention to your startup needs. Thank you, Attorney Funderburg, this is only the beginning of a budding business relationship and we indeed look forward to conducting more business transactions with your firm.

I would not recommend anyone engage with this firm thanks to Elaine Levine. She was incredibly rude…read moreand disrespectful with me as I tried to share with her a sensitive legal matter regarding a deceased family member. She repeatedly cut me off as I was talking, asking questions with roughness which I would have shared if she just let me talk. I never even got to state my request. She was so insensitive and I can't believe this is someone that works in family law.

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.

The law office uses the Calendy scheduling software, so I received no less than 15 reminder notifications on every digital platform possible leading up to the call, which was about a month out. The day of the appointment, I received a voice message at 11:49am regarding the 12 noon appointment during which Kathleen left instructions for me to call back if I still needed services. 11 minutes early? That was off-putting but nonetheless, I call back immediately, which is now 11:51. I am told by the receptionist that she stepped away from the office. Yup, gone in 2 minutes. This is a very poor experience since I purposely made myself available for this call which should have occurred at 12noon, per the 15 different notifications I received since I signed up for the call. I've never had a professional call me in advance of the call and then make themselves unavailable for the actual call time. I waited almost a month for this call and could have found another law firm during this time. Don't offer services that you don't actually wish to perform. So now I'm using our actual meeting time to write reviews. Screenshots attached.

Unresponsive Office Cost Me Money, Refused to Make It Right…read more I hired Brian M. Douglas and Associates LLC for my December 2025 real estate closing. The experience has been the worst I've had with any professional service. The Problem: My mortgage company, myself, and others sent advance notice about an incoming wire requiring verification, with a strict deadline I needed to meet for employer relocation reimbursement. Multiple follow-ups were sent to the office. For 1.5 days (Dec 11-12), multiple financial professionals couldn't reach the office to verify the wire: Goldman Sachs (my bank) - repeatedly told staff weren't available LPL Financial (my wealth manager) - same response Mortgage company - multiple attempts Me - ignored then told office "closed early" I was later informed that staff were working during these attempts. The office had already verified a prior wire successfully, so this was a routine task the team had done before. The Cost: I missed my December 12th deadline and incurred significant relocation-related costs as a direct result. The irony? After my deadline passed, I wired a much larger amount for closing and the office verified it immediately. My Good Faith Efforts to Resolve: I tried multiple times to work with them professionally: Initially attempted to communicate directly with the office to resolve the matter without formal demands When that failed, sent a certified demand letter requesting reimbursement for the costs I incurred due to their negligence When the first letter was returned due to addressing error, I paid for overnight delivery with signature confirmation Gave them clear options: reimbursement or insurance information The office signed for the letter on January 8, 2026 The Response: ZERO. No call, no email, no acknowledgment whatsoever. Complete silence despite multiple opportunities to resolve this professionally. Action Taken: Due to their complete lack of response and professional accountability, I have filed a formal complaint with the State Bar of Georgia. Bottom Line: Unprofessional, unresponsive, and unwilling to take accountability for mistakes. Cost me real money and won't even respond when given multiple chances to make it right. Complete lack of professional integrity. Avoid.
