Better now...

I was referred to Usher Family Law PLC and after interviewing several firms, I choose this firm to represent me. Brooke Usher did not disappoint. I can only imagine how difficult her job must be to navigate not only the divorce settlement, but the emotions that her clients go through. I am a very em...otionally consistent and laid back person when it comes to stress and my emotions, but I was definitely out of my element during this divorce. It was like nothing I had experienced. Brook Usher made me feel very comfortable during the process and assured me that what I was experiencing was normal and that I would get through it. She was very thorough at looking at my case and weighing out the options before me. She had great advice and I found her to be very bright, knowledgeable, fair, and genuinely caring. We had a lot of assets and businesses in our estate so there were a lot of moving pieces and it was a difficult settlement. I would like to add that even though we had separate attorneys, my ex-husband and I both walked away feeling like it was a fair settlement. That, I believe, is the sign of a great attorney. I would recommend anyone looking for a great attorney to look to Usher Family Law PLC for help. They will not let you down.

Knowledgable, Available, Respected

As a licensed therapist, I sometimes need to refer my clients to an expert in family law. Brooke is my go-to referral. She is knowledgable, available, and well-respected in the legal community. I've found that unresponsive attorneys who drag the divorce process on and on for months are a major source... of stress to my own clients. Brooke responds to her clients in a very timely manner and does her best to close cases efficiently, while advocating for the best possible outcome for her clients. Everyone I've referred to Brooke has been very pleased.

Proactive, Experienced, Kind

Brooke Usher is an outstanding lawyer. I hired her in a custody case, which she proactively led. Throughout the case I gained valuable knowledge about family law in Tennessee and in general. Brooke is widely connected with mediators and was very supportive in pursuing an out-of-court agreement, which... we reached within the desired timeframe. What outlines her competence is her skill to balance her partiality with a reasonable sense of fairness. She is able to kindly bring perspective into subjects of emotional escalation, without compromising her professionality. I remain a grateful client of hers.
