As Managing Attorney at Better Law, Adriana Gonzalez brings a strategic, solution-focused approach to every family law matter she handles. Her philosophy is simple: accomplish client goals quickly and cost-effectively through the most reasonable approach—but stand ready to aggressively pursue relief in court when necessary. This balanced strategy has earned her a reputation for achieving exceptional results in even the most complex and contentious cases.
Attorney Gonzalez understands that every case is unique, with its own facts, challenges, and client resources. That’s why she tailors every strategy specifically to the individual circumstances of each case, always centering her approach around accomplishing the client’s primary goals within the confines of the law.

Attorney Gonzalez’s academic excellence—graduating summa cum laude from Georgia State University—reflects the dedication and analytical rigor she brings to every case. Her education at the University of Georgia School of Law, one of the state’s most prestigious law schools, provided the foundation for her strategic legal thinking and courtroom success.
Attorney Gonzalez has achieved remarkable victories in some of the most challenging family law cases, including complex interstate custody disputes that spanned multiple years and jurisdictions.
In a particularly contentious case involving years of litigation across multiple states, Attorney Gonzalez represented a father whose child’s mother had fled New York to Georgia without notice, violating existing custody orders. Despite the mother’s continued refusal to comply with court orders, Attorney Gonzalez:
The court cited the mother’s “egregious alienating behavior and unnecessary litigious approach” in ruling in favor of Attorney Gonzalez’s client. Three years later, the father maintains primary custody, and Attorney Gonzalez continues to successfully defend against the mother’s baseless attempts to undo the court’s decision—with additional attorney fee awards following each dismissed motion.
In another complex interstate custody case, Attorney Gonzalez represented a father whose former partner had fled New York with their daughter, blocked all contact, and disappeared for years despite the father having sole legal and physical custody. The mother was arrested twice but still refused to return the child. The father worked tirelessly with missing persons hotlines, police reports, and detectives to locate his daughter—without success.
When the mother finally surfaced and filed for custody modification in Georgia, Attorney Gonzalez took immediate action:
The Result: The mother’s modification petition was dismissed, she was ordered to immediately return the child to the father’s custody or face arrest, and the father was awarded over $20,000 in attorney fees and litigation expenses. After years of no contact, father and daughter were finally reunited.
These victories demonstrate Attorney Gonzalez’s ability to navigate complex interstate litigation, anticipate opposing arguments, present compelling evidence, and achieve justice for clients facing seemingly insurmountable obstacles.
