This team is the one you want to represent you with candor, information, responsiveness and professionalism. Courtney Carpenter & her team showed kindness, respect and heard out all my concerns. I felt empowered and relieved after each communication despite the difficulty of the personal process of divorce. I wholeheartedly recommend Courtney, her team and the firm. The accounting team is also terrific and work with you to help watch your expenses and make payments in a way that makes sense for you.

Leh and his team are phenomenal. As Legal professionals they are extremely competent and straight-forward. But first and foremost they are good people. Trust what they say and follow their advice and you can get through a difficult time with an equitable outcome.

I started my case very hopeful after being given confidence that the firm is and has handled cases like mine and it should be no problem ( hook). After paying their 3000.00 retainer that I told them I had to borrow and being told that the amount should get us through it (line). Within months of quick calls and a few office visits they wanted more money to proceed. I paid more and more and dispite paying monthly or better they threatened to drop me unless I paid all my bill in 10 days and a 2500.00 retainer (and sinker). Now I'm broke and bare for my ex's lawyer to pick me dry. Thanks for taking care of me. If I worked like that I might have problems sleeping.

Update.....
After posting this review a member of the Merriweather and Tharpe team reached out to me seemingly concerned about my experience and how they can make it better. I vented as customers have done to me in the past and they listened which was pleasing. The woman then offered to review my file and try and come up with a solution. She did the review and made some calls at no charge to me which wasn't what I was looking for in writing the review. However, then I am billed with her time which stated in the invoice no charge. I luckily caught it, and brought it to their attention. They admitted their mistake and corrected it, but now I'm concerned about bills I've paid already. Hopefully this whole mess is settled soon. I am not sure how much more additional stress I can take over it. Thank you to the one woman at Merriweather and Tharpe for taking the time to perform customer service. It was refreshing. I just wish your good action wasn't followed by the accounting mess up, because of course the last bad thing is usually what you are remembered for and not all the good.

I was introduced to Leh Meriwether before I needed to enlist his services and I'm glad I met him!

Leh is an excellent lawyer with, not only a keen mind, but big heart to see people through the most difficult days of one's life. A very strategic man.

Snakes, dirty, underhanded

Meriwether & Tharpe, LLC provided great legal representation service with a pleasant demeanor for the price quoted. Who could ask for more?! Thank you for making a difficult time a little easier.

Divorce was a disaster for me. I was a train-wreck, my emotions were all over the place and I am the woman who needs an answer RIGHT NOW !
Let me just say that Pat and her Team : Amy AND Melissa didn't skip a beat.
They kept me sane. Pat is kind, genuinely caring, and ONE FIERCE LAWYER.
I came to her with little to no fight left, Alot of nerves, and very little hope. By the time I was signing my papers, I was smiling and feeling like I can finally move on to my new life. She advised me strictly and she listened. In fact, I chose this firm because on my initial call, THEY LISTENED.
I hope that in my future I never need another divorce lawyer. But, if I do or any one that I know may, I am sending them Pat's way Or atleast to Meriwether and Tharp's office. Professional, timely, and proficient. Thank You for guiding me through this difficult time and situation.

David and his team were great! He, Blake and Julianne were always there with good advice and quick to respond anytime that I needed them. They made a very difficult and emotional issue much easier to work through with the best outcome I could have asked for.

Divorce is not a fun word and certainly not a fun thought. From my experience, if you are thinking about divorce for any amount of time, it's probably going to end up happening. If you find yourself saying it's time to "undo the I do", contact Patricia and her team at Meriwether & Tharp, LLC.

There was a lot of "unknowns" for the sake of even thinking about divorce. Patricia, made the process seem so easy and seamless. Fortunately, with my situation we agreed and had the ability to be "amicable" and "uncontested" from the start. Those words are nothing in a divorce process until the pen meets the paper. I am so glad that I had a true professional driving this process from the beginning. I know Patricia was super busy when I made the call to her, but her and the team made me feel as if I was a priority divorce case. They all were all very patient during this stressful time. They were able to articulate each step clearly so I understood what to do and when. They were organized and had superb time management. Even down to the formal legal documents, it was easy to understand making it even easier for the oposing side to not think they were being tricked in anyway. The entire process was handled electronically, with the exception of any notarized signatures I had to hand deliver.

Don't have a second thought for anyone else if you are facing divorce. Call Patricia at Meriwether & Tharp LLC. She gets the job done!!!

Thanks again to my team that helped me be happily single in 31 days!!!

My life was in a mess in my marriage and Leh Meriwether helped turn things in the right direction. His calm demeanor put me at ease and his staff was always so friendly. I'd certainly recommend him if you must get a divorce. He'll suggest solutions and advise on what is best for you. Great service!

David Canale and his team did an amazing job for me with my divorce. It had some complications, and they guided me through and made me feel comfortable throughout the experience. If ever I had a worry or a question they answered it in a way that I felt comfortable and understood the legal part of it. I highly recommend their team.

