Not timely

If you got a week to wait for any type of response in back-and-forth communication with her, she your girl. If you're looking to be treated with any level of respect in regards to timely communication, I would look elsewhere

MARISSA WALTERS - DIVORCE COUNSEL AND PARTNER

The divorce process has been a new and stressful experience for me, as it also involves my children. I did my due diligence, as a first time candidate, and interviewed 3-4 attorneys to familiarize myself with the process, understand the expectations and see which attorney best met my expectations on... knowledge, partnership and engagement. After meeting and speaking with Marissa on a couple of introductory/exploratory meetings, I was convinced that she will be a great lead and I can confidently state that she has been that and more. Marissa has been a sounding board and strong proponent of me throughout the process and her passion/compassion and knowledge has been on full display. I do highly recommend anyone going through such an unfortunate and stressful time to find the right legal partner - Marissa is that person!

Professional, Assertive, Knowledgeable, Strategic, and Compassionate. All Around Great Attorney.

After learning that my ex-wife had filed for divorce I began searching for an attorney to represent me. I spoke with multiple attorneys in the Franklin, TN area, and then I came across Marissa. During our consultation Marissa's knowledge of case law and her motivation to provide her clients the best ...possible outcome became obvious. After the consultation I retained Marissa and she gave me some very good insight as to what was going to happen each step of the way. Marissa was very professional and responsive. If something came up and I needed to speak with her I would always get a timely response. This divorce was a very stressful event for me and Marissa showed compassion and kindness throughout the whole process. Marissa cares about her client's well-being and she will fight to protect them. She is a very straightforward and truthful person. Marissa guided me every step of the way and gave me a realistic idea of what to expect. She would always go the extra mile when she was working on my case. Marissa was very strategic in the way she handled my case and the result was direct reflection of it. In the end, all of Marissa's hard work paid off with me receiving a great outcome that was very favorable on my behalf. Marissa is an outstanding attorney and I would recommend her to anyone.

Expert and responsive help with Co-Conservatorship

First of all, I got a response in less than 15 minutes from when I first tried to contact Marissa. We had initially explored the process with another attorney, who had the experience but for whatever reason took a week or more to answer the simplest question. Marissa and her staff were quick to answe...r questions and appropriately acknowledged they had received some information and set our expectations for what to expect next and when. It was obvious that Marissa had helped other families navigate this process before. We are thankful that we found her and would not hesitate to recommend Marissa to others or to work with her again.

"I am a fellow attorney of Marissa's. She has helped me on several matters drafting pleadings and trial memoranda for complicated cases. Her writing skills are excellent and such are very important in the practice of law as the judges review prior to court proceedings. Often times, cases are won upon the pleadings, which gives Marissa an advantage not all lawyers possess. I endorse Marissa!"
