I was born and raised in Atlanta.  After graduating from Georgia State Law School, I began my 5-year career as an Assistant District Attorney.  The first 3 years were in the Coweta judicial circuit where I handled cases in Carroll, Coweta, Heard, Meriwether and Troup Counties.  In 2004, I began my two years as an Assistant District Attorney in Cobb County. During my years as an attorney, I have handled over 1,000 criminal cases. I have successfully tried over 40 jury trials to verdict- from Murders to White Collar Crimes to DUI and Drug Trials. I have the experience of over 100 probation revocation hearings, motions to suppress and bond hearings. I have also written several criminal defense appeals..

I was admitted to the Georgia Bar in 1997, and not long after I was accepted to the bar I focused all of my efforts on representing clients in divorce and other family law related matters. My years of work as an attorney have allowed me to successfully counsel and represent clients in all types of divorce and domestic relations cases, and as a result of that  experience I understand what it takes to obtain the best results for clients. I have also undergone training as a mediator, a guardian ad litem, and in collaborative law, and I regularly utilize all of those skills in the representation of clients.. My years of practice as a divorce lawyer also lead me to join a group of like-minded attorneys focused on practice in the areas of divorce and family law.  I am a partner at the divorce law firm of Meriwether & Tharp, LLC, where our goal is to provide clients with skilled legal representation they need to successfully resolve issues relating to divorce and other difficult family law legal matters.  Every Member of the Meriwether & Tharp team assists clients in the areas of divorce and family law, and as a firm we routinely handle matters related to divorce, child support and child custody, enforcement of existing orders (i.e. contempt actions), preparation of pre- and postnuptial agreements, separation agreements, family violence, juvenile law, adoption, and any and all other family law related matters.    Divorce and other family matters can be very stressful, and we have the skill and experience needed to provide our clients with the settlement-focused representation they require in their time of need.  Emotions can run high in these types of cases, but that does not mean that a divorce must be "nasty."  It is always our goal to avoid unnecessary litigation, and we approach and handle every case with a high level of professionalism that clients have a right to expect from lawyers.  We believe that strong representation does not require unreasonably litigious behavior. Settlement is very often the best, most cost-effective option, but if settlement is not possible you need an attorney and a law firm that is best prepared to stand before a judge and fight for you.  Meriwether & Tharp is that firm.

I want to make the difficult time in my client's life as comfortable as possible.  My practice is primarily focused on bankruptcy law. I started my own firm to give the client's personal service they deserve.. I went into bankruptcy law because  everyone deserves a second chance to get their life on track.  Bankruptcy is a great fit for me because there is a lot of interaction between the attorney and the client.. I graduated law school from Oklahoma City University in the top 25% of my glass.  I received my undergraduate degree in Criminology and Criminal Justice from the University of Texas at Arlington, graduating Magna Cum Laude.

I treat your case like it was my own case.

Recently I obtained a defendants' verdict for my clients in a four-week jury trial involving claims of accounting fraud, breach of fiduciary duty and RICO. While I love trying cases, I have succeeded in reaching many favorable confidential settlements for my clients.

I received my law degree from the University of Alabama School of Law in 1994 and was admitted to practice law in Alabama in September 1994 and in Georgia in 2008.  After practicing for several years with a national plaintiff's law firm, I took the vast knowledge gained there and began my solo law practice in 1998.. Today, my firm is nationally recognized as one that is small, yet aggressive and tirelessly committed to upholding the rights of and seeking justice for those who are injured or are victims of wrongful death by negligence. I represent plaintiffs in lawsuits arising from car accidents, truck accidents, medical malpractice and insurance fraud as well as assisting injured employees with workers' compensation claims.  I also serve clients who need criminal defense representation in both felony and misdemeanor cases, as well as those who require business and corporate law services including civil litigation, employment law, procurement, contracts, corporate governance and formation and more.. I have always believed that the law is the greatest weapon against tyranny and injustice.  Injustice is like a deep sea of water that, if not contained, will eventually erode a society's values and morals.  In keeping with this belief, I seek justice and the fair application of the law in every case I am privileged to litigate on the behalf of my clients.  Each case deserves considerable attention and appreciation to meet its unique challenges and must be vigorously pursued to a fair conclusion no matter how much time and effort that requires.

I provide legal counsel to small and medium-sized businesses on a variety of corporate and transactional matters, including business and corporate representation, entity structuring, incentive plans, licensing agreements, employment law and related agreements, trademark and copyright clearance and related registration..

I also have significant experience in general civil litigation, having represented companies and insurers across Georgia in commercial disputes, personal injury and product liability claims, coverage disputes, and claims under uninsured motorist policies.