They are the Best Blake is the 100% Winner if you want a very good Attorney Then go for them

I retained Leh Meriwether & Tharp and his family law firm for an uncontested divorce from my now ex-wife after reading the reviews on AVVO and a phone consultation with Leh when he explained the process to me. In our talk he convinced me that his firm was more than capable of handling my case. After submitting the requested information his team prepared all the necessary documents needed to file for divorce. This happened in a very fast and efficient manner. His staff was all very helpful and communicated every step of the proceedings and answered all of my open questions. They also guided me through the final negotiations with my now, ex-wife, of open subjects. To my satisfaction the final judgement was made by the judge after just three months of starting the process. I was impressed by the proficiency with their dealings with all parties involved. They ran just a little over what I had in mind as my spending budget. Billing was very easy to understand. I would retain M&T for future divorces again, but certainly don't hope I have to.

I worked with Andrew Weegar and Carly Shipp to get my divorce settled this year. The process is stressful, but Andrew and Carly were both wonderful. I'm a person that needs a lot of information to help alleviate my anxiety and worry. As someone who sends a lot of long, rambling emails, I can attest to the fact that someone who goes line by line answering each question and giving more information than is necessary is rare. This is something Andrew and Carly each did for me. They put my mind at ease over and over throughout the process by listening and responding thoughtfully. Andrew walked me through every step of the way and has a very calming demeanor. Carly is very responsive and thorough in her work. Working with her was awesome. I felt like she understood where I was coming from and genuinely wanted to help. I'm happy with both my settlement and my representation.

No one expects that they will be in a custody litigation, or I know I never did. Blake made the entire process much easier on me and was supportive but direct. We found a solution that was in the best interest of my son and his needs, and that's all I could have asked for.

The 5 stars are for Ciara. What an asset to their company. I am out of state looking for a firm to help me with my grandparents rights and one call to her and she made me believe in their firm. We had to reschedule a few times, Ciara was in constant contact with me, assuring me that I had nothing to worry about. We discussed my wants, retainer amounts, etc. When I received my contract I did not read it completely, I thought all I needed was my retainer, well when I arrived at their office the receptionist said I needed to pay $xxx for consultation, I explained to her that I only had the retainer and she said she would take that too. I sat for a moment contemplating what had transpired and decided not to use them. The receptionist said "ok" and turned around, definitely not what I expected after Ciara. After I left I did receive calls from the attorney and Ciara both telling me that she was incorrect, the consultation fee would be waived if I used their company. Unfortunately I had already obtained other council but should the need ever arise I would use their firm.

My team at Meriwether & Tharp Woodstock is the best team out there. I was always made to feel like my case was important and they were always there for me things got emotional and impossible. Mr. Meriwether, Andrew, Carly, Jennifer, Jessica, Amy, David, Julianne, Blake and Courtney all were very professional and friendly and I felt completely supported and defended. Thank you so much team for all that you've done for me and my family. I feel like I couldn't have done it without you!

I am always concerned engaging lawyers for any reason. There is a stigma that exists around the fact that they are looking for ways to push an agenda. I must say working with Patrick and then primarily Andrew that was not the experience I had at all. They took one of the tough decisions in my life and were supportive of my wishes and ensured I got what I wanted without causing anymore pain or torment than you would expect from this type of issue. I would encourage anyone looking for someone to help them through the rocky waters of a divorce reach out to this team. As much as I loved them I hope I never have a reason to call them again, but feel confident that if I do they will honor my wishes and make them come true. Dare I call them a genie in a bottle!?!

Andrew Weegar and team continuously walked me through the entire legal process from start to finish. I was left with no unanswered questions throughout the divorce. I couldn’t have expected better representation.

I absolutely DO NOT recommend using this law firm for doing a contested divorce. They always want to settle and not fight even after they rack up a 17k bill. My lawyer Laura Hoskins dumped me 7 days before my Trial bc i ran out of $$$.... I lost everything

Patrick was more than happy to help when I was referred to him from a friend. Not only did he steer me in the right direction, but he also helped coach me about the law, but emotional support as well. There is much more to child custody than just the law and Patrick fully understands that!

David Canale is a true class act at everything he does. He is extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and is more then respected throughout the Cobb & Cherokee County Courts. David's exceptionally strong eye for detail has been a benefit to me in more than one occasion . David also has a very calm demeanor that was a blessing for me in and out of the courtroom.

This is a large law firm that will help in family law matters but I found them to be overly aggressive and didn't feel like they listened to me. They had their own agenda. The retainer fee was one of the more expensive ones out of the firms I talked to.

I have enjoyed working with them the past few months! Carly and Brandi have been super nice and helpful. The reviewer below my review didn't even hire this firm, and they were very helpful to him as well. Obviously, divorce (especially, when children are involved) is not typically a speedy process. But, ours took a little less than 6 months. And, it sure did help to have their advice and to also have them navigate all of the paperwork and processes involved. I would recommend!

