Tommy is great to work with! He came along side our family and provided a great outcome quickly and with confidence! I appreciate his down to earth manner explaining each step we walked through them. His experience was worth his costs which during my research I found to be very fair.

I had a very complicated divorce case in Bedford County. Stan Bennett was my main attorney, but I also worked with Dinah Michael and Brad Hornsby. Allyson Hornsby did a phenomenal job as my paralegal too. Stan really believed in my case and is very well respected in Bedford County. The number of times I was told by the judge, mediator, etc that “they’ve never seen anything like this” is a good testament to how complicated my case was. Stan and his team fought with everything they had during each trial, appeal and challenge. They used their vast legal knowledge and were willing to do the research for all of the unusual things that came up. Stan, Dinah and Brad did a fantastic job in court and were often complimented by the judge on how well they tried the case. I can’t thank the whole team enough for everything they’ve done and how it turned out. If you are looking for an attorney that believes in you and is willing to fight the fight, I highly recommend them.

I would highly recommend Thomas Bray to anyone looking for an attorney that not only is going to "work for you" but he cares about his clients. After experiencing the worse surprise of my life being told my husband wanted a divorce, I had a friend recommend Mr. Bray. I am so glad they did. He was tough without being mean and he was caring and kind and quick to respond. It truly felt like he had mine and my boys best interest at heart. I hope I never need an attorney again, but if I do, I know who my attorney is, Thomas H. Bray. Thank you, Mr. Bray for everything!

Nobody wants a lawyer but when you need one I definitely recommend Whitney! When I first came to her I didn’t know what to expect or what to even do. Whitney easily navigated through it all while keeping me well informed. Communication was exceptional. I never felt I was just another case.

Whitney is a very knowledgeable, experienced attorney who is easy to talk to and explains everything you may need to know about your case. She is also very soft-spoken, which is a plus when dealing with the stress involved. I look forward to her handling my case. A friend of mine recommended that I talk to her, and I definitely recommend her to anyone needing help navigating the legal system. I definitely feel less worried about my case. Thanks, Whitney. 😉 😃

I am very fortunate & blessed to have come across Mr. Taylor when looking for an attorney. I almost decided to go with another attorney until I called Mr. Taylor & he invited me in to talk about my situation. After speaking with him in person, it became very clear to me who I wanted to represent me. Mr. Taylor is extremely thorough & does an incredible job of communicating the details of each & every aspect of your case. He genuinely cared about me, my life, & how to best resolve my situation. I am very thankful to have met Mr. Taylor & would recommend his services to anyone who needs an attorney.

Look no further for a lawyer in the Middle Tennessee area. John Taylor is an incredible lawyer (and man) that has a focus on high communication and making sure you understand what is going on. For someone who has never had to deal with anything court related, I was confused and discouraged at first because I did not know where to start. John made sure we knew what was going on and took care of everything for us.
My charges against me were completed dropped and dismissed as they should’ve been from the beginning. John was relentless, yet calm and collected, during his appearances on my behalf. This is exactly what you would want in a lawyer and the full dismissal is a testament to his persistent work. If you have an unjust charge or are looking to get the best case scenario from your mistake, call John Taylor.

Katie Slager is one of the best and only lawyer that I have worked with!! I was recommended by a family member to her and Jon and since the first phone call, I had with Katie she was so understanding to get my issues resolved. She is very kind and worked with me every step of the way, and made the process very easy. She is also very knowledgeable and kept me informed to fully understand what was going on, which I appreciate very much!!! If you are EVER in a legal bind reach out to Slager Law Firm!!!!

Amy made an unbearable battle bearable. She fought hard for us over and over. She helped my husband get the rights he deserved. She’s amazing and her staff was just as wonderful. She was our attorney for 2.5 years and we wouldn’t have chosen anyone else. So grateful for all the hard work put in by her and her team.

A little over a year ago, I was very lucky to have hired Mrs. Pollina to represent me for my legal case. It was very ugly at the time and She was very honest and upfront about the type of case this was. Very quickly Mrs. Pollina was able to break things down for me and explain the forthcoming process. From the moment that I spoke with her I knew that I hired the right lawyer. Through every step she explained what has going to happen and She takes the time to let her clients know what she is doing and what to expect. I saw how she broke everything down for the Judge to understand. I had full confidence in her skills. I just cant Thank her enough for all of the hard work that she put in to see my case to the end. I will always be Thankful for her service! I would never hesitate in the future if I needed her to hire her again!

Ms. Pollina was very quick to respond to emails and questions. Our case was handled quickly and there were no complications. She makes you feel very at ease and it is very easy to talk to her. She shows you the same respect as you give her. Some attorneys have a “I’m the smartest one in the room” attitude, but not Ms Pollina. She never talks down to you or treats your concerns as insignificant. If we ever need an attorney again, and I hope we don’t, we will call Ms.Pollina. I will definitely recommend her to anyone inquiring about a good attorney.

