I started my hunt for our new home in Tennessee from my home office in Long Island, NY. I called several agents explaining I would be coming down to house hunt; would they be interested? Several never got back to me. Miryana Eichelberger not only seemed eager to help but knowledgeable as well. I flew down several times and got to know Miryana. She was committed to the idea that my wife Rose and I find the right home in the right location. We knew what we wanted and expressed that to Miryana. It took a little time, but we found exactly what we were looking for. Miryana acted more like a friend than an agent, gently guiding us from properties that had problems we weren't aware of but that her seasoned eye spotted and towards those that matched our goals.
We found exactly what we were looking for.
Miryana was patient, spending days with us. Always helpful and friendly, we heartily recommend Miryana Eichelberger to anyone looking for an experienced, honest and quality agent.

Deana Holt was our agent here, and she has assisted us in both buying and selling a home. Deana goes above and beyond for her clients. She makes selling your home easy. We were moving across country, and Deana was constantly there to reassure me. At the end of the selling process, she went out of her way to buy us a basket of goodies for our road trip. Throughout both buying and selling, she has become more than just an agent to us. She is a trusted friend. If you are thinking of buying or selling your home, there is no one I would recommend more than Deana Holt. She is a consummate professional, and we trust her implicitly.

Ms. Clark made us so comfortable right from the beginning. She listened to us, answered every question we had & put us at ease immediately. She was very knowledgeable, direct & did exactly as she stated to us. We felt as if she truly had our back & it was such a huge relief! If we ever need a lawyer again, she'll be the 1st one we call on for assistance. Thank you Ms. Clark!

After 21 years of marriage & paying Baker, Foster Potter, P.C $10,000 dollars up front, for a divorce, which would entail separating marital assets, 2 special needs children, 1 of which was an adult. After waiting months and months, to get any guidance on my case, always told, your attorney is in court, or our entire organization is in the midst of re-structuring, I ended up walking away with a NDA that is incomplete, but can not be changed. Children that fall under the disabilites act are automatmaticaly covered in the State of TN, until they are 21! in my Marital Dissolution Agreement my children are only covered until they are 18 because this legal firm doesn't know how to handle special needs children or complex legal cases. Not only did it take months and months to ever recieve a reply from anyone in their office, when I would get someone on the line they were only listening with one ear. On the day of my mediation, my attorney was late, and then said NOTHING on my behalf. My mediator had to ask him questions about my deal and even then he just sat and shrugged his shoulders. He was seated and scrolling his iPad, when asked where is her budget? How much money does she need for her children? He said NOTHING! I had to hammer out a deal that I could live with and at one point I looked and asked him, "What do YOU think?" he just shrugged his shoulders over and over and I walked out with an incomplete deal and my children aren't even covered until they are 21, which is the LAW in TN! A law that this firm knows NOTHING about. DO NOT hire this firm if you have a complex long-term marriage that you are trying to separate from. They won't even approve this review because they know they took my money and ran and all they truly did was file the case electronically on my behalf. They didn't argue on my behalf. They suggested nothing and helped with nothing. I asked repeatedly after the MDA was agreed upon for a signed copy of the final decree so I could legally change my name and their lawyer snapped at me and said "It wasn't ready and I don't have it! I'm not jerking you around." Then my X said to me, "I got a copy of the final decree last week. You hired some very expensive clowns." and sent me a copy of the signed MDA and I FW'd it to their offices. He wasn't wrong. Absolute Insanity and terrible representation!

