Practice Areas
 

Family Law / Divorce: For many people, cases concerning legal issues related to domestic relationships are especially difficult as they often deal with what matters to us most: family and children. We specialize in helping clients navigate issues such as divorce, alimony, legal separation, legitimation, custody, child support, and visitation.

In addition, we are certified by the International Academy of Collaborative Professionals to provide Collaborative Practice services to clients facing difficult or unconventional divorce. As Collaborative Practice experts, we assist a team of skilled and compassionate professionals to help you manage the many aspects of divorce—from legal issues and financial/property concerns to the emotional wellbeing of your children.

Business Litigation: We at Tisdale are well versed in the area of business law, and is especially attuned to the needs of Small Business owners. Generally speaking, we specialize in business litigation on such issues as contract disputes, lease disputes, debt collection, partnership disputes, and business dissolution.

Construction Litigation: A house is generally a homeowners' single most valuable financial investment; it is often an important emotional investment as well. More than bricks and mortar, your home is the place where you live, rest, and raise your family. Unfortunately, hundreds of thousands of unsuspecting homeowners realize their new homes suffer from some type of construction defect that will cost thousands of dollars to repair, depreciate the value of their home, or force them to leave their home. We specialize in construction defect issues and contract disputes to help you protect this most valuable asset. We also represent the interest of commercial and residential subcontractors, general contractors and owners.

Property Litigation: Dealing primarily with property line disputes, easements, title issues, and damage to property, we work with both residential and commercial clients to ensure that property issues such as these are resolved in your best interests.

Wrongful Death: When a person dies as the result of the negligence or misconduct of another individual, company or entity, we work on behalf of the decedent's immediate family members—usually surviving spouses and children, although sometimes parents—to represent your legal claim to compensation.

Personal Injury: An injury can be a life-changing event. In many instances, the defendant is represented by an insurance company with access to considerable resources dedicated to minimizing any and all claims against one of its policyholders. In response, we stand by our clients to ensure that they obtain the most advantageous and fair resolution possible.

Medical Malpractice: Medical malpractice cases arise when a patient is injured through the improper action (or inaction) of a healthcare professional or medical facility. Too often the consequences of medical malpractice are irreversible resulting in chronic pain, the loss of a limb, and permanent paralysis to name but a few. While respectful of the profession of medicine, we also recognize that there are instances in which liability must be assigned to not only protect the interests of our clients but to also ensure that others do not suffer from similar circumstances.

Criminal: Conviction of a crime can be life changing, and the defense against criminal charges must be thorough and aggressive. We represent clients charged with a variety of crimes, from serious felony charges to misdemeanors. We also represent clients in Juvenile Court , Traffic Court, and Magistrate Court for county ordinance violations.

Small Claims Court: In Georgia, a claim can be brought in Small Claims Court (Magistrate Court) seeking damages of up to $15,000.  For an affordable fee, Tisdale Law Firm represents clients in Small Claims Court for a wide variety of civil claims.  These include construction defect claims, personal injury, debt collection, breach of contract claims and property damage claims.
