I tried contacting Stephanie Ritchie 4 different times and never got to speak with her. Her secretary took my notes down, but I never got a call back from Ritchie. I wanted to hire her for a criminal trial case, but she was uninterested in hearing what I had to say. I guess after looking at my charges, not knowing that the 3 major counts of the 5 counts, have been dismissed, she prejudged the case, without hearing any of the details. To be honest, this couldn’t be any easier, I would defend myself if I could. This is just a simple case of a small town, who you know, and lawyers and prosecutors, rubbing elbows behind closed doors. Even when money is no object. I guess some lawyers are afraid of trial. But I’m the one facing max time. Trial is where the truth comes out. Innocent people aren’t afraid to go to trial. What a disappointment. I wouldn’t hire her now, if she took it for free.

This is the best lawyer. I would recommend her before anyone else. Finding a lawyer is difficult but finding one who loves what she’s doing and actually care about you isn’t hard to find because she’s right here. Stephanie is amazing. She goes above and beyond to get what you need done.

Absolutely lovely people. Truly caring and concerned for my Dad. We both appreciated their time and concern on preparing a Will, Power of Attorney and Advanced Directive. Would absolutely come back to them, should we need additional help with estate planning. I wish they were licensed in CA to help me with an issue at home!

Mr. Anthony Kirby was my attorney for family court proceedings. He and his assistant Morgan were very kind, helpful, and knowledgeable. I highly recommend Patton and Pittman and specifically Anthony Kirby for all family court matters.

When my life came to a stop almost 3 years ago we reached out to the firm and got the ball rolling. In the first part of my case Chris Clark was the lead on my case. He was very prompt and respectful. Him and his firm did there extrem due diligence to to see to it that everything was taken care of. Once we won, the second half of my case was then lead by Jeff Campbell. Jeff like Chris did his very best at being on top of everything every step of the way. They both made me feel safe and secure. I will be forever grateful for what they have done for me. I have my life back because they faught for me. The firm as a whole was always nice, and respectful when I would call, and was on top of things when it came to responding to questions or concerns.

I got his information from a friend. I spoke to his Assistant paralegal and she made me an appointment. I went to see him and he spoke to me for a few minutes. Told the front lady how much to charge me. Didn’t wanted to listen to everything or some of what I wanted to say. Then walked out of the office to go get his lunch and I sat there and waited for him. When he came back he asked if I had already paid and stared to walk upstairs. I asked him what if this person tries to harm me. He said just call me. In this instance it did happen and guess what they don’t have a voice mail or anyone to talk to after hours. I called so many times about my case and the paralegal lady said he is the one you spoke to so he will call you back. He never did. One day I was threatened by this person and I called him and he said call the cops. I did call them. I took care of this whole situation by myself and I went to his office in Nov 2021. Do you think they once called and asked if everything was okay or did I needed help. I come from a family of lawyers, I didn’t wanted to get my family involved in this because it was my mess and I wanted to take care of it on my own. They made me a portal. Guess what nothing was loaded on it. I paid them cash and guess what nothing was done. Please I highly suggest you research before you hire someone out there are plenty of resources online. Don’t waste your hard earned money.

I had heard that Mark was a good attorney by a friend. He referred him to me. I hired him for divorce matters with child custody.
He was months behind on filing correct paperwork, and his office is disorganized. He used MyCase to provide you with documents but they were never timely.
He talked about other clients loudly, and in front of other clients. I've walked into the office and there he was gossiping about an opposing attorney's personal issues and a former client In the waiting area! This was shocking and highly unprofessional.
His staff was rude and lied to me for Mark and about my case. My calls and emails had been ignored for weeks.
When I took my file to my new attorney, I found out that little to nothing had been done on my case, and things that were supposed to be filed weren't. My ex almost won a significant advantage because of that!!
Don't make the same mistake I did!

Travis deserves and has earned more than 5 stars! His knowledge of the law is in your best interest! You’re not just a billable client, you’re treated like a friend, family! There’s no sugar coating, it’s the hard facts! All this is also true for his Legal Secretary (Ester) and his Paralegal (Elizabeth)! You need a team that knows the law and works for the best outcome for you, , who listens and goes above and beyond, THIS is your team!

I met with this law firm to assist me in a contract. The meeting went fine, they agreed to do the work. A little over a week later I received an email saying it would be done any day now. A week or so later I reached out to get an update. But for some unknown reason, they will not return my calls and they will not return my emails. Up until now, I thought things were moving along fine. Now I have missed my deadline and I am searching for another attorney. I think I deserve to know why I am being treated in such an unprofessional manner. All previous interactions were pleasant. I’m not sure what happened. Very bizarre behavior for an attorney.