Not being one who writes reviews, I am writing because I am uniquely positioned to provide insight as I have observed Ms. Fleishman’s performance over the last 10 years in my own case, extended family’s case, and the cases of family friends. Ms. Fleishman delivered wins in each of these cases and demonstrated brilliant intellect, detailed knowledge of law, uncanny intuition, and a keen sense on where a case is heading and what may arise. Lori and her team completely turned my case around into a complete success.
In the past, I interviewed many attorneys and can empathize that it is incredibly difficult finding someone trustworthy, who is not primarily concerned with filling their retainer. Ms. Fleishman is on the opposite end of this spectrum as she genuinely gives counsel for the benefit of her clients. She cares more about winning your case, protecting you from any damage, and obtaining the healthiest outcome for your family. There have been moments when her advice to me went against any additional profit to her. This is the caliber of representation that I strongly believe deserves such a great review.
Ms. Lori Fleishman is a renowned top tier attorney who is highly regarded in the South, having represented both private individuals and major companies. She is regularly hired by the South’s finest, from company heads to industry executives. People even look for her from areas outside Tennessee. Many have heard of her wins, as she wins more than loses. If you are hiring her for your case, you’d be happy to know that you are hiring the Ivy League of attorneys. If average attorneys are Kias, Ms. Fleishman is definitely a Ferrari. Quite literally, she has a strong presence in the room and is extremely fast on her feet. A rarity in the law world, she has both an empathetic, objective eye, but is also well known in the courtroom for being an aggressive fighter. Her fierceness in defense of her clients has long been famed and discussed among attorneys and previous, happy clients. I have seen her in Gladiator mode and she will NOT back down in your defense. I cannot emphasize this enough. She is extremely thorough and will catch the little details others will overlook, which can turn cases around. This combined with her intelligence, strong poised presence in the courtroom, and 30+ year experience makes her someone you definitely want on your side in tough cases. I’d much rather have her on my side than against. From personal experience, Ms. Fleishman takes the time to listen to her clients, ask detailed questions, and can immediately consider a number of possible strategies and resulting scenarios. With 30 years of experience, her expertise clearly shows in the first meeting, in mediation and under pressure in trial cases. She has a natural ability to think beyond what is being portrayed, and figure out what is truly happening on the other side.
I read other reviews on this site and have to shake my head. Some of the negative reviews are not authentic as there are cases where disgruntled opponents or ex spouses have lost against her in court and log onto these sites to smear her name. They create fictitious, fake stories to retaliate against a fair trial that they did not win. Please be careful when considering. As with any review, please question the credibility and stability of these authors. Questioning is healthy. If you are not sure about an attorney, try scheduling an appointment and see for yourself. If the attorney clearly shows knowledge, addresses your concerns, and completely evaluates your situation, that is a good sign.
Under her representation, I rested easy knowing that I have the best possible attorney in the South. I have confidently recommended her to my own family and friends, and I’ve only gotten words of gratitude. So I can definitely recommend her to others on here without hesitation. Feel free to send the letters of appreciation to my email. It would be extremely difficult to find better.

Lori Fleishman is a great lawyer and I highly recommend her for handling your divorce and/or child custody case. However, before I get into all the reasons why I think Lori is the best lawyer for these law specialties, I want to set the record straight about an exceptionally negative review about Lori that I just read on this forum. It is titled, ‘Jacqui, child custody case.’ Jacqui rated Lori as "poor" in all categories. I thought, how is it possible that one of Lori’s clients would rate her so low? A lawyer that deserves such low ratings surely could not survive in such a competitive market as Knoxville. I knew that Lori’s law firm was thriving, so I went back to re-read this review to try to better understand the person’s perspective. While I was reading it, I realized that I knew the person that had written this review, based on terminology and writing style, and she wasn’t a client of Lori Fleishman. Let's call her Alicia (not her real name), who is my child's ex-mother-in-law. Alicia hired several lawyers during the past few years in an attempt to gain the upper hand in both the divorce and child custody case in which my child was involved. She used various dirty tactics to try to manufacture evidence that she could use in court. Lori was able to negate the fabricated evidence and use it to our advantage.
Because Alicia has not been able to prevail, she has resorted to character assassination of the opposing lawyer (Lori). A lawyer's reputation is their livelihood. This is an effective, but very dishonest and low class way to "get even." It is interesting to note that Alicia chose the name Jacqui to be the author of her bogus "review." Jacqui is the name of one of Alicia’s real life daughters. Jacqui is really a very nice person and I doubt if she is linked in any way to her Mother's deceitful actions.
This is a good example of how easy it is for someone to ruin a professional's reputation by using lies on feedback forums, like this one, or on social media. It makes me wonder how many other bad reviews of Lori on this website and others like it could also be Alicia’s work. It is becoming more and more difficult to distinguish between the good guys and the frauds, liars, and disreputable people online. They distort the truth for their own selfish motives.
The good guys are legitimately trying to help the readers of this forum by sharing their REAL experiences, both positive and negative, as one of Lori’s clients. If people are being truthful, I have no doubt that the good reviews will overwhelmingly outnumber the bad ones.
MY REVIEW
My wife and I first met Lori Fleishman four years ago when we were looking for legal representation for our child’s divorce, which included a child custody battle. We were very pleased with the outcome that Lori fought for in both the divorce and the custody battle. Lori has a great legal team to assure that her clients have the most competent and effective legal representation possible.We highly recommend Lori Fleishman to anyone who is looking for a knowledgeable, experienced, and effective lawyer to represent them in a divorce or a child custody dispute. Lori guided us through the turmoil and kept us in the loop of what was happening at each step in the process. She imparted to us her confidence that we would eventually prevail.
In summary, I can’t stress enough that you don’t realize how important it is to have really good legal representation, especially if you face off with someone like Alicia. You need a lawyer that can respond to the twists and turns in a case and not back down from any hostilities or difficult situations faced, especially when “special personalities" are involved. - George

