I pride myself on being a very compassionate attorney who is capable of tending to all of my clients' Family Law matters.  I help people with all kinds of family law cases: divorce, modification of custody or child support, enforcement of prior orders (also called contempts), adoption, and legitimation/ paternity cases (where the parties were never married but they have a dispute over their children).. I am committed to helping my local community.  I created the Family Law Information Class taught at the Gwinnett Justice and Administration Center in partnership with Gwinnett Legal Aid in 2015.  This class was created to help people represent themselves in a family law case, because I know that attorneys are expensive, and not everyone can afford them.  I still help teach the class.   I am a frequent speaker at continuing legal education seminars - helping teach my fellow attorney's - for family law matters. I was appointed by the Supreme Court of Georgia as a mentor for new attorneys through the Transition into Law Practice Program.   In 2014, I was awarded the Volunteer of the Year Award from the Atlanta Legal Aid Society for my work with the Gwinnett Pro Bono Project and Gwinnett Legal Aid.  In 2015, I was selected to participate in the Georgia Association of Women Lawyers (GAWL) Leadership Academy Class.  In 2017, I was recognized by Atlanta Legal Aid for providing more than 50 pro bono hours to the Gwinnett Pro Bono Project, which is part of Atlanta Legal Aid.  I was the President of the Gwinnett County Bar Association in 2020 - 2021, and served in many leadership roles before that.. I earned my J.D. degree from Tulane University School of Law. I am a graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where I majored in Religious Studies.  I am the divorced and remarried mother of a blended family. My husband and I have five children ages 20, 18, 17, 15, and 14.

I am committed to providing the best representation possible for my clients.  I recognize that every person who calls me has been injured - on the job, in an auto collision, or in another way.  Often, serious injuries get in the way of the ability to earn a living; it is critical to get timely and accurate legal advice in those situations.. I am one of the few attorneys that understand what it means to work with your hands, to earn a living with hard, physical work.  Prior to enrolling in law school in 2001, I was employed as a commercial electrician; I have also driven a forklift, worked retail and warehousing.  I am proud of my blue-collar background.  I believe that my experience working real jobs, with real people, in all conditions, inside and out, lends me valuable insight on the working man's (and woman's) situation that most attorneys cannot provide.. I have been married since 1996, and have three sons.  Outside of work, my leisure time is centered on my family, including family history, and preserving family photographs and documents.

I am a Georgia native currently living in Buford with my wife of 15 years and our 2 daughters.

After graduating from Central Gwinnett High School in Lawrenceville, Georgia, Jordan was determined to receive a quality education, so that he could return and serve the community where he grew up. He earned his undergraduate degree at Brigham Young University. He was also fortunate enough to meet his wife, while there, and even more fortunate to convince her to move with him to Georgia, so that he could attend law school at Georgia State University's College of Law. In addition to being widely regarded as one of the best public law schools in the country, GSU provided Jordan with a number of excellent opportunities, including working with some of the leading academics in their areas of expertise. Jordan Alford is especially grateful to Professors Mary Radford, Julian Juergensmeyer, and Ryan Rowberry, for their tutelage and continued mentorship.. While in law school, Jordan was able to work at a number of different law firms, whose areas of specialty ranged from criminal law to real estate. He was likewise privileged to serve as an Intern in the Superior Court of Fulton County with Judge John Goger. During his time with Judge Goger, Jordan was able to work on cases that ranged in subject matter from medical malpractice to derivatives litigation. These diverse set of experiences impressed upon Jordan two important things: 1) There is enough diversity in the law to find something you love doing; and 2) Don't practice in an area of law you don't love, because being a good lawyer requires nothing less than 100 percent commitment to your clients and your craft.. Jordan has a passion for his selected areas of expertise. In addition to his private practice he acts as a volunteer Editor of The Mortmain, a quarterly publication produced by the Estate and Probate section of the Atlanta Bar Association. He also serves the local Probate Courts of North Metro Atlanta by acting as Guardian Ad Litem or as an appointed attorney in cases dealing with incapacity of the elderly, representing minors in probate administration, and in mental health commitment cases.
