Kristen represented me through a custody dispute, as I tried to navigate the best possible scenario for my daughter, age 5. We knew some of the things I was fighting for (relocation) was an uphill battle, but she supported me while also giving me realistic assessments of our options. She is well-known with other lawyers for her ability to mediate and had been recommended to me by her peers. I highly recommend her! We had a successful mediation despite some extremely challenging decisions.

I retained Kristen in December of 2021. During our initial meeting she answered every question and I had 3 pages of them. She never made me feel rushed and even asked if I had additional questions. She and her team made me feel important. When dissolving a marriage of 28 years it can be absolutely crushing as we all know. Kristen was always a voice of reason and calm. Things were settled in a timely manner to my benefit. My day in court was a tearful day and Kristen made sure I was calm, cool and collected before she left me. Lots of hugs. I have referred her to several people. Thanks- Susan

Kristen is a consummate advocate; she is professional, knowledgeable, well informed, and realistic with a commanding courtroom presence.

A divorce can be one of the most stressful and emotional experiences in life. The pain, disruption and uncertainty will be difficult and take time. It is important to keep focus and get through this difficult time with strong legal guidance. I can assure you, Kristen Amonette did just this. I was most impressed with her communication skills, good judgement and her dedication to my case. She has a calm and empathetic demeanor. I am grateful for her services and I highly recommend Ms. Amonette.

Kristen advised me through a challenging divorce and was professional, supportive and I was very happy with her negotiating advice. She has my highest recommendation.

I could not recommend Kristen more highly! She listens, comprehends, and acts in a manner that brings confidence and peace.

My wife and I had spent our 20 year marriage in Nashville and LA. We had substantial assets in both states. I made the mistake of signing a prenup before our marriage. The first attorney I wanted was Laura Wasser the disso queen of LA. I was quickly informed that our divorce would have to take place in Nashville since my wife claimed Tennessee residency so she did not have to pay California state taxes. I called around and Everyone I talked to said Kristen Amonette was the Disso queen of Nashville. It was a complex situation especially with the Prenup. Ultimately, we were able to mediate a settlement that kept my wife out of the news and my prenup abandoned. Ms. Amonette was not cheap, but in the end worth every penny. I am beyond grateful.

Divorce is such a terrifying emotional roller coaster and Kristen helped get me through the trenches of it. From day one, the most scary day of all, her sweet and always professional office manager, listened to me cry out what I needed someone's professional assistance with. Thankfully Kristen was able to get me in same day to meet with her. She informed me on the laws of our county/state, what my legal rights are, and most of all treated me like I was human being and not just some other case. Kristen is very detailed, organized and knows the law inside and out. Unfortunately the other side of my divorce cost both sides more money and dragged it out longer than it should have, due to the attorney he hired. It pays to have someone on your side that knows family law inside and out and has great experience. I couldn't have gone through all of it without Kristen in my corner. I would recommend Kristen to anyone needing legal assistance through a divorce, especially with children.

Divorce is not easy, emotionally or financially, but in many cases, it is the necessary means to the end of an unsustainable situation. Looking back, as a father, seeking custody of three young girls, 6 and under, I can remember thinking just how much the odds seemed to be against me. Yet, here I am, one year after my divorce was settled (thru trial) with zero regrets, as I was awarded everything I was seeking. When I share my story with those closest to me, and the results, the reaction is typically the same. What? How?!? And, that answer is quite simple. Kristen. Her support leading up to and during my trial was exceptional. There was no wasted effort, or time, on my part. She quickly could zero in on the matters that needed attention and eliminate those that weren't as important to the ultimate goal. This is not a small point, many attorneys could have taken advantage of my situation, and the opportunity for endless "billable" hours, but not once did I feel that was the case with Kristen. When it did come to trial, her knowledge of the law and attention/retention of the details of my case allowed her to handle, seemingly effortlessly, each and every curveball thrown her way. If you take nothing else away from my comments, single most important piece of advice I can offer is, seek out an attorney you can trust, absolutely. One that will do everything in their power to seek resolution as quickly and painlessly as our system will allow. However, most importantly, if you're faced with unreasonable opposition, and settlement isn't an option, you need someone capable of successfully seeing all aspects of your case thru to the end, even if that means going to trial. For this, you won't find better counsel then Kristen.

Kristen handled my divorce. From our very first meeting, I knew she would help guide and support me through the difficult process. She was my advocate from start to finish. She is smart, fair, strategic, and she does what she says she is going to do. She helped me to understand my options in a very transparent and supportive manner. She knows divorce law inside and out and she taught me about the law and process as well. She helped me in many ways outside of our legal relationship as well. She made herself available to me and was always willing to lend an ear and share her perspective. The financial result of my divorce was far better than it could have been under TN divorce law and that is because of Kristen's work and guidance. She guided me through the process in a manner that felt both like my friend and lawyer, and she helped me manage the emotional aspect of divorce. I always had total confidence and trust in working with her.

Kristen provided months of sensitive and attentive support during a difficult divorce process. Her apparent and substantial understanding of legal matters is certainly why I choose her after considering several other attorneys. While she certainly delivered on that she always treated me respectfully, sensitively, honestly and warmly. Her approach helped me feel supported, understood, and encouraged. I am grateful to her and her team for the the tremendous and conscientious work during the divorce process.

Kristen was an excellent resource in a complicated divorce. After consultation and support from Kristen, a marriage of 20+ years with multiple properties and other assets were divided equally and equitably. I would recommend Kristen to anyone faced with a complicated divide.
