Testimonials
“I was more than satisfied how Trinity handled my Divorce. We had some difficult, to say the least, people to deal with. I always like to try & be one step ahead during situations such as this. We were always 5 steps ahead throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend Trinity to anybody going through a similar situation. I also want to give a shout out to Becca, her paralegal. I worked with her on a couple of separate things over the last couple of years & she is phenomenal!” – R.L.
“I cannot recommend Trinity enough. She helped me with a very stressful family situation. Trinity and her team were always timely in responses, very professional, and honest with me during the entire situation. She argued my case brilliantly and got me everything I was asking for. If you are having custody issues, hire Trinity and her team.”
– Craig
“I engaged Trinity’s legal expertise on two separate occasions to provide assistance to two of my adult children. Trinity’s caring and knowledgeable approach resulted in unique and successful outcomes in both cases. I was impressed by Trinity’s compassion, her ability to listen carefully, and her determination to pursue a legal outcome customized to the needs of her clients. I highly recommend Trinity to anyone with family-related legal challenges.”
– Jeff H.
“Facing a politically motivated GBI investigation, 18 count indictment, and trial was one of the most stressful and difficult times in my life. I want to thank Pat & Trinity for their work ethic, attention to detail, legal argument and faith in me. Hearing the words not guilty gave me back my faith in the system.”
– Senator Don Balfour
“We will be forever grateful for all that Pat and Trinity have done for our boys. We are enthusiastic with the outcome and wish the ATC team very best in all that life offers.”
– Catherine O.*
“I didn’t realize how stressed I would be waiting for the outcome of our hearing. Finally, I was able to rest peacefully. I feel free. Thank you for your kindness, supportive encouragement and consistency throughout this entire experience. I will never forget it!”
– Teresa S.*
“Even with cases handled outside of the courtroom, Patrick McDonough and Trinity Hundredmark build their cases as if each was going to trial. With their dedication, perseverance and expertise, I would confidently recommend the ATC legal team to anyone facing criminal charges.”
– Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Department
“I was looking for the best family practice attorney in Gwinnett to help some good friends with a family situation. And, everyone I spoke with seemed to think Trinity was the best. So, we engaged her. And, of course, she listened to my friends and fully understood their problem then she competently and professionally did a GREAT job to resolve their issues! From my experience, Trinity really is the best!!”
-J.
“I had used Trinity and Pat in the past, and when my ex and I could not agree on a settlement matter, I knew I needed to hire them again. We were unable to get my ex to agree on a settlement, so this matter went in front of the judge. Trinity represented me in court. She was able to wade through a mountain of information I gave her, and narrow the case down to the core issue and argued it beautifully. I won my case handily thanks to her excellent vision and ability to cut to the heard of the matter and not get caught up in “red herring” arguments (What the judge said about the opposing lawyer.). I will definitely hire them again if the need arises.”
-Anonymous
“Trinity was a god-send! I thank her for her and Pat’s strategic moves and patience throughout my case along the months. Specifically, Trinity’s attention to detail and analysis of facts cannot be denied. She made sure my 10 counts were reduced to 2 counts with probation for a year and community service. Without her, I could have gone to jail. She’s a very respectable attorney in this field and in this county and many should hire her! Trust me, she wont disappoint.”
-Anonymous
“I have had the pleasure of working with Trinity for the past 2 years in the area of Domestic Relations.

She is a joy to know and work with”

My gratitude is more than I can say. I appreciate the energy and the time that you put into this. I wouldn’t change anything. I feel you are pretty much my family. You’re not just my attorneys & I won’t forget about you when this is over. No, I won’t. Why?! Because you helped me. You worked for me. You did more than you had to do. The first time I met you in those 45 minutes (give or take) you told me more than the attorney I had, previously, for 3 years. So, thank you.”
– M.
“I was facing prison for something I did not do. However, the political climate was stacked up against me and a trial was risky. Pat & Trinity were able to get me a no contest plea & fine and it was over.”
– M.
”I worked with Pat & Trinity on a personal family matter. Although my type of case is never easy and highly sensitive, they assured me from the very beginning that we would get through this and meet the end result that I needed. The team was very responsive, thorough and professional. I have since recommended Trinity and her firm to numerous friends and colleagues. I have great trust in her abilities.”
– K.
