Ms. Wright has made the process of closing a seamless effort. She is very knowledgeable, competent, and easy to work with. She remains calm and steady at all times during a sometimes stressful process (especially for first time home buyers!). If you are looking for the best Real Estate attorney in Memphis, you found her!

17 Apr, 2020 by Amy woods

Sarah-Katherine Wright is my 1st recommendation when clients ask for a real estate closing attorney! My clients hire SK, however I cannot put a value on her expertise when it comes to the advice she provides...if it’s consulting my clients on how to take title & policies or reviewing the language within a offer to make sure the client is protected. I know SK will have our client’s best interest at top of mind. Whether the client is a first-time buyer with lots of questions or a seasoned buyer &/or seller, SK is the attorney I trust to consult with my clients & close the transaction. Over the years I’ve had the opportunity to work with SK numerous times & she has never let me down. To get to the closing table it takes a team effort between the Realtor, Lender, & Attorney all representing the client. I'm more than proud to work with Sarah-Katherine Wright!

SK did a fantastic job! There were unexpected issues at the very end which she handled beautifully, calmly, professionally and kept it going to closing. She is fantastic!

I fully agree with the previous review on all counts, I could not have said it better. Mr. Butler's expertise and experience, along with the respect and trust he has earned with tax authorities, provide the very best representation. You will be pleased as well as relieved and reassured by the prompt personal attention, kind support and respect Mr. Butler provides his clients. Having worked with over 20 attorneys, I know how rare that is. It's said only two things are certain—death and taxes. If you have a problem with taxes, I urge you to see Mr. Butler because there is a third certainty—that Mr. Butler and his firm will provide you with the finest and most professional representation possible.

I have been a medical professional for 30 years. During those years I have been involved with many attorneys both professionally and personally for many different situations. My experiences with attorneys have consistently been unpleasant. Most of the attorneys I have encountered have also been unpleasant. Although not every practicing attorney falls into this category, unfortunately the legal profession is replete with unpleasant, unscrupulous individuals practicing with lack of communication and due-diligence who have created a negative image of the profession with the public in general, and my previous experience confirms this is rightly so. Enter Attorney John Eric Butler. I first met Mr. Butler two years ago when my wife and I saw him for consultation for personal business matters. It was immediately evident that he was an attorney much different than we had encountered before. Over the two years that we have been his clients, he has demonstrated unequivocally that he is a true gentleman. He is of the highest character and at all times conducts himself in the most moral, ethical and professional manner. He has shown us heart-felt compassion for our situation. His counsel and guidance have been invaluable in the difficult life decisions that we have had to make. Mr. Butler represents the essence of what an attorney should be and is the highest credit to his profession, a profession that desperately needs more individuals like him.

Eric Butler provided excellent service in preparing a revocable living trust for me. His rates were reasonable. His turnaround time was responsive to my needs. I appreciate Eric for assisting me with this important project.

I would highly recommend Amy Wood to anyone looking for a trustworthy, knowledgable and professional lawyer. She was always very well informed regarding all aspects in helping me buy an existing dental practice, including contract negotiations. She also helped set up the dental practice as a PLLC. She was thorough and always responded promptly to any questions or concerns I had. She is an excellent asset for anyone looking at buying an existing business, starting a small business or anyone looking for a business related attorney.

Amy Wood and her colleagues at Rudy, Wood, Winstead, and Williams have been a vital resource for us during the last 3 years, and have helped us navigate a variety of legal and administrative issues with our business--from entity formation to dealing with regulatory and government issues. Amy has been extremely professional, reliable, and responsive and stands out among our professional relationships as someone whose services and knowledge we will continue to count on for the long-term. I highly recommend Amy if you are in need of legal services in the greater Nashville area, especially in the fields of business, real estate, or government relations.

02 Dec, 2012 by Keri mcinnis

I have known Amy for several years and have referred many clients to Amy for her legal advice on business, estate, and real estate matters. Amy is always professional, responsive and puts her clients' needs first. All of my clients thoroughly enjoy working with Amy.

