In a highly contentious divorce, Leigh proved to be a fantastic choice in representation. She was responsive, thoughtful, and empathetic. Most importantly, when the dust settled- Leigh was spot on from day 1 as to how my case would be resolved. My case was particularly ugly and I experienced Leighturn from fierce advocate to more like a fierce advocate who was personally offended their family member or close friend was being targeted. I would not hesitate to recommend Leigh and would insist on consulting with her for your legal needs.

Rushton Law Firm is AMAZING!! Leigh Rushton represented me during my divorce that took over one year to finalize. From my first meeting with her, I knew she was the attorney I wanted by my side. She is compassionate, understanding, personable, patient and kind. Although the process encountered several "bumps in the road", Leigh always guided me through it with positive results. She is very responsive to communications and brutally honest. There were times I just wanted to give up and "be done" with everything but with Leigh's encouragement and support, I was able to finalize my divorce and the outcome was better than I could have ever imagined. I could not be more grateful to Leigh, Harold and Amber for their counsel and standing by my side through it all. Please don't be fooled by Leigh's adorable personality because she is a firecracker!! If you ever find yourself in need of an excellent divorce attorney that will stand firm and fight for what you deserve - Leigh Rushton is the warrior you need!!

Where do I begin? I was in one of the hardest places of my life and needing a knight in shining armor. I prayed and asked God to guide me to a lawyer, in faith I began search google and Ms. Hearn-Rushtons Law Firm popped up amongst many others so I started to check their reviews. The first review I saw for her read something like "she was a God send" and I knew this was the one! From beginning to end she wasn't just a lawyer she championed me! She is beyond excellent at what she does but to me even more important than her skill was her love for her clients! I am forever grateful that it was her I got to walk out that season in court with!

I will never be able to put into words the impact Leigh, Harold, Justina and the entire Rushton Law Firm has had on my life. I contacted Leigh for a consult needing legal council for my very high conflict divorce. I was married very young and had no idea where to start with this process... after reading reviews left by others I reached out but after my initial consult I knew Leigh was the one to represent me. Leigh advocated for me from start to finish in this process.. including many long nights, court dates and hours of mediation. Although I initially hired Leigh, Harold began to get involved a few months in and both of them stood with me throughout this process. One of the highest conflict points in this divorce was my fur baby being kept from me, Leigh and Harold had us reunited over 3 months before the divorce was finalized. Justina and Haley worked non stop in gathering documentation and making sure everything was prepared in a timely manner, as well as provided support throughout this process. Leigh and Harold went out of their way to build back up a very broken woman, and have given me an entire new quality of life. Not only are they the most bad-a** attorney duo in all of TN in my opinion, they have also become family. I will never be able to fully express to them how much they saved my life. I would highly recommend the Rushton Law Firm for any legal matter. Leigh and Harold are not only great attorneys, but amazing people. Divorce is HARD, but when you have an entire firm in your corner it feels a little more manageable to take on.

Leigh and her team were fantastic. They were thorough, professional, they were easy to reach at all hours. They handled my case successfully, and held my hand along the way. Highly recommend!

I chose Ms. Hearn-Rushton from an online search, having no referrals. I had called many lawyers already and most either didn't return my call or spoke to me as though I was just another interruption in their day. I called Ms. Hearn-Rushton's office late in the day and she actually answered the phone herself. We began speaking as though we had known one another for years! She was so compassionate and such an amazing listener! Even over the phone, I could tell she was actually LISTENING TO ME. She doesn't practice in the area that we needed a lawyer, but to my pleasant surprise she didn't merely wish me luck and get off the phone, she spoke with me for almost an entire hour, trying to help me find a lawyer that could help me! She also suggested helpful information such as how to lay out a timeline of events surrounding the case so that when I speak with another lawyer the conversation would be comprehensive and easily understood. She went above and beyond for me and my family, never having met me, and never charging me for the time she spent helping me. I hope I never need a lawyer again, but if I do Ms. Hearn-Rushton is it! THANK YOU! You helped us more than you could ever know!

