I have been privileged to practice law in the great State of Tennessee since 1997. If I can provide my experience to you or someone you know in the areas of Probate and Estate Administration, Conservatorships or Guardianships, Divorce and Family Law or Business and Commercial Litigation, please feel free to contact my office. If for any reason I am unable to assist you, I will do my best to get you to counsel who can help.
Practice areas
Probate is the legal process used to carry out a person's will after their death; a probate attorney advises you on how to perform the steps in the process. If there is no will, the probate attorney advises which steps need to be taken to satisfy the state laws of intestate estates.

A divorce lawyer helps you if you no longer want to be married. Whether you want a legal separation or the marriage ended, divorce lawyers assist you to arrange financial and family matters, typically in a negotiation with your spouse's lawyer. Alimony, child custody, child support, and a fair division of community assets (like who keeps the house or how your checking and savings accounts are divided) are matters that a divorce lawyer is trained to help determine.

Patrick Potempa, Divorce and separation Attorney on Mar 3, 2015
Relationship: Worked together on matter
I endorse Rad Dimmick without reservation. A no-nonsense lawyer who achieves his clients' goals as quickly and efficiently as possible. Mr. Dimmick is not a lawyer to tell one what they want to hear; instead he gives honest, straight forward, sound legal advice to his clients and opposing counsels.
Top-notch attorney. Highly respected in the legal community.
Kim Gilleland, Divorce and separation Attorney on Nov 21, 2014
Relationship: Worked together on matter
I have worked with Radford on a few cases and I have had to face him as opposing counsel on a few as well. He is very professional, very knowledgeable, and will put all he has and more into representing his clients. If I have a question, he is my first call. I highly recommend Rad and can say you will not be disappointed in his representation.
David Hopkins, General practice Attorney on Nov 18, 2014
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I have known Rad for over 15 years and have sought his advice often on legal issues ranging from probate to family law and everything in between. He is a highly qualified attorney who works tirelessly for his clients and I recommend him without reservation.
David Ridings, Probate Attorney on Sep 22, 2014
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I have known Mr. Dimmick for many years. I once practiced in an office down the hall, and had the privilege of being able to walk in and "pick his brain" almost anytime I needed. When I personally needed a Will I went to Rad. (... and I know you would think a lawyer would be able to draft his own Will. But I needed experience.) Rad was my first choice. When my grandfather passed and I needed probate help... same thing. I have always been able to depend on Rad for a answer to my legal question about Wills and Estate Planning... and then some. I am happy to endorse my friend Radford Dimmick as a "go to" lawyer on Wills, Probate & Estate Planning.
Michael Waddington, Family Attorney on May 26, 2014
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I endorse Radford. He is a highly skilled attorney that is well respected in the legal community.
Donna Green, Family Attorney on Apr 28, 2014
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
Radford Dimmick is a knowledgable, hard-working attorney who uses his substantial experience to provide his clients with excellent legal advice. He would be a great choice for anyone seeking representation in family law matters. I endorse this lawyer.
