Melissa Hawkins

Firm: Hawkins Legal Group, LLC
343 Atlantis Ave NE , Atlanta , Georgia 30307
Practice Areas: Divorce & Separation
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!

Todd Orston

Firm: Meriwether & Tharp, LLC
1545 Peachtree Street, NE , Atlanta , Georgia 30309
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.
