Atlanta Divorce Law Group Strengthens Family Law Practice with Addition of Experienced Litigator Jim Powers

The Atlanta Divorce Law Group has expanded its legal team with the addition of Jim Powers as senior attorney, bringing more than ten years of courtroom and litigation experience to the firm's family law practice. Powers joins the firm with a background that includes serving as an Assistant District Attorney prosecuting felony cases involving domestic violence and crimes against children across multiple judicial circuits. This prosecutorial experience provides him with unique insights into family law cases involving domestic violence victims and children, anchoring his advocacy in these sensitive domestic matters.

Most recently, Powers served in the Northeastern Judicial Circuit handling complex matters from initial assignment through jury trial. He previously led a Special Victims Unit focused on sexual offenses, domestic violence, and crimes against children, and supervised younger prosecutors in the Western Judicial Circuit. Before joining Atlanta Divorce Law Group, Powers devoted his practice to family law in private practice at respected Atlanta-area firms and through his own firm, J. Powers Law, LLC, where he represented clients in complex divorce, custody, and support matters.

Sara Khaki, Founding Partner of Atlanta Divorce Law Group, emphasized the significance of Powers' background, stating that his depth of trial experience gives him a unique perspective in family law. Powers approaches every case with a clear focus on advocating for those whose voices are often unheard, according to Khaki.

Powers credits his prosecutorial background for sharpening his trial advocacy and strategic case-building skills, making him exceptionally well-equipped to handle contested divorces, child custody disputes, child support matters, legitimation actions, and high-asset cases. He noted that prosecuting difficult cases involving family harm helps him guide clients through conflict with clarity and resolve. The goal is always to help families reach what the firm calls a Happily Ever After Divorce, where fighting ends and everyone can move forward stronger.

This addition to the Atlanta Divorce Law Group team represents a strategic strengthening of the firm's capabilities in handling complex family law matters, particularly those involving domestic violence and child protection issues. Powers' background in both prosecution and private family law practice provides clients with an attorney who understands the legal system from multiple perspectives, potentially offering more comprehensive representation in sensitive family law matters that require both legal expertise and understanding of interpersonal dynamics.