As a first time young divorcee, I don’t have an idea about divorce. When my ex spouse served me with summons, I was nervous and don’t know what to do. I called a couple of law offices to inquire but, only attorney T. Leigh work with my case based on my goal and financial budget. Throughout the case she made sure that I get what is fair and right. She is not just an attorney but also feels like a family member that wants what is best for you. She have a delicate voice that you don’t feel pressured. Talking to her feels just like taking to a friend. It’s beyond words working with her. So grateful and thankful. I highly recommend attorney T. Leigh if you need a lawyer and a friend. - Joy C. -

Leigh was caring and thoughtful throughout the process. She was accessible and responsive. In our first call together, Leigh took time to connect with me personally and listen to my priorities and concerns. This conversation was used as the North Star as we moved through the legal process together. THANK YOU!!!!

At the time Attorney Leigh’s name was recommended to me for my divorce, I had contacted some attorneys that I didn’t just feel that connection with. I looked Leigh up on the web, called and left a message. She returned my call within 24 hours and started off right away, asked the right questions and listened attentively, I felt a sense of personal connection and empathy. From there on Leigh answered my texts and emails promptly, be it day or night, that made me wondered if she worked all the time! Whenever I texted or emailed, she clearly and thoroughly addressed each and every concern and question. There was no intermediary between us, I think the only times I interacted with her assistant were when I visited her office or when following up on request to submit needed document. She directly messaged me and answered my calls, this to me is very important and appreciated. Leigh adequately prepared me in what to expect and looked out for me. She really knows her stuff. She got the job done at a very reasonable fee and pace. She was professional, compassionate, friendly, and calm. Her calmness helped me a lot during emotional times. Thank you so very much Leigh for going above and beyond. I am thankful that you were a part of the many help I received in my time of need. I recommend Attorney T. Leigh Hearn-Rushton for your legal needs. Additional Review: I used to know a preacher whose popular phrase was “It’s not over until it is over”. That phrase became more meaningful to me when I thought my divorce case was over, but my ex disputed and took us right back to court. Sometimes when you think you are done with something; it comes back rearing its ugly head. I hired attorney Leigh Rushton again to represent me in my post-divorce case and I was not disappointed. She and her team were phenomenal! Attorney Leigh once again with her unmatched experience, immediately went to work to strike the unjustified pleadings, and guess what happened in the end, she articulated my case and got me the desired and deserved favorable outcome. As the year is coming to an end as I ponder on what/who I am thankful for, Leigh Hearn-Rushton is one of them. I am thankful and count myself blessed to have a Leigh represent me in my post-divorce case. I now appreciate the phrase “It is not over until it is over” because now it is truly over. Do not hesitate to hire attorney Leigh for your legal needs. She is highly experienced, knowledgeable, efficient, empathizing and easily accessible, she will work with you personally and you are not just a number in her case files. Make sure you timely provide her with any info she requires of you for her to help your case, do not hold back any truth. I also want to mention that during my post-div case, I needed to enforce a decree out of state, and had no clue how. Leigh with her connection, linked me with a compassionate, experience and affordable attorney like her in another state who also got the work done. I strongly recommend attorney Leigh Hearn-Rushton.

After my marriage of 24 years ended in divorce, Attorney Leigh as I fondly call her to consult in my divorce proceedings was my sound of reasoning. She has a brilliant legal mind in comparison to her Husbandn. She was my anchor throughout the entire process and I am forever grateful for her unyielding support and concern for my welfare. She has a strong work ethic and she is determined to obtain the best results for her clients. Her strategic plan in my divorce case was her secret weapon that provided the outcome I would have never anticipated. A settlement reached without a trial! Attorney Leigh is the absolute best and I am proud to have been blessed in allowing her and her staff to assist and service me with my divorce proceedings. As a superior litigator, she possesses the ability to relate to her clients. Thank you Attorney Leigh for taking my lemons and making sweet Lemonade.

In 2018 T. Leigh Hearn-Rushton took on my case for my divorce. I researched everybody I could and no one would answer. So this was my last hope and by the Goodness of God she took on my case. Leigh is more than a lawyer. She is a fair passionate woman who will fight tooth and nail for what's fair and right. I struggled to get through my divorce because of how my ex was but Leigh made sure to help keep my head up and faith in what we knew would be a great outcome for us both. I have to she is a wonderful woman inside and out and if I were to recommend someone getting things done she is the right one. I have to say from the bottom of my heart I'm grateful to her and all that she helped me with.

I wish I could truly convey what Ms. Hearn-Rushton has meant to me these past few months. She helped get a wrongful Order of Protection against me overturned and dismissed and showed me the care and thoughtfulness that a true friend or family member would. She has gone above and beyond for me every time it was called for. I literally couldn't recommend her more. Thank you T. Leigh, thank you...
