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.
