Atlanta Divorce Law Group

Focus and practice areas

Atlanta Divorce Law Group works only in family law, and the range within that field is wide. The firm handles divorce, both contested and uncontested, along with child custody, child support, and the division of assets. Spousal support and alimony fall under the same roof.

Beyond the core divorce work, the firm takes on adoption, paternity and legitimation, and marital agreements such as prenuptial and postnuptial contracts. It also handles family violence and restraining order matters, guardianship, and post judgment actions like modifications and appeals. That spread covers most of what a family goes through before, during, and after a separation.

In my opinion, a single subject focus tells you something useful about a firm. The attorneys here spend their days on Georgia family law, not splitting attention across unrelated fields. For a person weighing custody or a division of a marital home, that concentration is worth noting.

How the team is built

The firm names eleven attorneys on its site, and several have backgrounds that reach outside private family practice. Sara Khaki is the founding partner and handles divorce, custody, child support, step-parent adoptions, modifications, and asset division, along with Social Security disability and guardianship matters. Shawna Woods, the managing partner, previously ran a solo family law practice in Fulton County and was a partner at a Forsyth County firm. Earlier in her career she worked under the Special Assistant to the Attorney General for Child Support Enforcement.

Kristyne Seidenberg, a senior litigation attorney, earned her J.D. from Emory University School of Law and also holds a master's degree in counseling psychology and a bachelor's in education. Her work covers contested custody, child support modifications, divorce, and guardianships and conservatorships. That mix of law and counseling training is unusual on a family law roster, and it fits the kind of disputes this firm handles.

Prior courtroom experience

Jim Powers, a senior attorney, attended law school at the University of Georgia and spent five years as an assistant district attorney before moving into family law. He served as a gang and murder prosecutor in Troup County and as a special victims unit prosecutor in Athens-Clarke County. Brannon Byers received his J.D. from Georgia State University College of Law in 2010, where he sat as a Justice on the school's Honor Court. He concentrates on family law, criminal defense, and estate planning, and belongs to the Atlanta Bar Association.

Other named attorneys include senior attorneys Maya Jeanpierre, who attended John Marshall Law School in Atlanta, and Maria Keller. The firm also lists Kristi Gibbs, Ph.D., Brianna Lucas, Lyndsi Adams, and Jessica Nixon among its attorneys.Lucas has been named in a peer-reviewed attorney rating publication for her work in commercial litigation. Paralegals and legal assistants round out the support staff.

What the credentials suggest

The law schools represented here include Emory, the University of Georgia, Georgia State, and John Marshall. A few attorneys came from prosecution or child support enforcement roles before turning to private family work. As a reviewer, I read that pattern as a team that has seen family disputes from more than one side of a courtroom.

Where the firm works

Atlanta Divorce Law Group keeps three offices. The main office is in Alpharetta, with additional locations in Atlanta and in the Buckhead area of the city. The three points cover the northern arc of metro Atlanta and the urban core.

The firm lists service across several Georgia counties: Cherokee, Cobb, DeKalb, Forsyth, Fulton, and Gwinnett. That footprint takes in the suburbs north of Atlanta and the city itself. For a family matter that must be filed in a specific county, having offices spread across the metro area is a practical convenience.

The Happily Ever After Divorce approach

The firm describes its work through what it calls a Happily Ever After Divorce approach. It presents this as treating divorce as a restructuring of the family, with attention to what the household looks like after the case closes. The phrase runs through the home and about pages as the firm's stated way of framing the process.

The firm also puts real effort into material outside the courtroom. It produces a podcast under the same Happily Ever After Divorce name, and it offers guides, webinars, and a support group for people going through divorce and custody matters. That content is aimed at clients who want to understand the process before they are deep inside it.

In my opinion, the resources say something about how the firm wants to be met. A support group and a set of guides point toward clients who are trying to make sense of a hard transition, not only to win a filing. Whether that framing matches a given person's situation is an individual call, and the substance behind it is the family law work the attorneys do day to day.

What the record shows

The public information here is strongest on team and scope. Eleven named attorneys, several with stated law schools and prior roles, give a clear picture of who does the work. The practice area list is detailed, and the county coverage is spelled out plainly.

Some details are simply not published. The firm does not state a founding year, and it does not name a formal legal entity. Those gaps do not change what the site does document, which is a family law firm with three offices, a defined service area across metro Atlanta, and a roster of attorneys who work in one field. For a prospective client sorting Georgia family lawyers, that is a solid base of verifiable facts to start from.
