Laura, Kelly, Kate, and the entire team at DRA were great to work with as we did estate planning. They took the time to explain all of the documents and what they meant for our situation. I would recommend their services to anyone seeking help with estate planning.

Practice areas built around local needs
Real estate, probate, business law, HOA guidance, and mediation in Canton
Our work is organized around the legal issues that come up most often for people living and working in North Georgia. Each practice area is led by attorneys who understand the local courts, the local market, and the kinds of challenges people face in Cherokee County and North Georgia.
Our practice areas.
We approach every legal matter with a broad perspective and a sharp focus, integrating insights across our practice areas to deliver unparalleled results for our clients.
Georgia requires an attorney at residential closings, and having a local real estate lawyer involved early can prevent delays or surprises. We handle closings, contracts, and property disputes for buyers, sellers, investors, and businesses across Cherokee County and nearby communities. Learn more about our real estate law services if you are preparing for a closing or dealing with a property conflict.
When a loved one passes away, the probate process can feel overwhelming. We guide executors, beneficiaries, and families through estate administration and help resolve disputes if conflict arises. We also work with individuals and families to draft wills and trusts that reflect their wishes and make things easier for those they care about.
From new LLC formations to contract drafting and business disputes, we help entrepreneurs and established companies make sound legal decisions. Many of our business clients are based in downtown Canton, the I 575 corridor, and growing areas of Woodstock and Holly Springs.
HOA issues are common in North Georgia neighborhoods. We represent both homeowners associations and individual homeowners in covenant enforcement, board governance questions, collections matters, and disputes over rule enforcement.
When parties want a private, efficient way to resolve a dispute, mediation is often the best path. Our attorney mediators help settle real estate, business, and HOA conflicts with professionalism and neutrality, and we make scheduling straightforward.

Georgia Law Restricting Hemp Industry Goes Into Effect
Story by Andrés Fuentes
States around the country have attempted to establish a coherent regulatory framework regarding products that contain tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive compound found in cannabis plants. While recreational use of cannabis is prohibited under Georgia law, there are some cities, including Atlanta and Athens, that have passed decriminalization ordinances reducing the penalties in most small-amount possession cases to minor fines.
"Stephen is an asset to our company. He skillfully reviews and negotiates multimillion-dollar contracts, he artfully drafts subcontracts and leases, and he has successfully represented us in court and before municipal boards. He is an accomplished lawyer that is always there when we need him. He is our confidant and friend."
Furino & Sons Inc. (Brothers Four)
"It is truly our pleasure to recommend Stephen to any individual or corporation looking for highly skilled legal counsel. He has represented us on a variety of corporate legal matters and he is a master with both contract and lease negotiations, always offering exceptional strategic advice. More recently, he represented us in front of the Township Planning Board and helped us achieve our desired results when it seemed impossible. We highly endorse Stephen both personally and professionally."
HEC Holding Co., LLC
"Stephen has successfully represented our company’s interests in several matters involving intricate fact patterns and novel legal theories. In one, a particularly aggressive plaintiff was convinced by Stephen to voluntarily dismiss a lawsuit in which it sought significant monetary damages. These favorable outcomes have resulted from Stephen’s thorough and careful review of all facts and circumstances and his dedication to the best interests of his client. In every matter in which we have retained Stephen he has sought to obtain the best possible result in the shortest possible time. We recommend Stephen without reservation."
