Three years running. 🏆

Cauthorn Sanders & Schmidt has been voted Best of Georgia 2023, 2024, and 2025 and we don't take that lightly.

This recognition comes from the people we serve. Families navigating probate. Couples working through difficult divorces. Business owners protecting what they've built. Clients who needed a fighter in their corner for civil disputes, contract conflicts, and everything in between.

We're proud of what that sign represents. And we're proud to have it sitting right out front at 212 Church Street.

Thank you, Georgia. We'll keep earning it.

Every attorney has an origin story. This one belongs to Brittany Schmidt. 🐺⚖️

That framed newspaper clipping in the corner of our office? There's a story behind it.

In sixth grade, Brittany Schmidt stood up in front of her entire elementary school and argued a case. The defendant: the Big Bad Wolf. The charges: pig murder and vandalism.

She cross-examined witnesses. She gave a closing argument. She took the whole thing seriously, because even at 11 years old, that's just who she is.

Fast forward a few decades and Brittany is now a partner at Cauthorn Sanders & Schmidt, one of Cobb County's most established law firms. She handles all types of litigation and appellate work, including arguments before the Georgia Court of Appeals.

The clipping is still framed. Still in the office. A little yellowed around the edges, but we think that just adds to the charm.

When you need an attorney who has been passionate about this work since before she could drive, you know where to find us.

Someone just breached your contract. You're furious. Here's what to do before you do anything else.

1️ Don't react emotionally in writing. Texts and emails become evidence.
2️⃣ Gather every document related to the agreement (contracts, emails, invoices, receipts).
3️⃣ Write down exactly what happened and when because those details fade fast.
4️⃣ Calculate your actual damages - what did this breach cost you in real dollars?
5️⃣ Call an attorney before you respond formally to the other party.

What you do in the first 48 hours after a contract breach matters more than most people realize.

We handle commercial and contract litigation right here in Marietta. If someone has breached an agreement with you, let's talk.

Estate planning isn't just for old people. There. We said it.

At Cauthorn Sanders & Schmidt, our attorneys sit across from people in their 30s and 40s every week who assumed they didn't need a plan yet. Then something happened (an accident, a diagnosis, an unexpected death) and their family was left with a mess.

Here's the trust, estate planning at a young age isn't usually about wealth. It's about control.

Ask yourself:

If something happened to you tomorrow, could your spouse access everything they need to keep your family afloat?

Have you chosen someone to make medical decisions for you in the event you can't make them for yourself?

Do your loved ones know what your end of life wishes are?

These aren't morbid questions. They're the most loving thing you can do for the people who depend on you.

A basic estate plan doesn't take long and it doesn't have to be expensive. It just has to be done.

The team at Cauthorn Sanders & Schmidt is right here in Marietta. Come see us at 212 Church Street and let's get it taken care of.

Nobody hands you an instruction manual when a family member dies in Georgia. So we wrote one.

Here are 5 things to do immediately:

1️⃣ Locate the original will, copies make everything trickier with the probate court
2️⃣ Do not distribute any assets yet, even if everyone agrees
3️⃣ Order certified copies of the death certificate, you'll need several
4️⃣ Notify financial institutions and creditors
5️⃣ Contact a probate attorney before making any major decisions

The first few weeks after a loss are overwhelming. Knowing these steps can save your family significant time, money, and conflict.

Questions? We're here.

3 signs a probate dispute is heading toward litigation and what to do before it gets there.

1️⃣ Communication has completely broken down between family members and the executor
2️⃣ Assets have been moved, sold, or distributed before the estate is settled
3️⃣ Formal legal notices or demand letters have started flying back and forth

Here's the hard truth: once a probate dispute reaches the litigation stage, costs go up dramatically and options narrow significantly.

The families who fare best are the ones who got legal guidance early, before positions have hardened and assets have moved.

If you recognize any of these signs in a situation you're dealing with right now, don't wait.

Summer is here. Lake weekends, family road trips, beach trips, and way too much time on I-75.

Before the chaos kicks in, it’s a great time to make sure your estate plan is current.

Life gets busy. Documents get outdated. A quick one-hour consultation can make sure everything still reflects what you want for your family, your assets, and your future.

One meeting. Total peace of mind all summer long. ☀️
