Cherie Lane Cash-Kristinus

One day 12 yrs ago, while at work, I was visited by a Sheriff, who was handing me filed papers for divorce, eviction notice ( out of the home I bought ), and IOY papers signed by a judge saying I had to pay my soon to be ex 8K a month. Someone recommended Cherie to me and she went to battle for me.... She worked on my case for a year and helped me get a decent settlement. More importantly, she helped me get my kids for a third of the year while my ex fought to see I got the minimum. Two more times over the next decade my ex brought me to court always wanting more money and for me to have less time with my kids. And again recently as this past year Cherie went to battle for me. Just like the previous outcomes, this most recent court stint went my way. Cherie saw to it that I was well represented in my case. Cherie was well prepared and had a great game plan going into court. I am pleased with the outcome. And when my ex decides in a year to go through it all again I will call Cherie. And she will be there for me. Each time I’ve needed her over all this time she has come through for me. No reason to call anyone else. She has yours and your kids best interests in mind.

when i hire her she said she was going to fight my case and she had everything under control but she did not . On the court day she got almost 2 hours late. She took my money for doing nothing !!! The communication was horrible! she was always in a hurry and have something going on her personal life ...and that was the excuse not to talk about my case. she has no heart when she takes the money.

She doesn’t return emails, texts. Then you have to call her but she charges $30 for every 15 min. She explains the process half way. I had to ask her to withdraw from my case. She took my money and didn’t accomplished a thing. It took her about six months to schedule court and then it was just to sch...edule another court date. After that I received a bill. I was desperate for help and she didn’t do a thing for me.

She was hired and paid $2500 in advance of our court date to represent me for child support and a few minor issues with my case, nothing too serious. To my shock and surprise, she showed up to court unprepared to perform and postponed the hearing. I kept my cool as she explained that she would get ...the child support modified and talk to the judge concerning other issues. That was the last I heard from her. She moved out of her office without any notification and did not answer my texts, emails, or calls. The next time I saw her was in The Daily Journal for felony DUI with her minor kids in the car. I filed to have her removed as my attorney and represent myself. She never showed up to the hearings and finally responded to asking me to not remove her as my attorney. She is a compulsive liar, like no other. I filed a complaint with her the Tennessee Bar Association for her behavior. She was supposed to return my money and the file of my case. I have not received either one. This is just a summary. To this day, my child support is messed up. I have my daughter for 122 days out of the year, but pay child support as if I only have her for four days. Do not use her.

When we went to court and had discussed the child support matters she never drafted any documents to send to me nor the documents to be signed by the judge. After several months went by and I could not get her on her cell phone, I called her office, then in Murfreesboro only to be told she no longer ...works there. I have paid Cherie several thousands of dollars, in the past only to have my court dates moved for her reasons, The last time I paid her a retainer she took the money fast and then I never heard from her again.
