She strives to help them to understand the legal implications associated with their choices, and provide them with the information they need to make the best decisions for themselves and their families. In addition to being admitted into Georgia Superior Court, she is also admitted to practice in the Court of Appeals, the Georgia Supreme Court, and the United States District Courts for the Northern, Middle and Southern Districts. In her years of representing clients in family law cases, Georgetta has earned a reputation amongst her colleagues for being tough but caring, honest but shrewd, strong but sensitive.
