T. Leigh is a wonderful attorney. I am so happy that she was able to bring closure to a long drawn out case. We had just moved to Tennessee from Illinois. A case that I thought was resolved, reared its ugly head shortly after we moved here. I found the Ruston law practice reviews on line and immediately felt I would like working with T.Leigh. Most of the time when she contacted me it was late at night or on the weekends. She works tirelessly and dilgently for her clients. The opposing attorneys were unresponsive so she hounded them with the facts they were trying to ignore. With much pushing from her they finally dropped the case.
She is extremely dedicated and hard working. I am very grateful to her and highly recommend her.

I owe a lot to T. Leigh Hearn-Rushton. I was the subject of false accusations in a community setting and my accuser took me to civil court to get an order of protection against me. T. Leigh took one look at the paltry, disjointed allegations on the OP and accepted my case enthusiastically.
In court, we heard a number of new allegations against me for the first time. My accuser almost seemed to be making them up on the spot. T. Leigh objected, but the judge chose to listen to my accuser, and ended up making a decision in her favor based on her emotional performance. T. Leigh wrote the word Appeal on a piece of paper in front of me, and we walked straight out of the court room and filed one. She said that what happened in that court room was up to the judge, but that it was wrong, and she slashed her retainer for me and I hired her straight away again for the appeal.
We had a month to prepare, and we used it. Out of town all month, I spent hours going over and over the audio recording of the first trial, which, if she hadn't recorded, I don't know what we would have done. I made a seven page spread-sheet of every point of contention I had with my accuser's testimony. Meanwhile, T. Leigh was on the phone with me, asking me about everything, hearing me out, and guiding me through the process, and even helping reflect a clarity to me when I felt emotionally exhausted. As the appeal neared, T. Leigh dove in, burning long hours reading and making notes on everything I'd written, asking me for and poring over my evidence, having conversations with all my potential witnesses, and building her strategy for the trial.
Here's what happened at the appeal. My accuser, the petitioner of the OP, gave her testimony for a little less than half an hour. She said all the stuff she said at the last trial, plus one new allegation, which we had been able to anticipate from evidence. Then, T. Leigh cross-examined the petitioner for two-and-a-half hours. Then, the judge threw the OP out. I didn't even have to testify.
The cross-examination was one of the most brutal things I've ever seen. T. Leigh courteously extended the petitioner every invitation to contradict herself, to characterize things contrary to evidence (and then immediately presented that evidence), to show herself to be the guilty one we both knew her to be. T. Leigh was like a lion, playing with food. She was never mean or badgery... she was just completely authoritative and uncompromising, and the petitioner's case unraveled so thoroughly that by the end, she was just staring blankly at some low place, murmuring monosyllabic replies, and T. Leigh had to ask her to look at her.
T. Leigh apologized to one of her colleagues who had been working in the courtroom that day after the trial when most people had left. She said she was sorry that she took so many hours to win the case... she could have done it in less time, but she wanted to make absolutely certain that the petitioner sabotaged every one of her own claims, and that she would have nothing left with which to come after me again. She did all this with a drastically reduced retainer, because she believed in me, and more importantly, because she believes in justice. Hire her.

Leigh and her team are absolutely OUTSTANDING! I feel so blessed to have had her as my attorney and I thank my lucky stars. I was very well educated about my case from the beginning to the end and always informed of the next steps I needed to take to make sure we were successful. Leigh is very thorough and she leaves no stone unturned. She made sure that we were well prepared for any and "EVERYTHING" that could come our way.Trust her and the process and I guarantee you will come out on top. My life is finally being put back on track because of Leigh and her DYNAMITE team. I LOVE THE RUSHSTON LAWFIRM!

Leigh and her team worked diligently and effectively to close out my divorce. When bumps in the road happened, they were reassuring to me and assertive without being nasty or aggressive & did what needed to be done to close out my divorce much faster than I'd originally thought possible. I would recommend her in a heart beat- I spoke to quite a few attorneys before deciding without a shadow of a doubt that she was the one I wanted to have represent me. She reminds me of the cool auntie in the family!

Hi my name is David, I and my family of five moved from Louisville Kentucky to Spring Hill Tennessee. Intercourse was trying to find a home from my family I was looking at a home that was a little bit too pricey I needed a lot of work the owner could not fulfill her part and getting the work done on the home and I had already put $1,000 deposit on the home.... the owner had moved to Japan and refused to refund me the money that I had put up for the deposit, our family which was homeless at the time needed that money to move on to another home. Within about 5 business days my attorney was able to get my money refunded so that we can move on to buying us a home now me and my family are in a home at Christmas time thanks to T. Leigh Hearn-Rushton! Great!!
