I honestly don't even know where to start. I was represented by Kayla Upchurch, Dorthy Sachs, Nechene Belyeu, and Mary Gegen. I had a very difficult contested divorce with relocation and custody issues. I am very pleased with the way things turned out. Things didn't always go my way during the litiga...tion but Kayla and the my legal team were always by my side. Always reassuring me that every thing would work out. Kayla always went above and beyond and is VERY knowledgeable of the law. I know without her by my side I would not have had the successful outcome that I did. My team took on an extremely difficult case and encountered several issues that no one expected and few had ever seen. Kayla worked tirelessly to make sure that the truth was told and presented it perfectly. She stood by every single one of my requests and guided me through the entire lengthy process. Though we did face several difficult challenges along the way Ms. Upchurch her through research and dedicated time to my case provided us the pathway we needed to rise to victory. Not only was she able to defend us from unjust and not true accusations, her calm, reassuring, and empathetic demeanor offered emotional succor to myself and those I care about most. My children and I will be eternally grateful for having such a great legal team by our side. Kayla is a fairly new lawyer but the knowledge she has is amazing and she fights so hard. I know as a lawyer she will only continue to do great things for her clients in her future. She definitely deserves a BIG raise after my case, and I know she will go so far in her career. If I ever have any legal issues in future with custody, she will be the only person I call. Kayla and Dodi thank you SO MUCH for always giving me the strength to keep going everyday, never giving up, and most of all of giving me my life back, the only one I have ever known. I also wanted to say thank you to Helen, one of the receptionists at Meriweather and Tharp- I was going through the most challenging, darkest, difficult times in my life and Helen was always so sweet, kind, caring and helpful. I know I wasn't always one of the most easiest clients you have dealt with, for this I apologize, but thank you for always being sweet and understanding.

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.
