Charles Cain was super rude and sarcastic towards me for some reason? He left out important information on documentation to be submitted that I pointed out to him. He wasn’t interested in doing a good job for a client, seemed like a bother for a few bucks!

What an amazing experience! Megan was absolutely wonderful!!! Can not express enough how thankful I am for her. I've had dealings with Megan for over two years now and I can tell you now, some of these negative reviews are either, flat out lies, or Google claims old reviews from years ago when she had partners as "recently ". There are no men operating out of this office as some of these reviews claim. It's just Megan, her paralegal, and a large friendly dog. Megan is a rare gem in the legal community. A God fearing, horse riding, pistol packing, dog loving, southern belle, who will look you in the eye and speak the honest truth. And she will do it for less of the cost than any other attorney in Williamson County.

My divorce began with a physical assault by my then husband. Needless to say I was traumatized and Rebecca not only listened calmly to me she walked me through the steps we needed to take. She was a fantastic advocate and worked diligently to assure I received what I was entitled to have.

I hired this attorney to handle my divorce a few years ago. I paid her $4000 up front. I told her exactly what we wanted to do and could she please file my divorce for me. She did nothing for 6 months and when she finally sent over my MDA, it was completely inaccurate and not at all what we had discussed. She did not listen to anything I had to say and literally tried to get me to do things to drag my case on so she could charge more fees. Her communication was horrible. I eventually fired her and lost all my money. I had to hire someone else who also charged me $2000. Ms. Byrd even sent a bill after I fired her to collect for a copying fee for my records which I gave her at the beginning. Do not waste your time with this attorney. All she cares about is taking your money.

I have used Rebecca more than once and have been very pleased with the outcome. She has always been available for a console when I had questions or concerns. She is well respected in the court system in Williamson county. I have learned you never go to court without a good attorney, and I consider her one of the best. I hope I don’t need legal services again, but if I do, she’s the first I would call.

I want to start by saying Mr. Milazo is a great conversationalist. He was easy to speak with and encouraging when I felt rather distraught over my situation. However, Mr. Milazo was just that, "all talk." He charged for services never rendered and continued to drive my bill up until I finally dismiss him. I eventually hired another attorney that did a fantastic job.
Sadly, Mr. Milazo is, like most, a small fish in a large pond trying to make a name for himself. If he does not show you results early on in your case, move on to someone that can genuinely help you.

I was in a crisis and trying to get a restraining order against my boyfriend and he agreed to meet with me at the spur of the moment the same day, which was much appreciated. But first thing i noticed walking in was that he had his assistant and then one other girl just lingering around the door listening to everything i had to say about my very private and high profile case. I didnt appreciate extra ears being in the room doing nothing but wanting to hear all the details of my horrible situation for her own curiosity. I was very distraught and didnt have the mind to tell this chick to get lost.
Secondly, as i started to talk about obtaining palimony, this lawyer starts letting out sarcastic "ha's" and then saying, "i hate to break it to you but there is no law that will give you palimony." I already know this, but palimony IS recognized in the courts of california even though it is not a law there either. I was trying to ask him if it was recognized in court system here in TN, but he kept repetitively saying the same thing as though I was "missinformed." He obviously didn't understand what I was asking and kept on with his know-it-all, "youve been missinformed" and "somebodys been pullin your leg" attitude when he is completely ignorant to the way CA courts work. I was only asking if the system is the same in TN; I wasn't trying to have a debate about "the law."
Then, he starts urging me to go to a battered womens shelter where they will "help me." I was upset, i wasnt beat up so wtf? The only help i wanted was a preventative restraining order and turned out That since I didnt have a black eye, my story of past abuse wasnt really enough to warrent a restraining order.
I was insulted when he kept pushing the womens shelter pamphlet to me saying i should probably go there. For what? Thats not what i came to his office for. I have money, why would i go to a womems shelter and sleep on a cott when I can get a hotel room?
Anyways thats my opinion. The extra ears in the room was very unprofessional, not to mention that they all three stepped out of the doorway to proceed to loudly wisper as though i cant here what they are saying. Idiots. This is a private matter Milazo, extra ears should not be in the room. If you have something to say u say it in front of me. You dont take the details of my case and proceed to gossip in the doorway. I really feel like I should not have gone there and should have made them sign a privacy contract before telling them my case. All felt very elementary and gossipy... Which my case was very juicy i admit, but i wish i didnt tell these people anything.

My son’s dad recently used this company to change our current parenting plan. We went to mediation and settled on a new plan but I never got a copy. My son’s father recently passed away and I called to ask for a copy to see if it got finalized because like I said we went to mediation and I never heard anything after that.
I called to ask to speak to someone so I could get a copy to prove my son’s father did have partial custody of our son.
They refused to speak to me and told me they couldn’t since I was the other party even though the other party is passed away. Very unprofessional on their end.

I am not happy with this firm at all. Settled divorce, however there was 120 days for the other party to pay what was due, and the file was to stay open.
days passed no money and called - they will not even talk to me unless I start the process from the beginning etc.
Very unprofessional and I will be filing a complaint with the Board of Professional Responsibility. I doubt it will do much good, but other than this what can one do.

