A CARING, STRATEGIC LAW FIRM<br />
by Julie Brennan<br />
Jennifer D. Patterson began serving the communities of <strong>Forsyth</strong> and North Georgia in 1992, when<br />
she opened her first office in Cumming. One of the few female attorneys in the area at the time,<br />
she began focusing on family law matters from divorce and child custody to domestic violence<br />
and contempt issues.<br />
“I am the mother of four kids. I understand when decisions have to be made when parents are<br />
dealing with custody issues,” Patterson explained. “No one wants conflict in their lives, particularly<br />

Moore was formed. The pair decided to purchase the Merritt House on Kelly Mill Road which<br />
