Wow! There are so many good things I can say, but I'll start with this: Have you ever wanted reliable, patient, and thorough attorneys in your back pocket for life's everyday challenges? Look no further! The Nesheiwat Law Group provides just that, backed by intellect, expertise, and amazing customer service. I met Daniel and Sean in 2021 when I had an incident that left me displaced and living in a hotel for a few weeks. Daniel, the attorney, and Sean, the paralegal, helped resolve my issue within a matter of months. In 2023, I encountered another concern when I was rear-ended on I-65 in Brentwood. I immediately contacted them again, knowing they could assist with my concerns, and they did. This law firm, along with Daniel's wife Christine, advocated for me and knew exactly how to assist. They guided me every step of the way, allowing me to return to my lifestyle while managing countless medical treatments. While Daniel and Christine are heaven-sent, I have to shout out Sean because he is the best paralegal there is. He's a mix between Rachel and Mike from "Suits" on Netflix in terms of getting the job done. He's also extremely witty and knowledgeable. I will truly miss our conversations and updates on my cases. It was evident how much Sean and the team thoroughly enjoy helping people. There are other companies I could have trusted, but I wouldn't have it any other way than to remain with The Nesheiwat Law Group for all my needs. Thank you, guys! You will always have a special place in my phone.

Our custody case turned our world upside down. When I found Jess Morgan she made the whole situation easier to handle and process. She always kept me informed and stayed in contact through out the entire process. She is very detail oriented and stayed on top of everything. Not to mention, she listened to me vent and helped me work through it. The one thing she did that will keep her number one to my family was put my daughter's needs first. If there is ever a time I need a lawyer again, Jess will be the first person I turn to. I cannot say enough about all she did for us and will forever be grateful to her, as well as everyone at Digby Family Law, PLC.

Jess is an extremely detail oriented and helpful lawyer. She helped me navigate a very challenging time in my life going through a divorce and child custody agreement. The quality of service was incredible, and Jess did a great job of advising me so I always felt very confident that we were getting the best outcome. I would recommend Jess to absolutely anyone! And I would also definitely recommend Jess to anyone from the LGBTQIA+ community. Going through legal matters in Tennessee can be very difficult for us and Jess was so supportive, and accepting of me, and did a great job navigating legal issues relating to my identity.

I had consolted with another attorney who seemed great during the initial consolt. However, when I was wanting to hire her she would not return my calls or emails for 3 months. This led me Google to search for another attorney. I found Sarah Reist and now I am glad that other attorney never replied to me because I found Sarah. When I met Sarah, she was with another firm. She was very kind, pleasant, informative and professional. She spent a good amount of time with me. She answered all of my questions. I immediately hired her to write a letter to my ex spouse which she did quickly and efficiently. She since then has opened her own law firm with a colleague but I was very happy because she took the time to write me and give me her new contact information. She also called me to check on me and make sure that I received her letter with new contact information. When my ex husband called her about the letter she wrote him, she called me right away the same day to inform me and thanks to her letter, my ex spouse finally reimbursed me for medical expenses after 11 years of not paying at all. Sarah always answers my emails and never forgets about me. I am now in the process of hiring Sarah Reist again to proceed in child support enforcement / filing a petition for contempt. I have absolute faith in her and recommend her to anyone who is looking for a family law attorney. I also want to say Thank you to Sarah for being so nice and kind to me.

I cannot recommend Sarah enough if you are a father wanting your legal rights protected and your children are in the Nashville area. I live in Michigan, my children were in Tennessee in the Nashville area, and I now have full, permanant custody of them in Michigan. It was a lot of work, and very stressful at times, however, if you are wanting an attorney who will work extremely hard for you, if you are wanting an attorney who is not only smart, but capable and devastatingly aggressive in the courtroom in pursuit of your rights and interests, you cannot do better then Sarah. I am 100% convinced that having Sarah as my legal console made the differance in the outcome of my custody battle. Thanks to her efforts, her hours of hard work, and her zealous prosecution of my rights, I now have full custody of my children. I could not be more grateful for the services she's rendered, and could not recommend her any higher. If you are a father wanting to be able to play an active role in your children's lives, and you have to deal with the family court system, call her. You will be glad you did. I and my children sure are.

After having one attorney tell me I really didn't have a case, and another dropping the ball, Sarah picked everything up and got my child custody case moving. She read everything thoroughly, came to mediation with a new parenting plan, and laid everything out with explanations for me and the opposing attorney. I would highly recommend her!

