I have needed help on a variety of issues from documenting power of attorney to legal defense and Mitchell Lee and the team of legal experts have come through each and every time and to my satisfaction. Distance has not been an issue. We are miles away, and they have represented me in all my legal matters as if they were right here beside me. For this reason, they are my "go to" people whenever I need to navigate legal issues and anything related to litigation. They are very thorough and follow up consistently and professionally until the matter has been settled.

I faced a serious criminal charge arising from an argument with a close family member. I was worried that it would ruin my record and my employment. I have a great job in another state. I spoke to Bret about my problem, and he explained how the local Chattanooga court system worked so I would know what would happen in court. He then worked on my case for months, until he had the case dismissed entirely. It was a family matter that got out of hand. For that, I am truly sorry. But, I am very thankful that it will not haunt me or my career in the future. These guys know what they're doing.

His communication and expertise are unmatched. He was able to help me get into a Veteran's program which when compete, will mean my DUI gets dismissed. I am so relieved to have this behind me! I will be forever grateful. Thank you for all the help.

My family and I live in New England and recently had a relative residing in Tennessee pass away with a small estate and no beneficiary, so we contacted the Tennessee Bar Association and they referred three Probate Lawyers. The second Attorney that we called and the one that we chose was Amanda Jelks. The consultation that we had was extremely informative and covered everything from our options, Tennessee Law, and legal fees. She, as well as her staff, were very professional and made the Small Estate Probate process seem effortless. I don't normally review products or services, however, Amanda and her staff definitely deserve 5 stars and we would highly recommend this Attorney to anyone.

I am a sole business owner yet registered as an LLC due to contractual reasons. I first went to a different Attorney and was advised that he wasn't sure about filing a chapter 7 because he said that they could take my business. Im a service business with no assets involved. He thought it would be best to file a chapter 13 with the possibility of the monthly payment increasing if I started making more money. I decided to hold off and do some more research and seek other counsel. I was fortunate enough to call Amanda Stofan. Best decision I ever made. Not only was she super down to earth and easy to talk too, She knew her business and she knew it well! 60 days later 70k discharged.....She gave me some great advice as to how to move forward from this point and even recommended some outlets I could use. Anyone thinking of filing any type of bankruptcy....PLEASE call Amanda first. We will be setting up an appointment soon with her 100% so she can handle some estate issues that we need to take care of. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much Amanda for your honesty, patience and most of all integrity!

Having a very complicated case, I had consulted with more than a few lawyers about my options to apply for a greencard over the years. As soon as we consulted with Mr. Lester, my wife and I knew that he understood our situation and would be able to help us. We promptly hired Mr. Lester to take my case and he has been extremely patient with me and all my questions. He explains everything clearly and doesn't sugarcoat anything. He is patient and extremely thorough to make sure everything is done correctly. Thanks to him clearly laying out my case, my I-485 was approved within 7 months from when Mr. Lester first submitted it. The best compliment that I can give Mr. Lester is that although he was not the first attorney I consulted with, thankfully he was the last!

Lester Law helped me through all the steps along the way. Started working with them back in 2016 to obtain my LPR. Very thankful they walked me through the overwhelming process. After obtaining my Greencard they then helped me with my extension and eventually my Naturalization. The entire process was stressful at times and overwhelming, as a lot of unexpected things happened along the way, but they were always only a phonecall away and super responsive. I never felt like I was left on my own. I highly recommend this firm as they do not treat you as a number, and actually care about you individual needs.

We all make mistakes. Upon hearing about Houston & Alexander PLLC, I consulted them regarding DUI charges among others. Mr. Underwood got court postponed for me on more than one occasion, until I was able to pay for their services in full. On my final court date they did their negotiations with the district attorney’s representatives, and got my charges reduced to reckless driving. I am fully satisfied as I can get on with my life and career with this all behind me. The biggest thing for me is that they are willing to work with you, they do a fantastic job working for you, and they are affordable. I will always recommend Jay Underwood or Houston & Alexander PLLC to anyone who needs legal help or advisement.

Being arrested and charged with a DUI was the most horrifying and humiliating experience that I have ever endured, and the potential ramifications that it placed on my professional career were even more terrifying.

From the very beginning, Andrea explained and walked me through the entire process and prepared me for just about every possible outcome. Andrea is extremely intelligent, caring, and very knowledgeable of DUI law, and because of her dedication and hard work on my case I was able to get my charge reduced to reckless driving.

Looking for a divorce lawyer? Then look no further! Don't let his young age fool you! Ryan always had my best interest in mind, and I felt like he charged a fair fee. During my initial consultation, I felt as though he listened to me, and my martial dissolution agreement was drawn up very quickly. At my request, most of my case was able to be handled via e-mail, so I did not have to spend a lot of time on the phone or at his office. When I did go to the office, Ryan and his staff were always smiling and friendly. Because Ryan had all of my paperwork in order for my uncontested divorce, I spent a very minimal amount of time in front of the judge during my hearing. He prepped me for the questions that I would be asked, and I felt very comfortable knowing that he was going to walk me through this process. I hope that I never need a divorce attorney again, but if I did, I would definitely use Ryan again!

