In November, I participate in a Senior Legal Document Assistance Event sponsored by the Atlanta’s Fulton County Mayor’s Office for Free legal counsel, preparation and filing Wills, Health Directives, Power of Attorney. In the City’s Law Department, other Law Firms, including Attorney Shakhan’s office provide all services pro bono who provided stellar support including preparation of 2 documents and arranged to have them witnessed and notarized at City Hall. This was of high quality work, tremendous value and peace of mind support for Seniors and bonus… no charge! Thank you to the Mayor and particularly the Law Firm of Shakhan & Wilkerson

**lengthy review for serious future clients**
I sincerely pray this finds the reader well in hopes that this may steer you in the right direction in your pursuit. I highly recommend this firm from my great experience with this team. Initially the few negative reviews concerned me as it would for anyone else, needless to say my fear didn’t outweigh my faith. It is important to note there’s truly nothing guaranteed in life, unfortunate things happen but you’ll never get far without that first step. Also, I must note the maturity and professionalism that’s imperative when proceeding in legal matters. My attorney Chelsea, in hand with her immaculate legal team performed in such a manner I could not complain. The timeline will vary with each case. We were at the mercy of time and the significant momentum against us. I can say personally there were times emotions rose and naturally I was unsure of the inevitable outcome. In the most professional way possible (even with a winning case) I was vehemently reminded that no promises can nor will ever be made. You MUST hold yourself accountable at every step.
Responses from the team were always provided in a timely order and accommodations were mutually made as I reinstate that when you hire a firm you all are unequivocally a TEAM.
In closing, I would have left the same review if the outcome wasn’t what I intended. This firm is for the intentional, accountable, and the “working man” if you will. They were nothing short of affordable but again I say every case is different. Take what you read with a grain of salt. I initially left 5 stars but I reduce it to be realistic, they’re humans just like me and you (hopefully). They are not perfection personified but they’re the team that presented the facts in court and the rest was simply in God’s hands. The ball is in your court, do not foul out. Take care and I wish the reader the best in their future endeavors.

I am beyond grateful for the exceptional service provided by Shakhan and Wilkerson Law and their team. From the initial consultation to the final verdict, their professionalism, thoroughness, empathy, and unwavering commitment to our case were evident at every stage. Thanks to their expertise and dedication, we achieved the visitation we were seeking, and I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome.
What truly set Shakhan and Wilkerson apart was their genuine commitment to fighting for what’s right. After consulting with several attorneys in the field, I knew Attorney Genghis Shakhan and his team were the right fit for our case. They ensured I was informed every step of the way, answered all my questions, and prepared us for court with exceptional care and attention to detail. I felt confident and supported throughout the entire process.
If you're looking for an affordable attorney who is not only highly knowledgeable but also genuinely invested in your success, I wholeheartedly recommend Shakhan and Wilkerson Law. They exceeded all of my expectations and provided outstanding legal representation in family law.
Frequently Asked Questions About Shakhan & Wilkerson Law
Do I need legal assistance with a family matter?
If you are contemplating divorce, seeking to modify an existing child support order, or wish to have your custody or visitation rights legally recognized, it is advisable to consult with the attorneys at Shakhan & Wilkerson Law. Our firm specializes in these areas and can provide the necessary legal guidance and representation.
Can the Shakhan & Wilkerson firm assist me with modification of my support payments?
Indeed, our firm can assist with support payment modifications. When circumstances change significantly from those present at the time of the original decree, such as job loss or business failure, the court may consider granting a modification. It's crucial to file for modification promptly, as the court does not automatically adjust payments based on changed circumstances. Without filing, both parties remain bound by the original decree regardless of any changes.
Am I eligible to file for a modification to my custody order?
To file for a custody modification, it's necessary to demonstrate a significant change affecting the 'best interest of the child(ren)' regarding living arrangements. Alternatively, if a child has reached the age of fourteen and expresses a preference to live with the other parent, this can also be grounds for modification. Our firm can guide you through this process and help present your case effectively.
Can the Shakhan & Wilkerson firm assist me with adoption?
Our firm offers comprehensive assistance for various adoption scenarios. We can support families pursuing private or agency adoptions, as well as family members, stepparents, or foster parents seeking to adopt children currently in their care. Our attorneys are well-versed in the complexities of adoption law and can guide you through the entire process.
What are pre- and postnuptial agreements?
Pre- and postnuptial agreements are legal contracts that outline asset division in the event of a divorce. Prenuptial agreements are established before marriage, while postnuptial agreements are created after. For these agreements to be valid, both parties must fully disclose all assets and receive some benefit from the agreement. It's important to note that these agreements should not be created in anticipation of divorce. Shakhan & Wilkerson Law can assist in drafting both types of agreements to ensure they meet legal requirements.
Should I pursue legitimation?
Legitimation may be necessary if you're making child support payments but lack legal rights to custody or visitation, or if you were unmarried at your child's birth and wish to establish legal paternity. Even if you're listed on the birth certificate, have taken a paternity test, or pay child support, without marriage at the time of birth, you must file a petition for legitimation to be legally recognized as the father and gain entitlement to custody or visitation rights. Our firm can guide you through this legal process.
What is an uncontested divorce?
An uncontested divorce occurs when both spouses have reached a complete agreement on all terms prior to filing, including property division, alimony/spousal support, and child custody if applicable. If any disagreement exists on any issue, the divorce is considered contested. In uncontested divorces, our attorneys can draft the necessary legal documents according to the pre-agreed terms, though we can only represent and advise one spouse. Shakhan & Wilkerson Law can assist in preparing such agreements to ensure they meet legal standards.
When should I file for or defend against a contempt action?
A contempt action may be appropriate when one party violates the court's judgment decree. This can include failure to sell property, late support payments, or failure to divide assets as ordered. While certain circumstances like job loss may explain non-compliance, any violation of the final decree can be grounds for a contempt action. It's important to address these issues promptly, and our firm can advise on when and how to file or defend against such actions.
