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

Good example I sent a email asking for them to call me they said they would in the afternoon well I waited and they never called, they called the next day and it wasn't even the lawyer it was the assistant and when I questioned it she told me that the lawyer just had her cal instead even though in the email I said I had a few questions which the assistant can not answer. The whole place is a joke I was paying one of the top lawyers for nothing takes days to reply never answer phones or calls back I was sent to jail because information was not related to me I HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND THEM FOR ANYTHING.

It was really ridiculous what I was charged for the simple legal procedure that I was doing.

I am so glad another attorney returned my phone call immediately after hanging up with Julia today…read more I am not sure what this woman's issue is, but I was calling for a consultation and hung up in tears and feeling helpless. I'm a single mom due to rape and was looking for help getting my daughter a passport without notifying her father (who has never met her). This woman made me feel like I was exposing myself on a street corner, the way she spoke to me. Honestly, the lack of professionalism and sensitivity to the situation is absolutely unacceptable, especially in her field of work. Outside of the fact that Julia clearly needs some sensitivity and bias training, she was unknowledgeable in the laws she was aggressively "advising" me on. She literally went as far as telling me I was "endangering my child" by seeking a passport, and that there was no way around our issue. My new attorney already has the correct form emailed to me to solve our problem. Do not let this woman talk down to you. Spend your money elsewhere. I will be filing complaints everywhere I can after this conversation. No one should have to feel this way after consulting with an attorney.

Bradley M Carter - The Carter Law Firm & Associates

There's no one else I'd want in my corner. Period…read more Mr. Bradley Carter is an absolute professional and a straight shooter in every sense. From day one, he operated with integrity, clarity, and a genuine commitment to my case. He didn't just navigate the legal system -- he walked with me through some of the most emotional and difficult moments of my life with wisdom, patience, and strength. Because of Brad's due diligence, strategic mind, and unwavering focus, our case was settled efficiently, fairly, and without unnecessary delays or drama. His ability to listen, lead, and speak with both compassion and conviction made all the difference. He fought for what was right -- not just what was easy -- and never lost sight of the bigger picture. If you're looking for someone who truly has your back, who knows the law but also cares about people, stop your search. Brad is your guy. I'm beyond grateful and would recommend him to anyone needing representation that's built on excellence, grit, and heart.

I met with numerous highly reputable attorneys prior to selecting Brad and he was the only one who projected confidence in navigating these issues to a successful outcome, and he delivered! He successfully overcame my spouse's motion to dismiss the case and kept it in Tennessee where it belongs. His superior knowledge of Tennessee law, craftsmanship of arguments and the familiarity with the judicial bench in Williamson County made him the best advocate I could have hoped for. What's more, he did all of this within a *very* reasonable budget considering the complexity of the circumstances. His invoices were always accurate and, importantly, lacked the fluff/padding sometimes seen with other attorneys. Brad is an attorney of high moral character who genuinely cares & plans for the well-being of his clients many years into the future. He can sense and see around judicial corners that you never even knew existed. He has truly been a rock through a very turbulent time. I highly recommend that you meet with Brad. If he says he can win your case, he WILL deliver.

I would not recommend working with Ms. Amonette. I cannot adequately express my disappointment…read morewith Ms. Amonette as an attorney. She was unreliable, extremely slow at responding, and at some points would completely ignore my e-mails even after several attempts to outreach. As an attorney with a $400/hr rate I found this completely unacceptable and frankly pathetic. She is nothing but kind and warm when accepting your initial $6000 retainer but after that her communication and everything else goes downhill. Whenever she did respond to my outreach she made sure to charge $40-100 for every little quick response she sent even though no traction was being made on my case. My ex and I decided to go to a neutral mediator who helped us out because we were so tired of paying money to lawyers to not feel like we were getting anywhere. After working with a mediator and getting all of our affairs buttoned up (parenting plan, child support, assets) signed sealed and delivered to her she still did absolutely nothing to move the case forward. I even received a call from the court in my county threatening to close the divorce case because they had been reaching out to Ms. Amonette and had not heard anything back from her despite the fact that she had all of the documents that we had to get prepared with the mediator in her possession for over 2 weeks. I finally made the decision to fire Ms. Amonette as I was done with the lack of communication and progress. When I sent the email terminating her services for once in my experience with her her response was prompt and I received the remainder of my retainer back early the next week. I used just a small portion of that retainer to hire a flat rate divorce attorney who had gotten the divorce finalized in less than 2 weeks of receiving the docs that my ex and I had already signed off on. I was furious that she had made it seem like there was so much left to do and I am confident that she would have dragged everything on to deplete my retainer for months. I believe that she is the quintessential money hungry lawyer and that her bread and butter are the big money cases and if you are a regular upper middle class client she will push you to the absolute bottom of the priority list. The mediator that I worked with told me that she just got another client of Ms. Amonette's who came to her just as frustrated as I did with the lack of communication and progress. I usually don't write reviews but I felt a deep obligation to women, especially moms who are thinking of hiring Ms. Amonette. When you are already trying to struggle to figure out what to do in the midst of all of the turmoil that divorce brings, the last thing you need is a divorce attorney like Kristen who will not only leave you confused about the process but will leave you penniless if she has the chance. If you're rich and just need someone to bulldog your ex you'll likely be fine, everybody else RUN.

While not low cost or inxpensive, Kristen Amonette got me the results I was desperately needing. It is true, you get what you pay for....

Her attention to detail was impeccable at a time when my entire world felt like it was completely scrambled. Hiring Mrs. Amonette was the best decision I made and my life has been back to the fast track of success ever since.
