Worse of the worse, a con artist that will deceive women through the women abuse center the he runs. Most of the time will not answer your phone if you are no more useful to get money…

Will not return phone calls or emails. Completed petition and parenting plan. Just needs to be filed for over a month now. My children have since been moved away to another city. This process which should have only taken a month, which he stated would be "filed by the end of the week", has taken 4 months so far. I paid my retainer and I am extremely frustrated at this point. I do not have time to be wasting.

He genuinely seemed to care and was confident in his knowledge of the whole divorce process. He always gave me good and fair advice and worked to resolve my issues with compassion. I felt well represented and even though it was a very horrible phase in my life, I felt like I was in good hands and that he, Abby, and Thomas were in my corner and truly have empathy for their clients. Honestly there were times when I didn’t get much communication, but it’s the sad thing about abuse…..there’s ALOT of it unfortunately and I know he was covered up. I am so grateful for their help and I’m now free to be “me” again.

Hands down the best divorce attorney. I cannot believe it has been a year since my divorce. He is knowledgeable, honest, friendly, funny and most of all Mitch and Abby did not treat me like I was another client. It was like family. I could call email or text if I had any questions and I still do to this day. Divorce is not easy but I can’t say thank you enough to Mitch and Abby. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who is going through a divorce.

Im disabled my check is around 1400 dhs is taking 800 from me leaving me with 524 a month and this has been like this for over 5 years . I cant get a call email nothing back from him and child support inforcement dont care and will not do anything toll a judge makes them. I would highly advise you not to hire him he ignores my calls messages and even text messages and ill call from a different number he will answer and come up with a reason to have to call me back and never hear from him. And i live four hours away so i cant just go to his office i cant afford to just drive up there and he knows it so he just stole my momey in my eyes

Chay is amazing! Attorneys like Chay changes the bitter stereotype and perspectives about lawyers. If she’s unable to take a case (due to surplus) she will send you directly to a reputable colleague in the business. Make no mistake, they are very reasonable, professional and personable just like Chay. So, essentially, Chay will not turn down an opportunity to help. I could not let another day go by without writing this review because her kind assistance really changed my day as well as my outlook on my situation.

I had messaged Chay on Avvo regarding the difficult situation I was in and she called us to provide her consultation and suggested we go to Memphis, TN USCIS office and request for an emergency/expedited advance parole. We immediately did so and drove down to memphis and got the advance parole document in person. Super thankful to her :)

My dad was sick in bed at a nursing home and he and his wonderful ladies at the office came to bedside to do a power of attorney. More to this but trust me - he is not money driven. Blessed by them ❤️

We had an on-going issue with a neighbor that worked for the county and other lawyers did not want to take our case due to the office he held. We explained to Nathan about the bullying of our neighbor over a real estate easement and he took care of the issue without going to court even though our neighbor had obtained a lawyer. Way to go Nathan Luna. Thank you so much!

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 Murfreesboro, 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.