Morgan Adams is an amazing well-spoken Lawyer. From day one he kept my family and I inform about everything that would take place and that needed to be done. We also received follow up letters to confirm what was said. The entire case was dealt with respect and privacy, the firm never missed a beat. They covered ever inch diligently. Overall Morgan and his team worked so well with me we began to know each other on a personal level which made the whole experience greater. Not to mention the wonderful message we received from all this hard work!

My Mom was rear-ended by a tractor trailer. The insurance company said they would take care of us and nothing happened. We hired Morgan and he found out how bad the trucking company was, proof the truck driver was speeding, proof the company destroyed vital evidence, and proof my Mom had a brain injury. He was great to work with and always helpful. We had a great recovery for my Mom. I would highly recommend this attorney for anyone.

Great truck accident lawyer. My husband was killed by a dump truck and I really apprecaited the kindness and compassion shown by Mr. Adams. He had an incredible presentation and taught the defense lawyer things about why his trucking company was responsible for the wreck. We ended up getting everything I wanted.

Mr. Lype provided very thorough and thoughtful information about the situation I brought to him for a preliminary consultation. He explained the relevant law and identified where there would be both strengths and weaknesses of a case if it were advanced, along with the possible risks. It was far more than I expected prior to an official engagement, and demonstrated to me the degree to which Mr. Lype cares about the law and helping people. I would highly recommend talking to him; even if he is not in a position to be engaged for a particular case, his experience and insights will be valuable.

Compassionate,understanding and remarkably prepared in understanding and presenting my situation to the institution that reviews and ultimately decides the outcome. His knowledge of all my past physical and emotional issues was nothing less than extraordinary. Hudson explained and clarified any and all questions and doubts that I had concerning the entire process, by the way which had a favorable outcome. I highly recommend Hudson and the entire firm to anyone who needs advice and representation for their disability concerns. Great personality and willing to go the extra mile with help and advice.

I am glad to report an excellent review of Hudson Ellis. Mr. Ellis is professional in every way, yet he is quite approachable and has the ability to make you feel important and secure. Each time we have met with him, he answered every question with full knowledge and confidence. I would certainly recommend Mr. Ellis to "go to bat" for anyone who needs a successful lawyer. We had a complicated situation but Mr. Ellis did his research and personalized what we needed and he won the case for us. The final ruling of the judge was "full favor"!

Jason was very knowledgeable of the applicable law, did quick research, prepared us well for the trial, was very supportive emotionally, honest, thorough, and very reasonably priced. We can not think of what he could have done that supported us better. He won the case and was praised by the judge on his preparation and presentation. Excellent attorney!

I hired Emma Flynn to review a contract that covered my purchase of the business assets of my former boss. Since I was technically starting a new business, the main thing I needed was protection from any claims against the former business by the IRS or other parties. The contract had to be ready to sign in a short amount of time and Mrs. Flynn delivered. She ironed out what was basically a rough draft, adding language and clauses that would protect me and removing anything that was superfluous. Her communication was timely and professional. I was able to meet with her to discus the details of my contract and follow up emails were answered immediately. Her bill was clear and negotiated up front, making it easy for me to know what to expect and focus on giving her the information she needed to assist me. Working with Mrs. Flynn was the best experience I've ever had with a lawyer. I would not hesitate to hire her in the future and refer her to others who may need her services.

Tracy is hands down one of the best lawyers around. Initially, I hired her due to her impressive knowledge on divorce matters but I learned later that she is also incredibly dedicated. There was never a moment where I was left questioning the process. If I had any questions, she was very quick to respond. Tracy handled my somewhat complicated divorce case very well through some difficult situations. I highly recommend 10/10.

She is the most professional, caring, committed lawyer I’ve ever come across and I will absolutely be coming directly back to her In event that I find myself needing legal council again.

Amanda Dunn of Houston and Alexander, represented my son who was facing a minimum 10 year sentence for a federal drug conspiracy charge. Through her excellent investigation skills, collection of evidence, support documentation and verbal arguments, she was instrumental in getting the sentencing cut in half. I’m very grateful for her advocacy and for keeping me informed throughout the 7-month process. Her compassion, expertise and professionalism was evident every step of the way. If I’m ever asked for a recommendation for a lawyer in the chattanooga area, I would jump at the chance to offer up Amanda’s name.

I got arrested for sleeping in my work van at an Applesbees. I had drank a little too much at the bar and didn't want to drive across the street to my hotel. After leaving Amanda a voicemail about my case, she called me back fast and had already looked up my case number and knew all about my case. She saved me time by postponing my first court date (my b.a.c hadn't came back yet), so it would of been a waste of time. When court arrived, she worked with the district attorney and judge to get the case dismissed and was successful. She's a good one. Very smart and respectable.

My son was arrested on a weekend on a mistaken identity, and Janie's first comment was "I've got this." She went to court on Monday morning, had the warrant and extradition recalled that morning, and worked non-stop to have him released in another state - all two days prior to July 4, with everyone else headed out of town. At the follow-up court hearing, all was dismissed. Janie was incredibly knowledgeable and prepared, which contributed greatly to the speed of handling the case. There are not enough stars for her.

