No one wants to go through a divorce. However, if you do have to go through a divorce it helps to have an attorney who is human and who has compassion and empathy for your situation. The process can be confusing and sometimes overwhelming so you need an attorney who can help you navigate the legal hurdles and who can help you understand what needs to happen. Rachel Upshaw is incredibly professional and very responsive. She was always there when I needed her. Joellyn was also very helpful and was very responsive to questions. If you need a divorce attorney I highly recommend going with Rachel Upshaw. She cares and will help you get through this.

From consultation to the final hearing, Attorney Rachel Upshaw showed absolute professionalism, honesty, and high standards of ethics. Coupled with an appropriate amount of empathy, I felt safe and secure through my divorce case that lasted approximately 6 months. It was a contested divorce case and involved a lot of sensitive information which was handled with exceptional discretion. She has an excellent understanding and execution of the law and procedures. Not a detail is missed with attorney Upshaw. You can expect proactive involvement and timely responses always. I am so thankful to have had her as my family attorney in one of the most challenging and transforming times in my life. Thank you Rachel and the rest of the team at Miller and Upshaw. You’ve made this process end in victory and actual joy.

Mrs. Miller has represented me for over 9 years now as my ex-husband has been using the legal system to continue harassing me after divorce. Karla is very alert and attentive. She has great memory, very organized, very knowledgeable, and detail oriented lady. I have enjoyed seeing her cornering him in every single court hearing and deposition. She, and her team, put alot of effort digging into proofs and weaving them together to prove our points. I was extremely satisfied in my last court hearing watching her questioning my ex, proving and documenting all the perjuries and fraud he is committing. She led the Judge to say that this is one of the top 5 most outrageous perjury cases he has seen throughout his career in law as an attorney and as a Judge.

Rachel Upshaw is an outstanding lawyer and human being. Getting a divorce is very difficult to deal with. She led me through the process with intelligence and compassion helping me to come to a resolution that I feel comfortable with. Rachel was a voice of reason at all times and when necessary a fierce advocate. I recommend her highly to anyone who finds themselves in need of a lawyer.

Ms.Miller was assertive, incredibly quick, showed confidence and excellent communication skills, especially during cross examination. She superseded my expectations with an unlikely outcome in our favor. This is the best attorney I have ever encountered.

    So my soon to be ex husband and I are looking to file a pro se divorce. That is an uncontested divorce, filed by a single party with no debts shared vehicles and with an agreed upon arrangement for the sharing of children and payment if child support ( you have to specify your divorce as including kids or not and workout your parenting plan ahead of time). After printing the paperwork off, however, I wanted advice and a professional double check I had worked it out properly. Not only was the ENTIRE STAFF SUPER COURTEOUS AND HELPFUL but Audrey Lee Anderson was extremely professional and helped with all the fine details. She was a blessing to find and worked with both of us to ensure and notarize everything. I was able to file myself, as we wanted as little court interference as possible and she went over and guided us through everything step by step. Her office is lovely, her personality is fantastic and she ABSOLUTELY HAS THE CHOPS TO HANDLE LARGER MORE SERIOUS CASES. If I ever needed a family law or divorce attorney or knew anyone who did she would be my first recommendation. You have to remember that in life: YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR, and most lawyers with consultation fees have them because they are investing serious and caring thought in to your case from the moment you walk in. After having dealt with lawyers in my life for everything from family law to property law I can ASSURE EVERYONE READING THIS THAT SHE IS A PHENOMENAL ATTORNEY! We may have only needed guidance but I cannot stress enough how nice it is to know where my future attorney would come from if I ever needed it. Kelley and Lance were equally professional and invested as well and every great lawyer has a great team! ******* Had to add SHE ABSOLUTELY CARES AND IS DEVOTED TO EVERY CLIENT AND THEIR UNIQUE CIRCUMSTANCES. We were far from a "big money case" and she still devoted her care and expertise to me today. She brought a lot of piece of mind to a situation that has been long going and could have been very messy without her. Again, for the 3rd time, if EVER I NEED AN ATTORNEY TO BACK ME::: YOU CAN BET YOUR BOTTOM DOLLAR IT WILL BE HER AND HER PHENOMENAL TEAM!!

