Katie and her team were quick, efficient, and an absolute pleasure to work with on our second-parent adoption paperwork. As an LGBTQ+ family, we deeply appreciated her sensitivity, respect, and understanding of our unique situation. Her extensive knowledge of local judges and legal processes made a significant difference in moving our case forward smoothly. A fun side note: a coworker mentioned that her ex-husband had hired Katie and described her as a ‘bulldog’ in court. She told me I had an excellent attorney—which only reaffirmed our own great experience!

I reached out to Katie with a unique case as a father that was never married and living outside of TN. Katie was excellent to communicate with and highly professional over these last several years and helping me stay organized through what was a very emotional time and a complicated situation. When I needed guidance, documentation, had questions, and needed to verify facts of the law, Katie made sure I understood it in a clear way. I am very thankful for her help and helping build a strong case with my exact circumstances. I highly recommend you use her if you need a TN family attorney.

Katie Zipper is an excellent attorney. She represented me through my divorce case with her wisdom, knowledge, and expertise to achieve the best possible outcome for me and my children, yet also patiently and kindly empowered me to make the right decisions for my family. I highly recommend her and her team!

I highly recommend Katie and Zipper Law. As I was going through the most difficult life chapter I've ever experienced, she helped me understand and navigate the difficult terrain in order to best protect my child and myself. During emotional moments, she listened and politely shared the pros and cons based on what I was requesting along with the legal ramifications, then helped me determine the best plan of action for my case. She has a kind, caring heart, yet will also stand ground and take a firm stance. I will continue to seek Katie's counsel as needed and encourage anyone seeking legal help, particularly as it relates to divorce and properly crafting parenting plans, to consult with Katie. I am forever grateful to Katie and Lesa for their warmth, guidance and professionalism during the tough circumstances that led me to them.

Retaining an attorney is a very difficult process when it involves finding the proper counsel to protect your children, your future financial stability and having peace with the outcome of the legal matters you are working through. Katie Zipper Law was my choice given the legal battle I had before me. Unfortunately, I mistakenly chose this law firm. Particularly in regards to trusting Katie with large deposits meant for trial. Katie was trusted with a $5000 deposit meant for trial. Fortunately, my case did not need to go to trial, therefore the “deposit” meant for trial should have been refunded. Instead of holding the deposit for trial, as it was meant for, she chose to dwindle it was additional daily small amounts until there was almost nothing left. This deposit was on top of the beginning large deposit given to Katie to begin the case. Yes, Katie sent monthly statements of costs, however, these statements had a zero balance and nothing was paid. It one point, she asked that I make a payment of approximately $1800 and I did so. In the end, a small check of $400 was returned to me. Additional thoughts when it comes to the strength of this law firm. Lesa, Katie’s paralegal, was fabulous. She was kind informative and extremely helpful to my family and myself. In regards to Katie., She was very kind but was not able to be aggressive have the strength needed to better settle my case. In many instances, she just asked me what I wanted to do. I am not the attorney, I needed her counsel in order to make the best decisions. In retrospect, due to the lack of her strength and leadership, the best decision was not chosen. Additional, Katie attempted to withdraw from my case on 4 occasions without moving forward due to nervousness of the opposing counsel. Katie Zipper Law does not posses the ability to properly inform you of where your money is going, have strong leadership skills and the true strength to take on your case and work hard for you.

While I’m not an attorney, I suspect that my case was one of Ms. Zipper’s tougher ones. It was difficult for me, and contained quite difficult decisions. The case had nuances that I did not realize, even though it was about me and my family. However, Ms. Zipper’s thoughtfulness and guidance really helped me get what I wanted and needed. Her ideas about final management of my parenting plan were innovative, in my mind. Had I not followed her advice on this particular item, I likely would have suffered in the end. You see, I did not follow her advice on another major decision, and it came back to bite me. She advised me heavily against what I thought was right, but again, in the end, she knew what was best. In summary, I relied heavily on Ms. Zipper’s ideas, thoughts, and advice, and was guided in the right direction EVERY time. I felt like I had a friend calling me when her number popped up on my phone. Same for her assistant Lesa. Lesa was always supportive when we talked. Don’t let the size of the firm fool you; you will get top notch service here.

During a very difficult divorce, Katie and her team provided logical, decisive and steady advice. My divorce was very drama driven and emotional, and her team helped keep me in a clear frame of mind approaching decisions. She is very thorough and I believe has her clients best interest at heart. I appreciated her ability to help me stay calm and focused, and her willingness to explain things and keep us on task.

Katie helped me through a very unique divorce case. I had asked for a reference for someone who would be extremely capable and ensure that high ideals for both parties would apply - Katie was exactly that. Katie helped me understand what I needed to do in every aspect of my journey and I completely listened and followed her advice. That helped me out tremendously. Katie knows the system and the people. She helps get things done in the interest of all parties. I am very grateful to have had her represent me and for my divorce to end amicably and fairly for our situation. I completely recommend her to anyone who wants to ensure a good outcome.
