About Traci Weiss
Weiss Family Law: Helping Georgia Families Navigate Divorce, Custody And Other Family Law Matters With Skill, Integrity And Compassion.
About Traci
With more than 20 years of experience in civil litigation, family law and domestic relations matters, Traci Weiss founded Weiss Family Law to provide Georgia families with experienced, compassionate and practical legal guidance. An AV peer-review rated* attorney through Martindale-Hubbell, she focuses exclusively on family law matters – including divorce, child custody, child support, alimony, property division, paternity and legitimation, annulment, stepparent adoptions, prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, enforcement of court orders and modification actions.
After nearly two decades with prominent Atlanta firms – including Warner Bates and Drew, Eckl & Farnham – Traci founded Weiss Family Law to provide her clients with a more personalized, compassionate and resolution-focused approach to achieving favorable, meaningful results. For her, family law is all about the people. She views every case as a unique opportunity to empower clients during some of life’s most challenging transitions with dignity and guides them toward resolutions that protect their interests and the best interests of their children while keeping their integrity intact.
In addition to her extensive experience as a Georgia family law and child custody attorney, Traci also serves as a guardian ad litem, appointed privately and through court programs including the Atlanta Volunteer Lawyers Foundation and the Cobb County courts. In this role, she serves as an officer of the court to investigate, represent the best interests of children and make crucial recommendations to the court in child custody disputes, helping families and judges reach fair, child-focused resolutions.
Balanced Advocacy: Litigation And Other Resolution Options
An experienced trial lawyer, Traci is always prepared to passionately advocate and fight for her clients and their families in court when needed. However, she also recognizes that many families benefit from creative problem-solving outside of the courtroom. She has extensive experience and training in mediation and other forms of alternative dispute resolution, and is committed to finding solutions that reduce conflict and promote long term stability.
Traci is a proud member and serves as the legal chair (and previously as the internal membership chair) of the Amicable Divorce Network (ADN), a global organization of vetted, resolution-minded professionals dedicated to helping couples divorce without unnecessary animosity. She is also a Certified Amicable Divorce Professional (CADP), with specialty designations in matters involving LGBTQ+ clients and families, as well as child-centered divorce and gray divorce.
