SHE'S THE BEST!!.. Long review but please read..

After MULTIPLE previous firms and attorney's, I was finally placed with Ms. Kayla Upchurch. I recommend Kayla Upchurch 100%. The reasons... 1. She respects the fact that TIME IS MONEY. Other attorney's get on the phone and fully realize that the client is paying them, their firm, whatever, and c...onveniently use this opportunity to weave into the relevant situation(yours), convo about other cases of theirs, how they compare, what was the outcome etc... Kayla was efficient, to-the point, and after hanging up she actually did what she said. 2. Kayla Upchurch is passionate about her profession and operates with a "WIN" mindset. Kayla has all the KNOWLEDGE and KNOWLEDGE and "KNOW HOW" of a senior and seasoned attorney, without the bravado and mechanical nature of an elder attorney. 3. She COMMUNICATES WELL. With previous attorneys, BEFORE Kayla, months would go by w/o updates, status of case etc. but firms never missed sending out bills. I would read the charges and think, "I should probably have been told about this", lol. With previous "senior" attorneys, I felt like the bills gave better case updates than the attorney. With Ms. Upchurch, I never received a bill I didn't understand. She communicated case status regularly, so I always knew where I was in the case and bills MATCHED. 4. She is down-to-earth and people oriented. I felt that she was truly invested in achieving the best outcome for myself and my child. Should I ever need representation for anything related to child custody, visitation etc, I would follow Kayla Upchurch to any Law Firm she is with. She is an AMAZING attorney, and I wish her continued success in a career she is meant for!!

TPO and child custody

Kayla UpChurch is by far one of the best attorneys that you ever have work for you. She definitely cares about her clients. And wants what is best for them. She has helped me out a lot and I wouldn’t be where I am in my case. You will be very happy with the outcome of Kayla and her team..

Rockstar!

I am COMPLETELY satisfied!!! I was told that Kayla Upchurch was a "Rockstar" and she did not disappoint! I had a simple uncontested divorce that quickly became contested and as UNPRECEDENTED as COVID 19! My ex wife made this process EXTREMELY difficult. My team was patient, professional and considera...te of my needs as well as concerns. I got everything that I wanted! Mission accomplished! Thank you SO much!!! Ask for "The Rockstar"! You wont be disappointed! --Paul W.

Bold and Fierce!

Kayla was our attorney in a particularly litigious child custody/divorce case. She is bold and fierce but at the same time sweet and respectful! The way she honors her client and becomes a voice they never had is awe inspiring. Seeing her in action in the courtroom was worth every cent. Professiona...l, diligent, friendly and knows her stuff! Amazing woman and a force to be reckoned with! What a super star! I highly recommend Ms. Upchurch if you are looking for an attorney who specializes in child custody, divorce, and protective orders.