John Drake went above and beyond for my case! He got the very best deal for me and out of 11 total criminal charges of theft, he got all of them dismissed and expunged from my record! I cannot express enough gratitude and and elation I feel of how hard he worked for me! It was definitely not an easy case and I 100% recommend anyone needing an attorney in criminal defense to consult John!

Mary is great. She is knowledgeable on family law matters, always returns messages/calls in a timely manner, and is definitely the best attorney I have ever had. I've been in and out of court with family law matters for quite some time and she ranks THE BEST. She knows the laws, and does not BS about anything. She did not sugar coat anything or tell me what I want to hear (like many attorneys I have dealt with in the past). She does not give false hope, but she is stern and direct when it comes to practicing law. She is prompt on all paperwork and filing. I am never left wondering what is going on or the status of anything related to my case. She's reasonable and fair on pricing too! I wish I would have found her years ago, I could have saved myself a lot of headaches. Thank you Mary!!!!

Haven't had to hire these gentlemen but was served with a papers from an accident my son was involved in. Wasn't sure what I needed to do since I have never had to deal with anything of this sort before so I called these guys.
Although I only called for a Consultation this gentlemen treated me like I was a paying client. He spent a good 15 minutes on the phone with me telling what I needed to do and went over some of the terminology in the summons with. He had absolutely no obligation to spend as much time on yhe phone me as he did but he did and was absolutely professional about it and I never felt like he was rushing me off.
I hope I never have to hire these Gentlemen but if I should I will absolutely be coming to them. And even though my experience was only a 15 minute call I would have to say that I would 100% recommend them simply due to how he treated me on the phone.

Not sure why Mr. Richardson has so many highly rated reviews?%$#@. The first clue something was wrong was when he rarely contacted his client, and when he did it was via TEXT messages, instead of phone calls! When called he rarely, if ever, made himself available and his assistant never had answers for what Mr. Richardson was doing in regards to the case and wouldn't even send documentation on billing when he dropped client with no prior warning a week and a few days before hearing. This man, and his office staff, took money for a job and did little to nothing, even worse tried up very valuable time in a child custody case for over 6 mos. If he is a man who truly cares about ALL of his clients, then he would have taken 5 mins to explained over the phone why he would no longer represent his client and more importantly, he would have done that 6 MONTHS AGO NOT the week before a hearing! Do your homework before hiring this man, get EVERYTHING in writing, and research perhaps more professional lawyers in your area. Not everyone has deep pockets of $$$ to waste on insensative lawyers, especially single moms:(((

The minute I walked in the room and met Jim, I knew I made the right decision in seeking his counsel with my situation. I drove two hours to talk to him and it was absolutely worth every mile and moment of my time. Jim is kind, down to earth, knowledgeable, professional, and a wonderful attorney. He knew the law and was patient to listen to the details of my situation. I could immediately tell he is very passionate about his work. He was kind enough to stop to ask me how I was personally managing with the situation, which was very compassionate. When I need an attorney, I know who I will call in the future. I highly recommend Jim Judkins and Judkins Law

They were very fast with getting everything done once we started the process. I would 100% recommend! They are affordable. Tons of my family has used Flexer before in the past & they all had great experiences as well which lead me to choosing them.

I highly recommend Mr. Scott Kimberly to anyone in need of exceptional legal representation, especially regarding child custody matters. He has been an invaluable asset in championing my son's custody rights. His adeptness in cross-examination, direct approach, and unwavering work ethic have played a pivotal role in addressing the injustices my son encountered within the legal system.
Mr. Kimberly is not only dedicated to securing favorable outcomes for his clients but also prioritizes ethical practices and “refrains from exploiting them financially.”
His commitment to his clients' welfare extends beyond legal representation; as a father himself, he genuinely advocates for the best interests of the children involved.
If you're in search of a lawyer who will fervently uphold fathers' rights and relentlessly pursue justice, Mr. Kimberly is unquestionably the right choice. I am deeply grateful for his expertise, dedication, and unwavering support throughout this painful and challenging journey for our son, grandchildren and extended family.

I was referred to Scott from a mutual friend that we share. In the time of beginning the process of divorcing it was clear that I need representation and help to ensure I received what was fair to me under the law. When I first met him he made sure to come up, introduce himself and say "We are going to make sure you are taken care of."
Any question I had about documentation, process, language was answered and explained while going through the 5 month process to reach the finish line. If you want the best, look no further.

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:
-
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. -
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. -
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. -
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. -
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. -
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.
