Mr. Burch and Mr. Lockhart represented me in a difficult situation. They both were very attentive to my concerns and quick to return my calls. He staff is very courteous and went that extra mile for me. Highly recommend.

04 May, 2016 by John

Eric Burch's expertise and knowledge of law was amazing. He helped me through a very difficult legal issue. I could not have asked for a better attorney. I was more than impressed with his advise, professionalism, and sincerity. If you or anyone you know are looking for an attorney there is no one that can measure up.

Robin is dedicated to serving all her clients needs. She is honest and doesn’t just tell you what you want to hear for money. She is very ethical, knowledgeable, and a beast in the courtroom. I’d recommend Robin for any lawyer needs.

26 Jul, 2017 by Tim

Ms. Vance was the Best! Always on top of things, very detailed and Great on ALL information! I went thru a Divorce Proceedings and Robin hands down took care of Business! If you want someone who Fights HARD for you, hire this Lady! I went thru 3 Lawyers before I found her! I would would do it again if I had the chance and so should you!

26 Jul, 2017 by Carolyn

Robin Vance assisted on my divorce case and I could not have asked for any better counsel. She was strong and accretive in Court but compassionate and caring during our one on one meetings. She truly cares for her clients and their wellbeing; she is also a powerful and knowledgeable attorney that will fight tooth and nail for each and every client. I found Ms. Vance and her staff to be exceedingly fair and honest in all aspects as well as responsive and supportive throughout the process. She was very conservative with her time while providing exceptional representation. I was always treated fairly and with respect, all communication and case progression was very timely. I, without any doubt or reservation, would highly recommend Attorney Robin Vance. If you want an attorney that gives it her all for every client you can't go wrong by choosing Robin Vance.

As a small business owner many curveballs come your way. I know I can depend on Coble Caperton to help me navigate through issues large and small. He is smart, professional and a nice person. He shows genuine concern for the issues confronting his clients and wholeheartedly uses his professional experience to achieve the best for them. I have hired him numerous times over the past 35 years and would not hesitate to do so again if the need arose.

28 Oct, 2019 by Anne

Coble is a smart, capable attorney. We have sought his advice on various matters over the years and have always benefited from his counsel. He is also a pleasure to deal with.

24 Oct, 2019 by Mike hamby

Coble has proven to me that he is a man of character and integrity. He just didn’t take my divorce case but tried as a friend to make sure I had exhausted all means before finally giving up. Coble thank you for your advise and representation your the best. I would highly recommend Coble and I hope if you are reading this review you at least interview him.

I hired Mr. Yow for a defense and he did an outstanding job. Would highly recommend him to anyone in need of help.

29 Jan, 2016 by Briana

I have worked with Mr. Yow for over 6 years. He has represented me in custodial, child support, and contempt cases. Mr. Yow is efficient, extremely knowledgable, and persistently diligent. I have been successful in each and every case. I feel secure working with Mr. Yow and the entire Goble and Yow staff because they put their clients' needs first and foremost. They come with a vast and successful experience background. I have referred several additional clients to Mr. Yow with the same results. Please trust in Goble and Yow with your legal needs. They are the best choice in Clarksville by far!

02 Apr, 2015 by Bill

Eric Yow of the Goble Law Firm worked like no one else to get me the best result possible. He went way out of his way, even though he represented me for a seriously discounted fee (due to my disability). He made sure that I was taken care of all along the way. His support staff was professional and courteous. He always called me back when I needed him. And he was always on time, responsive, and knowledgeable. I've never seen someone take such pride in their work. I'd hire him again in a second!

Exceptional Attorney. He is very knowledgeable, very professional and very caring. I have used his services many times through the years and I have always been impressed and have great respect for him. I will not hesitate to contact Michael Savage for future legal proceedings.

14 Jul, 2013 by Danny

Mr. Savage was very professional and knowledgable in handling my divorce case. He is very cut and to the point on what can and can't be done. This is my first experiance at dealing with a lawyer or the law for that matter and I would have to say "I will always use Michael Savage for any future knowledge of the law." If I asked him anything he would tell me straight up whether I could do it, get it, or not. He never led me on to believe I could get anything that I more than likely wouldn't. If I could get something I thought of trying to get, he was quick to tell me whether or not it was worth the fight of getting it. I will recommend Michael Savage to everyone.

I contacted Mr. Baxter regarding helping a friend who does not speak English well. Mr. Baxter responded immediately and after reviewing the case referred my friend to an excellent colleague attorney who could do the job for less expense (out of county). This exhibits his kindness and trustworthiness in handling his legal clients. He quickly got back to me to let me know what he did in referring my friend's case. I was very impressed with his honesty.

08 Aug, 2012 by Millicent

Mr. Baxter seemed sincerely interested in seeing that my rights as a citizen of these United States were upheld in court. I very much appreciate that such a person representing those of us who need assistance in obtaining fairness in the legal system.

