I am so blessed to have the privilege to advocate for families in Georgia. In my practice of restructuring families, I have had the opportunity to represent both husbands and wives and mothers and fathers in their divorces, legitimations, child custody matters, child support modifications and paternity actions. These representations include the prosecution and defense of these matters. While every case is different, many of the cases are ripe for resolution short of litigation. However, some of them must be litigated to the fullest extent in a courtroom. When you decide to hire hlg you are investing in attorneys who recognize that this is already a difficult time in your life and you need intelligent legal counsel with true compassion. I offer this delicate balance of strong and tenacious representation with comfort and respect for the very delicate subject matter. I work hard to ensure that the legal process understood so you can be prepared.. I bring a diverse perspective to assist our clients in their personal injury matters. We assist clients in various personal injury matters including car accidents, slip and falls, malicious prosecution, negligent security and other matters. We work efficiently to ensure the clients have as much knowledge about the process – including “behind the scene” knowledge. We go above and beyond the requirement and deliver professional and personal attention. An example of this stellar service is that we always attempt to reduce medical bills to ensure as much money as possible goes directly to the client even though it does not increase the amount of money we receive. While we strive to resolve claims as soon as practical, we refuse to settle an unfair claim, thus, many of our matters have to move forward in litigation.. To conclude our family representation, we also offer estate-planning service, including simple wills.. I began my career as a bond attorney where I served as counsel for governments and other entities who borrowed money for public purposes. I learned so much from this practice but I believe my major lesson was refining my case management and document drafting skills.. I look forward to utilizing all of my training to work for you!

I went to law school to help make people's lives better and practicing family law has been one of the most rewarding ways in which to do that. Divorce and child custody issues involve some of the most emotionally charged and traumatic events people encounter. I enjoy (for the most part) helping folks see the light at the end of the tunnel and helping them find ways to make the best of an otherwise terrible time in their lives.. While the "law" certainly is a critical part of practicing family law, my own personal experience during my divorce and subsequent custody battles (the divorce took four years to obtain and the custody battles took place about every two years for well over a decade) give me ground level experience about the emotional trauma that goes along with these types of cases. I have to say that I finally got wise and married my best friend from high school and have been happily married to him for almost 20 years. We have lots of kids (only a few of which I actually birthed - the rest came over to eat dinner and never really left) and a very firm belief that it is possible to create your own family, regardless of blood ties. (We were the "Blind Side" long before the movie came out, just for the record.). On the other hand, I served as General Counsel for a multinational corporation prior to practicing family law, so I have a strong business background and understand where the money can sometimes go in family owned businesses. I can comfortably track assests and income streams from many sources and understand how division of marital busineses can alter the business valuations.. Going to court is my work version of chocolate. I absolutely love it and it has the added benefit of being fat free.

I began practicing family law while still a student in Seton Hall University Law School in New Jersey and found that I loved it. Family law is challenging and each case is very different from the next and presents its own unique issues and strategy. From that first divorce in law school, I have continued to practice family and divorce law exclusively.

Practice Areas: Divorce & Separation
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.

