Introduction
Founding attorney Melissa Davis has practiced family law since 2006, and the boutique firm she built around that experience reflects what nearly two decades of courtroom work teaches: contested divorces require both litigation skill and a clear understanding of what families stand to lose when proceedings drag on. Buckhead Family Law operates from 3017 Bolling Way NE, First Floor, Atlanta, GA 30305, with an additional office in Marietta, bringing focused representation to clients across Fulton, Cobb, DeKalb, Gwinnett, and Forsyth counties.
The firm handles the full spectrum of divorce and family law matters, from collaborative separations to high-stakes contested litigation.
Practice Areas
Buckhead Family Law concentrates exclusively on divorce and family matters.
Contested Divorce and Complex Litigation
Attorney Davis brings extensive courtroom litigation experience to contested divorce cases, including disputes over property and financial matters that require skilled advocacy before a judge. The firm handles high-net-worth property division cases involving complex asset structures that require careful analysis and strategic positioning.
Child Custody and Support
Custody disputes represent some of the most consequential family law proceedings, and Buckhead Family Law approaches them with the litigation depth required when parents cannot reach agreement. The firm handles both custody arrangements and child support calculations, as well as post-divorce modifications when circumstances change.
Alimony and Spousal Support
Alimony negotiations require understanding both the financial landscape of a marriage and the legal standards Georgia courts apply. The firm handles initial alimony determinations and modifications to existing support orders.
Prenuptial Agreements
Before marriage, couples can protect their financial interests through properly drafted prenuptial agreements. The firm prepares these documents to hold up when they matter most.
Additional Family Matters
Buckhead Family Law also handles paternity actions and domestic violence protective orders, recognizing that family law encompasses situations far beyond divorce proceedings.
Collaborative Divorce
The firm provides collaborative divorce options for clients who prefer to resolve their separation through negotiation rather than courtroom proceedings. This approach preserves the litigation capability to shift strategy when negotiations stall.
