I hired Rebecca McLaws to appeal my case on a matter in my divorce case, i paid her the fee she requested and provided her with all of the information/pleadings she requested in a timely manner with assistance from friends and family. Im a cancer patient, Rebecca knew this before i hired her. After she filed a motion with the court of appeals to extend the time to file my appeal an additional 20 days which was granted by the Ga Court of Appeals, she missed the deadline to file my appeal and her failure damaged me.

Ms. McLaws is an amazing attorney. She is committed to advocating for her clients and goes above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of a case is meticulously addressed. She is not afraid to take on the court system to fight for what is right and equitable. I wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone seeking legal counsel.

Rebecca and her team did an amazing job for me and my family. My case was complex, spanning multiple counties with three separate parties involved. The journey was extremely emotional. Rebecca was compassionate and fought for my rights every step of the way. She researched similar law cases before making motions and decisions, and allowed me to be engaged in the process. She kept me informed of all my options and explained the process in a manner I could understand. As the biological, paternal grandmother of a child I raised for 6 years from birth, Rebecca made sure I had a voice in the courtroom and that any rulings were truly in the best interest of the child. She held all parties accountable to upholding the law, and although professional, she challenged the judge, the guardian ad litem, and others, when necessary. I would absolutely recommend Rebecca McLaws and her firm for their knowledge of law, professionalism, compassion and dedication to the successful outcome of your case.

Rebecca took on my case after I was drawn into court during a rough divorce and child support case. Rebecca was very aggressive in my case against which made me nervous at first because the judge in my case seemed to always be hard towards me. Rebecca knows the law and in my case filed and appeal in my case to the GA Court of Appeals and we WON!! If you want an attorney who will aggressively represent you and knows the law and how to apply it.... I STRONGLY RECOMMEND HER...!

Rebecca is intuitive and has a solid understanding and memory or the state statutes. She knows what questions to ask witnesses because she pays attention to the details, and she truly cares about her clients. She is highly skilled and is extremely impressive when litigating.

Rebecca genuinely cares. She is a powerhouse in the courtroom. She is exactly what I needed. I highly recommend her. She knows the laws. With her I didn't feel alone in the courtroom. She handled my case with brilliant execution and support.

My original divorce attorney retired and Rebecca was who he referred me to. My divorce was final, but my ex was not paying me on time or the correct amount of alimony. Rebecca is as tough as nails and when we went to court, she did not hold back. Not only did she get the job done, it was at an affordable rate. And since we won the contempt case, I was awarded her fees from my ex. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Rebecca! ! !

Divorce can be devastating with many emotions involved. Rebecca, looked out for my financial well-being when I was ready to give up. She also was encouraging and helped me to gain strength through the process. I am forever grateful for her. She is extremely knowledgeable and knows what she is doing. Trust the process because she has it covered. I am very happy with my decision to hire her as my lawyer.

Even though there were times I had a hard time reaching Rebecca she always returned my calls and emails. For that matter even though my divorce is over she still answers my calls or emails when I have issues with my ex. I had never needed a lawyer prior to my divorce. I had an immediate connection with Rebecca. She warned me I wouldn't get everything I wanted, and I didn't. That was not her fault. For that matter she fought even after final for items she did not think were ordered based on the law. Even some of those things were lost but not all. I am happy with her representation and will definitely use her again if i need counsel. Hopefully that day will not come.

Her and her assistant were the most unprofessional people I have ever met. She puts up a good show acting outraged even at what your spouse has done, but when she was asking for money is probably the only times I was contacted on time.
- Her and her assistant never really answered my phone calls. Her assistant's inbox is always full and she gets an attitude for contacting her. If they do respond it's a week later.
- I had never gone through a divorce so I had questions but I would get attitudes like I wasn't paying them for their services and time.
- She didn't ask my ex-husband lawyer for some important documents which greatly affected the child support, assets and equity from the house.
- SHE WAS 30 MINUTES LATE TO COURT ON THE DAY OF MY HEARING. While my ex-husband lawyer was early and consulting with him, I was biting my fingernails and calling her. she had an attitude because I kept calling when she didn't answer the first couple times.
- She's very unorganized.

