Top Best Business Lawyers | 10266 Available

I'm a native Atlantan and have lived in Gwinnett County since marrying my husband, Randy Rich, in 1999. We live in Suwanee with our two children and usually spend our leisure time at their games, events and performances.  My practice areas include a variety of civil matters, including tax, wills, contracts, business disputes, and personal injury.  I'm committed to providing the highest quality legal representation and truly being of value and assistance to my clients.

The areas of law I concentrate in are intensively focused on relationships — relationships between partners (whether a married couple or co-owners of a business), relationships between family members, and relationships between two or more businesses.  Understanding relationships, both from practical and human perspective and from a legal perspective, allows me to better serve families and businesses in disputes. I have compassion for clients navigating the legalities involved in family issues, and I am currently assisting clients in a wide range of family law matters.  As a business owner myself, I also identify with all local business owners, small and large, and truly aspire to help local businesses build strong foundations, grow, and succeed in their own ventures.
