Best divorce attorney in Nashville

Joshua was my divorce attorney and my partner throughout the entire divorce process. He is a safe and trusted professional and confidant. We would openly discuss pros and cons, and I would determine the best path forward - usually in agreement with him but sometimes not. He listened to my needs a...nd wishes and developed approaches accordingly. He helped me me take the emotionally charged situation of my husband's infidelity and translate it into how the State of Tenn. marriage, grounds for divorce and marriage dissolution. With Joshua as my attorney, I received a significant, favorable outcome that is helping me on my emotional healing journey.

Best Family Law Attorney in Nashville

Joshua was the best lawyer I could have possible asked for during such a difficult divorce. Joshua explained my options very thoroughly and ran a smooth collaborative process. Joshua always kept me in the loop and would respond to all my questions promptly. He truly was concerned about my children a...nd creating a parenting plan that would fit all our needs. He was truly a leader during our collaborative meetings and got me everything I asked for. I can not recommend Joshua enough.

Ms.

I highly recommend Joshua Lindsey and will use him now for any of my legal advice and needs forever!! Joshua was my attorney handing my divorce, and what was the hardest thing I ever had to navigate in my life was made as peaceful and simple as possible. I felt fully prepared, protected and informed.... Besides his incredible legal skill, he is kind and compassionate. He is highly regarded by the other attorneys involved.

Great advice and counsel

Joshua was a great advisor during my divorce. He clearly explained the collaborative divorce process, always felt 100% invested in my case even though I know he is busy, and was a strong advocate for my needs and my son's. I greatly appreciated that Joshua always kept the conversations professional, ...never reducing it to bashing my now ex-husband. That helped me stick with the task at hand and not let emotions override good decision making. I would absolutely hire Joshua or his firm again.

Best Family Attorney in Middle Tennessee

Joshua is a true "full-service" client advocate. He provides exemplary legal counsel as an inveterate researcher and practitioner of Tennessee family case and statutory law. Importantly, he also cares about the financial, occupational and emotional wellbeing of his clients. Uncommon attention to deta...il, impeccable ethics, untiring work habits, empathetic service and availability are just a few of his hallmarks. Joshua is never too busy or fatigued to answer a question and will often respond to electronic queries within minutes. His friendly demeanor, public speaking and listening prowess and high emotional intelligence ensure that clients always get his best efforts in the courtroom. Clearly, Joshua is mission driven, he is passionately dedicated to providing the highest level of service for people in need of family law guidance. In particular, he has an abiding concern for the welfare of children in relation to Tennessee judicial proceedings. I highly recommend Joshua!!
