It's important to remember Georgia does have good family law attorneys.

There are a few however, that we would not get within a country mile.

Below for wholly ineffective attorneys who would not refund monies demanded. (And raise your hand who's surprised).

Philip Coe
Mr. Coe advertises he has achieved an AV rating; which means he has the highest standards and legal expertise, as rated by his peers, compiled by a firm with a long history of rating attorneys. So we'll begin with that.

At one time this firm could be relied on for accuracy.

That time has passed.

By example, California attorney, James Bottomley attained a BV rating by that organization. This means Mr. Bottomley has a high degree of both ethics and legal expertise. He graduated from Stanford and then Hastings.

Unfortunately, Mr. Bottomley is currently serving a forty year prison sentence, for killing an ex-client, who declined to be Mr. Bottomley's girlfriend, and loan him forty thousand dollars for his failing real estate practice.

As a professional courtesy, we advised the rating company of Mr. Bottomley's arrest and trial, two years ago. Now serving his serving his sentence, Mr. Bottomley retains his BV rating.

Complaints involving Mr. Coe include, but are not limited to Mr. Coe's performance, not his ability to perform. However, great or small, the result of Mr. Coe's repeated refusal to timely and aggressively represent his client, resulted in opposing party's refusal to settle, and, seek psychological advantage through a new means: evaluations.

The Result from that being Mr. Coe financially crippled his own client, while insuring his client's son remained in danger.

We wrote Mr. Coe, asking him to explain how he could not act to rescue a child less capable than most to be able to withstand illegal medical procedures, a child more vulnerable than most, and we additionally asked Mr. Coe's reasons for not keeping his client informed of important court dates, including Status Conferences.

We telephoned Mr. Coe. However, mirroring his conduct toward his client, he refused to respond.

Not only do we find Mr. Coe's behavior inexcusable, we suggest the client include interest with his refund demand.

Mr. Coe is just one example. We have more.
