excellent lawyer

I faced a simple assault charge last year, and felt desperate since I'm a immigrant and would like to apply for citizenship in future. I consulted a couple of lawyers before Mr. Mothershead, and was told my best choice was plea bargin. It is definitely unacceptable because I was the victim of that ar...gue and that charge would ruin my life and my career. Everything started being better after I found Mr. Mothershead's profile on avvo. I sent him a message about my situation at night, he replyed in early morning and scheduled to meet me the next day. I was relieved immediately and hired him after that meeting. He believed in me, understood my immigrant situation, would like to help me fight against that charge, and educated me the whole process. Mr. Mothershead communicated effectively with district attorney, kept me posted, answered my question quickly and throughly, prepared me for court day, and finally got my case disputed! And he even got a judge order right after case disputed and got my case expunged within two weeks. The whole process is so smooth! I'm enjoying everyday now and even having a new baby joining in my family. I counldn't have done it without Mr. Mothershead. I hope none of my friends would have the legal situation as I was, but I would recommend him without any hesitation if anyone needs legal help.

I remember this case well. We were prepared to go to trial and fight for this client's innocence, but then the DA's Office made an offer to resolve the case through an agreement that did not involve a guilty plea and would not put anything on his record. This was essential for his immigration status and his career, and it was nice for him to have the certainty of not having to "roll the dice" with a trial; so he accepted the offer. We then got the case dismissed and expunged so that it would have no negative impact on his future. I appreciate the kind review, and am thrilled to hear that he and his family are doing well.

CIVIL RIGHTS VIOLATION

Kyle was the only one who responded although I sent inquiries to several lawyers. Just responding sometimes mean a lot which classes him above the others. Kyle was sympathetic to my situation and expressed his sorrow however I still am without answers on how to proceed. I don't know if my situation w...as out of his field or if it presented a conflict of interest with his clients but I am still appreciative of his response. I would recommend him for someone who has an issue in his expertise of study. Thanks again Kyle.

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.

Awesome Attorney

I used this site to find an attorney. After reading reviews, I responded to Kyle's profile. Within a couple hours I received an email from him. I was a nervous wreck, having received a misdemeanor citation that was potentially very damaging to me. Kyle went above and beyond what was expected in e...very aspect of handling my case. He instantly came up with creative solutions to the timely resolution of the charge. He kept me informed at every step of the way. I cannot imagine that any attorney would have handled this any more efficiently than Kyle. And he actually seemed to care about what was happening to me personally. He is highly recommended.

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.
