Whether your divorce is contested, uncontested, or collaborative, we help protect your financial interests while working toward practical resolutions.
Experience creates perspective. After representing Georgia families for decades, our firm understands that no two family law cases follow the same path. Every family brings unique financial circumstances, parenting concerns, personal goals, and legal challenges. That is why every strategy we develop begins by understanding the people behind the case.
Since opening our doors in 1991, we have focused our practice on family law because we recognize how deeply these legal matters affect every aspect of our clients' lives. Our commitment has remained unchanged from the very beginning. We provide knowledgeable legal counsel, honest communication, and practical solutions designed around each client's individual circumstances rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach.
Attorney E. Noreen Banks-Ware has dedicated her career to helping Georgia families navigate legal transitions with confidence. Licensed since 1989 and practicing family law since 1991, she has represented thousands of individuals throughout every stage of the family court process.
Her career includes service as a Special Assistant Administrative Law Judge, admission to the Georgia Supreme Court and federal courts, certification in Collaborative Law, and recognition as a Master in the Charles Longstreet Weltner Family Law Inns of Court. Those credentials reflect not only longevity but a continuing commitment to excellence within Georgia's legal community.
Some firms treat cases as files. We treat every client as a person whose future deserves careful planning.
Family law often involves emotional decisions that affect parents, children, finances, businesses, retirement accounts, and long-term stability. We take time to understand each client's priorities before recommending a legal strategy because lasting solutions require more than legal knowledge. They require listening, preparation, and practical guidance. Our clients never receive generic advice. Instead, we build personalized legal strategies that reflect each family's unique goals while preparing for every possible outcome.
Many firms divide their attention among numerous legal disciplines. Our firm has spent decades concentrating on family law because these cases deserve focused experience.
Whether your divorce is contested, uncontested, or collaborative, we help protect your financial interests while working toward practical resolutions.
We assist parents with custody disputes, parenting plans, visitation issues, and modifications while keeping children's best interests at the center of every strategy.
Our firm represents parents seeking to establish, enforce, or modify child support orders throughout Georgia.

Alimony often becomes one of the most significant financial issues during divorce. We help clients pursue fair outcomes based on Georgia law and their individual circumstances.
Planning ahead can protect both spouses while reducing uncertainty in the future. We prepare customized marital agreements designed around each couple's financial goals.
Life changes. Court orders sometimes need to change as well. We help clients pursue modifications involving custody, support, visitation, and other family law matters.
Every family law dispute requires a different approach. Whenever productive negotiation offers an opportunity to resolve important issues efficiently, we help clients pursue meaningful agreements that protect their long-term interests. Attorney Banks-Ware's certification in Collaborative Law provides another option for families seeking a respectful, solution-focused process outside traditional litigation.
When litigation becomes necessary, however, we are fully prepared to advocate aggressively for our clients in Georgia courtrooms. Every case receives the same careful preparation because thoughtful planning creates stronger opportunities regardless of how a matter is ultimately resolved.
Professional recognition is earned over time through consistent service, ethical practice, and dedication to the legal profession.
Attorney Banks-Ware has served in leadership positions within numerous legal organizations, including the DeKalb Volunteer Lawyers Foundation, Georgia Association of Black Women Attorneys, and the Charles Longstreet Weltner Family Law Inns of Court. She has also received recognition for decades of pro bono service and community leadership while continuing to educate other attorneys through presentations and continuing legal education programs.
Our office proudly serves clients throughout:
No matter where you live throughout the greater Atlanta area, our goal remains the same: to provide experienced legal representation that helps you move forward with confidence.
Families trust our firm because experience alone is not enough. They want an attorney who prepares carefully, communicates honestly, understands Georgia family law, and remains focused on achieving practical solutions that protect their future.
For more than three decades, that philosophy has guided every case we have accepted. It continues to define the way we represent clients today.