    Just a couple of things. 1) her address on google is not the address she is at (on google on 10/30/20 says 2nd street). 2) obviously because of that the pictures do not reflect her current office. The picture on google shows her near a bookcase. The office I saw had loose papers everywhere and file boxes all over the floor 3) you have to pay full price before even seeing her. Not a hold, but full price. Found this out afterwards. See #6 4) I showed up at the proper time and called day before, her team confirmed on the phone that my appointment was confirmed and said I’m good. They also said I would receive an email which I never did. 5) her office overlooks a putt putt golf course if that means anything 6) when I showed up on time, she dismissed me to be on speaker phone talking to someone about Porta johns. Made me wait 15min 7) finally when she got done, she said no one expected me because I “didn’t pay”. When I asked what the protocol was and what the cost was, the her office couldn’t log into square to bill me, I said I will make another appointment and she proceeded to wave her hand in the air to dismiss me and said “fine”. Take it how you want it. I’m definitely not giving five stars because I went to 2nd Street location and she didn’t even comp me for my parking. They also didn’t offer water or ask how I am doing while I waited. But also not giving her 1 star because we really didn’t talk that much. But take this lesson however you want it Update: nov 8 Thanks Audrey for your response. I have change the address for you to be the correct one now. Your welcome and after reading your response I have reduced the star rating.

    Ms. Anderson and her staff were very thoughtful and made a difficult time in my life a little easier. Not only did Audrey explain the legal aspect, but she made sure that I understood. I'm very thankful for her and her staff.

    I hired Audrey for a child custody issue. OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE! I recommend Audrey to everyone that needs an A++++ lawyer. She is very understanding and has a genuine belief in what's right and just. She always has a great attitude and an amazing smile that calms you. I wish I could give 10 stars! She is definitely worth it!!

    Audrey Lee Anderson handled my child support case, and she spent a lot of time with me researching my case, and she was always available to answer my questions any time I had them. Audrey was concerned about the well-being of my son, first and foremost, and kept his future as the top priority, as well as providing a wealth of personal support. She is highly qualified, has a remarkable team behind her, and handled the case extremely well in the courtroom, through knowledge of the procedures and what needed to take place in order for the case to be resolved. I would highly recommend Ms. Anderson to anyone looking for a family lawyer.

    Amanda and her team are the best. They were all very responsive and very knowledgeable. I had a very complicated divorce and custody case. Amanda walked this single father through every step and the outcome was completely what I wanted!! If you want a strong legal team...Amanda is the right choice!!

    Attorney Thornton represented me and was wonderful. It was emotional for me and looking back I am so glad I had her in my corner. Although she didn’t call me every day, I know she was trying to keep my fees down because she was extremely reasonable with her fees and time. I know that she has a lot of other cases because she is great at what she does, but she would work behind the scenes and gave me updates as I requested. I appreciate her not trying to rack up unnecessary fees or expenses at my costs. She didn’t always tell me what I wanted to hear, but she was straightforward and I respect that because she didn’t give me false hope. I knew what to expect whether I liked it or not. She also let me know anytime there were delays and why and continued working my case through COVID and all the shutdowns when things ran slower. Looking back I may not have always liked what she told me, but I know without a doubt she was honest with me. Her staff was wonderful and kind especially Jesse! I hope i never need another lawyer but if I do I will call her again.

    Amanda was quick to answer all questions that I had. She is compassionate, kind, and truly cares about her clients. Amanda and her staff are considerate, timely, and professional. If you’re looking for excellent representation, look no further than Amanda Thornton.

    Amanda and her paralegal were amazing to help me through something that is so important to me! She responded quickly every time I contacted them and handled my case with sincere compassion and professionalism. She pushed my case through quickly to give my son his late father’s name. I cannot thank you enough for your help, Amanda!!!! Definitely recommend her to anyone!

    Do not hire Amanda Thornton as your divorce attorney! I’ve never publicly written a poor review, but feel it’s necessary in this circumstance to help others. She doesn’t care about her clients’ outcomes and does absolutely nothing to fight for them. Ms. Thornton never offered any guidance and only did the bare minimum even when asked directly for advice. It’s very obvious she chooses the path of least resistance for herself. She’s very slow to respond (sometimes 2-4 weeks on important, pressing issues) and just blames everything on Covid. I wish my friend had chosen someone else as I believe the outcome could have been very different.

    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.

    As you can imagine meeting and working with a family attorney isn’t always under the most calm and optimal of circumstances. I met and interviewed with 5 of the top attorneys in Nashville. Kristin made one of the most difficult times in my life manageable. Her professionalism, counsel, patience, and overall approach to the entire process was extraordinary. I felt completely at ease and know that I absolutely made the right decision to work with her.

    Joshua represented me in my divorce and in the years since then as my ex-husband and I have co-parented our children. He was always prepared, professional and thorough. When I walk into his office he has briefed himself on my history and background and is ready for any question I might bring. He is a good listener and a thoughtful, caring person. In addition he's expert in his field, especially with the international aspect of my divorce. I give him my highest recommendation.

