“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.

If you are having custody issues, hire Trinity and her team.”
– Craig

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 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

She is a joy to know and work with”

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.

– 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.

– 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.

They are extremely nice people and I highly recommend!”
– B.

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.”

“We hired Trinity to help us with a court case involving the Division of Family and Children Services. Obviously a very stressful situation for my entire family. My wife and I did an initial consultation with Trinity and knew immediately that we would hire her. She explored every aspect of our case and provided a clear explanation of our options. After reviewing each option with my wife and I, Trinity developed a concise strategy to move forward. Our decision to hire Trinity was further strengthened as we proceeded through the court process. We could not have done this on our own. Last week the court case was closed with the outcome we wanted. We are grateful for everything that Trinity has done for our family. I would highly recommend Trinity to anyone who finds themselves against the odds. She is the best!”

“I am thrilled to have had the opportunity to work with Trinity and the team at Andersen, Tate & Carr. They are a very professional, pleasant and hard-working group of folks. I was arrested for some pretty serious marijuana charges, but am now finally seeing some light at the end of the tunnel. I strongly recommend Trinity and her team to anyone who might want to avoid going to trial. I am happy that I chose Andersen, Tate & Carr to represent me and help me through this difficult time of my life.”

She provided us excellent representation and negotiated the best possible plea and probation deal given our circumstances. We felt that she truly cared about us as clients and worked hard to arrive at the best outcome. I would recommend her without reservation.”

“I went through a very traumatic domestic situation and then was surprised to be faced with a highly complicated case involving my children. I knew what I was up against and knew I needed someone good. I met with Trinity and was immediately put at ease. In an extremely difficult and unusual position she knew how to speak with my children and make them feel comfortable, which was of the utmost importance to me. I realized right away I was in good hands so I hired her on the spot. She knows her stuff and is highly effective both in dealing with me and in the courtroom. She doesn’t back down, will not be bullied and will fight for you and what is right. Due to the unique circumstances of my case I have had the need to hire Trinity on two separate occasions and have been extremely satisfied both times. What I appreciate most about Trinity is her accessablity. She answers all my questions and concerns in a very timely and thorough manner. She is always just an email or a phone call away. No one wants to need a lawyer but if you do Trinity is the one. I fully trust her and her knowledge of the law.”

“As a fellow attorney, I understand all too well that cheap attorneys are cheap for a reason. My divorce was highly contested and drug on for 2 years, and I obtained the best possible result because of Trinity Hundredmark and Andersen, Tate & Carr, P.C. Perhaps nothing is more important than your finances and how much time you get to spend with your children, and there is no better way to protect those things than by hiring an aggressive attorney like Trinity.”

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. “

“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. “

“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.”

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.

I can honestly say my relationship with Pat & Trinity has impacted my family in a very positive manner, both financially and in other ways.”

“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.”

“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”