“I went through a very traumatic domestic situation- resulting in a highly complicated case involving my children. After meeting with Pat & Trinity, I was immediately put at ease. They knew how to speak with my children and made them feel comfortable, which was important to me. Pat & Trinity are extremely experienced and represented me skillfully in the courtroom. Due to the unique circumstances of my case I have had the need to hire Pat & Trinity on two separate occasions, having great success both times and have been extremely satisfied both times. Due their dedication to their clients and their needs, it’s nice to know they are just a phone call away.”
– J.
“Pat & Trinity represented my son recently, and they were nothing short of well-prepared knowledgeable, while at the same time receptive and compassionate to our. We were provided excellent representation, as Pat and Trinity negotiated the best possible plea and probation deal given our circumstances. We felt that they truly cared about us as clients and worked hard to arrive at the best outcome. I would recommend them without reservation.”
– K.
“After my daughter found herself in some legal trouble alongside her friends, we hired the legal counsel of Pat & Trinity to represent the entire group. They were extremely prepared and professional – but the most critical and beneficial aspect was how they explained everything to the girls in simple language that they could easily understand. They are extremely nice people and I highly recommend!”
– B.
“Our son was being charged with violation which could have ultimately landed him in jail for a very long time. After utilizing the legal help of Pat & Trinity, our son was releases very quickly, the case was dismissed, and his record was expunged. We would not have been able to do this without their tenacity and experience. “
– C.
“After being pulled over for speeding, I was arrested for 2 misdemeanors and found myself facing three charges in court. Unoptimistic about my fate, I hired Pat & Trinity as a last hope. The team was very polite, informative, and respectful- always no more than an email/phone call away. Their consultation was very reassuring; after going to court, I was able to enter the Pre-Trial Diversion program even after completing it in my previous case. I already completed most of the requirements needed for probation, and due to Pat & Trinity’s insight and recommendations all that was required was 12 months of probation and a few seminars. I highly recommend using their unparalleled expertise!”
– S.
“Pat & Trinity did an amazing job of very quickly getting in touch with the right people in the prosecutor’s office to work out the best possible regarding my citation. Thanks to their help, I was able to avoid getting any points on my driving record, or having to report it to my insurance company.”
– S.E.
“After finding myself in a very intimidating situation, I reached out to Pat & Trinity for legal help. Due to their relentless attention to detail, every document and record used to support my case was dismissed- an outcome I initially did not think was possible! I am so thankful I chose them to oversee my case. “
– C.
“I was facing two felony charges as well as three separate charges when I decided to hire Pat & Trinity to represent me in court. During my trial, I was arrested for a separate charge. Despite the complicated situation, Pat & Trinity were able to get every charge dropped, with the exception of one felony, which was lowered to a misdemeanor. After serving 12 months probation, all of my charges will be officially dropped! I am so fortunate to have found a great team who made this process go so smoothly. “
– C.
“Earlier this year I was charged with a DUI. The situation was stressful as anyone could imagine. A serious charge on my record, jail time, and license suspension was at stake. With Mr. McDonough and his teams experience and expertise throughout the process, I was able to avoid it all. My charge was reduced; I kept my license, did not receive points on my license, and did not serve additional jail time. With his hard work and knowledge, he was able to negotiate with the prosecutor with the odds stacked against me. I would highly recommend him if you are in need of legal assistance.”
– A.
The odds were stacked against my son after refusing a breathalyzer test, which normally results in an automatic one-year license suspension. He also failed all other tests administered to him at the time of his arrest. Despite this, Pat & Trinity were able to dissect the tests and use their expertise to lower the charges to reckless driving with no points, no license suspension, and no probation. He only had to do community service, take a class and pay fines. Needless to say, we were very pleased with the outcome and would use their services again without hesitation.
– G.
“Pat & Trinity are excellent attorneys who does what it takes to get the job done. Their combined diligence and hard work provided the best outcome for my situation. I especially appreciate their candor throughout the process. Updates and options were more frequently than expected. I can honestly say my relationship with Pat & Trinity has impacted my family in a very positive manner, both financially and in other ways.”
– M.
“Pat & Trinity are experts in criminal law with outstanding relationships within the criminal justice community in Gwinnett County and the Atlanta area in general.
They have helped my family and friends on many occasions and I have referred people to him numerous times. Pat’s experience as a District Attorney and Prosecutor before becoming a Criminal Defense Attorney is instrumental in helping his clients.”
– C.D.
