Kayla Lee Upchurch

After being involved in a very long divorce (4+ year process) and multiple law firms, I found Meriwether and Tharpe. Though it took some time getting opposing counsel and now ex wife off of dead zero, things finally began to move forward with my legal team, headed by Dorothy Sachs and exceptionally s...upported by Diane Lederman and eventually Nechune Belyeu. As the days began to run together and information overload began to take its toll, a shining light, by the name of Kayla Upchurch, came blasting onto the scene. With only a few days to essentially catch-up on a multiple year process, before trial was to begin, she was able to shine light on key facts and circumstances that no one else had caught, maybe because we were all just too inundated with information and we were all so deep into it or maybe because she is just that good. I tend to believe the latter. If that were the only contribution she made, it would have been enough, but it didn’t stop there. While everyone else was trying their best to explain to a panicking, angry, emotionally and mentally drained man what was what, why things had to be done in a certain way or what really mattered versus what didn’t, I just wasn’t getting it. Then, Kayla Upchurch stepped in. Kayla was able to connect with me on a much more personal level, a real life level. Simply stated, she explained things in a way I could comprehend. She was able to talk me down, when I felt broken and at my most defeated point. Someone once said, there are no winners or losers in a divorce case, and that may be true. However, it can help tremendously if you go in properly armed and feel 100% backed and supported by your team. Not taking anything away from the other members of my legal team, and I pray I’m never in this position again, but I would not dare go into a battle like this again, without Kayla Upchurch in my corner. Kayla, thank you for all you did, before, during and have continued to do after trial, to help me find understanding and peace of mind. Thank you for being strong, resilient and honest with me. Thank you for making me feel like a had my best friend watching my back. Thank you, Kayla…MY friend.
