Our No. 1 priority is to keep you out of jail. Our second priority is to avoid a conviction and otherwise protect your "record".

Divorce, custody cases, spousal and child support issues are complicated legal procedures.
Services
No-Fault In a no-fault divorce, neither party must prove the other engaged in wrongdoing. A no-fault divorce can be granted when the marriage being irretrievably broken or there are irreconcilable differences. Most people are not familiar with the specifics of spousal support. Things like alimony and palimony can be affected by a range of factors.
It is tempting to try to handle common legal matters on your own. In the case of wills and probate this can be a big mistake. The cheapest option isn't always best, and often leaves important issues unaddressed or structured improperly. Will and probate attorneys focus on issues associated with wills, disputes, and the process of distributing a deceased persons property.

I don't know what Travis and Deborah are talking about. I have called eight attorneys today from Gainesville to Athens and the only one that remotely gave me time of day was Vandiver and Kaufman. You can tell attorneys are very busy people. Some of them told me I had to come into their office for them to talk to me (which is understandable), some of them told me they didn't offer the services I was needing, some of them quoted me outrageous prices, some of them couldn't help me and needed to have an attorney call me back (also understandable). When I called Vandiver and Kaufman I spoke with a receptionist

Should have listened to the review I read on here. Called to try to get some advice and the lady answering the phones couldn’t have been anymore rude. Did refer me to another attorney though.

Rude and arrogant. I am appalled at how I was talked to and treated by the administration answering the phone. She represents the firm and provides the first impression. My first impression is so bad I would never consider doing business with this firm.
