Excellent

I cannot thank Meriwether and Tharp’s attorney Kayla Upchurch enough for her guidance through the divorce process. She held my hand through the whole ordeal and even helped keep my costs down. Once the divorce decree was finalized, the coronavirus caused serious issues with our child custody arrangem...ents. I again retained Kayla to help me in a custody battle during covid. Life was already hard enough, she helped me navigate through a very uncertain time when basically the world was shut down. Her professionalism, quick response time and easy demeanor gave me the tools, advice and compassion I needed to get myself and my daughter to the other side of divorce. Again, I cannot thank her and the entire team enough for their services. I highly recommend the firm and Kayla for any of your legal divorce matters.

Kayla Upchurch - A phenomenal divorce attorney

I'm not sure where to begin, but I cannot say enough about attorney, Kayla Upchurch. She is truly a phenomenal attorney! I entered the divorce arena weary and worn after an extremely difficult marriage. However, due to her zeal for helping others, calm demeanor, and prowess for navigating the legal ...system, she helped me navigate the murky waters of my divorce. Countless times, I was overwhelmed with anxiety because my "opponent" was financially stable and street savvy, yet I was a stay-at-home mother with limited resources. Nevertheless, Ms. Upchurch explained the strengths of my case and helped me regain my dignity and peace of mind. If you're looking for a highly competent, yet personable divorce attorney, look no further. Ms. Upchurch is the perfect balance of passion, compassion and practicality. Her level of expertise, professionalism and responsiveness is second to none. Though no one wants to go through a divorce, if you must, I highly recommend Ms. Kayla Upchurch.

More than satisfied with her representation.

Divorce and custody issues are extremely difficult and undesirable, but when it became unavoidable, I was so relieved to have a team at Meriwether & Tharp, LLC represent me and the interests of my children. I settled on this firm partly because I was impressed with just how thoroughly they educate re...aders through their website, and provide resources online that other firms would charge for. I found that I had made an excellent choice. When my ex-husband was served with the divorce papers, he immediately promised to make the process a "long, drawn out, nasty battle", and he lived up to it. However, Kayla Upchurch and my team were very professional, communicative, supportive and validating the entire time. Taking the "high road" was always my teams response to antagonism and lack of cooperation from the other side, while never diminishing the strength of my representation. I knew what to expect from my team during the process, which was important to me at a time in my life when everything else was uncertain. Communication and responses were prompt, usually the same day or the next day, and the case was settled in mediation on 7.31.2020, about two months shy of what would have been 21 years of marriage. I'm happy with the terms of the settlement, and even happier to close this chapter my life and my children's lives, and move on. I do not wish the circumstances leading up to divorce, or divorce on anyone, but if that becomes the reality you are dealt, I highly recommend Meriwether & Tharp, LLC.
