Family Law Attorney in Braselton, GA
Offices in Barrow & Gwinnett Counties. Serving All Four Counties Braselton Spans.
Braselton is one of the few municipalities in Georgia that crosses four county lines: Barrow, Gwinnett, Hall, and Jackson. That jurisdictional reality matters when you’re filing for divorce, pursuing custody, or establishing parental rights. We’re Mitchell & Crunk Law Firm, and we have offices in both Barrow County and Gwinnett County, giving us established familiarity with the courts that handle most Braselton family law matters. We also serve clients in the Hall and Jackson County portions of the area, including Hoschton residents whose cases are heard in Jackson County Superior Court.
Our practice covers the full range of family law, alongside estate planning and personal injury. Whatever brings you to us, you won’t need to explain your situation to a different firm if your needs expand.
Ready to talk with a family law attorney in Braselton? We offer free 20-minute consultations, same-day appointments, and flexible payment plans. Call us at (678) 701-6252 or reach out online to get started.
Our Approach to Family Law
Family law matters are rarely just legal problems. They carry real emotional weight, and the decisions made during the process shape lives well beyond the courtroom. We bring both compassion and a solutions-oriented mindset to every client’s situation, and we don’t treat any two cases the same.
We take time to help clients understand their options before any decisions are made. That educational approach isn’t just a courtesy: it’s how you make informed choices when the stakes are high. From there, we investigate thoroughly, build a strategy around your specific circumstances, and work toward the most favorable outcome available.
Our clients have noted our responsiveness, our performance in court, and the culture of the firm. That feedback reflects what we work to deliver every day for families in the Braselton and Hoschton communities.

Common Questions from Braselton and Hoschton Families
How Do I Know Which County Court Handles My Case?
Your filing county is determined by your residential address within Braselton’s boundaries. If you live in the Barrow County portion, you file in Winder. Gwinnett County residents file in Lawrenceville. Hoschton residents and those in the Jackson County portion of Braselton file in Jackson County Superior Court. We can help you identify the right court before you take any steps.
Does Georgia Divide Marital Property Equally in a Divorce?
No. Georgia follows equitable distribution, meaning a court divides marital property fairly based on the circumstances of the marriage, not automatically in half. What’s considered “equitable” depends on factors like each spouse’s contributions, earning capacity, and the length of the marriage.
If My Name Is on the Birth Certificate, Do I Have Custody Rights?
Not automatically. In Georgia, being listed on a birth certificate doesn’t give an unmarried father the right to custody or visitation. A legitimation action must be filed in the appropriate superior court to establish those rights legally. We handle legitimation matters for clients throughout the Braselton area.
What If My Circumstances Have Changed Since My Original Court Order?
Court orders for custody, support, and alimony can be modified when there’s a substantial change in circumstances. We handle modification and enforcement matters for clients whose original orders were issued anywhere in the four counties Braselton spans.
