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.

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 t...ransparent 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.

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,
