Buckhead Family Law: Atlanta and Marietta Family Law From a Lawyer Who Started in Corporate Litigation

By Expert Attorneys

Buckhead Family Law is an Atlanta family law firm handling divorce and related domestic-relations matters throughout Atlanta and Fulton, Cobb, DeKalb, Gwinnett, and Forsyth counties. Founder and principal attorney Melissa Davis has practiced family law at Atlanta firms since 2006, after beginning her career as a corporate litigation attorney at Powell Goldstein, where she handled class action, product liability, and pharmaceutical cases in state and federal courts. Associate Malone W. Allen also practices with the firm.

The docket includes contested, uncontested, collaborative, high-net-worth, and military divorce, along with child custody, child support, alimony, property division, prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, paternity and legitimation, contempt, protective orders, grandparent visitation, and appeals. Legitimation is a Georgia proceeding used to establish a father's legal rights, which is a different filing from a paternity case in some other states. Collaborative and military divorce are also part of the same boutique practice.

The firm offers mediation and collaborative options alongside courtroom litigation and works to protect family relationships both during and after a case. It keeps offices at 3017 Bolling Way NE, First Floor, in Atlanta, and at 222 Cherokee Street, Suite 100, Marietta, GA 30060. Both offices share the telephone number 404-390-0000.

A high-net-worth property division, a legitimation filing, and a later contempt or modification action can all be handled from either the Buckhead or Marietta office. That path — corporate litigation first, then family law in Atlanta since 2006, now with a second office in Marietta — is the structure of the practice.

Grandparent visitation and appeals are part of the domestic-relations docket, not only an initial divorce or custody filing. Protective orders and contempt proceedings are taken when a case has already produced an order that is not being followed, or when a client needs immediate court protection.

Alimony and property division in a high-net-worth or military divorce are handled in the same boutique practice as an uncontested filing or a collaborative case, so a client is not sent elsewhere when the issues become more complex.
