While some people believe they want their "day in court" when saying goodbye to a marriage, the reality is that 95-96% of divorce cases settle before reaching a trial. Many of these cases are resolved through settlement negotiations or temporary hearings.

Today on the podcast, Robin and Lester interview Judge Alvin Wong, Georgia’s first Asian American judge.
Guest Bio
Judge Wong came to Richmond, Va. from Hong Kong when he was 14. His father
enrolled him at Fishburne Military Academy in Waynesboro, Va., shook his hand
and said he’d “see him next summer.” He followed a classmate from Fishburne to
Auburn University without even knowing where it was. He graduated early and
moved to Atlanta. He started taking night classes at John Marshal Law School and
passed the Georgia Bar in 1976. He hung out a shingle and worked as a trial lawyer
and then was a partner at Gambrell & Stolz (now Baker Donelson) for 20 years.
Judge Wong was elected to the State Court of DeKalb County in 1999 and since
his election in 1999, he’s been reelected, unopposed, to six consecutive terms. With
his election in 1999, he became the first Asian American judge in Georgia history.
At that time, Asians made up less than two percent of registered voters in DeKalb
County.
In 2004, Judge Wong co-founded a DUI court to help people, calling it one
of the most rewarding things he’s done. He also sits on the board of the Lifeline
Animal Project, a nonprofit that helps turn Atlanta animal shelters into no-kill
shelters. He also brings to the courthouse Coco, a dachshund-chihuahua mix he
rescued a decade ago. Jurors love to meet her after the trial is over.
Judge Wong was elected by his peers in 2021 as president of the Georgia
Council of State Court Judges, overseeing the entire state. His election marked the
first time an Asian American served as president of any judicial council in Georgia.
In 1993, Judge Wong and Professor Natsu Saito of Georgia State University
Law School combed the State Bar Directory to find 10 attorneys to start an Asian
American Bar Association. Today, the Georgia Asian Pacific Bar Association
(GAPABA) has 750 members. In 2014, GAPABA named its top prize the “Judge
Alvin T. Wong Pioneer Award”. It is given in his honor to a lawyer who
demonstrates leadership to pave the way for the advancement of APA attorneys. He
is the recipient of the 2017 Traditions of Excellence Award presented by the
General Practice and Trial Section of the State Bar of Georgia. He received the
2022 Randolph Thrower Lifetime Achievement Award presented by the
Committee to Promote Inclusion in the Profession of the State Bar of Georgia.
Judge Wong serves the ABA Standing Committee on Ethics and Professional
Responsibility – Judges Advisory Committee and as a Fernbank Museum of
Natural History trustee and NAPABA (the National Asian Bar) Law Foundation
board member, mentoring future leaders as co-director of its Thomas Tang
National Moot Court Competition.
Today on the podcast, Robin and Lester reflect on the rare Presidential Pardon successfully obtained for Peter Heidgerd.
Robin Frazer Clark is a trial lawyer. She was the 50th President of the
State Bar of Georgia, is a Past President of Georgia Trial Lawyers
Association, a Past President of the Lawyers Club of Atlanta and has

Advocates. She is a Fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers. Robin
