Haley Lee

Paralegal

Personal Experience

Haley joined the firm in 2024. Originally from Atlanta, she studied Criminal Justice at Georgia State University and later earned her Paralegal Certification from the University of Georgia. She’s especially passionate about advocating for neurodiverse children and those impacted by family violence, approaching each case with both compassion and strategic clarity.

As a survivor of complex family dynamics, she brings empathy, insight, and precision to every case she handles. Her lived experience fuels a relentless drive to support clients through some of life’s most difficult transitions, especially those involving abuse, trauma, or custody concerns.

Before transitioning into the legal field, Haley built a strong foundation in client advocacy and crisis response. Her previous roles demanded both meticulous attention to detail and a calming presence under pressure. She has a unique ability to connect with people, even in high-conflict or emotionally charged situations, making her an invaluable resource to the families we serve.

Outside the office, Haley is an avid reader, writer, sci-fi lover, and enjoys spending time with her daughter.

Johana Barajas

Office Manager

Personal Experience

Johana is originally from Venezuela but has lived in Georgia since 2000. When she moved to the United States, she focused in Customer Service and quickly rose to management. She joined the firm in 2012 as an account manager, but her natural business sense propelled her to take over general management of the firm. Over the years, Johana’s ongoing interest and experience has equipped her to oversee the firm’s marketing, technology, human resources and financial management. She ensures the daily operations run smoothly and maintains accounts payable, receivable and monthly billings as well.

Johana understands client expectations, concerns and emotions throughout the legal process as she has experienced them herself. Her personal experience with attorneys in the past allows her to be particularly compassionate with our clients.

Outside the office, Johana adores being with her husband and daughter, whether entertaining friends and family at home, traveling or just enjoying the outdoors with their dog, Annie.

 

Marcy A. Millard

Owner & Lead Attorney

Personal Experience

As the lead attorney and owner of The Millard Law Firm, Marcy manages the firm and helps clients navigate the confusing and painful process of litigating a family law case. A child of divorce herself, Marcy is passionate about helping the children affected by the cases she litigates.

After completing her degree, Marcy began her career with a small law firm in Lawrenceville, GA, where she learned the complexities of family law. She expanded her experience by joining a medium-sized real estate litigation firm in Buckhead in 2006, before opening her own practice in 2007.

Originally from upstate New York, Marcy obtained a degree in Mathematics and Education from the State University of New York at Potsdam. She then earned her law degree from the Georgia State College of Law in 2004.

During her early teen years, Marcy felt the trauma of divorce first-hand when her parents’ marriage ended. Although amicable, the divorce left Marcy struggling for attention from her parents and adjusting to a new definition of “family.” Today, Marcy has two children of her own, one of whom is special needs. She understands the demands of being a parent, and how these demands can affect the family dynamics, even in the absence of a divorce situation.

Marcy’s own experiences provide focus and insight in how she can help her clients work through the emotional trauma of a family law case. In addition, they have enabled her to assist her clients in better understanding how they can help their own children navigate through major change.
