Good Advocate
Brittany managed my custody matter in Maury County. After a 9 hour trial we were successful in modifying a very contested custody matter. She was attentive, responsive and stood up for me and my children.

Terrible experience
One of the worst experience with a business professional. Full of false promises. Had 8 weeks of no movement on my case, she stated she filed multiple documents on my behalf and had a hearing set.

Replied last April 19, 2024It is disappointing that you feel as if you had a poor experience. The full retainer was not paid in full in this specific matter, and despite this, extensive work was performed on both pending cases. Work performed on a case that turned into a highly contested divorce resulted in legal fees being incurred that far exceeded what was paid to the law office and also exceeded the total retainer fee should it have been paid. Additionally, please be mindful that retainer agreements outline whether a case is flat fee or billed at an hourly rate. Documents were prepared and filed, a court appearance occurred with another court date scheduled. This work was performed timely. Communication was consistent. Invoices were also heavily discounted as a courtesy to the client. We wish you the best of luck in the future.