Eric served our case with an incredible amount of professionalism and compassion. Honest, ethical and clear direction was what we found with a very complicated case that had multiple implications. Going into something like this you have an immense amount of fear, his advice left us calm and confident. In the end we resolved the issue and have been able to move on. Life isn't perfect and in those cases you are lost with what direction to go in, I would pick Eric 10 out of 10 times.

Please do yourself a favor, never hire or refer this attorney, completely unethical and inappropriate unprofessional. I literally don’t know why he’s practicing law. He couldn’t even handle a simple order of protection. He also put my case on the back burner and weaseled his way out one month before trial, and not only cost me the case, but also never gave me a resolve. he doesn’t even know how to use his own computer couldn’t download or view any of the files and made me do most the work, practically filling out everything and providing all pictures and evidence to do with the case he literally couldn’t even communicate effectively with attorneys on my behalf. he also celebrated early and continued to congratulate me on how the cases pretty much over the cases already won, all I have to do is this one more thing and ultimately withdraws one month prior to trial he yelled at me he cussed at me I could go on and on with specifics, please keep your hard earned money and do your research this was a terrible experience. I felt very low priority to him. He thought that this case would be easy therefore, he didn’t do everything that he could to get it done. Not only did it cost me $4500 but ultimately left me with court cost and attorney fees totaling over $25,000. He couldn’t even enforce the contract that was given to us absolutely the worst possible experience.

Mr. Davis has been my attorney for over 20 years and have been very pleased with his services. Like most GOOD attorneys, his schedule is hectic and it may be a day before he returns my call. If he knows its urgent, I've had him call me back very promptly. As far as being committed to my legal matters both personally and business, he has always handled everything very professionally. It also helps that he has never failed to provide excellent legal services to myself and everyone I have recommended to him.

Very disappointed in this legal console which cost me over $20,000 a few years ago. I felt she fought more for my ex than she did for me. She caved in the mediation which cost me over $250,000. Not to mention all follow-up advise that was given started off positive, then when it came down to action, she caved again. I wouldn't recommend hiring her.

Our daughter went through a divorce a few years ago, which means it affects the whole family as well. We found Ms Story to know exactly what to do and when to do it. Since her focus is on the client, we were able to sit back and observe her in action. She was professional and thorough and kind. When anything has come up afterwards for our daughter she has been there immediately and effectively. She is very good!

When I hired him, he said he was the sheriff in town and he follows cases where the money is. I believed him but he sold himself to the people I sued. Any penny is a good deal for him, since he is scared to be in court dealing with real attorneys. My suggestion, hire a big firm. This guy is a waste of time.

Mr. Grauberger is well versed in multiple facets of law and is truly a resourceful person to have on your side that gets results. He is a down-to-earth family man that is very attentive to his client's needs and works very hard to get the job done. If you're looking for a great attorney in the Mt. Juliet or Nashville, Tn area, Mr. Stephen Grauberger should be at the top of the list! I am very grateful for all he has done to help me and my family! Thank you Steve!

This lawyer will act so caring and then she will pounce! She did (her paralegal) paperwork, I did the footwork. I carried, so my case would go quicker, paperwork to Chattanooga, paid a notary and brought paperwork back to Parker. She charged me. Then on the court date, she was 45 minutes late to meetme, we went to the court house, she charged me for meeting her when we only said hello and left for the court house. At the beginning of the whole case she said she would only charge me a certain amount, which I immediately paid in full. She said if there was nothing substantial happens, she would not charge anymore. Well she decided she needed more. I would try to talk with her or her assistant and they were not available. Then after almost 7 years she takes me to court because I wouldn't pay her for all of the work I did. I had a wedding I had to attend in FL on the court date, she would not talk to me nor would her lawyer. Of course I lost when I could not show up. Not sure how she sleeps at night, but people like this do not care. Stay away!!!!

Miss Ward settled my case for pennies on the dollar. After the settlement I learned that the insurance company was authorized to pay $25,000.00 without representation and without going to court to settle the case. I know this to be true because my co worker, who was also injured, accepted the settlement and declined Miss Ward's offer to represent her.

Ashley was a great lawyer. She represented my divorce cases in div 9 and after the judge made his ruling we found a mistake that needed to be immediatedly corrected. Ashley stayed in the courthouse with me until we were able to see the judge again so that he could make the corrections on the divorce decree. I thank her for being patient, especially when one doesn't know in's & out's about the law.

Look out if your spouse is represented by one of Woodruff’s “lake vacation buddies” because he will sign an ex-parte restraining order again you, keeping you from your own child, with ZERO EVIDENCE OR PROOF of whatever crazy allegations are put to paper. This guy should be ashamed of himself. Disgusting excuse for a judge; he does not follow the LAW. Narcissist.

I hired Mr Miller in September 2016. He charged me a flat fee to handle my case. We went to a hearing that lasted approx 1.5 hours. He promised to file petitions before Christmas 2016. I heard again from him in February explaining that he has been sick and asking for more money to file petitions. By mid April no petitions were filed. He deserves 0 stars.
