Trust

This is the second time I have have used Will over the last ten years. 10 years ago I was faced with a nightmare of a divorce and Will guided me though a very complicated settlement. I was devastated and Will was patient and understanding. Recently a change in circumstances affected my divorce cont...ract. Will effectively amended the contract to make sure my best interest was met. I highly recommend him for any services involving Family Law.

A Great Family Law Attorney When The Time Is Right

I am writing this letter to recommend Will Medlin as a family law attorney. As a father of two teen boys and a small business owner, I could no longer remain in a marriage that had taken its toll on my sons and me. Will was recommended to me as an attorney who uses intelligence and reason to prote...ct the rights of those he represents. As this was my first marriage, I was quite nervous and ashamed to be in this situation. My marriage failed and now I had to share all kinds of personal information with a stranger. These feelings didn’t last long. Will is a kind, no-nonsense attorney that is detailed in his fact finding, organized in his communication and focused on the big picture. He provides reasoned guidance and will not hesitate to “shoot straight” with a client that gets caught up in the emotions of the battle. Will has a calm demeanor, but he knows how to deal with an opposing attorney who uses fear and “pit bull” tactics to sway a mediator. As with any negotiation, nobody walks away from the table 100% happy. Will pulls from his experience and resources to help his clients understand when the time is right to accept an offer. Going through a divorce is one of the toughest choices an individual can make. Children, real estate and business investments make this decision exponentially more difficult and stressful. There are so many more considerations that only an extremely talented attorney can see. Will Medlin is this attorney. He resolved my separation agreement quickly and was one of the few bright spots on a journey I never wanted to take. Will is a great attorney and a wonderful guy. Once you work with him, you will agree.

Responsive, Patient, & Thorough

My case, as most, was complexed and messy. Will was simply amazing. Every turn of event and every time I had any issue he was on top of it and always responded to my every question, issue, etc. even when I know he was not in the office! He was very patient with me and respectful in all aspects. He al...ways prepared me for what I feel was 100% accurate. Many attorney's I have found will tell you what you would "like to hear," however this was never once the case with Will. I am very happy to have chosen Will. The firm was also very accommodating and very easy to work with. If I could give more than 5 stars I certainly would. If you're looking for an honest, fair, and a GREAT attorney, your search should be over.

Comprehensively good

While the situation is never easy, Will Medlin did a fantastic job for me. He was responsive, available, efficient and effective. I would recommend him to anyone.

ABSOLUTELY the BEST!

I've had the pleasure of working with Will and his staff on a case pertaining to my minor son for over two years now. Every step of the way it he has always been competent, communicative, prepared and offered the most profound advice for my benefit. It's not just good enough to hire an attorney t...o represent you, you must hire someone who is competent with the laws in the state your case is being presented, Will is such an attorney. It is in my opinion that if you don't hire Will Medlin to handle your case, you're settling for someone less than you need and deserve to have as your legal counsel.
