Alfred Chang Dahlonega GA Death and Obituary – The North Georgia legal community is mourning the loss of one of its most distinguished figures, Alfred Chang, who passed away unexpectedly but peacefully at his home in Dahlonega, Georgia. As the founder and CEO of The Law Office of Alfred Chang, PC, Mr. Chang dedicated more than 25 years to practicing law with a passion for justice, a commitment to excellence, and a deep sense of compassion for those he served.
Alfred Chang was a cornerstone of legal advocacy in the region, specializing in family law, probate, and real estate. His expertise, professionalism, and unwavering dedication earned him widespread respect and numerous accolades, including multiple recognitions as “Best Attorney for Lumpkin County” in 2016, 2018, 2020, 2021, and 2023. Known for his sharp legal mind and heartfelt approach to advocacy, Alfred was a trusted advisor to clients and a mentor to fellow attorneys.
A Georgia native, Alfred graduated from North Springs High School in 1989 before earning his Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from Emory University in 1993. His time at Emory was marked by a significant milestone—an internship at the White House under President George H.W. Bush in 1992. This experience ignited his passion for public service and deeply influenced his future legal career.
Before founding his law firm, Alfred briefly worked in the mortgage banking industry. However, his calling to law led him to establish his own practice in Dahlonega, where he built a reputation not only as a skilled attorney but also as a person of integrity and empathy. Clients valued his honesty, clarity, and no-nonsense attitude, while colleagues admired his courtroom skills, strategic thinking, and willingness to mentor others.
Outside of his professional achievements, Alfred was a devoted husband to his wife, Megan, a local schoolteacher, and a loving father to their two children, Lily and Christopher. Their family life was enriched by travel—having visited over 32 countries—as well as the joyful presence of a golden lab who brought laughter and light to their home. Alfred believed strongly in the value of experiencing different cultures, often sharing how these journeys broadened his perspective and enhanced his ability to connect with people.
To those who knew him, Alfred was far more than a lawyer. He was a friend, a leader, and a source of support in difficult times. His office was often a place of comfort, where legal advice came with genuine empathy. Known for his booming laugh and sharp wit, Alfred had an extraordinary ability to make people feel seen, heard, and valued.
Alfred Chang is survived by his wife, Megan, their children, Lily and Christopher, and a community that feels his loss deeply. His legacy will live on through the lives he touched, the justice he fought for, and the love he gave so freely. A memorial service to celebrate his life and contributions will be announced in the coming days, inviting all who knew him to honor a life defined by dedication, compassion, and integrity.
