Affordable Attorneys at Law

When suddenly faced with a legal challenge, you may think you cannot afford an attorney and therefore go it alone. This rarely results in a good outcome. So, when your entire future rests with an unfamiliar judge or jury you must ask yourself: Can you afford not to hire an attorney? A well-spoken and prepared attorney experienced in legal procedure is your best chance of success and that costs far less in the end.

Court rulings impact your life and the lives of your children and family. The intelligent choice is to call or click on our contact form for an immediate consultation with a local lawyer.

Divorce and Family Law

Divorce and family lawyers achieve the best results when a strategy is carefully considered in advance of filing for divorce. Divorce planning is even more important when the custody of children is at stake. Let’s identify and discuss your options before you mention divorce to others.

At Patterson Moore Butler we offer the following three options for filing divorce in Georgia.

  1. A contested divorce is a path to resolution when spouses cannot agree on terms such as child custody or asset and debt division.
  2. An uncontested divorce is best when both spouses agree on all terms of the divorce and simply need a qualified attorney to prepare and file the paperwork with the court.
  3. An amicable divorce is ideal when the parties cannot agree on the terms of divorce but seek to avoid a bitter and public litigation.

Learn more about the differences between contested, uncontested, and amicable divorces on our page for divorce.

Criminal Defense & DUI Attorneys

You will need the best criminal defense lawyer available quickly as possible after you have been charged with domestic violence, DUI, drug possession or any other felony or misdemeanor. The sooner we begin investigating the case the better the outcome, such as reduced charges or possibly negotiating the dismissal of criminal charges.

Mediation Attorneys

An efficient and cost-effective alternative to court proceedings, mediation is a process of reaching a binding resolution in a private setting. A mediator, selected in advance by the attorneys representing the parties in dispute, meets and negotiates with each side privately until mutually beneficial terms for a permanent and binding resolution are achieved. The mediation process is concluded in a matter of hours or days versus months or even years as with traditional court proceedings.

Estate Planning

Estate planning is essential to protecting your beneficiaries and assets upon your passing. A properly prepared will and/or trust allows you, rather than the courts, to specify who raises your children and how your assets are distributed. If you’ve had more than one spouse or children from more than one family, creating a will is even more vital. Also, estate taxes and state inheritance taxes can be minimized and potentially eliminated through an estate plan. Learn more about estate planning, wills and trusts on our estate planning page.

Probate

Whereas estate planning deals with the preparation of a will before death, probate is the process of proving the validity of a will and settling debts and assets after death. Our skilled probate attorneys, familiar with the local probate process and constantly changing tax laws, will expedite the probate process, eliminate fees, shield you from liability and handle any disputes with beneficiaries, family members and debtors.