I am not a client, but a defendant in a case with T.J. Samson Community Hospital which this firm represents. This case is about collections which I talked to Crystal in billing about today. I’d like to first say, I am not upset my hospital bills were turned over to collections, and have no problem paying for them. I started out nice and eager to figure this all out and start paying my bills, however from the second the call started she was rude and carried a condescending tone. I have never dealt with a matter like this before, therefor I didn’t know what was expected of me, but I do know what’s expected of her considering she works in public service. Much like a child, she was quick to cut me off, talked to me like I was an imbecile, and raised her voice when I called her out for the way she was speaking to me. I am usually not one to complain but the matter was as simple as needing to know what payment to make and where and she could not get through a 5 minute conversation without being bitter and cold, even refusing my phone call when I had tried to reach her again to figure out what payment I agreed to. Although I cannot speak to the attorneys capabilities or manners, I’ve read the other reviews and it seems as though this place lacks severe communication skills and common decency.

10/10 recommend Mr. Mathis. He answered all our questions regardless how small they were and was super quick in answering back emails. I trusted him with my immigration process and have no regrets! We even moved across the country while our case was still pending, and Mr. Mathis was still able to represent us. He transitioned smoothly and did not make the distance affect his way of working for us in the case. We cannot thank him enough for the job he did!

I called for a consultation or appointment. The front desk misheard me and stated they do not handle employment cases that would be a Davidson county matter. As I started to correct myself she hung up on me.
Won't know what the lawyers are like if I can't get past reception.
Quite rude.

If I could, I wouldn't even give them one star. I had a court date, and he wasn't even there to represent me! Since February, his office only called me once. Yes, things did work out in my favor but, no thanks to him. How can you schedule a mediation when you know you have a court date?!? No apology, no nothing! If that was me as an attorney with that kind of mix-up, I would've refunded my client. 100% pathetic service!

Jef represented my daughter and throughout the duration of the case, he was always there. There wasn’t a moment we felt that we were just a number or overlooked. The outcome was better than we ever hoped for, and that is solely due to Jeff’s hard work and great reputation. Tim, his partner was also incredible and helpful. Not a better firm in the world.

Non responsive , irresponsible time management , etc. hired this gentleman and paid $1,000 before ever meeting him. After being rescheduled 3 times due to him “ being busy /sick/ out of the office I knew then and there he wouldn’t be able to properly represent me. While waiting in the waiting room , On our well awaited first meeting , I was groped on by another client of his whom was around the age of 60-70. I didn’t press charges since the other ladies in office were so sweet about removing me from the area he was in. Properly settled and appreciated. I wish I could say the same for my experience with the attorney I hired. I was rushed in my first meeting. I believe it lasted 3 mins before being abruptly told “ to reschedule since he was busy for another court date “ after that any phone calls in regard to my case and or emails were never answered and I never saw him again. My case was dropped by him about 8 days prior to my docket call ...If you’re looking for an attorney that is on top of his game , responsive , there for you , and has great time management , then he’s not going to be the right person for you. I had a simple harassment case and now have another attorney. If I had seen these reviews prior to hiring I would’ve went with someone else. Mr. Clemmons was very responsible in picking up his pieces in dropping my case last minute and offered wonderful alternative routes as well as was responsive in a very timely manner. If you need to hire anyone from this firm I’d suggest clemmons , sensing , but not grimes. I just don’t think I got what I wished which was to be represented wonderfully.

Jeff, did an amazing job, representing me. He immediately just into action once, we told him everything that happened, and help me get my baby back the same day. If it wasn’t for him, I’d have to wait, but with his quick thinking, we got him back. I️ would definitely recommend, and have him represent me again.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!

They screen calls, the paralegal and front desk clerk are by far the most unprofessional two people I have met. An I used Ryan McFarland personally 2 years ago as my attorney. Unless you're an attorney yourself they try to belittle and speak down to you. After over 2 months of emails and sending paperwork that needs to be signed per a final divorce degree they will string you along and make no attempts to remedy the situation. If you're a woman and love having another woman treat you like a child this is the best place for you to go. If not I wouldn't bother looking one second more into this company for any type of fast legal process.

I fully entrusted Ryan McFarland. He stated to me when I first retained him, “I will see you through this to the end”. That provided me with so much hope and encouragement then. In my experience with this attorney and his office, is more often than not there are a LOT of communication break downs. Being left in the dark not knowing and uncertain of things. I would ask questions and sometimes they would go unanswered. The last communication breakdown resulted in, Ryan McFarland, resigning from my case. This happened without warning, I was lead to believe I was going in for an appointment to discuss the process and start the preparations for the divorce trial with children and domestic abuse involved. To my surprise, I get there, to be turned away. Now, during the holidays having to pay a whole new retainer fee for a new attorney to pick up where someone else left off. I personally, only want someone to represent me that stands true to their word and actually follows through. From my experience, if you’re looking to hire someone that is dedicated, has great communication skills, also has assistants and paralegals that have excellent communication skills and that will actually see you through the end of your case. Ryan McFarland isn’t the attorney to hire.