Janie is a truly wonderful attorney. She is smart, strong and will not back down from a challenge. My case was bleak. It seemed inevitable I would be convicted and subsequently go to jail and no longer be able to work in my field. She wasn't going to let that happen. She fought hard for me and saved my career! She managed to get all charges dropped and I am forever grateful to her!! K.M.

Janie was able to get my court date set on Dec 4th instead of Jan 12. She was in constant communication with my family. She was able to get all charges dismissed and return me to my family. It was money well spent and I would suggest to you, if you find yourself on the wrong side of the law, give Janie Varnell a call.

Top Questions to Ask a Lawyer

When meeting with a lawyer for the first time, it's important to ask the right questions to understand their expertise and determine if they're the right fit for your legal needs. Here are some top questions to consider:

  1. What experience do you have with cases similar to mine?
    Ensure the lawyer has relevant experience in the specific area of law pertaining to your case.
  2. How do you charge for your services, and what are the estimated costs?
    Understand the fee structure, including hourly rates, flat fees, retainer fees, and any additional expenses.
  3. What potential outcomes can I expect from my case?
    While no lawyer can guarantee results, they can provide an assessment of possible scenarios based on their experience.
  4. What is your approach to handling cases like mine?
    Learn about their strategy, whether they prefer negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
  5. Who will be working on my case?
    Find out if the lawyer will handle your case personally or delegate tasks to other attorneys or paralegals.
  6. How will you communicate with me throughout the process?
    Establish expectations for updates, preferred communication methods, and response times.
  7. What is the likely timeline for resolving my case?
    Get an estimate of how long the process may take from start to finish.
  8. Do you have references from past clients?
    Testimonials or references can provide insight into the lawyer's professionalism and effectiveness.
  9. What are the strengths and weaknesses of my case?
    Understanding potential challenges helps you prepare and sets realistic expectations.
  10. Are there alternative ways to solve my legal problem?
    Discuss options like mediation, arbitration, or settlement to resolve the issue efficiently.

How to Check the Credibility of a Lawyer

Before hiring a lawyer, it's crucial to verify their credibility and ensure they're qualified to handle your case:

  1. Verify Their License:
    Check with your state's bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing.
  2. Experience and Specialization:
    Ensure the lawyer specializes in the area of law relevant to your case.
  3. Disciplinary Record:
    Look up any history of disciplinary actions or complaints through the state bar association.
  4. Client Reviews and Testimonials:
    Read reviews on legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to gauge client satisfaction.
  5. Professional Memberships:
    Membership in professional organizations or specialty bar associations can indicate a commitment to their field.
  6. Awards and Recognitions:
    Honors from reputable organizations reflect expertise and a positive reputation.
  7. Consultation Assessment:
    Use the initial consultation to evaluate their communication skills, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns.
  8. Ask for References:
    A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your initial meeting with a lawyer, come prepared with:

  1. Relevant Documents:
    Bring all documents related to your case, such as contracts, correspondence, legal notices, court papers, or evidence.
  2. Written Summary:
    Prepare a concise written summary of your situation, including key dates, events, and involved parties.
  3. List of Questions:
    Write down any questions you have about your case, the legal process, or the lawyer's experience.
  4. Financial Information:
    If applicable, bring financial documents like pay stubs, tax returns, or bank statements.
  5. Contact Information:
    Provide details of any witnesses or other parties relevant to your case.
  6. Personal Identification:
    Bring a valid ID for verification purposes.
  7. Pen and Notebook:
    Take notes during the consultation to remember important points.
  8. Budget Constraints:
    Be ready to discuss your budget and any financial limitations.

How Much Does a Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a lawyer varies widely based on several factors:

  • Fee Structures:
    • Hourly Rate:
      Lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on experience and location.
    • Flat Fee:
      For routine legal services like drafting a will or handling an uncontested divorce, lawyers might offer a flat fee.
    • Retainer Fee:
      An upfront payment against which the lawyer bills hourly fees.
    • Contingency Fee:
      Common in personal injury cases; the lawyer receives a percentage (typically 25% to 40%) of any settlement or award.
    • Monthly Retainer:
      For ongoing services, businesses might pay a monthly fee for a set number of hours or services.
  • Factors Affecting Cost:
    • Complexity of the Case:
      More complex cases require more time and resources, increasing costs.
    • Lawyer's Experience:
      Highly experienced lawyers may charge higher fees.
    • Geographic Location:
      Legal fees can vary significantly by region or city.
    • Additional Expenses:
      Court filing fees, expert witness fees, travel expenses, and administrative costs may be extra.
  • Estimating Total Costs:
    Request a detailed fee agreement outlining all potential costs.
    Discuss any additional expenses that may arise during the case.
  • Negotiating Fees:
    Some lawyers may be willing to negotiate fees or offer payment plans, especially for clients with financial constraints.
  • Pro Bono Services:
    For those who cannot afford legal services, some lawyers or legal aid organizations offer services at reduced rates or for free.