I can not say enough good things about these two wonderful women, Krista and Kamie. They were my rays of sunshine during a very dark time when divorcing my unfaithful partner of 20+ years. Both were so responsive, encouraging and compassionate when I needed it the most. During my mediation, Kamie was tireless and relentless in fighting for me. I thought of her as my very own Pitbull Warrior Angel. We were able to settle favorably but had we gone to court, I wouldn't have wanted anyone else on my side in the fight. Krista was always available to help me with any questions and paperwork, looking out for my best interest at every single step in this difficult process. They were both extremely efficient and professional but still treated me with complete compassion and concern. I really don't know what I would have done without them.

Kamie represented me during one of the most challenging times in my life, and she and Krista truly made the divorce process significantly more manageable. Kamie was extremely strategic and practical with her approach. She defends her clients with great passion and many years of experience, which proved valuable beyond measure when having to counter my narcissistic ex wife. Kamie truly cares about her clients and wants only the best for them and their families. She doesn’t require her clients to come into her office unnecessarily and she charges a very fair rate for how knowledgeable and experienced she is with the Franklin legal arena and divorce law in general. She is very pragmatic and gives sage counsel to ensure the best possible outcome for her clients. I would highly recommend Kamie and her services for anyone going through the difficulty of divorce or in need of legal guidance.

There are very few attorneys that have such a wonderful reputation, both with their clients & colleagues, as Kamie does. She is very thorough and knowledgeable. Her attention to detail, expert negotiation skills, & kind heart makes her an excellent attorney. I highly admire & recommend Kamie to anyone looking for an experienced & respected family law attorney.

Alyssa was a great selection for my unique case. My case involved a divorce with a military connection as well as the dissolution of a 30 year marriage while also dealing with a disabled spouse. All these conditions created a delicate situation to handle and Alyssa did so with expert ability while also explaining the process and legal requirements all along the way. I was able to receive my desired result while also being fair and honest with my former spouse. Both of us were satisfied with the final outcome of the non-contested case. The already difficult process was made much less stressful by the professionalism of Alyssa and the Cole law group associates and experts who assisted her. Their fees were reasonable for the work they completed and I would recommend the CLG firm and especially Alyssa to anyone facing the difficult and unfortunate situation of divorce in Tennessee.

I hired Mr. Jackson to represent me during my divorce that was already underway and had taken a very very bad turn. He was able to pick up my case midstream and overcome so many obstacles on my behalf. Looking back I am sure I was a most difficult client. I had no idea what a stellar attorney I had at the time. I will say this. I have been to court with Mr. Jackson and I have been to court without Mr. Jackson. You don't want to go without him and I can only imagine you don't want to go against him. Hire him. You will be in great hands. He is a stellar attorney and person.

During the adoption of our second child, our attorney asked if we'd work with Michelle in his practice. We were open to it, but as anyone would imagine, scared that the level of expertise may lack in comparison to our attorney. Michelle blew us away. If you expect meticulousness, Michelle is the attorney. If you expect communications, she's the go-to. If you expect knowledge, yep, that's her, too. As someone who works in systems and "closing deals," I understand the value of not missing a detail. Michelle runs circles around me in this area. She and her crew at Papa and Roberts will always have our adoption business, hands down.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Kelli on a business dispute that, at times, felt much more emotional than professional to me. From the beginning, Kelli demonstrated not only her legal expertise but also an incredible ability to navigate the emotionally charged aspects of the case. Her professionalism, compassion, and strategic thinking helped guide me through what was an extremely draining process. Kelli was always available when I needed her, keeping me informed and offering clear guidance at every step. She fought for my interests with skill and determination, ensuring the best possible outcome. I truly felt like I had someone in my corner who genuinely cared about both the case and my well-being. If you need an attorney who will not only provide excellent legal representation but also be a steady and supportive ally in tough times, I highly recommend Kelli. She’s everything you want in a lawyer—strong, knowledgeable, and compassionate.

She is not here to work for you or for your interests. Be warned. She is weak in court and will more than likely over bill you. Cowards to more experienced lawyers and her interests in maintaining relationships with sed lawyers will take precedence over your well being in family court. If the opposing attorney is in her circle you most likely will be played. I was encouraged to dig up dirt and fight with my ex, I was encouraged to hire an PI through her firm to find infidelity in a no fault state. None of this matters yet as my attorney she highly encouraged it to run up a bill. She is not to be trusted. You’ve been warned. All these 5 star reviews are most likely fake.

Bethany was incredible to work with for my pre-nuptial agreement. She did not draft the original document but worked with me to inform me of the contents and revise to my liking. She provided recommendations based on 12 years of experience and listened to my concerns and did a great job addressing them. She was very fast to respond to emails and anything requiring a turnaround. She made a last minute urgent change based on a late request. Overall just a pleasure to work with and would use her again.

I was dealing with the struggle of getting one of my son's placed in my custody. Bethany gave me a free consultation and afterwards when I put her on retainer she dove into my case. The case was long and drawn out because of the other party. After a year of long court days, I won custody of my son. I could have never have won the case without Bethany and her expertise. Our family will be eternally grateful to her for all of her work.