April is an excellent attorney, knowledgeable, personal, well spoken, and trustworthy. She is well versed in her field. She kept me in the loop and walked me through the entire process. Her clam and professional demeanor helped dissolve very tense situations, however, tough and aggressive with the offense when necessary. She was upfront about the risks and costs of each strategy. You won't find a more capable, ethical, and hard-working lawyer. I highly recommend April Nemer.

I hired April to represent me in what ended up being a long, contentious divorce. She was absolutely amazing. I couldn't have asked for more. I highly recommend April to anyone in need of an excellent divorce lawyer.

I have known Mollie for over 30 years but lost contact after university. After moving home to help my injured mother I was so thankful to find that she was practicing law in Chattanooga. She provided invaluable advise, guidance and comfort with our POA process and more and I’ll be working with her on multiple needs with our family in the future. Mollie is an outstanding lawyer and person with the utmost professionalism, integrity and grace and I trust her without doubt. I give her my highest recommendation and know you’ll also have peace of mind when working with her. Thank you so much Mollie for all your work, I’m forever grateful!

10 Feb, 2018 by Lori

Mollie was there for my family during a very difficult time in our lives. She represented us well throughout the entire process from start to finish (conservatorship). She outlined what would happen, how much it would cost, and kept us up to date each step the along the way. She was graciouss and kind to my sister and me and we were so happy with the way she handled our case.

09 Feb, 2018 by Rebekah

Mollie has assisted my company with Guardianship work for years. She does a wonderful job, is thorough in her work and research, and possesses a great deal of knowledge and expertise in Estate, Probate and Guardianship. She is always reliable, responsive, and proactive with her clients and cases. I have worked with a great deal of other attorneys in past years, but Mollie's promptness, communication and attention to detail have by far outperformed.

Julie is one of the smartest, well qualified, and empathetic attorneys that I have ever worked with. She listened to my needs and got straight to work on crafting the necessary estate planning documents. Recently, I had a family member that needed legal services in another city. I called Julie. She consulted with her colleagues to find my family the best fit for the legal issue that they were confronting. Julie is there for me and goes out of her way to help. Highly Recommend!

Ms. Eisenhower has partnered with another attorney at her firm to prepare and file a family court appeal on behalf of my wife and me. The brief was extremely thorough and well written. The facts are laid out succinctly and no minor detail was omitted. The process for this appeal was even more tedious than normal because transcripts of the cases were not provided, instead Ms. Eisenhower and team used the video and audio recordings from the trials to compose the appeal brief! I truly appreciate the time and effort that has been afforded my case and I highly recommend Ms. Eisenhower if you desire or need the same attention to detail.

Mr. Thornbury is personally involved with all his clients. He is well respected in our Chattanooga area, and is a superior trial attorney. He sent me a check for $10,000 after representing me in a complicated case. I would trust him with any of my legal issues in the future, and feel confident in referring my friends and family to Mr. Thornbury.

24 Apr, 2015 by Jim

Mr. Thornbury represented me in a personal injury case. I was injured during a property inspection when a improperly installed attic pulldown ladder failed. It actually fell out of a ceiling with me standing on it. Herbert did a very thorough and professional job. The case was settled without going to trial. I was very satisfied with the outcome. I would highly recommend Mr. Herbert Thornbury. Jim

I would recommend him as enthusiastically as possible.

On separate occasions over a 7yr span I was having problems getting a response from a couple of businesses around town about monetary issues I was facing with them...After several failed attempts over a period of a few months I decided to give the Ware Law Firm a call and whitin that same week I received replies through the US Mail from the same businesses that wouldn't reply before I contacted this Firm...Mrs Ware got the job done because she was on her job....Thank you Mrs Ware in 2009.... Thank you in 2016....And thank you in the future if I ever will need your services again cause I know you'll be on the job....

My experience with hiring Attorney Carmen Ware was great. She was always available and she took on my case when larger law firms were advising me that I did not have a case worth pursuing. The outcome of my case was great and that was achieved due to hiring Attorney Care Ware.

