As funny as this may sound I decided to retain Ms Grove to represent me in my divorce based on the review posted by "anonymous" in the above comment.Although the review I read was intended to be one of a negative nature regarding Ms.Grove I personally found that it did quite the opposite in my decision on whether to retain Ms.Grove in my upcoming legal battle.Infact,she pointed out several qualities I am looking for in an attorney, especially when you are facing the fight of your life in many ways.That being said ,so far she has lived up to and far exceeded my expectations.Although we have a ways to go in my case Rebecca's no nonsense approach at things have managed to put my mind at ease for the first time in many months.Ms.Grove is without a doubt the type of attorney you want to go to war beside and not against,all the while she keeps a smile on her face and a professional attitude towards all involved.I think the only way you can go wrong with Ms.Grove is if you underestimate her or you have the unfortunate task of being the opposing party.Lol.

Let me first start by saying that my case is complicated and convoluted. Many hoops needed to be jumped thru prior to litigation starting. For years, I thought I was forever stuck with the terrible PPP that I had. My previous lawyer scared me into signing an Agreed Order that was horrible and I was beyond scared to initiate proceedings due to the wording of my horrid PPP. Nonetheless, Ms. Grove accepted the challenge. She listened to my desires and wants. She cared. She became so deeply invested in my case that you could feel her heart and soul were being poured into her work. When my ex’s attorney would attempt to be slanderous or classless, Ms. Grove simply rose above it and instead of partaking in petty exchanges she focused on beating them where it counted - the courtroom. Never, in a million years, did I think an attorney would be as passionate about my case as I am but Ms. Grove proved me wrong. To say I was impressed with Ms. Grove’s representation is an understatement, I was astonished. Hurdle after hurdle was thrown her way and each time she beat those hurdles with facts and law.
Sure, Ms. Grove won my case hands down but she did more than that … She transformed our lives. I now have a functioning PPP. A happy child. Things that I have dreamed of for years I now have all thanks to Ms. Grove’s hard work. The stress that lifted off of my shoulders cannot even be put into words.
I can’t promise you’ll love Ms. Grove. I can’t promise Ms. Grove is your ‘cup of tea’. However, I can promise you that Ms. Grove will, without a doubt, pour blood, sweat and tears into your case. She will not back down from a fight. She will win with grace and dignity.
This is your life we are talking about. Your future. Your children’s lives. Do yourself a favor and at least schedule a consultation with Ms. Grove. She will listen and give you honest feedback about your case even if that means that litigation isn’t the best option at the moment.
Ms. Grove is more than attorney to me now. She’s family because she fought so hard for my family that I now consider her one of our own.

She is representing my husband in a divorce that I filed for. I’m not currently represented by an attorney so my husband told me to contact her directly. She has been incredibly unprofessional and has made false allegations and referred to my children who live with us as “freeloaders” and said that she intends to have us all relocated from our home. I asked her to send me a copy of documents and she originally agreed to email them to me and then later said that she isn’t my paralegal and refused to send them. She is incredibly immature and argumentative. She’s not someone I would want representing me. I’m not concerned that she represents my husband. Her threats and attempts at intimidation do not phase me.

She is awful! She allowed the opposing party to make changes in court dates without asking me if I was available which made our case drag out even longer. She waited til less than 48 hours before our court date to email me over 100 questions I needed to answer for the judge. She sat in court and argued in front of the judge like a teenage girl with the other attorney. When it was all said and done I found out that had she just reviewed my paperwork properly she would have found the answers to avoid all of this. We were going to court because neither parent was named primary and I wanted to be named. After hiring another attorney, I found out I was named primary the whole time she just didn't read the paperwork.

Ms. Grove was the 3rd attorney that I worked with due to a myriad of reasons. She shoots straight, gives you options, and makes sure that you are informed through out the entire process. Highly recommend.

I was referred to Ms. Grice by another attorney. That was one of the best referrals I have ever received and am so glad that I acted on it by contacting her. The other four attorneys that I had been referred to never even returned my call. She got me in the office, answered email and phone calls in a very quick and professional manner while never losing her ability to remain human and care for her clients. She helped me resolve a situation that had previously been tied up in court and with multiple attorneys that had been going on for almost 15 years. In a matter of 3 months she had resolved the issue and the issue was closed permanently. I'm very thankful to have been directed to Ms. Grice. If I ever need to employ an attorney again, it will her.

Mr. Jones is a very talented lawyer and it was pleasure having him represent me dealing with my mother’s estate. He kept me informed about everything he needed to complete the work and was available for all questions I had. I was impressed with his work ethic, personality and recommended him to another relative seeking representation. This was my first time hiring a lawyer and it was a very good experience. 5 stars.

Scott has proven to be professional while providing legal counsel on matters. His communication skills, both, written and verbal, leaves you with a good understanding of what your legal options are. He gives you multiple options , both pros and cons, on his legal approaches in presenting your case. But, he let you have the final decision.

Can a Lawyer Represent Me in Courts Outside of Memphis, 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. -