Out of the blue, he sent me a surprise bill that was more than double the agreed amount for a simple legal matter. When confronted, he admitted that he did not communicate this change, yet still tried to collect on the overcharge. Poor communication and unapologetic. Felt like he was trying to take advantage of me.

Jim Widrig represented me during my divorce and what I most appreciated about him was guidance through a difficult time. Divorce can be very stressful and in my case, it was fast and hard. During some of the most challenging points of my litigation, Jim reminded me that this is a long game. When you are involved in a divorce with children it can be emotion-filled. His experience and understanding what was most important to me (children/custody) allowed him to provide the best advice. He was absolutely right about the most likely outcome and provided me all of my options. The divorce might not have gone the way I thought in the beginning but at the end of it all, I was really pleased with the outcome.

Very thorough, knowledgable of the law and procedures, very straight forward. Mr Widrig brings respect to law practice. He has always been responsive to phone calls and emails. We have not felt that he has over charged for the services he has performed for us. Definitely recommended!!!

This lawyer tried to take me to jail because I would not sign an unfair settlement. My own lawyer said I would go to jail. I said ok. I had to give $3,000 to this lawyer so I would not go to jail. I only WONDER what would have happened if I had not had my tax returns. He would ask a judge to send me to jail. He took the judges decision first and said I would go to jail. This is trickery. It caused the divorce to stretch out for another whole year. He wanted to do a lot of mean things and he did. The judge said I did not have to pay my husband's legal fees but yet he was able to garnish money from my bank account. Money that I needed to support myself. He did not care he wanted all the money he could squeeze out of me. Why not one of his more afluent clients. Does he have afluent clients? He is financialy driven and iif you cannot pay he is going to deny representation to clients if they lose the ability to pay when they need him most.

I met Jay at the Second Saturday Divorce Workshop. As I consulted with him on the phone, I got the impression that he was not hearing me in regards to our decisions and priorities. My husband and I are very non-contentious, have decided and agreed upon nearly everything, and anticipate a fairly drama-free divorce. I explained this to Jay, but he disregarded or argued with our choices, and seemed to foster drama where there was none. He didn't clearly answer many of the questions that I asked, and when I told him I thought I would have to postpone our first meeting in order to talk about some things with my husband his immediate response was "well I need to get paid!". I did not end up meeting with him or signing a contract.

What a Family Law Lawyer Can Do for You

A family law lawyer provides legal services related to family relationships, including marriage, divorce, child custody, and adoption. Family lawyers help clients navigate emotionally charged legal issues, providing guidance and representation in disputes that affect spouses, children, and parents. Whether you're going through a divorce, seeking custody of your children, or drafting a prenuptial agreement, a family law lawyer ensures your rights are protected and your interests are represented.

Family law attorneys often handle sensitive matters and offer objective legal advice, helping clients reach fair outcomes either through negotiation, mediation, or litigation.

When Should I Hire a Family Law Lawyer?

Hiring a family law lawyer is beneficial in several situations, especially when legal matters involve close personal relationships. Common reasons to hire a family law lawyer include:

  • Divorce or separation: When ending a marriage, a lawyer can help you navigate issues such as division of assets, spousal support, and child custody arrangements.
  • Child custody and visitation disputes: If you and your co-parent can't agree on custody or visitation, a lawyer can represent your interests and work toward a solution that benefits your children.
  • Child support: Whether you’re seeking child support or defending against a claim, a lawyer can help ensure the appropriate amount is calculated and enforced.
  • Prenuptial or postnuptial agreements: A lawyer can help draft or review agreements that protect your assets in case of divorce.
  • Adoption: Family law lawyers guide you through the legal process of adoption, ensuring that all requirements are met.
  • Domestic violence or restraining orders: If you're a victim of domestic violence or being falsely accused, a lawyer can help you obtain or challenge protective orders.
  • Paternity cases: If there are questions about the paternity of a child, a lawyer can help establish or dispute legal fatherhood.

Hiring a lawyer early can prevent issues from escalating, and they can offer you the best chance of achieving a favorable outcome in emotionally charged situations.

What Does a Family Law Lawyer Do?

A family law lawyer provides a wide range of services depending on your specific legal needs. Their responsibilities may include:

  • Advising on legal rights and options: Helping you understand your legal rights regarding divorce, child custody, support, and other family law issues.
  • Filing legal documents: Drafting and filing petitions, motions, and agreements with the court, such as divorce papers, custody agreements, or support orders.
  • Representing clients in court: Arguing your case in front of a judge if a settlement can’t be reached through negotiation or mediation.
  • Mediation and negotiation: Assisting with alternative dispute resolution methods, such as mediation, to reach agreements on issues like custody, property division, and support without going to trial.
  • Enforcing court orders: Helping you enforce court orders related to child support, alimony, or custody if the other party fails to comply.
  • Drafting prenuptial or postnuptial agreements: Creating agreements that protect your assets in the event of a divorce.
  • Handling adoption proceedings: Ensuring that the legal process of adoption is followed, from filing paperwork to finalizing the adoption in court.