Retaining Rebecca McLaws is the reason i have my family today. I hired her for my divorce and custody case. At the time in which she was retained, my actions had put her in a tough place for a successful pleading. I had been fighting in court for years with my now ex-husband. His attempts to keep my two young boys away from me were vindictive and unrelenting. His abuse carried from every aspect of the marriage onto the divorce. He knew my weaknesses and my past all of which he used to against me. He had manipulated the system and used my extensive criminal history due to my addiction to his full advantage. It was Rebecca's offensive actions that finally put an end to his schemes and won for me full custody of my children. She is smart and more importantly has a firm grasp of the law and was able to combat my husbands team that had beaten other lawyers I had hired. I am very grateful to Rebecca and appreciate all her help.

Normally, I would not take the time to write a review; however, as a recently divorced client, I wanted to share my encounter with Rebecca McLaws’ Law Group. Divorce is never a pleasant or expected journey in one’s life but in my time of need, Rebecca McLaws’ Law Group was there guiding me through every step of the way. Friends provided me with a list of attorneys, which I contacted but Ms. McLaws' initial phone contact sounded more genuine, which helped me make the decision to move forward with meeting her in person. Ms. McLaws, was forthcoming with my pages of questions regarding the divorce process. She informed me of the needed documents to pursue my case to the best of her ability. There were times she answered emails and calls from me after hours, which reassured me she was there for me. Ms. McLaws was professional, passionate, trustworthy, and committed as if she was the one going through the divorce. I recommend her highly.

Rebecca took my case several years ago. I could have won it then but I withdrew. The same case came back via the court system. I did not have the funds available to pursue. She was kind enough to give me pointers. I did what I could and hired her back. She was able to win my case hands down. I like her so much that I have referred her to my friends who need a great attorney. She is awesome in the courtroom. She knew my case, the judge wanted to reschedule and she fought to get my case heard. She promised the judge that she was ready and would not waste her time. She had already typed and prepared my new order. The judge was happy and was able to sign it right away. This allowed me to take the document to child support services which in turn allowed them to collect right away.

I agree with what others are saying about communication being almost non-existent. I also had multiple times where I didn't hear from Rebecca or her paralegal for long periods of time, despite my repeated calls and emails to their office - only to finally hear something the day before or the day of court. And I also experienced multiple times of Rebecca coming to court and having to prepare documents and such while waiting to be called. And I also experienced the seemingly interested in nothing but money attitude. Even got bills from Rebecca for charges that had already been paid. And not small amounts - talking multiple thousands of dollars. I finally had to take all of my cancelled checks up there with detailed records of what was paid when. For an attorney, her records didn't seem to be very well kept. Overall, I feel that Rebecca does the bare minimum to get by. She was not successful for me in court, despite her continued promises that "we've got this." Find someone else.

Doesn't respond to my calls or my emails, doesn't keep me informed. I had to look up my own court date on a government website! What was she planning on telling me a day before!? You'd think she'd care a little bit more about he people she serves who are stressing out over this stuff. But you're left to sit and wait for answers she never gives.

Initially she was on top of things thru the first appearance in court & during mediation, but then it went downhill fast!Her only interest was money after money from me. The last time I saw her I gave her yet another $2500 & then didn't see/hear from her for 4 mos prior to our last court date & getting any help from her "paralegal" was a JOKE! I felt like I was bothering them by wanting to talk to my attorney. So McLaws shows up at last court,not having prepared me for court, and she wasn't prepared because she was preparing her case during testimony. I ended up losing joint legal custody of my granddaughter &liberal visitation. My grand lost all military benefits she had with me, lost medical insurance, and 4 years of college paid for by the V.A., but that didn't matter to McLaws. She had been out of the country & just returned the night before court. She was going out of country& referred me to another attorney who could do my appeal but that attorney had her license suspended!

She takes your money and does the bare minimum of work, does not meet, does not keep you informed, does not plan before going to court. Very sloppy because of a lack of preparation. Unless your case is a slam dunk she will have trouble, and will lead you on to get paid, doing the minimum work while balking so she can keep your money. Avoid.

She does a hard sell in the initial consultation and makes a lot of promises that she never delivers on. She does not follow up and unless you aks questions, it takes weeks to get answers.