Before I hired Ms. Fleishman, I looked at AVVO to see if she had any negative input. I was somewhat concerned by some of these comments. However, I know, first-hand, the kind of lawyer Ms. Fleishman is, and I also know that she gets results. It is true that any legal process takes a lot of time, and sometimes it takes much longer to get through all of the legal hogwash than we would like, but the end result is what is a determining factor for me. Ms. Fleishman has a history of having good results especially in child-custody matters. I know of no highly utilized attorney that has not received a negative comment from a client, or the other side, at one time or another. I suspect many of the negative comments made here, were made by someone other that the client. I have nothing but good to say about this attorney. Ms. Fleishman is professional, Ms. Fleishman is experienced in the law, and Ms. Fleishman gets results . . enough said!

Meghan Bodie was very compassionate, professional and made my divorce process smoother than I could have ever imagined. She took time to answer any questions I had and helped me every step of the way. I moved during the process, and she was able to complete my filing and finish everything across the distance. I highly recommend - couldn't have done it without her!

I am a single mother of 2 children, father showed very little interest in our children and had many addictions . After father tested positive for drugs and proof of how mentally unstable dad was she made an agreement to allow our children to be supervised by grandpa who left them alone with father while he was intoxicated. Ms. Bodie, gave me terrible advise and put my infant and toddler in harm's way. She did not show up for court and sent her paralegal who told the judge " I dont know the case well enough to answer that question" even the judge responded "then why are you here" I was also wondering the same thing. I was still charged for that day also. Many emails of not being responded to. Ms. Bodie has no idea what she is doing and charged me for a bunch of paperwork that she never showed or had signed by a judge so therefore, I could not use a single document in future court situations. She was not bold, she had very little knowledge of what my rights were, and did not fight for me or my children. Honestly,
this lady is heartless and money hungry. Shame on you for taking advantage of me and my children knowing our situation Meghan... After almost 4,000 dollars later, she did not help me further my case but actually set me back almost a year and a half and STILL have not established child support and father is still playing games and not responsible for following anything court or lawyers requested. It seemed like Meghan was not for me but for the father. I also know another family that she screwed over big time and put their foster child in harm's way when they wanted to adopt and give this child a better life. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND HER OR HER LAW FIRM. I'm surprised that she had positive reviews.

It's been a hard couple of months on my family. Without a doubt, the service that Meghan Bodie provided uplifted us in our time of need. While the ebbs and flows of the case didn't always go our way, Meghan always fought for us and our family's needs.

If I could have left zero stars , I would have. I hired Karen Jarnigan to represent me in an appeal for SSDI not SSI. In my hearing, I even had my psychiatrist show up to verify my condition. I 100% qualified for SSDI but the reason i was first denied (didn’t have an attorney) they denied me due to not being able to read his medical records on me. This is why I had my psychiatrist attend the hearing which is an unbelievable feat to began with. Good luck getting a MD to testify at a disability hearing to began with which I handled on my own with no help from Jarnigan. She was not ready at all for my hearing. She couldn’t have even reviewed my file as she was clueless. The judge made the hearing extremely confusing and Jarnigan did nothing to straighten out the confusion except sit there and let me try to explain along with my doctor. I am no attorney but honestly i handled everything and didn’t even need her looking back. All she did was make it worse. If i had had an adequate attorney, i am convinced i would have been approved. however, Long story short, the judge denied my SSDI, but possibly SSI?. After the hearing was over, i was furious and Karen Jarnigan told me to basically take a hike and i was lucky to get what I got which was basically nothing. After i went to another attorney Stephen Hyder after this happened and he told me he couldn’t believe how my case was handled and Jarnigan shouldn’t even have a law degree. Trust me when you read this, there is nothing that’s not true. Jarnigan’s receptionist/assistant was a nightmare as well which looking back I should have fired her then.

