Meet Casey
After working for a family law attorney in her hometown of Thomasville, Georgia, Casey’s passion for helping families was ignited. After graduating from the University of Georgia, Casey officially began her legal career by joining one of the largest plaintiffs’ firms in the country where she helped countless clients obtain favorable results after experiencing disastrous accidents.
Upon graduating from law school and passing the bar exam, Casey dove headfirst into the practice of law by opening her own firm almost immediately, which is a little unusual for new lawyers. Why? Because Casey’s purpose and passion required redefining the traditional attorney-client relationship. Her representation begins with effective communication, clearly defined goals, and building trust – without breaking the bank.
Casey and her team handle a wide array of family law matters including divorce, child custody and support issues, modification and enforcement actions, adoptions, guardianships, grandparent rights, and more.
Casey is active within the Savannah community, most notably for her involvement as a Court-Appointed-Special Advocate (CASA), which is a dedicated activist for foster children navigating the juvenile justice system. Casey is a board member of Brightside Advocacy, which is the nonprofit that houses CASA.
When Casey isn’t assisting her clients, you’ll find her thrifting, antiquing, and spending time with her husband and many fur-children.
“I handle each case as if it were my own. My goal is for my client and their family to come out of this journey better than when they arrived, whether starting a new, solo chapter of their life or rewriting an older chapter with a coparent and a better ending than before.”
