Clarkston, Georgia has earned the remarkable distinction of being called "the most diverse square mile in America." This small city in DeKalb County, just east of Atlanta, has been a primary refugee resettlement destination since the 1980s, transforming from a quiet Southern town into a vibrant mosaic of global cultures.
The Arab refugee community in Clarkston is predominantly Iraqi and Syrian, with many families arriving through the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program. Iraqi refugees began arriving in significant numbers after 2007, and Syrian refugees followed after 2015. These families often experienced traumatic displacement, losing homes, businesses, and family members before reaching Georgia.
Today, Clarkston's main streets are lined with shops and restaurants representing dozens of nationalities. Arabic, Somali, Amharic, and other languages fill the air alongside English. Despite the city's small size, it punches far above its weight in cultural richness—and in the complexity of legal needs its residents face.

Testimonials
Read what Arab American families in Clarkston say about our Arabic-speaking family law attorneys.
“My ex tried to get full custody and move with our son to another state. My attorney filed an emergency motion in DeKalb County and the judge blocked the move. I got joint custody with a fair parenting schedule. He understood our cultural values about fatherhood and argued my case in a way the judge respected.”

“My divorce involved a mahr dispute and custody of three children. Finding a lawyer who understood Islamic marriage contracts and Georgia family law made all the difference. She got my mahr enforced and I have primary custody. I could discuss sensitive family issues in Arabic without any awkwardness.”

“My ex-husband stopped paying child support for six months. My lawyer filed an enforcement motion in Fulton County and got a wage garnishment order within three weeks. She also got back pay for every missed month. She spoke Arabic and really understood how hard it is to raise kids alone.”

Georgia follows equitable division of marital property. Clarkston's refugee families face unique family law challenges—marriages performed in Iraqi or Syrian camps with minimal documentation, polygamous marriages requiring dissolution under U.S. law, and custody disputes involving children left behind in conflict zones or refugee camps in Jordan and Turkey. Domestic violence resources are available through the IRC and local organizations, but Arabic-speaking family lawyers who understand refugee trauma are scarce.
Clarkston's Arab refugees have endured extraordinary hardship—war, displacement, and loss—before arriving in the United States.