    Divorce was new to me. As a father seeking custody of his three young girls, I didn’t know what to expect. I didn’t know where to turn. All I knew is that I had children that were at risk and I needed help. Fortunately, I was given Joshua’s name by someone I trusted deeply, and from the very first phone call it was clear I’d be in good hands with Joshua. His attentiveness, and attention to detail always made me feel like I was his only client. If I had a question or needed to talk and reached out, he was ALWAYS there for me. On average, his response time could be measured not in days or even hours but in MINUTES. Which is exactly what you want and need during such trying times. Quick, Clear, and Concise feedback. Always. At each step of the way, Joshua did an exceptional job of laying out each option available, and how each one could impact me as the father to my 3 young girls. His experience gave him the ability to keep me from being surprised along the way. He was great at managing my expectations throughout the process. An absolute necessity for anyone hoping to come out the other side in one piece. Given the stakes at hand, and long-term implications, I needed the best and I am 100% certain I had that in Joshua. I am forever grateful for the wonderful support and counsel I received from Joshua and all that he was able to do for me and my girls. He is the best. Period.

    My first engagement with Kristin Amonette was exceptional. She took the reins of a very complex case and restored sanity and order to the process. I found her to be prepared as well as aggressive when she needed to be but advised me on multiple strategies to consider. However, my disappointment with her and the firm in general and why this is a 3 star review and not a 5 star is because she and the firm do not mange their clients well. It would sometimes take WEEKS to get calls back or follow through on important issues. I would frequently leave 5+ messages before getting a return call. I often felt like the firm would forget I was even a client, often having to retell the same information multiple times to get back up to speed, rather than the firm just being too busy to be responsive. I realize that attorneys take on more clients than they can handle in order to stay busy and make more money, but servicing your clients during very delicate negotiations where time is of the essence are table stakes for the amount of money being spent on this service.

      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.

      As you can imagine meeting and working with a family attorney isn’t always under the most calm and optimal of circumstances. I met and interviewed with 5 of the top attorneys in Nashville. Kristin made one of the most difficult times in my life manageable. Her professionalism, counsel, patience, and overall approach to the entire process was extraordinary. I felt completely at ease and know that I absolutely made the right decision to work with her.

      Joshua represented me in my divorce and in the years since then as my ex-husband and I have co-parented our children. He was always prepared, professional and thorough. When I walk into his office he has briefed himself on my history and background and is ready for any question I might bring. He is a good listener and a thoughtful, caring person. In addition he's expert in his field, especially with the international aspect of my divorce. I give him my highest recommendation.

      Divorce was new to me. As a father seeking custody of his three young girls, I didn’t know what to expect. I didn’t know where to turn. All I knew is that I had children that were at risk and I needed help. Fortunately, I was given Joshua’s name by someone I trusted deeply, and from the very first phone call it was clear I’d be in good hands with Joshua. His attentiveness, and attention to detail always made me feel like I was his only client. If I had a question or needed to talk and reached out, he was ALWAYS there for me. On average, his response time could be measured not in days or even hours but in MINUTES. Which is exactly what you want and need during such trying times. Quick, Clear, and Concise feedback. Always. At each step of the way, Joshua did an exceptional job of laying out each option available, and how each one could impact me as the father to my 3 young girls. His experience gave him the ability to keep me from being surprised along the way. He was great at managing my expectations throughout the process. An absolute necessity for anyone hoping to come out the other side in one piece. Given the stakes at hand, and long-term implications, I needed the best and I am 100% certain I had that in Joshua. I am forever grateful for the wonderful support and counsel I received from Joshua and all that he was able to do for me and my girls. He is the best. Period.

      My first engagement with Kristin Amonette was exceptional. She took the reins of a very complex case and restored sanity and order to the process. I found her to be prepared as well as aggressive when she needed to be but advised me on multiple strategies to consider. However, my disappointment with her and the firm in general and why this is a 3 star review and not a 5 star is because she and the firm do not mange their clients well. It would sometimes take WEEKS to get calls back or follow through on important issues. I would frequently leave 5+ messages before getting a return call. I often felt like the firm would forget I was even a client, often having to retell the same information multiple times to get back up to speed, rather than the firm just being too busy to be responsive. I realize that attorneys take on more clients than they can handle in order to stay busy and make more money, but servicing your clients during very delicate negotiations where time is of the essence are table stakes for the amount of money being spent on this service.

    Mr Potter is fantastic. He's a kind man, and feels what your going though. He knows his books and is very good at what he does. If your looking for a good family lawyer he's a good one!

