  • Better Connection

    There is more to family law than lawyers, judges, and court rooms. There is a human side – and we recognize that our clients are going through life-changing situations. Which is why we value strong human connection.

  • Better Communication

    When going through a divorce or family legal dispute, fear and stress can be overwhelming. And when you are kept in the loop with timely updates, the stress gets even worse. Which is why we value excellent communication.

  • Better Relationships

    The process of divorce or family legal proceedings from beginning to end requires understanding, trust, and shared hope. Those are also requirements of friendship. Which is why we value relationships with our clients.

Our team-based approach

We believe clients deserve better

Many firms hand off cases to junior associates and bury paralegals with work from multiple attorneys. We take a team-based approach to deliver a better client experience.

Advantages of a team-based approach:

  • Our clients never get shuffled around from person to person.
  • Our clients stay with the same dedicated team from beginning to end.
  • Our clients stay in the loop with better communication about their proceedings.
  • Our clients develop deep trust with their legal team, often considering them friends.

Reviews from our clients

What real clients say

    Lance was an excellent attorney referred to me during my modification of child support with my ex. He was very knowledgeable, quick to answer my emails or phone calls and obviously paid attention in algebra class. He can run numbers and figure finances like no other. Would highly recommend and I’ve already referred someone to him!

    Angela Mullinax

    Jenni and Lance are phenomenal to work with. Their drive to help in any area of my divorce case was top notch. They truly care for not just you but your family involved.

    Ashley Harmon

    I'm very thankful to this firm. Each and every person I worked with was helpful, patient and kind. Carrie Owens represented me extremely well and I highly recommend her. They ensured it was a fair process and that I understood everything I needed to along the way. I can't say enough positive things.

    Alexandra McDaniel

    I definitely recommend Carrie Owen, she helped me through a divorce, she did a great job and everything went very well!! This process didn't take that long time. this was because of her dedication. She was always in contact with me, she was very respectful, very professional and always answered all my questions in this case.

    Hector Herrera

    I had a wonderful experience with attorney Lance Dutton. The thought of going through a divorce was overwhelming and stressful, but having Lance Dutton as my attorney made things go so smoothly. Lance was respectful of my concerns, prompt in his responses, and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this firm.

    Hilary Smith

    Carrie Owens of Brown Dutton & Crider was absolutely phenomenal !!!! Very knowledgeable and charismatic. Accomplished what was initially the plan and outcome. If I could give 10 stars I would.

    Rich Blackman

    Here’s the truth, I had no idea what kind of gold mine I had found when I hired Tracy Crider as my divorce attorney. She is amazing and can handle anything. I would recommend her to anyone! Thank you Tracy!!

    Katherine Smith

    I cannot begin to tell you what a fantastic job Jenni Brown did as my divorce attorney. Unfortunately I went through a horrible battle that included custody and me moving out of state. There’s more to the story than I would care to talk about but only because I was referred to Jenni from another friend who had used her before is how I got my life back together!

    April Landrum

    Best attorney in Marietta! Worked with these guys for about two years. They are responsive, knowledgeable and available to meet your legal needs.

    Bart Nunley
