Kevin Markers
With 16 years of practice and more than 500 family law cases behind me, I’ve navigated every kind of challenge: contested high-asset divorces, complex property divisions, and contentious custody disputes. Through it all, I’ve learned that the outcome is determined by meticulous preparation.
At Tannen Law Group, I apply that same principle to every client across Johns Creek, Alpharetta, Cumming, and North Georgia. Whether you’re a business owner safeguarding your assets in a divorce or a parent fighting for your child’s future, your case receives the same dedicated focus and urgency as if my own family were involved.
The Essential Role of Attorneys in Society
The true power of the legal profession lies in its capacity to protect and serve the most vulnerable members of our community. This duty is especially critical in family law, where cases determine personal safety, child welfare, and future stability.
Attorney David R. Tannen lives this principle through dedicated pro bono service with organizations like the Atlanta Volunteer Lawyers Foundation and Georgia Legal Services. He provides expert legal representation to survivors of domestic violence, ensuring access to justice is a right for all, not a privilege. This commitment to serving the underserved, alongside his skilled advocacy, fulfils the law’s highest purpose as an instrument of protection and justice for everyone.