Kathryn has been representing me for about two years now and a custody battle. I was not referred to her by a friend or anyone. When my son's mother took my son the next day I was trying to find a lawyer that could see me immediately. Kathryn was the first lawyer I could find that was able to immediately start the paperwork. I was not sure if I was going to use her in the long run but after the first couple court sessions I was so satisfied with her and trusted her I kept her as my lawyer. She is very honest and won't tell you she will give you the world just to disappoint you. She is very knowledgeable when it comes to child custody and the laws. When it comes to my son and court I get very nervous but having her as my lawyer gives me a lot of comfort. I would definitely recommend her to any of my friends or family.

My ex and I split up and I tried to work out things and be amicable, but you know some people everything fight. That's what this was a fight. Unlike the 2 other reviews for me, John was a bulldog. He made sure I got the agreement I wanted and nothing that I did not. He kept me informed, emailed me consistently, and scheduled appointments around my schedule. Then when my ex refused to pay child support he fought in court to ensure I did. After the judge revoked his visitation I was sued by his parents for grandparents rights. I was angry and of course sad because I felt wronged by his family. After fighting that John was honest with me that we were going to win, but did I want that, for my child? Did I want my bitterness to impact his life? Those aren't his words of course they're mine, but he made me realize that my inlaws weren't the problem, my ex was and they did kick him out of their house when they found out he was using which was my issue all along. So I called my mother-in-law, we cried, and we worked it out. Most lawyers may not have been so blunt, but it saved my relationship with them. Although my ex is not around I am still close to my inlaws, even since I've remarried. He was on top of it for me and I'd hire him again if the need arose.

Good legal mind good legal strategies but awful manners. He is very sarcastic and has an odd sense of humor. He told two other attorneys what we spoke about which I found odd since he is a grown man and I am a housewife. I guess gossip is gossip. He has a real smartmouth on him but he knows his stuff when it comes to the law.

Joseph Weyant took on my case and talked a good talk at the beginning, but he did very little to resolve it. He would evade my questions about what he was doing like a career politician, or just completely ignore my emails and calls for months to the detriment of my case. I eventually realized it was because he wasn’t doing anything on it. In the rare event that he responded to my many attempts to reach him, he still managed to evade my questions about what he did, and where we were at, and instead talked about what he was going to do and then didn’t do. I would get off the phone feeling like I just spoke to a sleezy, career politician. I would have been better off acting as my own lawyer.

I live out of state and needed a local attorney for a real estate matter concerning my deceased brother's home. Other attorneys I contacted in the area either told me it would be a several month process costing me exorbitant fees or failed to return my inquiry calls. I had researched all the attorneys I contacted. Then I called Mr. Weyant.
He was knowledgeable and professional. After a consultation, Mr. Weyant advised me of the process to transfer ownership. Later the same day, I received a detailed e-mail from him after he'd visited the office of the Registrar of Deeds. I was provided with a detailed outline for resolving the specifics of my situation to effectively transfer the property. The fee for his service was reasonable. I met with Mr. Weyant the following week when I came to town to conclude the matter.
I was impressed with Mr. Weyant because of his courteous, direct, and efficient manner. I felt he was doing his best for me in resolving my problem. He was also very accessible by phone when I called with questions.
I highly recommend Mr. Weyant for those with needs in his areas of expertise. I was most pleased I found him.

I was referred to Joe by a friend who had an excellent experience using him for her divorce. I was hesitant because of the other review on this site. I knew my friend would not steer me wrong, so I decided to hire Joe. I am very glad I did. He was upfront with me about what Tennessee law allows. He fought hard for everything I wanted even though some requests were out of the ordinary. Some things we succeeded on and some things we didn't but he gave it his all. He always returned my calls if I had to leave a message and was always very professional. I would recommend Joe to anyone who asks me if I know a good lawyer!!

Our son was going through a custody case that spanned two states. Our lawyer in my sons resident state located Mart for us. We spoke over the phone, discussed our case, and hired Mart on the spot. Why would we hire someone based solely on a phone conversation? While on the phone, Mart immediately reviewed the documents sent to him, quickly gathered critical information from us, explained how the legal processes in the two states are different, laid out the potential challenges, and explained how he would help us. Based on this conversation it was clear that he was completely competent, knowledgeable and ethical. When we met, he took the time necessary to fully understand our case and our concerns. He answered all our questions and prepared us for what was yet to come. It was clear Mart was in control and knew exactly how to proceed. Mart is a highly experienced, knowledgeable, mature lawyer who combines strategy with knowledge and ethics to represent his clients.

