Worst lawyer in Clarksville

The front desk and staff are the worst. Ryan will continue to avoid you. It's sad that this once good law firm is now just another place that feeds off the scraps of great law firms. Soldiers and spouses beware. Get anyone but this law firm to handle your case

Worst office to answer

They screen calls, the paralegal and front desk clerk are by far the most unprofessional two people I have met. An I used Ryan McFarland personally 2 years ago as my attorney. Unless you're an attorney yourself they try to belittle and speak down to you. After over 2 months of emails and sending pape...rwork that needs to be signed per a final divorce degree they will string you along and make no attempts to remedy the situation. If you're a woman and love having another woman treat you like a child this is the best place for you to go. If not I wouldn't bother looking one second more into this company for any type of fast legal process.

Doesn’t follow through or stand by his words

I fully entrusted Ryan McFarland. He stated to me when I first retained him, “I will see you through this to the end”. That provided me with so much hope and encouragement then. In my experience with this attorney and his office, is more often than not there are a LOT of communication break downs. Be...ing left in the dark not knowing and uncertain of things. I would ask questions and sometimes they would go unanswered. The last communication breakdown resulted in, Ryan McFarland, resigning from my case. This happened without warning, I was lead to believe I was going in for an appointment to discuss the process and start the preparations for the divorce trial with children and domestic abuse involved. To my surprise, I get there, to be turned away. Now, during the holidays having to pay a whole new retainer fee for a new attorney to pick up where someone else left off. I personally, only want someone to represent me that stands true to their word and actually follows through. From my experience, if you’re looking to hire someone that is dedicated, has great communication skills, also has assistants and paralegals that have excellent communication skills and that will actually see you through the end of your case. Ryan McFarland isn’t the attorney to hire.

If you need an attorney Mr. Mcfarland is the best man for the job. Domestic assault, divorce, alimony,

Ryan McFarland is by far the best attorney I have ever had. I will never consult with any other attorney again! Ryan is compassionate about his clients cases. He goes in with the confidence needed to set your mind at ease so you feel comfortable in court has your case is being heard. He is always the...re to answer your concerns and sets your mind at ease. He will make sure that the truth of the case is heard and will go above and beyond what most attorneys do in order to get your needs taken care of. My cases was messy and a bit challenging, however, I never doubted Mr. McFarland's abilities!

I recommend Ryan McFarland to anyone!

Ryan McFarland is a compassionate, understanding, patient, determined person and he really goes above and beyond for his clients. He is honest and direct, and fights for what is right! Ryan has helped me with a divorce, alimony, child custody/visitation, child support. My case has been very complex, ...frustrating and time consuming. I am thankful beyond words for his help, encouragement, guidance and great advice. And I will never be able express how grateful I am, for his help throughout this whole process of me transitioning from a victim to a survivor of domestic abuse. I couldn’t have asked for a better lawyer! Ryan McFarland is hands down one of the best! Thank you so much!