How Are Family Law Lawyers Paid?

Family law lawyers typically charge clients in one of several ways, depending on the complexity of the case and the lawyer’s experience. Common payment arrangements include:

  • Hourly rates: Most family lawyers charge by the hour, with rates varying based on experience and location. Clients are billed for the time spent working on their case, including consultations, court appearances, and document preparation.
  • Flat fees: For more straightforward legal services, such as drafting a prenuptial agreement or handling an uncontested divorce, some lawyers offer flat-fee arrangements.
  • Retainer fees: In cases that are expected to require significant time and attention, such as contentious custody battles, a lawyer may charge a retainer, which is an upfront payment that covers the initial costs of legal services. The lawyer then bills against the retainer as they work on your case.

The exact cost will depend on the complexity of your case and the lawyer’s fee structure, which should be discussed upfront.

How Much Does a Family Law Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a family law lawyer varies based on factors such as the lawyer's experience, the location, and the complexity of your case. Here are some general cost guidelines:

  • Hourly rates: Family law lawyers typically charge between $150 and $500 per hour, depending on their experience and the complexity of the case.
  • Flat fees: For simpler cases, such as drafting a prenuptial agreement or handling an uncontested divorce, fees may range from $1,000 to $5,000.
  • Retainers: For more complex matters, such as contested divorces or custody battles, lawyers may charge a retainer ranging from $2,500 to $10,000 or more. The lawyer will bill against the retainer for the work they do on your case.
  • Additional costs: You may also be responsible for additional costs, such as filing fees, mediation fees, or expert witness fees.

Always ask for a clear breakdown of the lawyer’s fees and any additional expenses during your consultation.

Top Questions to Ask a Family Law Lawyer

Before hiring a family law lawyer, it's important to ask questions to ensure they're the right fit for your case. Here are key questions to ask during your consultation:

  1. What experience do you have with family law cases like mine?
    Make sure the lawyer has experience handling cases similar to yours, whether it's a contested divorce, child custody dispute, or adoption.
  2. How will you charge for your services?
    Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, a flat fee, or requires a retainer. Ask for an estimate of the total costs involved.
  3. What are the possible outcomes of my case?
    An experienced lawyer should be able to give you a general idea of what to expect based on the facts of your case.
  4. What is your approach to resolving disputes?
    Ask whether the lawyer tends to favor negotiation and mediation or whether they prefer to take cases to court. This can help you determine if their style matches your goals.
  5. How long do you expect my case to take?
    While it’s difficult to predict, the lawyer should give you an estimate based on similar cases.
  6. Who will be handling my case?
    In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may do much of the work, so make sure you understand who will be your main point of contact.

How to Check the Credibility of a Family Law Lawyer

To ensure you're hiring a reputable family law lawyer, follow these steps to verify their credentials and reputation:

  • Check state bar association records: Verify that the lawyer is licensed to practice in your state and is in good standing with no disciplinary actions.
  • Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for reviews on websites like Avvo, Google, or Martindale-Hubbell. Previous clients can give you insight into the lawyer’s professionalism and success in family law cases.
  • Request references: Ask the lawyer for references from past clients who can speak to their experience with the lawyer.
  • Review their website or professional profile: Look at the lawyer’s background, case history, and areas of focus to ensure they have substantial experience in family law.
  • Look for professional memberships: Membership in reputable organizations, such as the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML), can indicate a lawyer's expertise and dedication to family law.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To get the most out of your first consultation with a family law lawyer, it’s important to come prepared. Here’s what you should bring:

  • Relevant documents: Bring any documents related to your case, such as marriage certificates, prenuptial agreements, financial records, custody agreements, or court orders.
  • List of assets and debts: For divorce cases, prepare a detailed list of all assets (e.g., homes, bank accounts, retirement funds) and debts (e.g., mortgages, loans, credit card balances).
  • Details of the family issue: Provide a written summary of the situation, including key dates and facts related to your divorce, custody dispute, or support issue.
  • Questions for the lawyer: Write down any questions you have about the legal process, costs, and potential outcomes.
  • Your goals: Be prepared to discuss your objectives, such as custody arrangements, property division, or spousal support, so the lawyer understands your priorities.

Being organized and clear about your situation will help the lawyer evaluate your case more effectively and offer the best advice for moving forward.