We couldn't be more pleased with Sean and his Staff. We had to acquire Conservatorship over our Father and his Estate as he transitioned from assisted living into memory care. Very professional, well respected within the legal community, he and his Staff respond quickly and their use of time on our case was efficient and productive.

30 May, 2019 by Polly

Sean Aiello worked with our attorney Brad Carter in representing my son. Sean has a very pleasant way about him and it is easy to feel comfortable in his presence. Their diligence and dedication to represent my son is what we received from their team. We never saw the hours spent preparing for court appearances nor the times spent speaking with the plaintiff’s attorneys; yet, we know all this was instrumental in negotiating the favorable outcome in the Civil Lawsuit against my son. It took two years for the case to be settled in our favor. Sean’s assistance in this case for my son was due to his and Brad’s expertise in law, research, skilled collaboration and attention to detail were sure components to him being able to deliver the best solution possible for my son. He was not the lead attorney but whenever we met with them, it was obvious he was an intricate part of the process in turning this in my son’s favor. They were prompt in relaying information regarding any new developments and any court related issues. The day we met to retain Brad Carter and Sean was a very dark day for us. It was like walking in the dark; groping for a glimmer of light and direction out of this deep hole my son had fallen in. In his sympathetic way, we got that glimmer of light we had hoped for; though he laid out the worst case scenario, we felt confident that we had been led to the right place. We were not made any promises, but that they team would represent my son with the goal of getting the best result. When people come to an attorney seeking counsel, the response of that attorney should be as reassuring as possible that he/she is on their team. We were not given false hope. Yet, we felt some relieve knowing that Sean Aiello and Brad Carter would be doing everything they could to represent my son well. I close adding, they not only represented my son in such an excellent way that leaves us feeling forever grateful , but they also represented their profession and their law firm to a high level of honor. I admire and think highly of these two men knowing that though they may have had some personal reservations regarding some of the details in the case, it never hindered their acts of professionalism. I pray that, I nor any of my family will ever have a need to be represented in a court of law again; but should I ever know of someone who does, I think I could honestly refer them to Sean Aiello.

Mr. Aiello was great. He listened to everything I had to say when I spoke. He then explained and suggested the legal way do accomplish our goal. He put himself in my place and was awesome. Very professional and intelligent. Always contacted me when I needed him. His paralegal was terrific and I got a copy of everything. Got the job done. I will call on him if I ever need anything more. I highly recommend him.

From our first introductory meeting to receiving that final decree, Mrs Redmon provided sound advice. Her swift action and a tireless effort to represent my truth turned a potentially negative outcome in a multi-layered complex divorce to a positive result. Honest and transparent communication at the front-end, her strategy never wavered, but rather was supported by fact, law and a fair defense.

Mrs. Redmon is my go to attorney. She is prompt to respond. She gives excellent consultation advice. She tells you your options and if you choose another option what are your possible consequences.

Elizabeth worked passionately in my case and got everything dropped. She treats her clients with respect and makes them feel everything is going to be okay. She calmed my nerves and did a great job to boot. Elizabeth is dedicated to her clients in every way. She goes far above what she has to do and does it with kindness and respect. Elizabeth demonstrated her willingness to go to any length to make sure justice was served in my case. I would recommend her to anyone I know needing legal help. She is a Class Act.

I highly recommend Liz to those seeking a legal advocate. I was contacted by Liz to assist her in finding substance abuse treatment for one of her client. Liz worked tirelessly and passionately in support of her client. Late night calls, trips to the jail and courthouse all in an effort to help her client get the help he needed. While her client sought her for help with a legal problem in the end, due to Liz's efforts, he received what could be life-changing/life-saving help with his addiction. What Liz demonstrated to me is that she is willing to go to any length to help...legal and otherwise.

I want to thank the Reaves law firm they treated me like I was family when I first went to them and my case was handled in a timely manor I was very comfortable with Reaves doing what they do.

