Ms. Knight was very professional from the time we met until the resolution of my family law issues. She was very thorough and communicated with me throughout the process. I felt confident stepping into the courtroom with Ms. Knight as my advocate. My confidence was validated after she helped bring my issue to a successful resolution.

I have used Tracy Knight as my attorney on two completely unrelated occasions: once for my estate planning, and secondly when I found myself being criticized for my job performance after being sexually assaulted in my workplace. She was fine for my estate planning; I knew what I wanted and she drew up the necessary paperwork for my will and advanced directive. Where she really excelled, however, was at employment law. She warned me ahead of time that if my employer began to focus on my job performance and then fired me, she could no longer be of assistance. Her predictions were, unfortunately absolutely on the money. My employer began to criticize my job performance and then fired me based upon my performance review. Despite 12 years of successful work, I was forced to retire because I was no longer employed. A lesser attorney would have taken my case (and my money), lost the case, and I would have been much worse off than I am. I am grateful for her integrity, honesty, and knowledge of employment law. She receives my highest recommendation."

Pros
1
Highly knowledgeable and capable attorney who can handle complex and novel legal issues
“My situation was unique and required a lot of strategizing to protect my children. Tracy crafted a strategy that accommodated my needs while protecting me from an uncooperative and hostile ex with somewhat of a high profile due to his occupation and unique situation.”
2
Compassionate and dedicated to clients' needs
“Tracy treated me like family- I don't think I ever went longer than an hour before she responded to emails, etc. She is passionate and dedicated.”
3
Effective advocate who helps clients feel confident in court
“I felt confident stepping into the courtroom with Ms. Knight as my advocate. My confidence was validated after she helped bring my issue to a successful resolution.”
4
Excellent communication and responsiveness
“She communicated everything to me on a consistent basis. My divorce was also handled in a timely manner and all issues were taken care of immediately.”
Cons
1
Unwilling to fully advocate for client in certain cases
“She could have gotten all my charges dismissed or at least dropped to misdemeanors but she wouldn't even take the time to try thanks to her plain and simple laziness.”
2
Potential lack of effort and dedication in some situations
“she sat quiet and did nothing horrible work it saddens me that I lost my job but most of all time with my family all because a person who's oath is to help people didn't take the time to do just that and fight for me when I needed.”

Where do I begin! Taylor Dahl is an absolute rockstar and a wonderful human being. She came highly recommended two years ago and I am thankful she took time from her busy schedule to fit me in. I have used her services for child custody, emancipation, adoption, and divorce and have been extremely satisfied every single time. She has fought for my daughters as if they were her own and has won every case with ease. Don’t let her calm demeanor fool you, she is a shark in court and always has her client’s best interest in mind.

While facing an extremely prejudicial command bias while on Active Duty, Taylor was not only an immense help with an extremely uncooperative local civilian investigation, but with also correcting an error with my military discharge paperwork. In both instances, Taylor's commitment to my sense of justice, my future and correcting an error (per Army Regulations, AR 635-8 and AR 601-210) have done everything towards, what I believe standing up for a Lower Enlisted Soldier. If facing either civilian or military investigation, criminal charges or divorce, Taylor Dahl would be the first person I'd call in Clarksville.

I was facing a serious charge and was fortunate enough to have Jake Fendley represent me like a brother. He is a phenomenal criminal defense attorney and helped me beat my case through all the odds. In my most honest opinion, when it comes to criminal law, Jake Fendley is the best thing Clarksville has i do mean that seriously and respectfully.

What Questions Should I Ask Before Hiring a Lawyer?

