Gentry Law Firm LLC

Gentry Law Firm LLC stands as a distinguished and accomplished family law practice in Marietta, Georgia, serving clients throughout the greater Atlanta metropolitan area. Founded in 1999 by William C. (Bill) Gentry, the firm was established with a compelling mission: to create a team of exceptional divorce lawyers dedicated to providing compassionate and strategic legal services to clients navigating family law challenges. More than two decades later, the firm has fulfilled this vision, establishing itself as a top-rated family law resource in the Marietta area.

William C. Gentry, the founder and owner of Gentry Law Firm LLC, brings an impressive foundation of education and extensive legal experience to family law practice. Gentry earned his bachelor's degree from the University of Virginia, graduating Phi Beta Kappa—one of the nation's most prestigious academic honors recognizing exceptional academic achievement. His undergraduate studies focused on economics through the University of Virginia's Economics Honors Program, providing sophisticated understanding of financial analysis and economic principles that remain valuable to family law practice, particularly in complex property division and support calculations.

Following his undergraduate studies at the University of Virginia, Gentry attended the University of Georgia School of Law, earning his Juris Doctor degree in 1986. His legal education from one of Georgia's premier law schools prepared him for a distinguished legal career. Since graduating from law school in 1986, Gentry has maintained a law practice continuously for nearly four decades—an extraordinary testament to his professional commitment and success.

Gentry founded Gentry Law Firm LLC in 1999, dedicating his practice specifically to family law and divorce representation. The firm was founded on the principle that clients deserve exceptional legal representation delivered with both strategic skill and genuine compassion. This foundational philosophy—combining aggressive legal advocacy with compassionate understanding of clients' circumstances—remains central to the firm's identity today.

The firm's depth of experience is substantial. While William Gentry alone brings more than three and a half decades of legal practice experience, the firm collectively represents over eighty years of combined legal experience. This depth of experience reflects not only the individual attorneys' professional histories but also the firm's commitment to maintaining a team of experienced legal professionals capable of handling the most complex family law matters.

Gentry himself has earned exceptional recognition from the legal community. He has been selected to Super Lawyers recognition, a prestigious designation reserved for attorneys who have demonstrated exceptional legal ability and earned the respect of their peers. Gentry holds a 10.0 "Superb" rating on Avvo, the legal peer review platform, reflecting the highest possible assessment of his legal competence and professional conduct based on peer evaluation. Additionally, Gentry holds an AV Preeminent peer review rating from Martindale-Hubbell, one of the oldest and most respected legal rating systems in the United States. The AV Preeminent rating reflects "very high to preeminent legal ability and very high ethical standards" and represents the highest peer rating available. Together, these multiple independent professional recognitions validate Gentry's position among Marietta's top family law attorneys.

Gentry Law Firm LLC's practice encompasses the complete spectrum of family law representation. The firm handles divorce matters ranging from uncontested divorces (where both spouses have reached agreement) to highly contested divorces involving substantial disputes. The firm's attorneys are experienced in trial litigation and skilled in both negotiation and courtroom advocacy.

Child custody and support represent critical practice areas. The firm works to develop custody arrangements serving children's best interests while protecting parents' meaningful relationships with their sons and daughters. Child support calculations are handled with careful attention to Georgia's guidelines while advocating for adjustments appropriate to each family's circumstances.

Alimony and spousal support are handled with the same strategic approach. The firm provides counsel on both temporary support during divorce and permanent or long-term support following divorce, understanding the significant financial implications these determinations carry.

Legal separation—an alternative to divorce—is another service area. Legal separation provides many of the same benefits as divorce (including separate property, custody determinations, and support arrangements) without dissolving the marital status. Legal separation may be appropriate for clients with religious or other reasons for preferring separation over divorce.

The firm has developed particular expertise in high-asset divorce cases, understanding that substantial assets, business interests, and complex financial structures require sophisticated analysis and strategic approach. The firm handles divorces involving business ownership, where questions about business valuation, characterization of business interests (marital versus separate property), and appropriate division of business assets demand specialized expertise.

Contempt and enforcement matters represent another service area. When former spouses fail to comply with court orders regarding support or custody, enforcement action becomes necessary. The firm represents both those seeking to enforce orders and those defending against enforcement actions.

Gentry Law Firm LLC serves clients throughout the greater Atlanta metropolitan area, including Marietta and surrounding counties including Cobb, Cherokee, Paulding, Fulton, Gwinnett, DeKalb, and Bartow counties. The firm's Marietta location at 254 Roswell Street NE provides convenient access for clients throughout the region.

The firm maintains office hours Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., ensuring accessibility for clients whose schedules require business hours availability.

What fundamentally characterizes Gentry Law Firm LLC is the combination of strategic legal expertise and compassionate client service. The firm recognizes that clients seeking family law representation are frequently facing significant stress, uncertainty, and life change. The firm's approach emphasizes both aggressive legal advocacy to protect clients' interests and genuine understanding of the emotional and life dimensions of family dissolution.

Whether you are facing divorce, custody disputes, support disagreements, legal separation, or any other family law challenge, Gentry Law Firm LLC offers experienced, skilled representation from attorneys who combine strategic expertise with compassionate understanding. William Gentry's nearly four decades of legal practice, his founding of the firm in 1999, his Super Lawyers selection, his Avvo 10.0 rating, his AV Preeminent peer rating, and the firm's over eighty years of combined experience all demonstrate the firm's commitment to excellence in family law representation.
