About Shakhan & Wilkerson Law
At Shakhan & Wilkerson Law, we understand that family legal matters require more than just legal experience—they demand compassion, dedication, and individualized attention. As a boutique family law firm serving Metro Atlanta, Middle Georgia, and surrounding areas, we pride ourselves on delivering elevated, high-touch service that larger firms simply cannot match. Our practice focuses exclusively on contested matters, handling serious legal disputes where preparation for trial is required. We do not handle uncontested cases. Our practice encompasses all aspects of family law, including divorce and separation proceedings, custody arrangements, family agreements and planning, legal orders and enforcement, and even criminal defense when your family faces challenging circumstances.
What truly sets us apart is our commitment to accessibility—offering same-day consultations and flexible financing options because we understand that legal concerns don't wait for convenient timing. As a locally rooted, minority-owned, and family-guided firm, we bring unique perspectives and cultural understanding to each case we handle.
When you choose Shakhan & Wilkerson Law, you're not just hiring attorneys—you're gaining dedicated advocates who provide direct access and hands-on involvement throughout your entire legal journey. We accept a limited number of cases to ensure that we maintain a high level of attention and focus on the specific needs of each client. We recognize that no two family situations are identical, which is why we develop customized legal strategies tailored specifically to your unique circumstances and goals. Our approach is defined by compassionate, transparent representation coupled with clear and consistent communication, ensuring you're never left wondering about the status of your case or next steps. We deliberately maintain a boutique structure to guarantee that each client receives the personalized attention they deserve, rather than being treated as just another case number. If your case requires preparation for trial, we are the right firm.
Quality representation isn't just our promise—it's our standard practice, delivered with understanding and respect for the sensitive nature of family legal matters. When family challenges require legal solutions, trust Shakhan & Wilkerson to advocate for what matters most to you. Reach out to us today.