We hired James Phillips to help our son who is in the Navy currently going through separation.He has been our attorney and has been there for us over the past four and a half months. He has always made himself available to us despite his hectic schedule helping others in the military.

She is only there for political reason. It is sad to know she choose what looks good to her instead of doing what’s right. To be honest most of our country has become that way.

Judge olita failed to be fair and impartial. She held the one side accountable for a violation of an order. How ever very shortly after the other party had been in contempt many times and she through it all out with out taking the evidence in to account. I believe this judge is done being on the bench and needs and thorough examination on values in the judiciary system.

In 20220 my divorce was finalized. Because of Katherine Olita my ex-wife was granted full custody. I had proof of my ex's then-husband hospitalizing my children multiple times, evidence of my ex drinking and using drugs in front of my children, and my ex-wife leaving the infant children home alone to go sleep with other men. She knew my ex-wife because at the time she was employed at Montgomery County Sheriffs' office. Because of this, she would not allow me to speak, only my ex-wife. My ex-wife alleged, with absolutely no evidence, that I killed a dog, and Olita wrote "The court finds this detrimental to the children" again with absolutely no evidence. Because Olita granted my ex-wife full custody, my children had to witness her trying to kill her husband with their baseball bat. The witnessed their mom go to jail. They have also been moved around four times with their mom and are now currently moving again. Katherine Olita acts as if she cares so much about family law, and adoptions but she has absolutely no problem ripping families apart and permanently causing trauma to small children, just to benefit a friend. The best part of all this is that my ex-wife tried to get an order of protection against me to prevent me from seeing my daughter prior to deployment. Judge Olita would have been the judge but as soon as she saw all the charges my ex-wife had (assault, and custodial interference) she recused herself because she realized she made a bad choice and did not want her name on it.

I’d like to say thank you from the bottom of my heart to Stacy Turner and Sherry Plunkett for the FANTASTIC representation in my custody matter. I couldn’t have asked for a more fierce yet compassionate and understanding legal team. I’m so glad I found you all and have been singing your praises to anyone who will listen for quite a while now. Hopefully I don't have need for an attorney again in the future but if I do, I will most certainly be calling Stacy Turner once again.

I had a simple case of a pissed of soon to be ex-wife and ended up with a bogus charge. I paid Stacy to defend me. All she did was tell me to take what she could get. I wanted to go to court and she advised me otherwise. Since then my life has been an uphill battle with regards to my custody of my daughter. My ex made claims that were so far fetched and all Stacy saw was dollar signs. I was moving out of state and I told my ex that I was going to seek full custody. I had never been in trouble in my life. I called Stacy to try and get my record cleared and she would not talk to me. She had her staff person laugh and tell me I am lucky not have been a cellmate. Useless! Just another example of a Clarksville TN attorney.

If i was able to give her no stars I would. VERY EVIL lady and does no works. Makes excuses of why she couldn't get things done. She worked on my case for 9 mths. All she cares about is getting paid and will find the most expensive way to charge you. I had to get another lawyer.. DO NOT HIRE THIS MONSTER

I used Ms. Evans for my divorce, because one of my friends used her (for an uncontested divorce) and said it was quick and easy. My divorce was contested, and I was prepared to be in it for the long haul. However, i wasn't prepared for the astronomical fees charged by Ms. Evans, and how she ate up nearly $10k in a year and got ZERO results. By the time my divorce went to trial, I could no longer afford her services. After I dropped her, she somehow worked the books to reflect that I owed $2000 more dollars, and she didn't do anything. There was no mediation, and all the money was eaten up by her paralegals constantly calling me and filling out arbitrary paperwork for me, OVER AND OVER. None of it was necessary or mattered in the divorce. None of it was requested by the judge. Once I dropped her as my attorney, she went back and canceled all my court dates, and when I complained, she had them reset, and then CHARGED ME AGAIN. Do not go here unless you're prepared to pay. She is vicious, and will fight, but she will also fight you for your arm, leg, and first born child to pay her fees, and she'll make sure to double charge and pad the bill.

This attorney was recommended by a friend, she was the "ROARING LIONESS" in court. She went WAY above and beyond the call of duty to make my situation turn out in my favor. Her drive is unmatched, she was a STAND out in a room of more than 7 (court appointed) attorneys in the room. She was the ONLY one that wld stand up to DCS. They rest of them wanted to follow "normal" procedures for DCS. Contact me if you have ANY questions..

his Lawyer is what I refer to as a Used Car Sales man. He speaks a good game, but there are no actions behind his words. I hired him, briefly. During that time my case was so mismanaged. I am now trying to correct all the things he said he did on my behalf, but didn't. I just found this site. Had I know about his win loss ratios and lack of ethics, I would not have hired him. It does not surprise me given the way he acted while supposedly working on my case.