“My husband and I had the opportunity to meet Pat & Trinity several years ago when our youngest son made a bad decision that could have had life long ramifications. Pat & Trinity worked with the case and all who were involved to resolve the matter. They are an amazing team to work and although though I don’t wish to have to use the team ever again, I would recommend Pat & Trinity to anyone who may find themselves in a difficult situation. They are the best at what they do, and I will always be grateful for their amazing knowledge and capabilities”
– B.F.
“If you are reading this review, there is a good chance you are in need of legal representation! I was recommended to Mrs. Hundredmark by a family friend, after finding myself in a burdening predicament. I was involved in a DUI case, and the outcome was looking rather grim. After my initial meeting with Mrs. Hundredmark and her law partner I felt a lot better about the situation. Of course there were no promises or guarantees made, but the confidence and integrity they both exuded assured me that I was in the right place. Everything about the case moved rather quickly, but the outcome cold not have been more uplifting. Their legal experience really shined thru, and at the end of the day I walked out of the courtroom completely relieved. I would definitely recommend the services of this law firm to any family, friend, or stranger on the street.”

Success Stories
Successes
A Traffic Stop Led To Serious Charges Until Client Retained Anderson, Tate, & Carr
Our client was stopped for a broken tail light, and his nervous reaction while interacting with the officer prompted the officer to request a search of the client’s vehicle. When the client refused, a drug dog was called in, and marijuana was found in the car.
The attorneys of Anderson, Tate, & Carr argued that the officer did not have reasonable suspicion of a crime that justified detaining our client beyond the tail light citation. Our client did not have a drug problem, and the prosecutor agreed to dismiss the marijuana charge. The arrest record was expunged and our client was able to avoid going to court for the charge, and was able to simply pay his citation online.
Client Receives Dismissal of all Eight Counts
Our client was facing eight counts, including simple assault, disorderly conduct, simple battery, criminal trespass to property and public intoxication. After conducting a through investigation, our criminal defense team was able to obtain a dismissal of all eight counts. Our client plead guilty to violating a local ordinance, which does not appear on his criminal history. He paid restitution and performed community service.
Client’s Charges Reduced After Hiring Anderson, Tate & Carr
Our client was charged with 3 counts of hit and run and 3 counts of following too close. One of the hit and runs was against a moving school bus. After the incident, the client was found passed out on the floor of his house, but he was positively identified as the driver. He had 3 prior DUI convictions.
Our client hired another firm to represent him, and his first attorney reached an agreement to have him plead guilty to all counts and be declared a felony habitual violator and serve 90 days in jail.
Then our client found the attorneys at Andersen, Tate & Carr. Even after the deal had been struck, our criminal defense team was able to come in and show the prosecutor additional information on the client’s rehabilitative efforts. The state agreed to let him plead guilty to just 2 counts of hit and run, and one count of following too close. He avoided being a habitual violator, and the jail time was converted to house arrest, allowing him to continue working.
Proper Medical Diagnosis Helps Sister Drop Charges Against Brother
Our 32-year-old client agreed to watch his sister’s two young children while she and her mother flew out of town to attend their father’s funeral. Upon her arrival home, the sister discovered her house in disarray. An argument between our client and his sister ensued and quickly escalated. Our client allegedly grabbed his sister by the throat and threatened her. It was also alleged that he later picked up a golf club and threatened her life. He was arrested for simple battery under the Domestic Violence Act.
After meeting with the client, we discovered that he has been suffering from PTSD after being the victim of a vicious attack several years earlier. Additionally, there were other mental health issues that weren’t being properly addressed. We worked to get him evaluated, placed on proper medication, and started with a consistent therapy routine.
This plan of action resulted in his sister’s request that the case be dismissed. The State then agreed to dismiss the case and expunge his record.
All Charges Dismissed in Aggravated Assault Case
Our client was a retired police officer with over 20 years on the force. While working part time as a security guard at a local bank, he noticed a suspicious person trying to pass a check at the counter. The teller signaled that the patron was trying to pass a bad check, and our client approached and told the man that he would need to wait until the police arrived. The suspect made a run for it and our client stabbed him as he ran past, causing serious injuries.
The security guard was charged with aggravated assault, possession of a knife during a felony and engaging in private security without a license. He was facing 31 years in prison. After an extensive independent investigation, we learned that the suspect was a career criminal. Our criminal defense team lined up self-defense experts and filed an immunity motion claiming that our client had acted in self-defense. On the day of the motion, the DA dismissed all charges and our client was free to go home.
