Finding a lawyer in Brookhaven

Brookhaven sits in DeKalb County, an intown Atlanta suburb along the Buford Highway corridor, and legal matters that start here are generally handled in the DeKalb County Superior Court and related county courts in Decatur, the county seat. The city is home to Oglethorpe University and to one of the region's most internationally diverse commercial corridors, which shapes a legal market covering real estate, immigration and small business work alongside the family and injury matters common to any Atlanta suburb.

Choosing a law firm in Brookhaven

Every lawyer practicing in Georgia must belong to the State Bar of Georgia, and its online directory is where you check license status and any public discipline before hiring.

Ask how many cases like yours the firm has handled recently in DeKalb County, and who at the firm will actually manage your file day to day. Get the fee arrangement in writing before any work starts — contingency fees are typical for injury claims, while family, real estate and immigration matters are usually billed hourly or at a flat rate.

Free and low-cost help

DeKalb County residents with limited income can turn to Atlanta Legal Aid Society for housing, family and benefits matters. The Atlanta Bar Association runs a lawyer referral service that pairs callers with attorneys for a reduced initial fee, and Atlanta-area law school clinics take on supervised cases for people who qualify. Anyone facing criminal charges who cannot afford a lawyer is entitled to a court-appointed public defender.
