The attorney who was assigned my case is young without much experience. 1.5 years out of law…read moreschool. She was completely unaware of the 3 plea deals offered, which is unacceptable. That's her job to know everything about the case. On a Friday afternoon at 530pm an email was sent with bombshell information which apparently she expected the client to stew on all weekend. That is unprofessional, distressing and disrespecting the client. Furthermore, she sent discovery in an unencrypted email. Horrible! I don't think this is the right career for her. Lastly, attached are 2 email notices. One says I do need to appear and the other says no appearance at 436pm the day before I must appear. She withdrew from my case due to me asking valid questions, making her aware that she should of known about the plea deals as well as saying something about the discovery sent via unencrypted email. Do not let this firm represent your case. You will not have a great outcome!

I have had such a positive experience with David Veile of Schell & Oglesby law firm I wanted to…read moreleave a review. I had a uniquely strange situation and reached out to my business attorney for direction on how to handle it. My attorney recommended David Veile in Franklin, Tn., because he has an outstanding reputation as a defense attorney. I was completely pleased with Mr. David Veile from the very first phone call to the timely conclusion. Even though the circumstance was bizarre, David handled it with the utmost professionalism. His knowledge and ability is outstanding and he was able to quickly combat and rectify my situation. He is extremely professional, readily accessible and I could not be more satisfied with my interactions with Mr. Veile. If you are looking for a very qualified, highly professional and personable, exceedingly knowledgeable defense attorney, I highly recommend David Veile.

I used Phil Newman of Puryear, Newman and Morton, for legal counsel regarding my divorce. Phil and…read morehis team were wonderful to work with. They were very helpful during a difficult time in my life. A divorce in my late 60's was not what I had envisioned, but thankfully I had a fantastic team of family, friends, and professional legal counsel to help me maneuver my way so that I could move forward with my life. I never felt like I was just another number to Phil, Andrea, Julie, Rachel, or Alice. Something as personal and difficult as a divorce was made easier due to their caring spirit, their knowledge, and professionalism. I am sincerely appreciative of Phil's leadership and advice and an added bonus was his ability to make me laugh. P.W

I did talk with other attorneys, but their approach was too mean spirited for my liking. He offered fair and equitable solutions during negotiations. He was also reasonably priced for a Franklin attorney. He will tell you what he thinks it will cost and doesn't nickel and dime you every time you have a question. I would highly recommend him for any of your legal needs.

This chapter in my life has finally come to a close. It started out in tragedy and ended with…read morestrategy. The tragic was brought on by an auto accident and the strategic was the faith that I put in Griffith Law to represent and protect my interests. The road to physical and fiscal recovery can be a long one. In my case no truer words are written. It can be an arduous journey befallen with numerous pitfalls and twists. Each path leading seamlessly into oblivion. One cannot go it alone. The hope is that through the distance of time all paths will eventually lead to a sunny outcome. That outcome cannot be left to chance. That outcome must NOT be left to chance. Be wise with your decision on whom you allow to represent you. I made the right decision. I chose Griffith Law to protect my best interests. Their experience and expertise in my injury case was exceptional. (I know, a lot of ex's in that last line, but if the shoe fits, you gotta wear it). Upon first meeting, my attorney Josh, walked me through what to expect and how things work. I mentioned that time wasn't a factor for me, and he seemed to appreciate that. Basically I wanted him to know that I wouldn't be badgering him throughout the process. I was on his time line not mine. For my piece of mind, this was the right avenue in which to travel. As the wheels of justice slowly turned, I knew thoroughness was being conducted. That attention to detail manifested into a fair and equitable outcome. During that process I was not lacking in case status communication, nor was I left doubting whether my choice of Law Firm was the right one. Kristen and Audrey kept me well informed as to case status, and gave me all the pertinent information needed for my well being and to assist in the case preparation. My choice was the right one, as yours will be too. Alex J is a credible witness to that affect. Quick Tip: Be ready to be dazzled with friendliness. You'll be comforted by Griffiths sincere compassion. Good luck, be patient, and reap the reward of highly competent talent.

I was told this lawyer was one of the toughest around. I hired him for my divorce. Biggest mistake…read moreof my life! Even bigger mistake than the marriage that I was seeking to get out of. This man was nothing short of verbally, mentally, and emotionally abusive. My interactions with him, prior to paying his retainer fee, were nothing more than him over exaggerating his record in the court room, and relationships with the judges. Once he got his money, he was very hard to get ahold of, and refused to help in an emergency situation, which involved an order that affected me and my children horribly. I was out thousands of dollars, and had no legal assistance in a matter that was causing irreversible damage each day. He belittled me, and told me I'd be on "government aid" for the rest of my life. He bullied me into agreeing to things that my ex wanted, that made me very uncomfortable. Once during a $900 mediation session (in which he wasted half the time I was paying for, making fun of past clients with the lawyer he's chosen to mediate), he actually asked the "mediator" to step out of the room. He then used that privacy to tell me to get off my "high horse" and realize that this was my life now. So, after being a stay at home mother for 14 years, to five beautiful children, I was pressured into agreeing to 50/50 custody with a man that was abusive and mostly absentee throughout our marriage. John Schwalb even laughed about how he felt my ex was only seeking this 50/50 arrangement to lower his child support obligation. He told me that I didn't have the money to "make" him fight any harder for me! I was devastated. He threatened that I would take the deal, or "probably lose the kids", even though I had an exemplary history with my children, their teachers, schools, pediatricians, neighbor's kids, etc. My children do not get bathed over at their dads house. They watch Walking Dead and play Grand Theft Auto over there. They eat candy, donuts, chips, and the occasional Papa John's pizza for all their meals over there. He has never trimmed their nails, helped with homework, or cleaned up anything. Oh well, doesn't matter, right?! John Schwalb got his money for doing NOTHING for me, and my ex only has to pay $600/month for FIVE children. That's the important part. No one gave one damn about doing what was right for children. It was all about money and greed the entire time. If you are stuck on the fence with choosing a lawyer, I'd recommend hiring your left shoe, before I'd pick this narcissist.
