J. Matthew Sanders LLC

J. Matthew Sanders LLC represents a modern, focused approach to family law practice in Macon, Georgia. Founded in 2022, the firm is the personal law practice of J. Matthew Sanders, a family law specialist with six years of exclusive experience in family law matters. Sanders established his firm specifically to focus entirely on Georgia family law, allowing him to develop comprehensive expertise in the nuances of family law practice and to provide personalized attention to each client.

J. Matthew Sanders returned to Macon in 2022 with his family to establish J. Matthew Sanders LLC, reflecting a deliberate choice to bring his family law expertise back to Middle Georgia and to serve the Macon community. This return to his home community reflects Sanders' commitment to local practice and genuine investment in serving local clients.

Sanders brings six years of exclusive family law experience to his practice—a focused background that has prepared him to handle all dimensions of Georgia family law. During law school, Sanders developed early understanding of legal practice by interning with judges at the Bibb County Superior Court and the Georgia Court of Appeals. These judicial internships provided valuable perspective on how judges analyze legal issues and conduct court proceedings, insights that enhance Sanders' effectiveness in representing clients before the bench.

Following law school, Sanders began his legal career in private practice focusing exclusively on family law. He worked initially at the Law Firm of Carmel W. Sanders, where he developed expertise in family law representation through hands-on practice. During his professional development, Sanders also practiced family law in Boulder, Colorado at the firm of K. Scott Hamerslough, P.C., gaining geographic and practice experience outside his home state before returning to Macon.

Throughout his professional practice, Sanders has maintained an exclusive focus on family law, dedicating his entire practice to this specialized field. This focused approach has allowed him to develop deep expertise in Georgia family law statutes, procedural requirements, and case law. His six years of concentrated family law practice have prepared him to handle all dimensions of family law matters.

J. Matthew Sanders LLC operates as a sole practitioner firm, with Sanders personally representing each client. This model allows Sanders to provide individualized attention to clients' matters, ensuring that his clients work directly with him rather than being handed off to paralegals or junior attorneys. The sole practitioner model reflects Sanders' philosophy that quality legal representation requires personal attention and direct attorney-client relationships.

The firm's practice encompasses the comprehensive range of family law services. The firm handles divorce matters—both contested divorces involving disputes over property, custody, or support, and uncontested divorces where spouses have reached agreement. Sanders understands that divorce cases vary significantly in complexity and helps clients understand their options and develop strategy appropriate to their particular situations.

Child custody and support matters receive careful attention. The firm works to develop custody arrangements serving children's best interests while protecting parents' relationships with their sons and daughters. Child support calculations are handled with careful attention to Georgia's child support guidelines.

Alimony and spousal support represent another focus area. Sanders provides counsel on temporary alimony during divorce and permanent or long-term alimony following divorce, understanding the significant financial implications these determinations carry.

Paternity and legitimation matters—legal proceedings through which unmarried parents establish formal parent-child relationships—are handled by the firm. These matters, while sometimes straightforward, can involve complex questions about paternity, parental rights, and support obligations.

Contempt and modification proceedings are additional service areas. Contempt proceedings address violations of court orders regarding support or custody. Modification proceedings address changes to custody or support arrangements when circumstances have materially changed since the original court order.

Additional family law services include name changes and comprehensive counsel on all areas of domestic relations law. The firm also provides will preparation services, reflecting understanding that family law clients frequently have estate planning needs.

What characterizes J. Matthew Sanders LLC is Sanders' personalized approach to client representation. Sanders operates on the principle that quality family law representation requires direct attorney-client relationships, thorough understanding of clients' goals and circumstances, and strategic representation tailored to each client's unique situation. The firm's sole practitioner model ensures that each client receives Sanders' personal attention throughout the representation.

Sanders' six years of exclusive family law experience, his judicial internship background, his work in both Georgia and Colorado law practices, and his return to Macon to establish a firm dedicated to serving the local community all reflect his commitment to excellence in family law representation.
