Daniels & Rothman P.C.

Daniels & Rothman P.C. represents a distinguished and experienced approach to family law and criminal defense representation in the Athens, Georgia area. Established in 1995, the firm has served clients for nearly three decades, building a reputation for skillful representation, honest counsel, and genuine commitment to personal service. The firm is led by Gregory A. Daniels, a family law specialist with nearly thirty years of experience and extensive involvement in the legal community.

Gregory A. Daniels, the founding partner of Daniels & Rothman, practices family law exclusively, dedicating his entire professional practice to this specialized field. This focused approach has allowed him to develop deep expertise in the nuances of family law practice and to maintain comprehensive knowledge of the constantly evolving landscape of family law statutes, case law, and procedural rules.

Daniels earned his Juris Doctor from the University of Georgia School of Law in 1990, graduating from one of Georgia's most respected law schools. During his law school education, Daniels demonstrated commitment to developing trial and appellate advocacy skills by participating in both the University of Georgia Trial Competition Team and the Appellate Advocacy Competition Team. These competitive experiences provided valuable training in oral advocacy, case analysis, and the presentation of legal arguments—skills that remain central to effective legal practice.

Since graduating from law school in 1990, Gregory Daniels has maintained a legal practice continuously for more than thirty-four years, with the last twenty-nine years devoted to family law representation through Daniels & Rothman. This lengthy practice history reflects not only professional competence but also stability, commitment to clients, and deep roots in the Athens legal community.

Beyond his private practice, Daniels has served the legal community in important leadership roles. He has served as the chairman of the Western Judicial Circuit Family Law Section, a position that recognizes his expertise, judgment, and standing within the legal profession. As chairman of this judicial circuit section, Daniels would have been involved in addressing issues affecting family law practice in his judicial circuit, discussing best practices, and contributing to the professional development of other family law attorneys in the circuit.

Daniels & Rothman was established in 1995 and has now served the Athens community and surrounding areas for nearly three decades. The firm is located at 150 E Washington Street in downtown Athens, providing convenient access for clients throughout Clarke County and the surrounding region. The firm's address reflects its solid presence in the Athens legal community, where it has built relationships with judges, court personnel, and the legal profession over nearly thirty years of continuous operation.

The firm's family law practice encompasses the full range of family law services. The firm represents clients in divorce matters, whether contested or uncontested. Contested divorces involving disputes over property division, custody, or support receive careful litigation strategy and aggressive representation. Uncontested divorces, where both spouses have reached agreement on major issues, are handled efficiently while ensuring all legal requirements are met.

Child custody and visitation matters receive extensive focus. The firm recognizes that custody arrangements profoundly affect children's lives and parental relationships. The attorneys work to develop custody and visitation arrangements that serve children's best interests while protecting parents' meaningful relationships with their sons and daughters. The firm handles both initial custody determinations and modifications of existing custody arrangements when circumstances have changed.

Child support calculations are handled with careful attention to Georgia's child support guidelines and statutory requirements. The firm advocates for appropriate support levels based on each family's financial circumstances while ensuring that guidelines are properly applied.

Alimony and spousal support matters receive careful attention. The firm provides counsel on both temporary support (awarded during the divorce process) and permanent or long-term support following divorce. The attorneys understand the significant financial implications of alimony determinations and work to ensure that clients' financial interests are comprehensively protected.

Contempt and enforcement matters represent a specialized service area. When former spouses fail to comply with support orders or custody arrangements, enforcement action becomes necessary. The firm represents both those seeking to enforce court orders and those defending against enforcement actions, ensuring that court orders are respected and enforced in accordance with law.

Daniels & Rothman also maintains a criminal defense and DUI practice, complementing its family law representation. The firm handles a range of criminal matters, and particularly DUI cases, recognizing that criminal defense representation is as important to individual liberty as family law representation is to families' wellbeing.

What fundamentally characterizes Daniels & Rothman's approach to client representation is the combination of skillful legal work, honest counsel, and genuine personal service. The firm recognizes that clients coming to a family law attorney are frequently facing significant stress, uncertainty, and life change. The firm's approach emphasizes clear communication about both opportunities and challenges, honest assessment of cases' strengths and weaknesses, and strategic representation that protects clients' interests while allowing them to move forward constructively.