27 Apr, 2015 by Rashaad

A sum of 2 years ago I was charged with 6 aggravated assault charges, and later the DA felt I got the lesser charges so they decide to charge me with first degree attempted murder. I was arrested October 28, Mr. Reaves came on the 30th just two days after, I was impressed. When we first talked and he gave me a consultation he made sure he let me know that he will fight for me to the fullest extent. I didnt expect to much but I wasn't in full belief because I was in a city that wronged me, but over the course of 21 days in jail attorney Reaves built my confidence by displaying his incentive, knowledge, and determination. I was his first criminal case, so in all other metaphors he took those gloves off and prepared to win. He knew what possible outcomes could take place but his diligence allowed him not to be defeated. Even though I had no criminal history and I was eligible for first offense diversion he didnt take no plea, even when I was reindicted for the higher charge he never gave up on me. During the course of 2 years we had several trials and although he was a civil attorney he went against two of the most respected defense attorneys Memphis had to offer. But Mr. Reaves was prepared for them and surprised them as well. In the end result I can still be an engineer with my clear name because he was triumphant. I owe him so much more then money and gratitude he saved my life and I'm eternally grateful. If you ask me what Lawyer is the best for any situation civil and or criminal I will say attorney Reaves. He knows the value of your life and your possessions and he will fight for them with all he has.

06 Apr, 2015 by Angela

I am very pleased with the work done by attorney Henry Reaves. He handle my case with grace and dignity. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to find a honest lawyer to fight for me, but with him I did. I would definitely recommend him to friends and family.

attorney Romona is a very kind, enthusiastic and hard working lawyer. She is devoted to her clients and the profession. she was willing to handle my immigration case which was complicate due to poor handling of the case by the previous attorney I had and she did all what she could in a very short period of time . She is very friendly, warm and very patient. I was able to talk to her as a friend and she listens patiently. She gives a prompt response for emails,answers any questions,and follow up with no additional cost. I would definitely recommend her for anyone who have immigration issues.

12 Jul, 2013 by Jane

I went to Attorney Romona in desperation. My case had been lost in the USCIS and my life had come to a standstill. Within the first week of meeting with attorney Romona, she booked an appointment with the local USCIS and accompanied me for the appointment. She got the ball rolling and informed me every step of the way, discussing the likely outcomes and the options I had. I was able to get in touch with her any time I had a question and she called to inform me of any new developments regarding my case. Attorney Romona explored every avenue to make my case heard as early as possible. She made numerous phone calls to the different departments that my case was being pushed through, she wrote letters, collected evidence from me and requested expedition of my case. She is very organised and knowledgeable and because of this I was granted an earlier date for my hearing. Since Attorney Romona had turned in all the evidence needed for my case, my hearing was really short and victorious. I would highly recommend Attorney Romona.

Her caring and professional demeanor make you comfortable around her.She creates an atmosphere that makes you forget you are with a lawyer. As much as she is professional she makes you feel like you are the only client she has.I am happy to say that even after her services she will remain a life long friend.

24 Feb, 2015 by Dwayne

John represented me in a divorce that was especially acrimonious. He did his best to help resolve matters through agreement, mediation, and every other means short of having to have contested hearings and eventually a trial on the merits. When informal resolution was not possible, I was very fortunate to have such a professional and competent advocate on my side. John kept me informed at every step of the process, and was always accessible if I had questions or if new issues arose. He not only is a leading expert on family law, but has great judgment and common sense which made me trust his advice even more. As corporate counsel who deals with business litigation, I have had the opportunity to work with and against some really good lawyers at the trial and appellate level all over the country. I would put John's legal writing and courtrooms skills right up there with the best of them. I highly recommend John and his firm.

I remember the day I was referred to Mrs.Gordon I was in a very dark space, 100% depressed, and ready to just give up. Mrs. Gordon listened to my concerns and situations. I had multiple child support cases that were very expensive causing me to constantly fall behind. Not to mention I suffered a major injury yet bills and child support continued to pile up. I didn't know what I was going to do. Needless to say Mrs. Gordon had a plan and she began work on a long and lengthy process. I'll spare those details, let's just say I have never had the experience of having a lawyer that was compassionate, caring, and an just an all around good person. I highly recommend hiring Mrs. Gordon. Not only did she help me get through some very tuff times she got my payments reduced to some thing I can manage. Today I'm very hopeful that things are looking better for this guy. Keep being the awesome person and lawyer that you are. Many THANKS from my family!!!!

