I started with Lindsey Ralston the 1st time I went to her for custody assistance with my daughter and she was amazing. I needed her a second time and got to work with Brittany Holland this time, she was also amazing! If you need a family attorney, these are the ones you want on your side! Thank you Ralston Firm!

I just think the world of Lindsey & her talent.
She wasn't cheap but ended up saving me much more than the cost by getting my child support payments for both of my sons, zeroed out and justifiably so!

I cannot recommend Kelli Haas & Associates highly enough! From our first meeting, I felt reassured by their expertise and genuine care for my case. Kelli was incredibly thorough, always kept me informed, and fought tirelessly on my behalf. Kelli went above and beyond to ensure the best possible outcome, and I’m so grateful for her support. If you’re looking for a dedicated and knowledgeable attorney, look no further!

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.

I highly recommend her.

Trey Adams exceeded all expectations during my rather complicated custody battle. I was extremely confident in his guidance & knowledge throughout the entire process. In my unique situation, I had to retain a different attorney in another state simultaneously. Trey’s work ethic completely blew my other attorney out of the water. This comparison led me to realize how incredible he is at his profession. Specifically his prompt communication skills, keen attention to detail, aggressive yet calculated take on my case, & most importantly his honesty. I would 100% recommend him to anyone going through a custody battle, regardless of how challenging or complicated it is. He genuinely cares & you will not feel like another number. When you’re essentially putting your life in someone’s hands, it is so important to know this. His paralegal was also amazing to work with & the entire staff at the firm was very welcoming. Thanks so much!

Let me say first and foremost that this evaluation is based upon my interactions during and immediately after a consultation. That said, to be specific I had a consultation with staff attorney, Johnathan Miley where we discussed my matter, as well as the sense of urgency because time was of the essence.
He advised me that he would review my file and get back to me in two days with his charges for a retainer to handle my case. Two days came and went plus a weekend and so I followed up and asked for him to contact me ASAP as he indicated and convey the information discussed.
The end of business has come and has passed and he, nor anyone from his firm have responded to simply convey information he said he would provide a couple of days ago. For that reason solely I have assigned the rating I assigned.

I needed help with getting primary
custody of my daughter. I met with Nick Lancaster and immediately retained him. His knowledge of law and his attentiveness are unmatched. He genuinely cares about his clients and he showed it by how hard he fought for me and my daughter. Thanks to him I now have primary custody and my daughter is safe and happy! Nick made a very stressful situation much easier to navigate and was very personable and professional.

I had a unique case in that my divorce filing was was over eight years old, along with the added compounding difficulty of working overseas as a military contractor. The distance, time away, and time zone differences were definitely challenging. I felt that I received excellent counsel from Martin from what to expect and what would be involved. Martin and his entire staff provided timely updates and rapidly responded to my enquiries and questions. On the day of mediation I felt well-prepared, well represented and was very satisfied with the eventual outcome.
Law services are never inexpensive, but cost is only one measure of value, especially when considering the possible long-term monetary ramifications of a divorce. In that sense, I feel I received excellent value for the cost. This is THE primary focus of his practice, and Martin knows the players involved and the court system around the Nashville area. I would not hesitate to recommend Martin to anyone I know should they find themselves in a similar situation. Thank you to everyone at Marin Sir and Associates for a job well done!

When deciding to advertise that I had a small house ready for renters, many friends advised me to have a legal arrangement. They told me horror stories of how their renters destroyed their property and how renters collected damages when various unforeseen events damaged their property. I heard that it was hard to evict a renter if a legal agreement was not made. Jake was a life saver. I had no idea where to begin. He covered all the basics and things I would never have thought about but could become a big problem if Jake had not included the possibilities. My friends wished they had made a legal agreement when deciding to have renters on their property. Jake was knowledgeable and had my best interest his top priority. I will no doubt be contacting Jake next time I have legal implications.

