Atlanta Family Law Attorney - The Manely Firm, P.C.

Family Law

"I had other counsel working with me on my child custody case. He wasn’t pushing my case forward, wasn’t responsive to opposing counsel, and left me standing before the judge in a hearing without counsel. I dismissed him and went to Michael for help. Michael took my case and pushed it forward despite the delay tactics employed by opposing counsel. During a discussion with my neighbor, I discovered that opposing counsel’s strategy to win cases is to intimidate and delay in an effort to emotionally and financially devastate you and force you to drop or settle. Michael was steadfast in moving my case forward and presented my case to the judge with meticulously documented support. Michael and his staff did a great job and were very responsive in my case. I highly recommend Michael and his firm."

Cynthia Caldwell
Former Client

“Family conflicts present the most emotionally charged and most personally and financially damaging legal battles. Everything, including your and your children’s psychological well-being and financial security, is often at stake. I take tremendous pride in bringing every resource I have to bear on liberating families from dysfunction and opening the door to a new and brighter future.”
