When my marriage of 25 years ended, I was facing a divorce involving a family-owned business, multiple investment properties, and complicated trust structures. The financial and emotional stakes were overwhelming. From our first consultation, Margaret Martin demonstrated why she has been a respected figure in Atlanta family law for three decades. Her deep understanding of complex financial issues, particularly with closely held businesses, was immediately evident. She meticulously analyzed every asset and proposed a strategy that was both aggressive in protecting my interests and pragmatic in moving the case toward resolution. Her magna cum laude legal training shone through in her precise, well-reasoned arguments, yet she never lost sight of the human element, providing steady counsel during a turbulent time. The recognition she has received in family law is well-deserved. Margaret and her team at Eittreim Martin Cutler secured a settlement that not only provided a fair and equitable division of our marital property but also ensured the long-term viability of the business I helped build. She is a consummate professional whose experience, intellect, and compassion make her an exceptional attorney. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