This is the best lawyer. He will go out of his way and take the time to get to know you and go over things as much as needed. He is very smart, he brings all the law books needed for the case when meeting and mostly he is the best lawyer ever.

08 Dec, 2014 by Drew

He doesn't really call and check in and you can't find his phone number anywhere on google, but he expects you to do what you say and that's prob why he doesn't check in. He cares about your situation and he will fight for you. He's a good man. Best lawyer I've had!

Ericka Baker is the Attorney I was recommended to, She’s a young, professional woman who knows what she’s doing, Great attorney and fight for what is right!!!! She’s listens to you and understands you..I highly recommended Ms.Baker… Mr.Jonathan Cooling doesn’t work there anymore, I don’t think but Jonathan Collins has been the worst Lawyer ever…

07 Aug, 2023 by Eboni anderson

Although I had a rough time when I first filed for my divorce with another attorney. My case was given to Attorney Erica Baker with no explanation of what was wrong with the paper work. But She stepped in and quickly corrected issues that were wrong ; she worked hard to get everything finished. Even though the process took longer , she was committed so I commend her for that. I highly recommend her.

He’s professional, prompt, patient, responded to all of my calls/text messages, and will ALWAYS get you the best verdict in court. This wasn’t the first time I hired him, and he’s literally the best attorney in Memphis, TN.

If you’re looking for someone to be on your side Mrs. Smith is the woman for you. The entire office made me feel so welcomed every time I came in to see her. She had my back the entire way and so did the office. She is also really reasonably as far as outstanding service she offers. She was very understanding, a great listener, very professional, had paperwork to me fast, and the lines of communication was excellent. I can’t even really express how Thankful I am for her and her team. I could go on and on with nothing but positive things to say. If you want someone who puts you first and will get the job done HIGHER her. I promise she won’t disappoint. I appreciate you and everything you have done. It feels good to finally be fully free and have my last name back. I know God made our paths cross and I’m thankful. Endless Blessing

I had the pleasure of working with Amy Bates for my family law case, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From the very beginning, Amy showed incredible professionalism and empathy, making me feel supported throughout the entire process. Her expertise and attention to detail were evident in every aspect of my case. Amy took the time to explain my options and kept me informed at every step, which greatly eased my stress during a challenging time. Thanks to her dedication and skill, the outcome was favorable, and I feel truly grateful for her help. If you need a compassionate and knowledgeable family law attorney, Amy Bates is the best one to choose.

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.

13 Aug, 2024 by Amber tullos

Kelli Haas was wonderful to work with and thoroughly explained things every step of the way. She ensured I understood the pros and cons to my mediation case and provided sound guidance. She is very knowledgeable and focused on providing me with best outcome while minimizing my costs. Kelli is professional and personable and provides a high touch client experience. I highly recommend her.

In a very challenging & stressful situation with my divorce, not knowing who to choose he emailed me at night & called me promptly the next morning. From day one and through the entire process he went to bat for me, knew the law well and always responded promptly and always made me feel at ease. I highly recommend him as an attorney and am truly grateful for his support, kindness & direct approach.

29 Aug, 2024 by Mark blaylock

TERRIBLE...Absolutely do not use!!!! We used for a custody case and he lost miserably. We felt like we were stuck and allowed a lot due to false hope he continued to give as a means to keep sucking in your money. Examples: we paid retainer and never knew what it went towards. Scheduled meetings and he would be 20 min or more late for and during the private meetings we had, he would take other client phone calls and discuss their case on the phone openly with us in the room. This was taking away from our allotted time of which he as always late for. The meetings would have numerous interruptions yet would still be billed for the entire hour. There was a lot of fraudulent billing for work or services not performed. Most all scheduled court hearings, he would show up to court late. Continue to put off the court dates as a means to extract additional billed hours. Charged 8 hours full bill rate for a 15 minutes in court to schedule a new court date(never know a real reason) and then wanted to sit out on the bench outside court room and smoke while talking about motorcycles. Yet, he billed for entire day fraudulently. Yes, you will be billed for his smoke breaks! He smokes a lot. Absolutely do not use this attorney! Almost a year after the case was resolved we received an additional 2800 bill from him. When questioning it was bills for made up items like the additional time spend talking on the park bench about motorcycles while he smoked. The numerous times the called us to get information that they had been provided up front in a 3 ring binder printed off and emailed. yet since they lost it, they charged again for us obtaining it. Numerous items such as this. Never once received a statement or breakdown of anything even though it was asked for several times. I denied the 2800 additional fraudulent charges. Never heard anything for a year and a collections company called. I explained and denied the charges with them and contacted Meeks office again to dispute the charges. Again they agreed to discontinue the charges. 6 months later I was served a week before a scheduled court hearing over the charges. I contacted the courts and asked to reschedule due to preplanned work trip the week of the hearing. I was directed to reschedule with Meeks office since they requested the date and hearing. I contracted them and explained the business trip for my work and had proof of it. They gave new proposed court date and would reschedule it so we could have it heard. They did not do as we agreed and had the case heard while I was on work trip anyway getting a judgement against me due to default. This attorney is crooked and will only steal your money. As far as my case was concerned. He told of all these wonderful things he could make happen in court and when it came down to it. Absolutely, did NOT deliver on anything. Actually cost me all these wasted attorney fees on top of dragging out the case a year longer then he should have. It was a custody case and this Attorney got his Butt handed to him in court. Absolutely terrible attorney and as a business, they are liars and fraudulent in their billing. You must Have a written contract and record ever single occurrence with this legal team. Yes, its a family affair. Choose a different attorney to represent you by all means. You will be money ahead and thankful. This attorney was never prepared and was blind sided ever step of the way as a result. Which will only cost you in the end. He IS going to charge you for all his mistakes and all his breaks. You will pay for his motorcycles and his daughters working for him. Choose wisely- choose someone else. This is my experience with Mr. Meeks and his team. Hope it helps others not fall victim.

