Personable and professional, clearly explained process and was transparent regarding legal fees. Responsive, worked to streamline communication, kept things simple and minimized costs by being efficient and focused on progress. Recommend without any reservations.

Luke just ran rings around my ex's lawyer. This guy knows the law inside and out. More importantly, though, he worked with me so that I understood what was going on, and he gave a damn about what was going on with my kids. They're not kidding -- they put family first. This guy's the real deal.

Prepare for a long detailed review. They are worth it!! During my long exstensive divorce...I found my circumstances were much more severe than expected. I reached out to a retired Knox Co. judge informing him my current dissatisfaction with the enigma of my case and previous attorney (NOT Luke) and the outcome of our future. The judge encouraged and edified Luke Shipley as the best and most qualified to get me the outcome that I needed for the protection and safety of my daughter and I. I hired Luke who at the time was with another law firm. I quickly noticed he was doing far more exstensive research, work, and digging then what was recorded on the law firms invoices. The complexity of my case was heart breaking and confusing. The paper trail alone was enough to cause high anxiety but not for Luke. Luke was fluid in his knowledge and expertise of the law able to stay ahead of the opponent. He brought in his powerful wife who was able to shed light on the criminal aspect of the case. I was beyond thankful when Luke and Megan began their own practice. By this time, Luke had already fixed the mess the previous attorney had made and began helping me undo all the emotional and mental control from my ex by shedding light on the truth and going to bat for me. He defended me, my daughter, and the law. Luke and Megan's code of ethics and financial practices are honest, hard working, and for the good of their clients. No one wants to go through the pain and loss of divorce...but when you do, it's GOOD to have attorneys who fight for you, listen to you, and understand you. Luke stayed balanced, informative, and was able to look at every angle to see what would protect us and secure our future while doing what was honorable and right according to the laws of TN. If I ever need an attorney again...Luke Shipley and Megan Swain will always be the attorneys I go with, recommend, and forever respect. Thank you both so much for the peace you've given to this mama's heart. I'm eternally grateful. It you need an attorney, no question...Hire "Shipley & Swain." They will care for you selflessly and respect your money. They will do what's best for you and all involved for your case.

Luke is an amazing knowledgeable attorney that always kept me informed every step of the way in my case. He truly cares about his clients and really fights hard for you. I would recommend him to anyone seeking legal issues.

Mr. Shipley very ably represented me. I was going through the toughest time of my life but with his knowledge and guidance I made it through and am better off because of it. Hiring a lawyer is important, do yourself a favor and hire him, you'll be glad you did.

I have known Luke for about 3 years now and he is probably the best family law attorney I know. I have contacted Luke for advice and guidance and without hesitation he willingly helps. Luke is a great family lawyer because he has a huge heart and can empathize with clients. He is patient with his clients and is great at explaining the process. While patient, he is also aggressive in the courtroom. Luke shows no fear or insecurity, only zealous advocation in a courtroom which is really impressive! Luke is one of the best lawyers I know and I would highly recommend him to anyone (as I have done so many times).

I don't know where to even start. From day 1 Luke had my back. He answered all my questions quickly and throughly. He knew the law. He wasn't scared of anything. He was honest with me about what to expect. He got me better results that I ever hoped for. Most of all though, he gave a damn about me and my kids. I never felt like I was alone and I never felt afraid of what was going to happen next. He made one of the worst situations in my life far smoother and better than I ever dreamed possible. Don't shop around- go here first.

Great experience. Luke made something that was emotionally very difficult, procedurally simple. A stressful situation was made bearable by his professionalism. I would definitely recommend Held to anyone!

Luke is a nice guy but he made a critical error in my case which I now have to hire another attorney to try and fix. Very dissappointed.

I came to Luke with a case that everyone else said was too hard. Luke was straight up with me and told me it was hard but he liked a good fight. A short time later, I have my house, my kids, and no psycho ex. I couldn't be happier. Luke was honest, hardworking, had an amazing knowledge of the law, and was always around to answer questions. if you need a lawyer, talk to him and get results.

I came to Luke after a bad experience with several other attorneys. He was up font, direct, knowledgeable, and effective. He told me what I needed to hear, not what I wanted to hear. He explained the law to me, he laid out my options, and he got results. I always knew what was going on and felt like someone was finally standing up for me. I can’t recommedn him highly enough.

Luke Shipley handled my son's divorce and child custody case recently. He is knowledgeable beyond his years, responsive and tenacious. He kept us informed, did an excellent job in the courtroom and won my son more than what he asked for. Luke was also very judicious with his fees. He is the finest lawyer I have ever been associated with.
