James J. McGinnis

A steady hand through a complex divorce

After 20 years of marriage, navigating my divorce felt overwhelming. I chose James McGinnis based on his long-standing reputation and his firm's presence in Atlanta. His 43 years of experience, particularly the recognition in Family Law by Best Lawyers, was immediately evident. He provided a clear, strategic roadmap for asset division and custody discussions, cutting through the emotional noise with practical, seasoned advice. His deep knowledge of Georgia family law, honed since his graduation from Mercer in '82, gave me immense confidence. While his expertise is undeniable, communication response times could occasionally be a day or two slower than I'd have preferred during less urgent phases. That said, when it mattered, he was always available. The outcome was fair and stable, exactly what I needed. I highly recommend Mr. McGinnis for anyone seeking a knowledgeable and unflappable attorney in family matters.