My elderly father and I met with Mr. Crouse to discuss asset protection. We found out early in our consultation that Mr. Crouse would not be able to help us going forward, because my father lives out of state, and he would need an attorney from his state to draw up the trust.
However, Mr. Crouse still spent over an hour with us, educating us about our options. He explained everything in a way that we could comprehend. He answered all of our questions and really made sure we understood. He could have easily sent us home, but didn’t!
I highly recommend Mr. Crouse. He’s extremely knowledgeable and you can absolutely tell he is passionate about his calling.

My mother-in- law was hospitalized suddenly with a very serious illness. She could not mentally function and serious decisions needed to be made. We did not have a lawyer. We contacted Lawyer Hooper. He drew up the papers and brought them 30 miles to the hospital to be signed.
He was a big help and it allowed us time to make critical decisions. Thanks Lawyer Hooper.

I met Sheree during one of the most difficult times in my life. She was exactly what I needed and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Her communication was top-notch-- she and her paralegal Kim are highly responsive and absolutely make you feel heard and like they are part of your team. Sheree exudes professionalism-- throughout our interactions, it was evident that she is well-respected by both her peers and the judges we encountered, a testament to her competence and professionalism, spanning civil court, juvenile court, and circuit court.
Sheree not only offered much-needed guidance and advice but also consistently presented me with options, ensuring I was well-informed and comfortable with the decisions made. During a challenging time, she was a pillar of support, and I am grateful for her dedication. I plan to keep Sheree as my attorney for as long as she'll have me, and I wholeheartedly endorse her services to anyone seeking legal representation.

I’d like to know where my 1-star review goes every year because, somehow, it has mysteriously disappeared every year since 2018. Much like the integrity and accountability I expected from Mike Parham. If you’re considering hiring him, be prepared for a masterclass in disappointment. Not only did he mishandle my family’s case but the lack of communication and transparency throughout was staggering.
Every time I leave an honest review to warn others, it vanishes — quite the coincidence, don’t you think? If only he worked as hard on his cases as he does on his online reputation. Save yourself the frustration and look elsewhere. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD

I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the exceptional support that L. R. DeMarco provided to my mother and me during our legal cases. From the very beginning, L. R. showed such professionalism and expertise that instantly put our minds at ease. First of all, I want to highlight his compassion and empathy. He listened to all our concerns and explained, in detail, the complicated legal matters. His politeness and courtesy during the entire process made us feel appreciated and taken care of. L. R. DeMarco was not only punctual with answers and follow-ups but had a keen interest in the best possible outcomes for our cases. That is really commendable on his part with regard to this commitment. I highly and fully recommend L. R. DeMarco to anyone in need of legal advice or assistance. When further legal advice is necessary, I definitely know where to seek it. Thanks, L. R., for all your help!

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.

Theresa Childress lied to me and promised to do things that she never did. Once she realized that she was losing she quit my case without a valid reason and left me without representation 10 days before mediation. She recorded our conversation without my knowledge and refuses to give me a copy of it until I threatened to report her to the Board of Professional Responsibilities - which I am still going to do. She charged me a lot of money (nearly $10k) and I’m still not divorced yet! She bragged about how much smarter she was than opposing counsel and how she often had won against her previously in cases. I didn’t see her to be very smart at all! She was late to hearings, unprepared and was advised that her motions had to be rewritten due to errors. She claimed she couldn’t get a favorable judgment in court because the judge didn’t like me!!!!! She did absolutely nothing to help me.

I had the pleasure of working with Richard during my divorce, and I am very grateful for his guidance throughout the process. Although we had no children, the situation became more complex than anticipated, but Richard handled everything with professionalism and expertise.
From our first meeting, Richard made me feel at ease. He took the time to understand my concerns and goals, providing clear advice that helped me navigate the challenges we faced. What truly stood out was his genuine care; he frequently checked in on me to see how I was doing, which made a significant difference during such a stressful time.
His knowledge of family law was evident, and I appreciated how he kept me informed every step of the way. Despite the difficulties, Richard's dedication ensured that we reached a resolution I was satisfied with. I highly recommend Richard to anyone seeking a compassionate and skilled attorney.

What a Family Law Lawyer Can Do for You

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.

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.

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.

- 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.