22 Jun, 2019 by Jerry

I came in to speak with Mrs. Gordon about a case of mistaken identity on a DNA test. She was extremely understanding and very empathetic about the whole situation. When it came time for court we spoke briefly then she spoke with the judge. When she came back to speak with she informed that I would have to take one more DNA test and she explained my situation to the judge. She assured me that this would be the only time I would have to take another one. Fast forward to the next court date and after the judge does roll call and spoke with the clerk she tells me everything has been dismissed and I'm free to go.

I was maliciously attacked by a room mate that knew ways in which to manipulate the boundaries of the law for his personal spite towards me. Having been referred to by a neighbor I sought out Mrs Gordon for legal help after this room mate filed a false order of protection against me. Upon meeting and reviewing my case, I had instant confidence in her ability. That confidence showed in the court room as in the middle of proceedings, the judge stopped the hearing and dismissed all allegations that had been placed on me calling all charges against me ridiculous.

I met with Kimberly in 2011 for a consultation on a divorce. She was very professional in appearance and manner. After I explained my situation, she assured me she would do everything in her power to meet my needs and she did. She cared about my needs and emotionally supported me. She took away my fears by stating "Let me do the worrying, that's my job." Kim guided me through the process every step of the way. The results were impressive and resolved in a timely manner. It all came out in my favor. I kept the house and all of my belongings. This result was undoubtedly all because of Kimberly Shields' professional knowledge of Tennessee divorce law and her hard work. All I can say is I would highly recommend Attorney Kimberly Shields. Thanks again Kimberly." - Lisa M.

Employment related issues are stressful. I never thought it would happen to me... When I first met with Heather I was angry, hurt, confused, shocked, skeptical and most of all STRESSED. Heather listened to my story, advised me of my options and proceeded to negotiate a highly favorable settlement on my behalf. Heather's professionalism, understanding of the law and confident disposition demonstrated to me that I was in good hands and well represented! Thank you!

Heather wasn't just a great attorney, she was also an excellent guide through the difficult procedures and complicated steps regarding the ADA and employment law. She listened when I shared my frustrations and kept me motivated throughout the entire process. I was honored she chose to accept my case and I got to experience the closure I sought after the termination of my employment.

Heather worked with us to help negotiate an agreement. She was thoughtful, conscientious, and helped the parties focus on finding mutually beneficial ground with a positive, constructive tone. Her deep expertise and experience were invaluable in navigating the numerous decisions required during a stressful time, and also helped us keep things in perspective. I highly recommend Heather for any matter relating to employment agreements.

Hands down best attorney anyone could ask for. We live out of state and Ryan was incredible. Never got to meet him face to face until the day of the trial and it was never an issue. From day one he was always very responsive to all communication. Compassionate and understanding, very smart and witty. And just an all around great person. And absolute beast in the court room. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything you do for my family.

From my very first conversation with Ryan Hanzelik, I knew Ryan was someone who could be trusted to help with the most difficult situation I have been through. Ryan stood by my side and made sure that each of my concerns was heard regarding a difficult interstate custody situation. Ryan has an incredible ability to think and come up with alternative solutions on the fly which were absolutely in the best interests of my son. I felt a genuine connection to Ryan and believe that Ryan has become an attorney to help people, specifically children who have found themselves in difficult situations through no fault of their own. If you are looking for someone experienced, knowledgeable, kind, understanding, and genuinely caring about your case; Ryan is your guy.

Ryan was responsive from day one and helped me navigate all of the difficult aspects of my case. He made me feel confident about my decisions in the midst of a very painful time and it made the process less overwhelming. I never felt like I was a bother reaching out; he answered all of my questions thoroughly and in a very timely manner. I would highly recommend Ryan to anyone who needs a skilled, responsive, and compassionate attorney.
