Tara Hawley Carter

I needed some help with a small estate affidavit after my father passed. I live out of the state of Tennessee making it very difficult to get straight answers from anyone and eventually finding that a couple lawyers were trying to nickel and dime me - starting with one price and then coming back with... another. Then I found Tara. She was the answer to my prayers: upfront, informative, confident, and most importantly, honest. She quoted me a flat fee for the work and filing fees for probate court, she constantly kept me informed with paperwork updates and the like. She was empathic to the fact that I was dealing with a stressful situation. The human element of the law is hard to find sometimes. I really appreciated that coming from Tara. She's got a great sense of humor, too, which is usually important in times like these. She takes her work very seriously. She also - after no longer being her client - answered my emails full of questions and met with me to go over things in person once I'd gotten into town. I thought she was great and I feel so lucky to have found her. I'd definitely recommend Tara.

My case is still pending. My life partner received poor care in a facility and the errors made in his treatment resulted in his death. I hired The Higgins Firm and have only positive things to say. With the estate involved and the fact that my partner and I were not legally married, Tara has gone... above and beyond to assist me with everything. Having Tara and the other staff at The Higgins Firm have eased my mind and taken the burden from me.

When my father passed away, our family wasn't prepared to handle the legal issues that followed. Luckily we found Tara! She was able to talk us through what needed to be done and reassured us that she would work as hard as she could to meet our goals. Tara was great about keeping us informed about ev...erything she did and we appreciated how easy she made it for us during such a difficult time. Our family is forever grateful to Tara for all of the hard work she put into helping us sort out all of the legal problems that surrounded my father's death. Our family will no doubt continue to use Tara for any other probate or estate issues that we might face in the future!

Tara was not only concise and attentive to explain my legal concerns, she was actually concerned about me and I never felt like I was just another number like with some attorneys. She went out of her way to explain and direct me when I was unsure about which direction to go and was a true and truste...d counsel in a time of uncertainty. If you are looking for a lawyer who is both knowledgeable and compassionate I cannot recommend Tara enough. She made sure my legal proceeding was as smooth as it could possibly be and even though there were some anxious moments I believe my experience would have been much more stressful if I had not been lucky enough to have had her representing me. Thanks again for all your efforts Tara I would gladly recommend you to all my close friends and family
