Saving Grace

I recently went through a very sudden and unexpected divorce and was blindsided with the reality of what that meant for me. Rachel was my saving grace and my guide. Her level headed and even handed approach to each staggering situation helped me to calmly and rationally navigate the waters, trustin...g her knowledge and experience to lead the way. Thank you Rachel.

Rachel Rocks!

Rachel Sharp (Upshaw) was my lawyer for my divorce and was Absolutely Wonderful! She followed through on everything she told me she would, worked diligently to get me everything possible for my best interests and got me the most compensation from my ex-husband possible. She referred me to a wonderf...ul mediator who worked along side Rachel to get the divorce finalized as painlessly as possible, and got me what I deserved in the settlement. She was there for me in person, over the phone or email whenever I needed her, and she was there for me in spirit as well (supported and encouraged me through a Very tough time in my life). She is a Wonderful lawyer and is backed by a Wonderful law firm as well. I Highly recommend Rachel for a lawyer for anyone going through a divorce...she will make it easier on you and as painless as possible, which isn't an easy task during those types of difficult circumstances. Thank You, Rachel and Thank You, Karla C. Miller and Assocs. You Rock! ~)~

Parenting Plan / Child Custody / Relocation

I had a terrible experience with another Nashville attorney while trying to iron out a solid parenting plan. I had almost given up on everything until I contacted Rachel. She was honest, diligent and always prepared. I have had to use Rachel several times over the past two years to deal with a dif...ficult family situation and I am very pleased with the results. I would highly recommend Rachel to anyone dealing with divorce or child custody issues and I will continue to use her in the future if necessary.

Excellent lawyer, compassionate and understanding

Rachel is a wonderful attorney. Never thought I would be getting divorced but she is a no nonsense lawyer who understands her clients and listens. She got me with the right mediator to get my divorce settled as quickly as she could. She knows how to cut through all the bs and work through issues that... need to be dealt with great professionalism. I highly recommend Rachel!

A bridge over troubled waters

Divorce is the #2 most stressful things in life, a close 2nd to the death of a loved one. This was no different for my situation. Never thought I'd be seeking a divorce, but lo and behold, here I was. With many questions and deep stress over what to do I found (or was led to) Miss Rachel, who was ...the ideal attorney for me, looking back at the results. Rachel is very effective, efficient, professional, intelligent, knowledgeable, and keen and no non-sense about her profession; but she is also kind, thoughtful, and patient. I spilled over concerns about father's rights, voiced over my sweet 2-year old daughter, who is unfortunately involved in the middle of her mom and dad's irreconcilable differences. Rachel worked with me, going the extra miles, to prepare and create a court-ordered plan that I could not be more pleased with [big sigh of relief]. Rachel is not mean or nasty, but a focused and persistently effective attorney that will seek justice for you in your situation. I have the utmost respect for her, and highly recommend her work and services to you.
