You will be taken care of
Kristen represented me through a custody dispute, as I tried to navigate the best possible scenario for my daughter, age 5. We knew some of the things I was fighting for (relocation) was an uphill battle, but she supported me while also giving me realistic assessments of our options. She is well-known with other lawyers for her ability to mediate and had been recommended to me by her peers. I highly recommend her! We had a successful mediation despite some extremely challenging decisions.

She brings peace
I retained Kristen in December of 2021. During our initial meeting she answered every question and I had 3 pages of them. She never made me feel rushed and even asked if I had additional questions. She and her team made me feel important. When dissolving a marriage of 28 years it can be absolutely crushing as we all know. Kristen was always a voice of reason and calm. Things were settled in a timely manner to my benefit. My day in court was a tearful day and Kristen made sure I was calm, cool and collected before she left me. Lots of hugs. I have referred her to several people. Thanks- Susan

Dedicated
A divorce can be one of the most stressful and emotional experiences in life. The pain, disruption and uncertainty will be difficult and take time. It is important to keep focus and get through this difficult time with strong legal guidance. I can assure you, Kristen Amonette did just this. I was most impressed with her communication skills, good judgement and her dedication to my case. She has a calm and empathetic demeanor. I am grateful for her services and I highly recommend Ms. Amonette.

Nashville Disso Queen
My wife and I had spent our 20 year marriage in Nashville and LA. We had substantial assets in both states. I made the mistake of signing a prenup before our marriage. The first attorney I wanted was Laura Wasser the disso queen of LA. I was quickly informed that our divorce would have to take place in Nashville since my wife claimed Tennessee residency so she did not have to pay California state taxes. I called around and Everyone I talked to said Kristen Amonette was the Disso queen of Nashville. It was a complex situation especially with the Prenup. Ultimately, we were able to mediate a settlement that kept my wife out of the news and my prenup abandoned. Ms. Amonette was not cheap, but in the end worth every penny. I am beyond grateful.

Amazing Family Law Attorney
Divorce is such a terrifying emotional roller coaster and Kristen helped get me through the trenches of it. From day one, the most scary day of all, her sweet and always professional office manager, listened to me cry out what I needed someone's professional assistance with. Thankfully Kristen was able to get me in same day to meet with her. She informed me on the laws of our county/state, what my legal rights are, and most of all treated me like I was human being and not just some other case. Kristen is very detailed, organized and knows the law inside and out. Unfortunately the other side of my divorce cost both sides more money and dragged it out longer than it should have, due to the attorney he hired. It pays to have someone on your side that knows family law inside and out and has great experience. I couldn't have gone through all of it without Kristen in my corner. I would recommend Kristen to anyone needing legal assistance through a divorce, especially with children.

Father of 3 girls
Divorce is not easy, emotionally or financially, but in many cases, it is the necessary means to the end of an unsustainable situation. Looking back, as a father, seeking custody of three young girls, 6 and under, I can remember thinking just how much the odds seemed to be against me. Yet, here I am, one year after my divorce was settled (thru trial) with zero regrets, as I was awarded everything I was seeking. When I share my story with those closest to me, and the results, the reaction is typically the same. What? How?!? And, that answer is quite simple. Kristen. Her support leading up to and during my trial was exceptional. There was no wasted effort, or time, on my part. She quickly could zero in on the matters that needed attention and eliminate those that weren't as important to the ultimate goal. This is not a small point, many attorneys could have taken advantage of my situation, and the opportunity for endless "billable" hours, but not once did I feel that was the case with Kristen. When it did come to trial, her knowledge of the law and attention/retention of the details of my case allowed her to handle, seemingly effortlessly, each and every curveball thrown her way. If you take nothing else away from my comments, single most important piece of advice I can offer is, seek out an attorney you can trust, absolutely. One that will do everything in their power to seek resolution as quickly and painlessly as our system will allow. However, most importantly, if you're faced with unreasonable opposition, and settlement isn't an option, you need someone capable of successfully seeing all aspects of your case thru to the end, even if that means going to trial. For this, you won't find better counsel then Kristen.

Exceptional Lawyer & Exceptional Service
Kristen handled my divorce. From our very first meeting, I knew she would help guide and support me through the difficult process. She was my advocate from start to finish. She is smart, fair, strategic, and she does what she says she is going to do. She helped me to understand my options in a very transparent and supportive manner. She knows divorce law inside and out and she taught me about the law and process as well. She helped me in many ways outside of our legal relationship as well. She made herself available to me and was always willing to lend an ear and share her perspective. The financial result of my divorce was far better than it could have been under TN divorce law and that is because of Kristen's work and guidance. She guided me through the process in a manner that felt both like my friend and lawyer, and she helped me manage the emotional aspect of divorce. I always had total confidence and trust in working with her.

Excellent attentive attorney
Kristen provided months of sensitive and attentive support during a difficult divorce process. Her apparent and substantial understanding of legal matters is certainly why I choose her after considering several other attorneys. While she certainly delivered on that she always treated me respectfully, sensitively, honestly and warmly. Her approach helped me feel supported, understood, and encouraged. I am grateful to her and her team for the the tremendous and conscientious work during the divorce process.

divorce lawyer
Kristen was an excellent resource in a complicated divorce. After consultation and support from Kristen, a marriage of 20+ years with multiple properties and other assets were divided equally and equitably. I would recommend Kristen to anyone faced with a complicated divide.

