Over $6k in retainer for this guy to sit on his hands for 4 years. If you are a family in need of their help, find representation elsewhere. Luckily for me, I'm blessed, and have found representation that I can afford to go after this firm for negligence. Stay tuned as this will all be public record.There is zero slander here as everything has been documented for the past 4 years and I am more then willing to go public.

My experience with Bill Pemerton, a family law attorney in Hamilton County, Tennessee, has been profoundly disappointing and distressing. As I navigate through the complexities of family law, the importance of reliable, empathetic legal representation cannot be overstated. This review aims to provide an honest and detailed account of the service I received, or rather, the lack thereof, from Mr. Pemerton, with the hope of informing others and advocating for accountability in legal practice. The journey with Mr. Pemerton's services began with a semblance of professionalism, but it rapidly deteriorated into a scenario marred by negligence and unprofessionalism. A glaring example of this was his audacious misrepresentation of a court date. This misinformation led me to undertake a needless five-hour journey, only to realize that no motion had been filed for my case. Such a grave error not only wasted my time and resources but also amplified the emotional strain I was already enduring. In addition, Mr. Pemerton's approach to my case was marked by a conspicuous lack of accountability. His condescending attitude and attempts to cast doubt on the rationality of my claims were both unprofessional and unbecoming of a lawyer entrusted with such sensitive matters. This lack of empathy was particularly distressing given the gravity of family law cases, where the well-being of children is often at stake. Furthermore, my requests for the transfer of my case documents to my new attorney, were met with what can only be described as a dismissive and nonchalant attitude. This disregard not only reflected a lack of professional courtesy but also a blatant disrespect for my rights and needs as a client. In light of these experiences, I find it necessary to explicitly state that I cannot recommend Bill Pemerton for any matters related to family law in Hamilton County, TN. The cumulative effect of his actions - misinformation, negligence, and a general lack of professionalism - has not only caused me undue stress and inconvenience but has also impeded my pursuit of justice and fairness in a deeply personal and significant legal matter. I hope this review serves as a cautionary tale for others seeking legal representation in family law. It underscores the importance of thorough research and due diligence when selecting an attorney, especially in cases as delicate and impactful as those involving family matters. My experience is a stark reminder of the profound impact a lawyer can have on their clients' lives and the paramount importance of integrity, empathy, and professionalism in the legal profession.

My ex wife filed a frivolous dependency and neglect against me in which Bill was my attorney. Bill didn't leave a stone unturned in my case. We ended up winning the case!

Billy kept me informed of the details and worked on my behalf to resolve my case through mediation.

Bill was able to take my case and begin working while I was stationed in South Korea!

He’s truly changed my life I recommend Pemerton to anyone who wants a powerful and compassionate attorney who is true to their word. Pemerton has done for my baby and I what I didn’t think was possible. When I was searching for an attorney ,last minute and the court date was approaching in a few days, I was lucky enough to have found him and he fit me in that Saturday to consult. He took on my custody case at a time when I thought there was no hope, and turned it around. He’s gone above and beyond for my case. Pemerton has extensive experience that is matched with a natural ability to ease the greatest of worries, such as those that come with custody cases. Communication is fantastic! I’ve been kept informed about my options and the process at all times. I know with him on my side the future of my child is secure and that is worth more than anything.

Mr. Pemerton is this first and only attorney I have used that is extremely intelligent, honest, and truly caring attorney. He was the second attorney I had to hire during my divorce and custody battle, since the first one I hired was not getting results or providing proper counsel. Mr. Pemerton is an amazing "Bull Dog" of the law. He won my custody battle which was a monumental win, allowing me to move out-of-state with my son. I highly recommend him to all finding themselves in a divorce and custody situation.
