Kessler & Solomiany LLC

Kessler & Solomiany LLC stands as one of the most prestigious and accomplished family law firms in Georgia and the nation. Based in Atlanta, the firm has distinguished itself through exceptional legal representation, consistent professional recognition, and unparalleled expertise in high-net-worth divorce and complex matrimonial law. With more than thirty attorneys and staff members dedicated exclusively to family law, Kessler & Solomiany represents one of the largest and most sophisticated family law firms in the Southeast.

The firm was founded in 1991 by Randall M. Kessler, a visionary family law attorney whose leadership and expertise have shaped the firm's identity and driven its remarkable success. Kessler received his undergraduate degree from Brandeis University in 1985 and earned his Juris Doctor from Emory University School of Law in 1988. His legal education at one of the nation's most respected law schools provided excellent preparation for the sophisticated practice of high-net-worth divorce and complex family law.

Since founding the firm in 1991, Randall Kessler has become one of Georgia's most recognized and accomplished family law attorneys. He has been selected annually as a Top 100 Super Lawyer and recognized as a Top 10 Super Lawyer in Georgia—distinctions that reflect his consistent excellence and standing among Georgia's finest legal practitioners. Kessler holds a perfect 10.0 rating on Avvo, the legal peer review platform, reflecting the highest possible assessment of his legal competence and professional conduct.

Kessler's professional achievements extend beyond client representation. He has been honored as a Fellow of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, an exclusive designation reserved for matrimonial law attorneys of the highest caliber who have demonstrated exceptional competence, integrity, and dedication to the field. Furthermore, Kessler has held major leadership positions within the legal profession, serving as Chair of the Family Law Section of the American Bar Association, Chair of the Family Law Section of the State Bar of Georgia, and Chair of the Family Law Section of the Atlanta Bar Association. These leadership roles reflect the respect and confidence that his peers place in his judgment, expertise, and commitment to advancing the field of family law.

Marvin L. Solomiany serves as co-managing partner of Kessler & Solomiany. Solomiany has devoted his entire legal career to family law practice, working exclusively in this specialized field for more than twenty-five years. He has been recognized as a Top 10 Super Lawyer in Georgia, reflecting his exceptional skill and standing in the legal community. Solomiany has served as the former chair of the State Bar of Georgia Family Law Section, a leadership role that recognizes his expertise and contributions to the legal profession.

Together, Randall Kessler and Marvin Solomiany have built one of the Southeast's most respected and capable family law firms. The firm's depth of experience is remarkable: with more than thirty attorneys and professional staff dedicated exclusively to family law, Kessler & Solomiany represents a concentration of family law talent and expertise that is rare in the legal profession. Many law firms practice family law as only one practice area among several; Kessler & Solomiany practices exclusively in the family law field, allowing every attorney and staff member to develop deep, focused expertise.

The firm's practice is concentrated on high-net-worth divorce and complex matrimonial law—the most sophisticated and challenging family law matters. High-net-worth divorces involve substantial assets, complex financial structures, and significant financial implications. These cases demand attorneys with exceptional skill in financial analysis, asset valuation, tax implications, and strategic negotiation. Kessler & Solomiany's experience in handling Atlanta's most affluent divorcing clients has given the firm unparalleled expertise in these sophisticated matters.

Asset division represents a core focus area. The attorneys at Kessler & Solomiany are skilled in identifying all marital property, understanding the nature and value of complex assets (including businesses, professional practices, investment portfolios, and real property), and advocating for fair distribution of those assets in accordance with Georgia law. The firm's attorneys understand that asset division in high-net-worth cases frequently involves questions about business valuations, tax implications, and the treatment of pre-marital property.

Alimony (spousal support) matters in high-net-worth divorces present unique challenges. The firm provides sophisticated counsel on spousal support matters, including temporary support during divorce proceedings and permanent or long-term support following divorce. In high-net-worth cases, alimony calculations can be extraordinarily complex and consequential.

Child custody and support matters receive thorough attention. The firm handles custody determinations, modifications of custody arrangements, and child support calculations. The attorneys recognize that custody arrangements profoundly affect children's lives and work to develop arrangements serving children's best interests while protecting parents' meaningful relationships with their sons and daughters.

The firm's services extend beyond adversarial litigation. The attorneys at Kessler & Solomiany are skilled in mediation—a process through which divorcing parties work with a neutral mediator to negotiate settlement of their dispute. Mediation often produces faster, less expensive resolutions than litigation and allows parties greater control over outcomes. The firm provides both mediation services (with Kessler or Solomiany serving as mediators) and representation of clients in mediations.

The firm also handles pretrial litigation—the discovery process, motion practice, and case development that occurs before trial. Complex family law cases frequently involve substantial pretrial litigation as attorneys investigate and challenge the other side's positions on property division, custody, or support.

When cases cannot be settled, the firm is prepared for comprehensive trial litigation. The attorneys at Kessler & Solomiany have exceptional trial skills developed through handling numerous high-net-worth divorce trials. Trial representation in sophisticated family law cases demands particular skill in presenting complex financial information to judges, in cross-examining expert witnesses, and in crafting persuasive legal arguments.

The firm also provides specialized services including Guardian Ad Litem evaluations (investigations of custody matters for the court) and custody evaluations (comprehensive assessments of parents' capabilities and children's needs).

Beyond representation in contested divorces, the firm provides comprehensive matrimonial law services including premarriage planning (prenuptial agreements), post-divorce planning, and sophisticated counsel on a wide range of family law issues. These services reflect the firm's comprehensive approach to serving clients' family law needs throughout their lives—not just during divorce proceedings.

Kessler & Solomiany's prominence in the Atlanta legal community is reflected in its representation of Atlanta's most affluent and accomplished citizens. The firm's clients include business owners, executives, professionals, and other high-net-worth individuals whose divorces involve substantial financial interests and require the most sophisticated legal representation.

Whether your case involves a high-net-worth divorce with substantial assets, complex asset division questions, business valuations, alimony disputes, custody matters, or any other sophisticated matrimonial law concern, Kessler & Solomiany offers the combination of experience, expertise, professional recognition, and resources that complex family law cases demand. The firm's more than thirty attorneys dedicated exclusively to family law, Randall Kessler's remarkable professional achievements and leadership positions, Marvin Solomiany's expertise and experience, and the firm's consistent recognition as one of the nation's premier family law firms all make Kessler & Solomiany the right choice for clients seeking the highest level of sophistication and skill in matrimonial law representation.
