Atlanta Divorce Law Group Adds Veteran Prosecutor Jim Powers as Senior Attorney

The Atlanta Divorce Law Group has significantly strengthened its family law practice with the addition of Jim Powers as Senior Attorney, bringing over a decade of high-stakes courtroom and litigation experience to the firm. Powers' unique background includes serving as an Assistant District Attorney, where he prosecuted felony cases involving domestic violence and crimes against children across multiple judicial circuits, including leading a Special Victims Unit focused on sexual offenses and domestic violence. This prosecutorial experience has anchored his advocacy in family law cases involving domestic violence victims and children, making him exceptionally well-equipped to handle contested divorces, child custody disputes, child support matters, legitimation actions, and high-asset cases.

According to Sara Khaki, Founding Partner of Atlanta Divorce Law Group, Powers' depth of trial experience gives him a unique perspective in family law, approaching every case with a clear focus on advocating for those whose voices are often unheard. Powers himself credits his prosecutorial background for sharpening his trial advocacy and strategic case-building skills, stating that his experience with difficult family harm cases helps him guide clients through conflict with clarity and resolve.

Powers Law, LLC, where he represented clients in complex divorce, custody, and support matters. His personal background as the second oldest of seven siblings in a large, close-knit family informs his deep value for relationships that endure beyond conflict. The firm's approach focuses on long-term well-being and informed decision-making, empowering clients to create their Happily Ever After Divorce® and move forward without regret, with Powers emphasizing the goal of helping families reach resolutions where fighting ends and everyone can move forward stronger.
