Atlanta Divorce Law Group, a boutique family law firm based in Alpharetta, Georgia, has announced the addition of Jim Powers as Senior Attorney. Powers brings more than ten years of high-stakes courtroom and litigation experience, with a background that includes prosecuting felony domestic violence and crimes against children cases across multiple judicial circuits.
Powers began his legal career as an Assistant District Attorney, where he handled sensitive cases involving family harm. Most recently, he served in the Northeastern Judicial Circuit, managing complex matters from initial assignment through jury trial. He previously led a Special Victims Unit focused on sexual offenses, domestic violence, and crimes against children, and supervised younger prosecutors in the Western Judicial Circuit. Before joining Atlanta Divorce Law Group, Powers practiced family law at respected Atlanta-area firms and through his own firm, J. Powers Law, LLC, where he represented clients in complex divorce, custody, and support matters.
“Jim’s depth of trial experience, especially in domestic violence and child protection matters, gives him a unique perspective in family law,” said Sara Khaki, Founding Partner of Atlanta Divorce Law Group. “He approaches every case with a clear focus on advocating for those whose voices are often unheard.”
Powers credits his prosecutorial background for sharpening his trial advocacy and strategic case-building skills. This skill set makes him exceptionally well-equipped to handle contested divorces, child custody disputes, child support matters, legitimation actions, and high-asset cases. “I’ve prosecuted some of the most difficult cases involving family harm, which helps me guide clients through conflict with clarity and resolve,” Powers said. “The goal is always to help families reach a true Happily Ever After Divorce, one where fighting ends and everyone can move forward stronger.”
The firm’s founder, Sara Khaki, emphasizes that Atlanta Divorce Law Group views clients not as case files, but as people with stories and futures worth protecting. By focusing on long-term well-being and informed decision-making, the firm aims to transform divorce from a legal transaction into a meaningful turning point.

Powers’ addition is significant as it brings a prosecutor’s perspective to family law, particularly in cases involving domestic violence and child protection. His experience in handling high-conflict situations from both sides of the courtroom provides a distinct advantage for clients navigating emotionally charged disputes. As family law continues to evolve, having attorneys with deep trial experience and a commitment to protecting vulnerable parties becomes increasingly important.