I love what I do for a living - helping others in their greatest time of need. I like to ensure that those who have done wrong are held accountable for their actions.

I love being a lawyer and fight hard to  get justice for my clients.  I am a trial lawyer and prepare each case as if it were going to trial.  Most cases do not have to go to trial as a favorable plea bargain is often reached, but I am always prepared for litigation so my clients can get the best possible outcomes in their cases.

I live and practice in Buckhead and love being in Atlanta.  I practice estate planning because I love to help my clients plan for their future and gain peace of mind knowing their families will be taken care of if anything were to happen to them..

I like to assist my clients by delivering expert advice and identifying practical options for them to achieve their goals. I think it is important to clearly set out the legal principles, the options available, and provide guidance to my clients so that they can make informed decisions. My approach is collaborative and organised, with the focus on achieving results.

I knew at an early age that I wanted to help people, but I did not quite know how I could do that. I wasn’t particularly good at building things, and I didn’t feel like I’d make a very good police officer or firefighter. During my teenage years, a friend was wrongfully accused of something. The details don’t matter, but it triggered something in me. I wanted to fight for my friend. I needed to stand up for him and fight this injustice. I argued, advocated, and changed the minds of his accusers. It helped my friend and the experience helped me understand what brings me my deep gladness. Fighting to get justice for others.. And the world has a deep need for justice. Throughout my legal career, I’ve represented families and individuals who have been hurt by other people, healthcare organizations or corporations. And as the child of immigrants who fled Cuba for a country that valued justice and equality for all, I have a strong appreciation for our system of justice and the Constitutional right to a trial by jury. Fighting for my clients’ rights is something I care deeply about, and it is my honor to represent those who feel that they are powerless against insurance companies, healthcare providers and big corporations.. At The Pérez Law Firm, we have experience getting justice for the injured. Let us do that for you.

I help companies hire and retain top talent using carefully-crafted ERISA/tax-qualified employee benefit plans and executive compensation plans.  I also help companies resolve different compliance issues in their employee benefit plans before the IRS and the U.S. Department of Labor.  Finally, I help companies resolve independent contractor issues before the IRS, U.S. Department of Labor, and the Georgia Department of Labor.

I have spent my entire legal career representing clients in intellectual property litigation. I have represented clients through every stage of litigation, from performing pre-suit evaluations, initiating suits, and aggressively pursuing discovery, to summary judgment, mediation, and trial on the merits. I have represented clients in utility and design patent infringement, trade dress infringement, and trademark infringement litigations as well as in proceedings before the International Trade Commission.. Prior to working as an IP litigator, I earned a Master’s of Science from the University of Texas for my research in inherited eye diseases. I also worked at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in the pediatric genetics department, where I studied familial cancers.  Although my personal interests focus on the life sciences, I have worked on a wide range of technologies, including video surveillance, cooking devices, hard disk drives, LCDs, networking, paper-making, communications, pasteurization, and vaccination-related technologies.

I have the experience to help you with your family law matter. The first thing I do is listen.  I want to hear you say what is your problem, and what is important to you.  Upon speaking with me, we can determine your main objective and the best way to achieve the goal.  There is no reason to go nuclear when a precision attack will yield the required objective.  I am married with three children.  I am aware of family dynamics, and reality of how parents interact with each other and children.  I enjoy making barbeque, and making old world sausauge and brats.  If you would ask me what is may favorite store, I would say Cabelas and Bass Pro.

I have successfully represented victims of medical malpractice and nursing home abuse for over 20 years. I used to represent physicans and hospitals and thus have insight into how cases are defended that many lawyers don't have. We seek to treat our clients as if they are our family members and will seek to do the same with you. We try cases and I recently obtained a 4 million dollar verdict for a cient in a surgical malpractice case. We have recovered millions of dollars in settlemnts and verdicts and will work hard for you and your family. I am also a Past President of the Georgia Trial Lawyers Association and serve on the Disciplinary Rules Committee of the State Bar.

I have practiced law for almost 20 years although it does not seem that long.  I have chosen my practice areas in indigent criminal defense, education law, and now workers' compensation because all have allowed me to work for an individual.  I enjoy the connection with a live person for whom I can advocate.  I like to get to know the person I respresent.  My clients are more than mere case numbers.  I am more effective if I can empathize with and understand the individuals for whom I argue.. Becoming a lawyer was never the ultimate goal.  It has always been a means to an end. It is a way in which I can use my expertise to help people maneuver their way through an otherwise confusing and complicated legal system in order to invoke rights or request redress.. I spend my spare time with my husband and two energetic sons.  We enjoy travelling the world together and exploring new places, but in many ways, every day is an adventure.  There are very few dull moments in my life, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