Practice Areas: Divorce & Separation
Mrs. Ruble's practice areas include family law, divorce, separation, custody, child support, legitimation, family violence, and Depedancy/DFCS actions. Her practice areas include both family law matters and business litigation. Charlotte became interested in family law based on a guardianship action for her niece and nephew prior to law school. This exposure to the Family Law Court system launched empathy for individuals going through family transitions. Charlotte also finds that her business background is frequently used to analyze the financial transitions that occur in family law cases, helping her strategically advise clients to prepare for their financial future.. Charlotte began practicing law with the Chair of the Family Law Section of the Georgia Bar. The Family Law section of the Georgia Bar is a professional organization associated with the lawyer licensing board in Georgia. Mentored by the chair for nearly two years, Charlotte gained extensive litigation experience in family law. This litigation experience coupled with her internship in the Superior Court of Cherokee County with Judge Ellen McElyea has provided countless hours of family law arguments, strategies, and knowledge in this field.. Mrs. Ruble handles a broad range of family law cases including divorce, separation, custody, child support, legitimation, family violence actions, and Dependancy/DFCS actions. Modification actions and contempt proceedings are also part of her practice area. Mrs. Ruble advocates for her clients' interests in a cost effective approach. Clients are not only advised on the legal issues in their case, but also cost effective strategies for their case. This includes advisement on courses of action and the financial considerations for those actions. Mrs. Ruble strongly believes that parties should try to resolve matters in a collaborative fashion whenever possible, however, she understands that there are times when it is necessary and appropriate to use her litigation background as a strategic advantage for clients... General Background and Education. Mrs. Ruble was born in New Orleans, Lousiana. Her family moved to Cherokee County, Georgia in 1989. Her father was a officer in the United States Navy. Her family has been involved in the Cherokee County community for almost 30 years.. Mrs. Ruble attended Georgia State University earning a Bachelor's in Spanish and a Bachelor's in German. While in college, Mrs. Ruble attended many international languages programs abroad through the University System of Georgia including programs with Georgia Institute of Technology and the University of Georgia. These programs provided colleagate courses in Germany, Mexico, and a series of Arbitration courts in the European Union. Mrs. Ruble then continued her education at Georgia State University earning a specialized Master's Degree in International Business. Charlotte focused her Master's degree on law and finance comparing the practice of law in the United States to other countries.. Mrs. Ruble worked for the Foreign Commerical Service sector of the United State Government at the American Consulate in Munich, Germany in 2008. She then decided to transition her passion for law into a more domestic setting attending Mercer University School of Law. In addition to the rigors of a law school curriculum, Mrs. Ruble interned with Judge Ellen McElyea in the Superior Court of Cherokee County and then worked as a law clerk for Weinberg, Wheeler, Hudgins, Gunn, & Dial for two years while finishing law school.. At Weinberg, Wheeler, Hudgins, Gunn, & Dial, Mrs. Ruble gained litigation experience working on large scale insurance defense cases in areas including premise liability, medical malpratice, breach of contract, and trucking accidents. While she thoroughly enjoyed the court room side of this practice area, Mrs. Ruble felt that the human component and connection with clients was an essential and the most rewarding part of being a lawyer.. Mrs. Ruble went to work in the area of Family Law for the Chair of the Family Law Section of the State Bar of Georgia after graduating law school. She joined Meriwether & Tharp in 2013. Mrs. Ruble was on the Board of the Forsyth County Bar Association from 2014 to 2017. She was President of the Forsyth County Bar Association from 2016 to 2017.

Nicole Crites began her legal career all the way back in high school when she participated in Volusia County's Teen Court Program. This program is designed as a diversionary program for juvenile defendants with minor criminal charges. Nicole volunteered as a teen prosecutor and went on to win Prosecutor of the Year in her county.. Nicole's commitment to service continued into adulthood, when she became a volunteer Guardian ad Litem for Alachua County. Having not even started law school yet, Nicole had plenty of experience making court appearances, speaking to judges, and confronting uncomfortable truths in pursuit of the best interests of the children she served. It was through these experiences that Nicole solidified her desire to help families going through tough times, and more specifically, help the children of families going through tough times.. Nicole received her undergraduate degree from the University of Florida in 2011 and went on to receive her Juris Doctorate from the University of Florida, Levin College of Law. While in law school, Nicole participated in the prosecution clinic and worked in the Domestic Violence Unit of the State Attorney's Office in the Eighth Judicial Circuit, seeking justice and, most importantly, safety for the victims of domestic violence.. After being admitted to the Florida bar and working in domestic relations in Florida, Nicole decided to move closer to her family in Atlanta. Nicole continued to work in domestic relations law after her move and has frequently litigated complex matters, involving trusts, closely held businesses, complicated child custody matters, and equitable division of assets whose value is difficult to ascertain. Nicole fervently believes that it is best for children if their parents can resolve issues through a collaborative and non-adversarial approach. However, Nicole recognizes this approach is not always feasible for certain litigants and has developed an assertive and confident style of litigation in the courtroom. Nicole understands that there is wisdom in the Art of War, and that a long-term strategy, not short-term tactics, leads to the best results for clients. Nicole doesn't engage in foolishness which only serves to drive up costs and instead focuses her calm demeanor and patience to formulate a strategy designed to get her clients to the end of their litigation with favorable results.. Nicole worked as a professional chef while in undergraduate school and law school, and has brought those skills home. When she is not being a lawyer, she enjoys cooking five-star meals, and being home with her three dogs and two kids.

