Cherie Lane Cash-Kristinus

Cherie Cash Kristinus walked beside me through the most difficult and painful chapter of my life. This wasn’t just a legal case—it was my life, my child, my future—and Cherie understood that from day one. For over a year and a half, I faced emotional highs and lows, moments of fear and frustration, b...ut through it all, Cherie remained steady, committed, and truly in my corner. There were times I was exhausted, discouraged, and felt like giving up—but Cherie didn’t. She never wavered. She showed up every time it mattered, armed with knowledge, passion, and a fierce dedication to justice. She fought for me like it was personal, and that’s something I’ll never forget. What touched me most is that Cherie is not just a brilliant attorney—she’s a mother too. She understood my heartache, my fears, and my urgency in a way only another mom could. And somehow, even while managing her own full life, she still gave everything she could to help me protect mine. If you’re going through something that feels unbearable, and you need someone who truly cares, who will stand strong when you can’t—call Cherie. She gave me hope when I had none left, and I’ll forever be grateful to her for that!

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 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.

I hired her to take work on a child support case and she started telling me everything she could do for me and it would be took care of in no time. I'm currently now going on 2 1/2 yrs and not the first thing has been done. Currently I call about twice a month trying to find out a status on my case a...nd she's either never in the office or unavailable at the time and her assistant says she will have her call me back but she never calls. I'm not very happy with her at all considering she was quick to take a few thousand dollars and not do anything in return. The one time I do get a response from her she informs me were waiting on my exes lawyer but there has to be a time limit they have to give a response. I would not recommend her to anyone for anything. Don't waste your money with her because you will never get anything in return.