I am absolutely thrilled with the exceptional service provided by Clint Coleman at East Tennessee Employment Law! From our very first consultation back in 2022, Clint demonstrated a deep understanding of employment law and made me feel at ease during a challenging situation. His attention to detail, responsiveness, and commitment to my case were truly impressive. For over two years Clint took the time to explain the legal process clearly and answered all my questions promptly. I never felt like just another case; he genuinely cared about my well-being and fought tirelessly for my rights. Thanks to his expertise and dedication, I achieved a positive outcome that exceeded my expectations. If you’re in need of an attorney who is knowledgeable, professional, and compassionate, I wholeheartedly recommend Clint Coleman. He deserves every bit of this five-star rating! Thank you, Clint, for your outstanding support and guidance!

Spoke to the para-legal Kristin (hope i spelled that correctly) today she was easy to talk to and actively listened even tho im stressed and scattered all over the place she helped me focus and understand she gave me hope in a time i was giving up i 100% recommend this law firm. Ty all so much.

08 Mar, 2024 by Brittany kinser

If I could give no stars, I would. Clint was of zero help to me and if my case was going to be something that would give me maybe $1500 in my pocket. I am unsure on why I paid $400 for a consult. I guess that 15 minutes was what their time was worth. A disappointment to say the least. Another attorney was able to better look at this with a much different outcome. Don’t waste your time. I only do honest reviews. BEWARE!!

I worked with Daniel Bryant on child support and custody issues. He was very professional, knowledgeable, reasonable priced and able to help me achieve a satisfactory result. Finding a good attorney can be difficult but after working with a couple, Daniel would be on top! Thanks again for all your help!

21 May, 2024 by Rachel vaughn

Mr. Bryant took $2500 as a retainer and did nothing with my case and would not refund any of my money. As a mother working tirelessly these last few years to reestablish custody, this was a huge blow and set me back financially for zero pay off. I would NOT recommend Mr. Bryant or any of his associates.

06 Dec, 2023 by Tnman

I hired Mr. Bryant for my child custody case a few years back. Unfortunately, it was a long court case due to certain circumstances regarding the other party. With that being said, Mr. Bryant was a very helpful and informative lawyer throughout the entire process and represented us in a professional way with very powerful words in the last court hearing. I would recommend him for any of your family/child cases. Thank you a lot Mr. Bryant!

Stephanie Lowe is an absolute pleasure to work with. She is very assertive and knowledgeable in her work. She worked in a timely manner and was very easy to communicate with for all our needs. She is very personable, honest and works quick to achieve your goals. Without a doubt would use her over anyone else for any and all needs for an attorney. If you need an exceptional lawyer, go see Stephanie Lowe. You will not regret it!

I had the misfortune of hiring Stephanie Lowe for my case, and it was an utter disaster from start to finish. From the very beginning, Stephanie failed to communicate effectively, leaving me in the dark about crucial aspects of my case. There was a complete lack of transparency and clarity, which only added to my stress and frustration. What was even more troubling was Stephanie's apparent fear and intimidation when dealing with the opposing lawyer. It was clear that she was outmatched and overwhelmed, which severely compromised my position. This lack of confidence and assertiveness was unacceptable and detrimental to my case. Despite my repeated and explicit requests, Stephanie showed no willingness to fight for anything I asked for. She consistently backed down and failed to advocate for my interests. It felt as though she was more interested in avoiding conflict than in securing a favorable outcome for me. Overall, Stephanie's performance was appalling and unprofessional. I would strongly advise anyone in need of legal representation to look elsewhere. This experience was a complete waste of time and money, and I regret ever hiring Stephanie Lowe.

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.

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.