Hiring the right lawyer is crucial for the success of your case. Here are some important questions to ask during your initial consultation:

  1. What experience do you have with cases similar to mine?
    Ensure the lawyer has relevant experience in the specific area of law pertaining to your case.
  2. How do you charge for your services, and what are the estimated costs?
    Understand the fee structure, including hourly rates, flat fees, retainer fees, and any additional expenses.
  3. Who will be handling my case?
    Find out if the lawyer will handle your case personally or delegate tasks to other attorneys or paralegals.
  4. What is your approach to resolving cases like mine?
    Learn about their strategy, whether they prefer negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
  5. What potential outcomes can I expect?
    While no lawyer can guarantee results, they can provide an assessment of possible scenarios based on their experience.
  6. How will you communicate with me throughout the process?
    Establish expectations for updates, preferred communication methods, and response times.
  7. What is the expected timeline for my case?
    Get an estimate of how long the process may take from start to finish.
  8. Do you have references from past clients?
    Testimonials or references can provide insight into the lawyer's professionalism and effectiveness.
  9. What challenges do you foresee in my case?
    Understanding potential obstacles helps you prepare and sets realistic expectations.
  10. Are there alternative ways to resolve my legal issue?
    Discuss options like mediation, arbitration, or settlement to resolve the issue efficiently.

Can a Lawyer Represent Me in Courts Outside of Clarksville, Tennessee?

Whether a lawyer can represent you in courts outside of your city or state depends on their licensure and the jurisdiction of the court:

  • Within the Same State:
    Lawyers licensed in a particular state can typically practice anywhere within that state, including all cities and counties. They can represent you in both state and federal courts located in that state.
  • Outside of Their Licensed State:
    If your case is in a different state, the lawyer must be licensed in that state to represent you. However, there are exceptions:
    • Pro Hac Vice Admission: An out-of-state lawyer can request special permission to represent a client in a specific case in another state. This requires filing a motion with the court and often working in conjunction with a local attorney.
    • Federal Courts: If your case is in federal court, a lawyer licensed in any state may be able to represent you, provided they are admitted to practice in that particular federal court.
  • International Representation:
    For cases outside the United States, different rules apply, and the lawyer may need to comply with the foreign country's legal requirements or collaborate with local counsel.

It's important to discuss your specific situation with the lawyer to determine if they can represent you in the desired jurisdiction and what steps may be necessary to do so.

How to Check the Credibility of a Lawyer

Before hiring a lawyer, it's crucial to verify their credibility and ensure they're qualified to handle your case:

  • Verify Their License:
    Check with your state's bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing. Most state bar websites have an online directory for this purpose.
  • Experience and Specialization:
    Ensure the lawyer specializes in the area of law relevant to your case. Review their website, professional profiles, and case history.
  • Disciplinary Record:
    Look up any history of disciplinary actions or complaints through the state bar association's records.
  • Client Reviews and Testimonials:
    Read reviews on legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, Google, or Yelp to gauge client satisfaction and experiences.
  • Professional Memberships:
    Membership in professional organizations or specialty bar associations can indicate a commitment to their field and adherence to high ethical standards.
  • Awards and Recognitions:
    Honors from reputable organizations reflect expertise and a positive reputation in the legal community.
  • Consultation Assessment:
    Use the initial consultation to evaluate their communication skills, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns.
  • Ask for References:
    A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients who can speak to their abilities and professionalism.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your initial meeting with a lawyer, come prepared with:

  • Relevant Documents:
    Bring all documents related to your case, such as:
    • Contracts or agreements
    • Correspondence (emails, letters, texts)
    • Legal notices or court papers
    • Financial records (if applicable)
    • Evidence (photos, videos, receipts)
  • Written Summary:
    Prepare a concise written summary of your situation, including key dates, events, and parties involved. This helps the lawyer quickly understand the context.
  • List of Questions:
    Write down any questions you have about your case, the legal process, fees, or the lawyer's experience.
  • Financial Information:
    If your case involves financial matters, bring relevant documents like pay stubs, tax returns, bank statements, or invoices.
  • Contact Information:
    Provide details of any witnesses or other parties relevant to your case, including their names and contact information.
  • Personal Identification:
    Bring a valid photo ID for verification purposes.
  • Pen and Notebook:
    Take notes during the consultation to remember important points discussed.
  • Budget Constraints:
    Be ready to discuss your budget and any financial limitations so the lawyer can provide appropriate guidance on fees and payment options.
  • Openness and Honesty:
    Be prepared to discuss your case candidly. Full disclosure allows the lawyer to give accurate advice and anticipate potential challenges.