    Mr Potter took my case and within two days we were in front of a judge for a custody hearing for my grandson he was so very kind and walked me thru every step of the way as I was from out of state he he took care of my case quickly and efficiently

    Jim Potter is the best lawyer around! He is friendly, straightforward, and professional. I would HIGHLY recommend him for your attorney needs. He is AMAZING!

    My wife hired Mr. Potter to represent her during our divorce. Mr. Potter told me this was like tennis, back and forth. He told me keep calling our daughter even though my wife was saying everything goes through my lawyer- just got hit with a temporary order of protection. Mr. Potter told me he's just a hired gun, it's not personal. I'm not sure if he has kids or not, but it's always personal when it concerns your children. I find this man to just be another typical money first lawyer. And I want everyone to know that this guy lied to me over the phone, treated me poorly telling me he had more important calls to make. I was in essence, wasting his precious time. Again. My daughter's life hangs in the balance and his illustrations are tennis, hired gun, and my time is more important than yours.

    Mr. Potter was so kind and caring throughout and beyond my divorce. Truly an honest man who represents his clients best interests. His legal assistant Kristina Smith is so pleasant and professional. This team goes the extra yard and will prove that from day one! From an ocean away I still feel their personal and caring touch! You will not be disappointed.

    By far one of the best in the area Mr. Jeffery Campbell exceeds all expectations that I had for an attorney. He goes above and beyond in all aspects, and will do his very best to bring the best possible outcome fruition. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for an attorney. Because he will surpass any expectation that you’d have for an attorney, and make your situation far less stressful.

    Mr. Hunt and his team at Patton & Pittman were amazing! The responsiveness, attention to detail, and empathy they held while going through my divorce process was amazing. There was not a time I had a question, that they did not answer when I called or emailed. I highly recommend Mr. Hunt!!! The quality of service at a fair price for the attention to detail and responsiveness was great! If you are going somewhere else, please read all the reviews and make the decision you know is best! Thank you so much Mr. Hunt and team!

    I worked with both Mr. Nathan Hunt and Mr. Cole Corder. I was super nervous because I’ve never had to use a lawyer before let alone think I’d ever have to for a divorce. They took the time to listen to my concerns and ensured that everything was dealt with in a timely and professional manner. The legal assistant Marti Mitchell was always so eager to help and answer all my questions! Genuinely one of the sweetest individuals. I appreciate everything they have done and I know they would do the same for anyone!

    Mr. Campbell is the kind of lawyer that makes you feel that he genuinely has your back in the courtroom. After going through some traumatic accusations, Mr. Campbell explained the processes and what to expect, how to prepare, and the reality of what the outcomes would be. I am throughly satisfied with his office and team. They do great work and you feel taken care of. I will use his office again and the price is fair for the work being conducted.

    Theresa Schimmels has been the best attorney to work with. She has kept me up to date on everything going on and has been super understanding as my proceedings were taking longer than normal due to the pandemic. I could not have hoped for better quality of service and would highly recommend.

    Joshua Etson & his team, specifically Lona are amazing! At the time of needing a lawyer, I was recommended to check them out & I’m glad I did. The communication & quick response made this long process so much easier & less stressful. Without a doubt I would highly recommend trusting this amazing team to help you out. I would like to thank Joshua & his paralegal Lona for helping me out in my time of need, I felt like I mattered & was in great hands even without me having to physically be there. Once again, do not hesitate on reaching & trusting this outstanding team!

    If you’re needing a great attorney, Jacob Fendley is definitely you’re guy!! Extremely professional and always on time. Can’t say enough good things about Mr. Fendley and his team!! Would highly recommend if your looking for a great lawyer and don’t want to have any worries!!

    I used Joshua Etson and his paralegal, Lona. They are exceptional! Very friendly and I feel like they actually care about me as a person, not just another check. If I ever need a lawyer again (hopefully that’s never) I will use them for sure! Thank you guys for all your hard work!

    Mr. Joshua Etson and his paralegal Lona Nunn, handled my issue very professionally, in a timely matter with an amazing outcome. Very pleased. Thank yall for everything!!!

    My friend is in the army currently deployed and needed help with a custody/pay situation within the military. We were quoted a price totally different from what was actually given and was denied help because these people assumed that he was “wringing” the army. First of all, why would you make such a bold assumption that my friend is just trying to get out of a simple deployment? You don’t know his life, his circumstance or his chain of command. Secondly, my friend is getting underpaid by the army because of this situation and all he is trying to do is get this taken care of so that he can have a place for his child to live so that she can be in his life more. He’s an amazing father and all he needed was some help. The audacity is really blowing my mind. I wouldn’t recommend this law firm to anyone at all ever. Just disgusting.
