Damon Bivek, a founding partner of Smith Bivek Law Group, sparked his interest in Family Law while clerking for the Georgia Superior Court and Georgia Supreme Court Judges. “I enjoy family law because each case is unique and the practice of family law requires a well-rounded attorney. The best Family Law attorneys have expertise and experience in handling complex business issues, and also the compassion and understanding that is required when representing clients going through divorce with minor children.”
Damon loves working with children and is trained as a Guardian Ad Litem. He has protected and guided many clients to successful resolutions in their divorce. As a recent client states:
“Damon has the ability to see the real picture for his clients. He is not afraid to tackle the tough issues, but also focuses on what is right. In our case, the issue was joint custody and he did not back down. He fought for all the things that would allow the father equal time with his children, and focused on "the children" not on the parents. He showed genuine care for the children. He was empathetic, but firm with the steps that needed to take place. Damon genuinely cares about his clients.”
Damon Bivek has argued extensively in the Superior Courts in Fulton, Dekalb, Cobb, Paulding, Canton, Gwinnett and the Court of Appeals. He focuses his practice exclusively in the area of Family Law because “I love the practice of Family Law, and couldn’t picture myself doing anything else. There is nothing better than the feeling you get when you see someone walk out of a final divorce hearing smiling confidently, because they have a roadmap designed specifically for them that they know will lead them to independence and success. I aspire to instill in each of my clients, the confidence that comes from effective legal representation.”
When Damon is not in the Courtroom, he enjoys spending time with his Wife, golfing, traveling and playing with his Labrador Retreiver. Don’t let his calm assertive demeanor deceive you, as one client puts it: “He is definitely a lawyer I would want on my side, not against me in a tough battle.”
