Walter H. Burt, III - Albany (GA)

Shawn Reeves Having worked with Max and Grace for a full year, I wouldnt think of hiring any other firm when it comes to family law. I hired Porchlight to be my counsel in a contested divorce, the negotiations for which lasted one year. At all times, I felt fully, compassionately, professionally, responsively, and expertly represented. Max and Grace kept me aware of what was happening and why, when and how. They made sure I was making well-informed decisions, and they asserted their guidance in a way that kept me comfortable and confident. They were proactive in their thinking and strategic in their planning. I especially appreciated how well they tempered my emotion and help me think dispassionately about whatever was at hand. I always knew they had my interests at heart and my case in mind. Under their leadership and counsel, we resolved the divorce, and I am fully satisfied with the outcome. Maxs rates are fair, and her commitment to client service is unshakable. If youre wondering where to turn as you prepare for divorce, call Max. Id be willing to bet that, like me, youll be glad you did.

Stephen Hill David Waldroup and Andrea Griffin have been nothing short of amazing to work with regarding the handling of my familys estate. They are attentive, intelligent, and empathetic. Their extensive level of experience allows them to provide a deep level of insight when consulting clients. We are greatly appreciative to have them in our corner.

Angela Morgan I am profoundly grateful for everything Paul Painter has done for my family. Through an incredibly long and painful journey, his compassion and unwavering support meant more than words can express. He treated us with dignity, kindness, and deep understanding when we were at our most vulnerable, helping carry us through what felt impossible at times. His exceptional skill, tireless dedication, and genuine care made all the difference—not just in the outcome, but in how we survived the process. Thanks to Paul Painter, Stephen Morrison, and their remarkable team, we achieved justice when we had nearly lost hope. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone in need of not just outstanding legal representation, but true advocates who will stand beside you.

Laurin Coleman I’m a distant family friend of Ms. Jay & it just so happened she was in my courtroom helping out another client this particular day. I wasn’t educated on what I was truly facing in court. I thought I could just pay my fine and walk out scot-free. I was beginning to get extremely nervous when I saw others actually going to jail, having their license suspended, and paying up to $2,000 in fines. When I saw and spoke with her, it was like an instant breath of fresh air. She let me know what my options were & it wasn’t looking good for me at all. I was looking at either having my license suspended or paying a $740 speeding ticket. I hadn’t spoken to Ms.Jay about this previously, but when she saw me in that courtroom, she immediately got to business. She advocated for me and explained everything to me perfectly. She and the judge seemed to connect, and I don’t know what she said to him, but I ended up walking out of the courtroom not having to pay anything that day. I was tasked with an assignment of a reflective essay. That to me was better than any of the prior options I had been given, and I couldn’t have done it without Ms.Jay I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone facing any legal issues! She truly cares and she’s always about business.

Justin Bowen I have been through a lot in my short 34 years and have had to hire many different attorneys and I would say this is the greatest one I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Very organized, quick response times and super efficient. 10/10 do recommend. Thank you so much for getting this criminal case resolved for me!

Pam Suggs Merritt & Merritt was absolutely amazing to work with they have always kept me well informed I never had to chase after then for information. I was very pleased using their services. Thank you Merritt & Merritt and your staff on really taking good care of me. Many blessings to you!!!

Patti Loveless It is always a pleasure for my clients to close real estate transactions with Campbell & Brannon. The whole team does such a good job and communication is great.

Chelsea Roper I would give them 10 stars if I could! Safisha was very kind and openly communicated with me about my case. Bear in mind that I’m in Michigan and I was recommended to them from a Michigan lawyer. The courts were taking a long time, but she kept reassuring me that everything would be fine, as I was not in the wrong and could have possibly gotten in trouble for something I did not do. Well not only did she help me to get the case dismissed but she requested that the record get sealed as well. I was at the wrong place at the wrong time and this firm helped prove my innocence. I know every one’s circumstances are different, but she even helped me to where I didn’t have to appear in court (I would have had to purchase a round trip flight, hotel room and rental). Very professional, great communication and definitely knows the law. I would recommend this firm again and again.

Airjae I cannot thank Mr. Pirkle and Mary enough for the outstanding job taking care of me throughout the divorce process. What may have started as a typical divorce turned into a big mess with outside departments having to get involved. In the end, Mr. Pirkle did a wonderful job representing me at the final hearing. The outcome was very favorable and better than what I was expecting. A 5-star lawyer that looks out for his clients interests. I highly recommend Mr. Pirkle for your law needs. His fee is also reasonable and fair.

Connie Eason My experience was very pleasant and helpful. I understood everything completely and was kept well informed. I would refer anyone for their assistance.
