  • Keith fought for me.” And fighting for the truth is something attorney Prater takes to heart. “I try to be innovative and strategize my client's cases from an outside-the-box perspective leaving no stone unturned,” attorney Prater says of his legal philosophy. “An example is my use of a custody trial outline that addresses each of the 16+ custody issues set forth in the Georgia statute that a court is supposed to address in a custody hearing.” Prater has been using that outline for over a decade and has found that other attorneys have since copied the same approach

  • Tracy, a divorce client, says that attorney Prater “was firm yet compassionate.” Heather, a divorce client says that “he made the divorce process easy.” A 1987 graduate of the University of Alabama’s School of Law, attorney Prater is a student of the US Constitution, the law of Georgia, Federal practice law, and as importantly, a student of strategic planning and the construction of “paradigmatic success”
  • He will press forward and stick with you explaining to you in layman’s terms the details legally and factually of your particular legal matter. “This guy is whip smart, efficient, and kind,” a divorce client offered when asked about attorney Prater. “He is what lawyers should be, concerned about the merits of the case, the fight against injustice, and brave is an understatement.” Member of both Georgia and Alabama Bar Associations Member, The National Association Of Distinguished Counsel AVVO rated “Superb” Martindate-Hubbell BV-distinguished
