Fenwick Thompson & Associates LLC

....WELL....Here I am again! I am still not divorced, but did just have court again yesterday. I want to reemphasize the review I left over a year ago. LOOK NO FURTHER! HIRE THIS FIRM!!! This group of ladies at Fenwick Thompson & Associates still ROCK! The staff has remained the same amazing team that was there when I chose this firm to represent me. (That is another stark comparison that needs to be made to my original law firm that represented me during the 1st 3 years of my divorce process.) This might not be something you might look for when searching for a law firm, but let me tell you....It is extremely important! These ladies know my case. These ladies know me. These ladies are a solid unit. These ladies are compassionate, and they care about their clients! With my contentious divorce, I can say that we were all stressed yesterday. In the end, Melanie delivered a huge WIN for me in my case! Melanie, Heather, Kristi, and Hassell have absolutely made my Christmas! I have now been awarded more desperately needed visitation time with my children for the holiday! The gratitude that I feel towards these ladies is immense. Their ability and desire to fight for ME AND MY CHILDREN means more than anyone could ever know! We have a jury trial scheduled for April 2026. I see light at the end of the tunnel, and I couldn't feel happier to have these talented ladies on my side!!!!!

My experience with Fenwick Thompson & Associates, LLC was absolutely superb! Melanie and staff were responsive, knowledgeable, and thorough. Melanie was relatable, poised, and confident, all of which she reflected in the outstanding service she provided our family to help us achieve the desired outcome. Her experience and expertise in Family Law is unmatched, and she and her staff gave us the peace of mind needed during a stressful time. I highly recommend Melanie and Fenwick, Thompson & Associates, LLC if and when you need a fierce warrior in or out of the courtroom! Thank you, Melanie and staff!

I'd been going through a nearly 3 year family law matter that started out with a protective order for DV, then we went into a custody battle. When I first spoke with her, it was still new and my emotions were still high, and I couldn't contain myself. I cried a lot during these years just talking about and thinking of what happened. Attorney Melanie's attorney hat came off and she put on her "homegirl" hat, and consoled me letting me know that she got me and things would be okay. I hate to say it but I didn't believe her at the time because if anyone has gone through DV, it's hard to trust and believe in anyone once you're out of that situation. I was new to Gwinnett but I went against my judgment (glad that I did) and hired her. We started with paperwork, settlement offers, agreements, court dates that wouldn't align, etc. Anywho, time continued and we couldn't get any agreement on anything from the other attorney and I began to question if I did the right thing since it was taking so long. The case in NC had also been dismissed two days prior to me going to testify. In my eyes, that looked very bad for me but Attorney Melanie did not flinch. My new homegirl was calmed, collected, and already prepared in the background without me knowing because I was so frazzled and again, scared. God will ALWAYS outwork the devil because then my praying mom came in. She said, don't give up and that God needed me in a space that's right for the situation. I kept praying and one day, all that fear went away and I got my fight back. I remembered who I WAS AND STILL IS!!!! During that same time, I received an email from Attorney Melanie and her team that they were ready to set a date again. I was no longer scared when I got those emails, but felt so ready. Babyeee, God said go!!! I got to the courthouse on Thursday and EVERYTHING from small to big fell into place. I was a little nervous but when I walked down the hall and saw my attorney looking fierce and ready, that nervous energy went away when she hugged me. It was like a transfer of energy because like she told me in the beginning, "she got me". I was there 20 min prior to court time and she was already speaking with the opposing attorney working her magic. After 3 hours, in and out of the courtroom, she did that! She knew exactly what was right for me and my son while negotiations were happening and sometimes said no before I could because again, we were able to match energy as soon as I got there. God had prepared her for my defense that day (Let Him use you, ma'am!). She got me what I needed to help take the load off my day to day, and corrected all the things that were wrong. THANK YOU!!!

Attorney Fenwick Thompson is by far one of the best family law and entertainment attorneys in Atlanta. Not only is she very knowledgeable of the law, but her poise and presence command the courtroom. Her professionalism and solid reputation garner the respect of judges and her peers! She is definitely the attorney you want on your team!

Attorney Melanie and her team have been exceptionally outstanding since retaining her for my divorce. Her stance is diligent, and one of great dignity. Her representation has always been " to the point" and she supports her clients in all capacity. She is not an attorney that will use unnecessary tactics to delay your case because she understands the pain and hurt that it places on the children of these divorces. Her commitment and respect to you the client, and the courts as well is by far, top tier. I highly suggest anyone looking for an attorney with integrity, utilize her services. She has been around for quite awhile and she's not an attorney "out to make a quick buck". Her overall rating is beyond the stars the you place in these reviews, because Attorney Melanie, and her team, "still operate with high morals, ethics, principles and within law, so that the system and other unethical lawyers, don't take advantage of her clients!!!! I could literally write a book on the service and commitment that Melanie and her team have exhibited!