Do not use them if you are trying to have a speedy uncontested divorce. It has taken MONTHS to even get paperwork to sign and we still don't have a case number. Don't hire them if you actually have a life and need to continue with it, they have no regards for time. They literally deserve 0 stars.

When faced with a situation that feels like no one can help, it's critical to choose the right representation. Leh and his team are passionate about giving their clients first class service as they guide them towards achieving the best possible outcome for their case. I highly recommend Meriwether & Tharp.

Leh and his team helped me through a really tough divorce. It was one of those cases that took a long time to get through and even involved a Guardian ad Litem. But, after many battles, we were able to finally get it resolved without trying the case in front of the Judge. I was very happy with the final agreement that was reached. His team fought hard for me, which sometimes meant telling me things I did not want to hear. He helped me work through the mess instead of fighting everything my ex threw at me. It is all too easy to get swept away in the emotions of the situation, and that is when Leh’s team would help me work through the emotions so I did not do something stupid that could hurt my case. Even though it was not pretty during the divorce, my ex and I actually get along now for the kids. Despite the sometimes ugly aspect of the divorce, however, my ex has even referred Leh some cases herself!

My experience with Meriwether & Tharp was absolutely wonderful! I felt like I was in good hands when they were handling my difficult case. They maintained professional and calm when dealing with the opposing lawyer that would become very rude and hyper. I would recommend this firm to anyone in need of these services!!

The day I arrived at the office in Alpharetta I was absolutely at the end of my rope. I left with some light at the end of the Tunnel. Georgetta and her team did a great job on the consultation and the follow up. I felt a lot of pressure off my shoulders after I left.

Attention to detail is important, but during a divorce it is extremely difficult to maintain focus. The process seems overbearing and consuming, seemingly designed to destroy both parties involved. Emotions run high, and good judgement is elusive as confidence erodes. I can honestly say that the best decision made was to engage Meriwether & Tharp.
This is a special thanks to all of the staff involved. Their professionalism, courtesy, attention to detail and sound advice helped me stay grounded. They guided me through the complicated process, always striving to ensure the best possible outcome. I highly recommend this team!
To Leh, Andrew, Carly and Amy...
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. I am so happy that you were in my corner!

Leh Meriwether and his team routinely provide excellent counsel and go that extra mile to make sure that the best possible outcome for the whole family is the primary goal. He not only handled my mediation, but will routinely help with critical answers when I need them. My children have directly benefited from his good advice and I have been able to avoid a lot of unnecesary conflict and stress.

If you have to deal with divorce, his team is the one you want on your side.

Meriwether & Tharp and everyone who works with this group have always been extremely professional and available. They answered all my questions promptly and really took the time to walk me through the process.

We are so happy with their service and will be continuing to use them in the future.
Highly recommended to everyone.

I was never married to my ex, we had actually had a child together and were fighting over custody of my daughter. A year up until we went to mediation my ex never paid child support instead only spend approximately $200 a month on diapers, wet wipes and formula and I paid for her child care and other essentials by myself including a house for us to live in and not once did he help. I never once withheld my daughter from my ex, he got see her twice a week with an over night stay. He got jealous of the man I was with and decided to take me to mediation to "protect his rights to his child." I was scared, especially since with him not paying child support and helping with anything he had a lot more money than I did to go through with everything. He only started helping to make himself look good just in case we had to go to court. I researched lawyers around my area when I finally came up with enough for a retainer and found Meriwether and Tharp. Mr. Leh Meriwether and his wonderful staff at the Woodstock location were extremely helpful in my situation both financially and tactfully. They never once hindered my case when I couldn't come up with the money, like my ex's lawyer did. Instead they carried through and helped me out in so many ways. They were not once nasty to the opposing party but were firm with the whole situation. In situations like mine when the relationship between the two opposing parties was a horrible one before separation, it is hard to be mutual, respectful and cordial with one another. Mr. Leh and his staff taught me how to talk to my ex and how to handle situations in a very tactful and respectful way instead of being rude or very ugly. After the visitation mediation my ex and his lawyer went "quiet" and never once pursued to schedule the child support mediation hoping I would give up or run out of money. Mr. Leh and his staff then took action against them, filing a Motion to Compel and setting up a time on the Calendar for a court hearing. In the end my ex broke down and gave up some of his visitation time and now has to pay the amount of Child Support he should of paid in the past, 55% of our daughters Child Care and having to pay half of my attorney fees for dragging the case for as long as he did. I could not have been any more pleased with this law firm for everything that they have done for me. They don't look at you just as a client but as a person as well. I highly recommend them to anyone who has been through the same situation as mine.

I have utilized the legal services of Meriwether and Tharp several times over the last six years and I have always been completely satisfied with the outcome. In divorce and child custody there really is no 'winner', but I've always come out of my situations better than I could have hoped, due in large part to Leh Meriwether and Elizabeth Doak. They seem to know when to fight and when to compromise and the results have always been in my best interests. I cannot recommend them enough and will continue to utilize their services when the need arises. Thank you Leh and Elizabeth for all your help and guidance.
