The firm handles divorce, property division, mediation and arbitration, custody and parenting time, prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, alimony, paternity and legitimation, child support, and restraining and protective orders.

She has served in leadership roles with the State Bar of Georgia Young Lawyers Division Family Law Committee and the Atlanta Bar Association, and she has been involved with the Weltner Family Law Inn of Court.

Katie B. Connell has received recognition including Georgia Trend Legal Elite selections, Atlanta Magazine Super Lawyers and Rising Stars listings, and Fulton Daily Report On the Rise recognition. She was named to the Georgia Commission on Child Support and has served in professional leadership and educational roles.