Unfortunately it seemed as though Robin just wanted rid of my case, and at times she sided with the other attorney and didn't fight for me. She also missed crucial items in my paperwork that resulted in my owing over $10,000 that I shouldn't have. Robin is a very nice person, but I would never recommend her as an attorney.

Best decision I ever made was hiring her for my divorce and custody case back in 2006. My son is now attending Mississippi State University and will be graduating in 2 years. I am confident that his life wouldn’t have been this fortunate if Lauren didn’t win my case. Great all around and even better to watch her inside the courtroom. Great to see her break the opponent.

I got terrible motorcycle accident that crippled me in 2001 and that time l was customer of Roger Gilbert, famous Knoxville lawyer that dump my case telling me that " there is not enough money on the case" and that he can't do anything about that. I was desperate cause my hospital bill was $87000 and l had no insurance. Priest of my church recommended me Mike Nassios to help me. When Mike came to my hospital, which btw l spend 35 days, he said that he will try his best and if no success he will not charge me. Two years later and after a lot of struggle, he made me wealthy and compete satisfied and made my life more financially comfortable than before accident. His lions performance and warm human soul make me confident to recomand him to anyone, which I did and he never disappointed neither me neither clients that I referred to. To me his service is A+++

He never seemed to stay on top of my case, it seemed he wanted my family to do his leg work. He was less aggressive than he needed to be & it almost seemed like he was scared to step out & do his job. We actually went out & met with folks that he should have been doing. He is way too slow getting info needed in my case, leaving us again to do the research.
2nd case scenario: auto accident-truck hit me as I was walking out of business-3 yes ago still he has Nothing for me.

She was also knowledgeable about the issues that brought me to court. I was given her contact information and told the best times to reach her and also to email anything I thought would be of value to her. I am looking forward to getting my case resolved through Stephanie.

I have hired this attorney twice. Both times he was efficient and won my cases. I did not hesitate to pay for his work. He seems to know the system and those that work in the system. I appreciated his honesty in evaluating the possibilities before going into the courtroom. He appeared in the courtroom on time and did not draw out his fees like other lawyers. He did not talk to me like I was uneducated. The process was as good as it could have been under the circumstances.

He took on my case and stood in my place to straighten out issues I had started without an attorney. I'm still working with him and he's become a friend of mine in the process.
Somethings I wish would have moved faster but in hindsight I'm lucky they didn't as a whole new world of options have since presented themselves.
The reason for the 5 stars is he opened up to me on why we haven't moved faster on a certain issue and I really doubt another lawyer would've told me what he did.
When the time comes he'll stomp all over the opposing parties. People have to remember things usually don't go as quick as you'd like.
I'm sticking with him and have more things in the fire that will come his way.

I hired this person to protect me in my divorce. It was my house before marriage so I owned it. Ex wife even agreed. He tells me if I will sell my house to my ex he will forego his bill. I sign a quitclaim he says she needs for financing. She goes same day and registered it. I come home my ex is moving in and police make me leave. I could not get work I did on computer for payment out of my house. It's been 2 months since divorce final. I'm still not paid, I'm now homeless living in car, I am disabled and had been unemployed for 2 years. I cannot tell you how much money he has cost me and has left me in worse condition I've ever been in. Would never return phone call or text, he emailed me twice, Now he has lien on monies due me. He's a class act. Before I fired him, I called him 5x in about an hour, no answer. My friend says use my phone. He answered, surprised that i was on the phone. This being 3 weeks with no communication from him and my being kicked out of house. My car got repo. You have been warned.

My name is Leah Marsh and I wanted to take a moment and recommend my attorney David Boyd. He did a great job for me in my divorce. He fought hard for me to obtain alimony from my cheating husband and even uncovered hidden bank accounts that I didn't even know about!
I could not recommend him more!

I wanted to take a brief moment and recommend Attorney David Boyd. He is a fighter and he fought for me during my divorce. He is expensive, but for me, he was worth it and I would use him again (heaven forbid I marry another egotistical narcissist like my ex!).
Make an appointment and evaluate him for yourself.

It is my pleasure to leave a brief review for Attorney David Boyd. He is aggressive both in court and when he deals with other lawyers, believe me for I've seen him in action.
Expensive, yes. Effective, absolutely.
If you are in need of legal help, he should be your first call. Visit with him and make your mind up for yourself.
