Atlanta Divorce Law Group has announced the appointment of Jim Powers as Senior Attorney, leveraging his extensive background as a prosecutor in domestic violence and child protection cases to strengthen the firm's family law practice. Powers brings more than a decade of high-stakes courtroom experience to the firm, which focuses on divorce, custody, support, and other domestic matters.
Powers began his legal career as an Assistant District Attorney, prosecuting felony cases involving domestic violence and crimes against children across multiple judicial circuits in Georgia. Most recently, he served in the Northeastern Judicial Circuit, handling complex matters from initial assignment through jury trial. He previously led a Special Victims Unit focused on sexual offenses, domestic violence, and crimes against children, and supervised younger prosecutors in the Western Judicial Circuit.
Before joining Atlanta Divorce Law Group, Powers practiced family law at respected Atlanta-area firms and through his own firm, J. Powers Law, LLC. There, he represented clients in complex divorce, custody, and support matters. His prosecutorial background has sharpened his trial advocacy and strategic case-building skills, making him well-equipped to handle contested divorces, child custody disputes, child support matters, legitimation actions, and high-asset cases.
“Jim's depth of trial experience, especially in domestic violence and child protection matters, gives him a unique perspective in family law,” said Sara Khaki, Founding Partner of Atlanta Divorce Law Group. “He approaches every case with a clear focus on advocating for those whose voices are often unheard.”
Powers credits his prosecutorial background for his ability to guide clients through conflict with clarity and resolve. “I've prosecuted some of the most difficult cases involving family harm, which helps me guide clients through conflict with clarity and resolve,” Powers said. “The goal is always to help families reach a true Happily Ever After Divorce, one where fighting ends and everyone can move forward stronger.”
Atlanta Divorce Law Group is a boutique family law firm based in Alpharetta, Georgia, founded by attorney Sara Khaki. The firm helps individuals and families navigate divorce, custody, support, adoption, and related matters with clarity, strategic guidance, and compassion. The addition of Powers is expected to enhance the firm's ability to handle high-conflict cases and advocate for vulnerable clients. For more information, visit atlantadivorcelawgroup.com.