Tennessee Alcohol Beverage Commission
I was recently released from Federal Prison after a 46 month sentence for wire fraud. I was offered a job to bartend, but the state of Tennessee denied my license to serve alcohol due to my conviction date for the wire fraud charges being less than four years. I retained Kristen to appeal my case before the TABC board. She advised me and helped me get letters from the community and family. She returned my emails and calls in a timely manner and talked me out of my irrational thoughts. She advised me well on how the procedure would go and what to expect. At the hearing, she was professional and respectful if the opposing attorney. But, she was also firm and educated them in federal law. They tried to say my crime was embezzlement which carries an 8 year prohibition, and Kristen quickly recited federal laws and statutes proving otherwise. She was very knowledgable about my criminal case although she did not represent me in that case. The director of the boards agreed with her that my TABC license would help move me and my family forward in life and granted me the license. I am so happy and working full time now thanks to Kristen Amonette. Also, as a gay man, I look forward to using Kristen in the future when and if I ever find a partner to marry now that it is legal. I can not thank or say enough kind things about this sweet soul. THANK YOU Kristen for moving my life in the right direction!

Kristen Amonette
I was completely satisfied with the guidance, representation and advice I received from Kristen. She was thorough, communicative and always had my best interests at heart. Her advice on issues relating to the long term costs associated with our child’s education and my obligations was well reasoned and, after some back and forth, accepted by his mother as fair and reasonable. She was patient and clear headed during the entire process. This was especially important given the lack of communication and questionable advice given by my spouse’s attorney. I would recommend Kristen without reservation,

Highly Recommended!
I recently went through a nasty divorce and Kristen helped me feel taken care of and "safe" from a legal standpoint. Friendly, sharp, efficient and incredibly knowledgeable about the subject matter, I would highly recommend her to anyone facing the same hard times. She is also bills extremely fair, which helped ease unnecessary stress during such a difficult time.

Caring and Impressive
Kristen helped me navigate a very difficult divorce and bring it to an incredibly speedy and successful resolution. She worked carefully with me to make sure I understood what I could expect, helped me determine what was most important to me, and deliver exactly what I was hoping for. She became more than my attorney through the process, as her caring and follow-through were excellent. I'm hoping not to need her services anymore, but if I do, I know she will be prepared to squelch any drama my ex might attempt.

To Kill a Mockingbird
I was working with a lawyer whom although we had a good relationship, due to certain circumstances he felt I might be better represented by someone else. I was hesitant and expressed my concerns about transitioning to a different attorney, especially during a trial. He stated he had been careful and very selective, pledging he had the perfect lawyer to take over my case. Anytime an attorney can refer you to another attorney, stating they would seek the same representation for a member of their own family, you should expect the result will be someone extremely well practiced and highly qualified. His advice led me to Kristen Amonette, a family law litigator and mediator, whom I must say was exactly who I needed in my corner. Mrs. Amonette immediately leveled the playing field, was quickly able to pick up on where we needed to be and she easily got us there. With that said, I welcome the opportunity to brag on Kristen Amonette any chance I can find. I believe her to be one of the most professional, yet personal lawyers I could have ever expected to have found on my own. Now maybe with my review, I can one to help lead others to her as well. The first thing I noted was Kristen Amonette entered the room exuding confidence, but without arrogance. She constantly gave me all of her energy, her time and attention. Very observant and nurturing, she listened well and was incredibly reassuring to meet my needs. She was focused and not afraid of a challenge, giving me solid advice and being truthful about my options. Mrs. Amonette was tremendously diligent in applying herself to her work, very well prepared and nicely organized. She acted as any true professional, although I found she was also a devoted wife and beautiful mother of two. This part was particularly important to me because it meant balance, definitely the stability and consistency I was craving during such a time of raw insecurity. Mrs. Amonette was involved, possessed loyalty and dedication as the greatest attorney (as the greatest wife and mother) anyone could desire. She was patient but persistent and strong while still understanding and sympathetic of the situation. She had the ability to be aggressive and domineering of the court room, yet she was respectful of the legal system and civil with her cross representation. I never felt alone during a very lonely time, for the reason I knew she was committed to my best interest and working wholeheartedly toward a shared goal. I love Kristen Amonette, as well as my family and friends love her. We all have so much respect and gratitude for what she has provided us. I feel honored to have had her by her side, because she has self built her reputation and earned her own success.

Recomendation for Kristen Amonnette
Thank you for the opportunity to offer my support and recommendation for the legal services of Kristen Amonette. I very much appreciated Kristen's professionalism and expertise to treat my proceedings seriously, impartially, and discretely--with respect to ALL involved parties. She was always communicative, informative, and intent on making sure my understanding was clear on all options. She was fair to--and respectful of--the process by making every effort to seek the resolution that was most beneficial and least costly to me. Her goal was for me to get to the most successful end, in the most expeditious and efficient manner. Kristen remained completely abreast of each step/nuance of my case, aggressive in her representation of my concerns, and cognizant of my position (whether it strengthened or weakened) on certain issues to the conclusion of all litigation. A few of the many things I appreciated most about Kristen, was her: ---professional-discipline to keep me and the proceedings on-task / focused, ---interpersonal skills that gave her the ability to connect with the both the court and the opposition, ---commitment to the case in the fulfillment of her responsibilities (I always felt like her priority), and ---analytical ability to quickly assess a situation/challenge and formulate the appropriate action/response leading to a desired outcome. Kristen always exhibited: a "can do" approach to my concerns, and the ability to put me at ease amidst a very stressful time in my life. I not only would--but have--recommended her, and will continue to do so. If I EVER have any other need for legal services, she IS MY ATTORNEY!! I am more than happy to represent for her, just as she represented me.
