What a huge win to have Salmeh with you
Going through a divorce, especially one sprung on you, is a brutal experience. Somehow, Salmeh and her team make this as great an experience as it could be. She provides solid advice that's grounded, supportive, collaborative. Timelines, processes, next steps you both chart together, returning agency as you disconnect from the most important relationship in your adult life. Salmeh's approach was exactly right for me, my imperatives, my circumstances. Salmeh provided me with the support I needed that allowed me to confidently proceed with a process and an approach I felt was right. It's regrettable to need a divorce attorney, but wow, what a huge win to have Salmeh with you.

One of the Best Decisions I’ve Ever Made
I can't express enough gratitude to Salmeh Fodor. When I began my case, I was determined to find the best lawyer, no matter the time or cost. I spent hours reading reviews and researching the kinds of cases different attorneys had successfully handled. I even consulted with three other lawyers before speaking with Salmeh.
From the moment she called me and we spoke, I knew I had found the right person to represent me. Hiring her was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. In just a few months, my case was resolved in an incredibly efficient and successful manner (I wish I could share more details, but I prefer to keep them private).
If you’re seeking exceptional legal representation, I wholeheartedly recommend Salmeh Fodor. Trust me, you won’t regret it.

Compassionate and Surgical Attorney
After finding out my divorce lawyer was not licensed in the state of GA, I had to find a criminal and family lawyer for an initial hearing in 2 days. I came across KF Law while searching on Google to combat egregious (and false) accusations from my soon-to-be-ex, who was seemingly trying to get a one up in our divorce. After a quick initial consult, one of the partners introduced me to Kris Sargent, whom they described as a compassionate attorney. I don't think compassionate alone crystallizes the type of attorney Kris is.
Not only did he ingest vast amounts of information and evidence in record time with a short runway, he was equally dedicated to feeding me info, preparing me for all aspects of the hearing, answering my questions, and making sure I understood all the possible outcomes. And he knows his stuff; on the day of the hearing, it was clear his brain was bouncing with approaches overnight. After fulfilling his request for a document, he came back and explained another statute in our arsenal that he was going to present off the bat to get everything thrown out. When he met with the opposition's attorney and explained the statute, they weren't even familiar with it and started scrambling some. This was one of the many examples of his superior familiarity with the law. It wasn't long before they came back with an offer to throw everything out. Kris advised me that we could take this guarantee if I want, but I wanted to have my day at court and get reimbursed for attorney fees by the opposition. Kris is definitely compassionate, but if you need him to be a bulldog and things will still stay in your best interest, he is absolutely surgical with his approach. It was a challenging matter, with such little time to prepare, but things came out on top with my record scot-free, and I feel like it would not have played out like that had I worked with someone other than Kris.
Thanks for all the support and for getting things done, Kris! As much as I loved working with you, I don't hope to be in an akin situation like that again. But if for some reason I find myself or someone I know in need of a criminal and/or family lawyer, you're the first call!

I wholeheartedly recommend Calina Plotky
Hopefully, you will never need an appellate attorney, but if you do, I wholeheartedly recommend Calina Plotky. Her professionalism, integrity, and dedication to justice make her an invaluable asset to any legal team. There are many others who lack integrity and will take your money. Throughout our legal proceedings, Calina demonstrated a profound understanding of the complexities surrounding DV and child protection. Her deep knowledge of appellate law, combined with her compassionate approach, provided us with the support we needed. Calina's strategic thinking and clear communication were instrumental in presenting our arguments effectively.

I Could Not Have Prayed for a Better Partner
Calina Plotky, THANK YOU!
It goes without saying, through your professional experience you've seen it all. And while for you, there is nothing new under the sun; for me, divorce is, and has been, a disruptive, life-changing series of events. Still, you handled every obstacle, including a few of my own emotionally driven hiccups, with legal knowledge, professional strategy, and a cool head.
Leading into our working relationship, I expressed my apprehension as a Black father regarding my chances in a family court system that has a public reputation for adverse judgments against men. You, however, did not allow the public persona of the family courts to permeate my mind and instead helped me to stay focused on the facts of my case. You didn't attempt to sell me any inflated favorable outcome, and you answered every one of my questions with straightforward precision. And I had a LOT of questions.
Calina, I appreciate you treating ME like a real person, with real concerns. You never dismissed my concerns, and you showed strength when presenting me with less-than-favorable feedback. I could not have prayed for a better partner during an otherwise turbulent time in my life.
I also want to extend thanks to your paralegal, Tina Geiger, who worked diligently to keep me on task and on time with my responses, as well as Salmeh Fodor, who didn't hesitate to assist when you (Calina) were out of office. In our brief meeting, Salmeh gave me the kick in the butt I needed to stay in the fight and provided a good deal of knowledge to help me in my decision-making. To each of you, THANK YOU!
Calina, now that I am on the opposite end of my divorce journey, I am excited to recommend you and the KF Law team. As you can imagine, I am anticipating future conflicts with my ex. At least next time I won't have to interview a dozen attorneys. :-)
Good luck on your next case, and again, THANK YOU!

To adopt a child from foster care, begin by contacting your local child welfare agency. You will need to undergo a home study and complete training specific to the needs of foster children. These adoptions often have lower costs and may involve foster-to-adopt arrangements.
What is the first step in the adoption process?
The first step in the adoption process is to research the different types of adoption available and decide which one is right for you. This includes domestic, international, and foster care adoption. Once you've chosen a path, you typically need to complete a home study with a licensed adoption agency.
What legal requirements must be met for adoption?
Legal requirements for adoption vary by state and country. Generally, they include background checks, home studies, and proving your ability to care for a child. It's important to work with a legal professional to understand specific requirements applicable to your situation.
Can single individuals adopt a child?
Yes, single individuals can adopt a child. Adoption agencies and courts focus on the ability of a prospective parent to provide a stable and loving environment, regardless of their marital status.