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 co-founded Meriwether & Tharp, LLC with Robert “Bob” Tharp in 1998. In the beginning, the firm was just two young lawyers who thought that they could make a difference by teaming up together. At present, we are the largest family law firm in the state of Georgia. The firm has over 40 lawyers dedicated to helping clients get through difficult times.. In 2009, we surveyed the family law landscape and decided to make a change. We began to develop a vision of a better way to practice family law. As our vision became a reality, the firm grew.. As the practice grew, our team honed our courtroom skills to zealously advocate for our clients. But, more importantly, we learned that lawyers should work to resolve most family law cases. In some respects, working to resolve cases is much more challenging than litigating the cases. It requires digging in to find out where the problems are and looking for solutions. Often solutions are found outside of the confines of the legal system.. In addition to working to resolve the case, we also help our clients perform a three step cost-benefit analysis of their situation to help them make wise decisions. First, we help the client understand the legal strengths and weaknesses of a their case. Next, we discuss with the client the financial repercussions and costs of pursuing a specific litigation plan. And finally, we explore the long term 'emotional' price of any particular plan. The emotional price can include the value of ending a case earlier so that the client can move on with their life. The emotional price can also include the toll protracted litigation can have on children.. We are here to help. Sometimes that help involves giving the clients certain tools to save their marriage and never hire us. We love it when that opportunity comes along.. When I am not helping someone with their divorce, or trying to save their marriage, you will find me with my wife and kids or in my woodworking shop. On a personal level, I hold a Black Belt in Judo and was the State Champion in my division while in law school. I was active in my sons’ Cub Scouts and Boy Scout activities. I was also the den leader for both my sons and ran the Pack’s Cub Mobile Race (with 99 scouts) for five years in a row. I have built my children’s bedroom furniture; our kitchen table; end tables; an entire suite of furniture on our back porch including a swing bed; and even my office desk out of Ambrosia Maple. In my spare time, I also enjow using my woodworking skills to craft individualized and unique pens. Click here to see a link to my pen selection! If that weren’t enough, I also have a podcast called The Avid Woodworker ().

Firm: Spooner & Associates, P.C.
3451 Lawrenceville Suwanee Road , Suwanee , Georgia 30024
Practice Areas: Divorce & Separation
At Spooner and Associates, P.C., we put our clients first. Our objective is to efficiently resolve each case with our client's interests at the forefront of every decision. We are a firm of skilled litigators who are aggressive in the courtroom. However, when it is in our client's best interests, we can handle cases through negotiation or methods of alternative dispute resolution, such as mediation.. We help our clients find a solution.. More About Scott:. Scott helps people avoid costly consequences when resolving disputes with a spouse, ex-spouse, or an insurance company. In a divorce, seemingly minor decisions made now may cause problems later. These problems can include obligations for someone else’s debts, loss of your property, or limited rights with your own children. Settling a personal injury case without legal guidance may leave you with an unfair settlement amount or responsibility for repaying your health insurer for your medical expenses. Nobody ever wants to have legal problems, but Scott guides you through the process and explains all your options for achieving the most favorable outcome.. Scott grew up in a small Georgia town where he valued his relationships with others. A “people person” at heart, Scott found that work at large law firms (with correspondingly large caseloads and billable hour requirements) didn’t allow him to provide personalized legal help for his clients. So in 2002, Scott started his law firm in Gwinnett County (Suwanee, Georgia) with a goal of providing individualized legal counsel to clients in all North Metro Atlanta counties. As demand for his personalized legal solutions increased, he grew the firm to include three additional attorneys and a staff of six paralegals and assistants. Everyone at Spooner & Associates, P.C. shares the same philosophy of service to clients. We maintain a selective caseload so that each client receives the attention they deserve.. Scott’s skills and experience are well-suited to assist you with issues involving family law and mediation. Having experienced divorce in his family, he is empathetic to anyone needing Georgia family law services. A skilled negotiator, Scott is an experienced mediator with the Georgia Office of Dispute Resolution and helps resolve legal disputes. He also represents his clients in mediations and may avoid the expense and emotions of a divorce trial. However, if negotiations fail, he is an aggressive litigator when he protects his clients’ rights in a courtroom trial.. Scott enjoys spending time with his family and traveling to historic locations. Gettysburg, PA is a family favorite. Scott also supports youth education and is a member of the Board of Trustees for North Gwinnett Schools Foundation. With his dedication to his clients and family, Scott’s fantasy league baseball team has suffered in recent years.
