Above Excellent Attorney

We need attorneys like Kyle Mothershead who listens, gathers all information, asks the right questions, set plans of action, and execute them. Kyle was recommended to me by my brother in Charleston, South Carolina (This is to let everyone know, he is not only known in Nashville, TN as a great attorn...ey but in other states as well). After being physically assaulted, I was again assaulted mentally by the same person, this time the justice system was used to do it. How can this happen in our system of justice. Believe me it can and did happen. Our system does not have immediate checks; therefore some actions are taken without asking questions, while others are delayed. Thank God for Kyle Mothershead, someone who knows the legal system was able to get to the facts, and not let my right be taken from me. Thank you for being a great attorney... Excellent Work.

Best lawyer

I don’t normally write reviews but I am really thankful with Mr. Mothershead and I want to recommend him because he is an excellent lawyer. He replies to you right away, works with you on flat payment, honest and doesn’t just take the easy cases. I called and meet with different attorneys many who h...ave many years of experience, great reviews on AVVO, who didn’t want to take my brother's case because it was very complex. I called Mr. Mothershead he was able to meet with me right away, he worked with me with flat fee and was honest about possible outcome. He was caring willing to help. He is one of the only lawyers in Nashville who has both knowledge of criminal and immigration laws. With his help all the criminal charges were taken off and my brother has clean criminal record. My brother's case was a drug related. Thank you Mr. Mothershead.

Kyle Mothershead delivers results

After a rather disturbing chain of personal events, I found myself facing a serious criminal charge. Needless to say I was overwhelmed with fear. A friend recommended that I contact Kyle for legal counsel. During our first meeting Kyle took the time necessary to understand me and the details of my c...ase. His personable, honest communication style gave me comfort during one of the most distressing experiences of my life. He made himself readily available for questions and concerns proceeding my trial date. Kyle created and executed a clear, concise plan of action that ultimately resulted in a much appreciated and celebrated outcome. I would highly recommend Kyle to anyone in need of a strong, results driven attorney.

I was stressing over my legal matter - Kyle put me at ease, and got the outcome I wanted.

Had a legal issue 2012, and was going through the motions of finding a lawyer who would have my best interests at heart. After doing a little research I came upon Kyle. After 10 years as a public defender in Nashville, before opening his own practice, and maintaining great relationships with judges -... I knew this was my guy. Gave him a call, and he scheduled to sit down with me personally. I was not rushed, and he went over what my best options were in full transparency. Made the whole process stress free. He is also a very personable person, and quite funny. If I ever have any legal matters, I will definitely get back in touch with him. He is versed in all types of law, so he's a wealth of information to whatever you may be inquiring about. Really great Lawyer.
