We retained the Barnes & Fersten law firm for help with an unfortunate situation. Our initial meeting with Oscar and Brandon was extremely insightful as they provided valuable advice, warnings, and a detailed explanation of our legal options. As newcomers to the criminal justice system, their expertise was truly refreshing. Following our consultation, we discovered that no charges had been filed at the courthouse. They even returned our retainer and declined any payment for their services. Despite this, charges eventually did appear. Oscar's strong professional relationships and understanding of the legal system allowed us to navigate through this situation successfully. He kept us informed, gave us guidance, and involved us in the process as necessary. He focused on his area of expertise and referred us to a skilled colleague for custody matters. The office manager, Lauren, was exceptional as well. She established an efficient system for information exchange and ensured that all communication was promptly relayed to Oscar. Thanks to the hard work and dedication of the entire team at Barnes & Fersten, we were able to rectify a difficult situation. We are grateful for their assistance.

I highly recommend their services should you need legal advice and help. Every single question AND suggestion I had was answered and taken into consideration. Answers were always quick and effective! Every single piece of paperwork we received was meticulously looked over and combed for discrepancies. My lawyer found multiple issues with the officer I was involved with and ultimately got all charges dropped excluding one that was significantly reduced and will be removed from my record shortly. It’s because of my lawyers careful examination of my case that I now have a squeaky clean record once again and I’m able to continue to push my life in the good direction I’ve been moving too! I cannot recommend their services enough if you need legal advice and I’m beyond thankful for choosing Barnes and Fersten to fight for me!

I searched online for the best team possible. I found this firm. Believe me when I tell you that they are the best out there. They exceeded my expectations 1000% . I could not be more happy for their service. Oscar is the greatest of all time, the whole firm is. They work together on your case. If you need help, these are the people to call. I love you guys. You made a sad miserable day for me turn into sunshine.

Excellent law firm! To handle your case and, provide good results. I was extremely happy Brandon was able to win my case. Definitely recommend this law firm.The staff is amazing everyone was so helpful in my case!!!!!!

Great communication from Lauren and Brandon. I ended up pleading guilty to my DUI. There's only so much you can do when you get in trouble in Sevierville county... Because I plead guilty, there wasn't a chance to see Brandon argue my case on the stand, but I still appreciate the time they took to prepare for my case and guide me through the legal process. I had tons of questions and they were always willing to help answer them. I was given a full "end of case" report/email detailing what I am supposed to do next. This was very helpful considering how overwhelmed I was with the post-court errands I had to do. I'd highly recommend this practice to anyone needing legal representation involving a DUI charge.

Brandon and his staff are amazing. They really do go above and beyond for their client.

John Barnes is hands down the best lawyer ever. He took great care in handling my case. He was able to get my entire case dismissed. John is also an incredibly kind and all around cool dude. I appreciate the work done by him and his team. Thanks again for your help and the help of your amazing team!

I had an absolutely amazing experience with this remarkable lawyer. Prior to choosing to work with him and his firm, I had conversed with several prominent firms and lawyers in Knoxville, but it was Oscar Butler who stood out among the rest. His confident demeanor and adept handling of the situation convinced me to sign with them, and my decision proved to be spot-on. Oscar was able to effectively navigate the circumstances and achieve the optimal outcome. Without hesitation, I highly specifically recommend Oscar Butler to skillfully handle your case.

Awesome people with great attitudes!!! Everyone is easy to work with!!! Brandon went above & beyond on my case!!! Brandon, along with Lauren & Tim were a pleasure to work with & made a high stress situation a lot easier for me from the very beginning!!! They truly care about their clients!!!

I don’t write reviews about anything, but this firm absolutely deserves one! I went to this firm very scared and anxious because I had never been in trouble before, but John and Brandon were very informative and eased all of my worries as best as they could, and gave me all the realistic outcomes of what may happen with each approach. Brandon represented me in court and was 100% there for me. He never left any question unanswered and would even call to update and even check in on me. I got the BEST possible outcome from my seriously messy case thank to Brandon, Oscar, John, and the rest of the team. I am able to have my life back thanks to them all. Also, Lauren is the sweetest and answers so promptly! If I could give it more stars I would, I truly could not have asked for a better firm to represent me.
