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.

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!!

Change to PPP

I hired Joshua Lindsay to handle a change to my divorce’s permanent parenting plan. His professionalism and competency helped negotiate a positive result from a difficult situation. His ability to listen, communicate, and give realistic advice helped me trust the process.

Grateful Father of three young girls...

Divorce was new to me. As a father seeking custody of his three young girls, I didn’t know what to expect. I didn’t know where to turn. All I knew is that I had children that were at risk and I needed help. Fortunately, I was given Joshua’s name by someone I trusted deeply, and from the very first... phone call it was clear I’d be in good hands with Joshua. His attentiveness, and attention to detail always made me feel like I was his only client. If I had a question or needed to talk and reached out, he was ALWAYS there for me. On average, his response time could be measured not in days or even hours but in MINUTES. Which is exactly what you want and need during such trying times. Quick, Clear, and Concise feedback. Always. At each step of the way, Joshua did an exceptional job of laying out each option available, and how each one could impact me as the father to my 3 young girls. His experience gave him the ability to keep me from being surprised along the way. He was great at managing my expectations throughout the process. An absolute necessity for anyone hoping to come out the other side in one piece. Given the stakes at hand, and long-term implications, I needed the best and I am 100% certain I had that in Joshua. I am forever grateful for the wonderful support and counsel I received from Joshua and all that he was able to do for me and my girls. He is the best. Period.

I'm moving forward thanks to Joshua.

Joshua was particularly adept at meeting my needs as a client. There were days when that just meant listening and days when that meant providing strategic legal advice. I was able to file for divorce and work through the collaborative process in four months with professionals that helped us keep ...our children the top priority, thanks to Joshua. This has been a very sad and difficult process for me with very young children and Joshua managed to help me purchase a house before the divorce was final as well as worked to negotiate a parenting plan and asset distribution that met my needs as a now single working mother. He kept me above the minutia and trivial arguments that slow the process down and I feel so very fortunate to have met him. Joshua told me that there is no winner in a divorce, that you can only win by moving forward - I'm able to move forward thanks to him.
