David Christopher Veazey

My husband and I hired David for a custody dispute over my nephew. He was always kind, answered our questions appropriately, returned calls promptly and explained the complicated juvenile court system to us. I recommend him to all my friends in need of representation. Our case hasn't always gone as ...we would have liked but not because of David. He has been wonderful to work with and we wouldn't go elsewhere.

I've not hired Mr. Veazey myself, but am fam illiar with him through the Occupy Chattanooga lawsuit. Not being one of the main organizers, I was not personally his client. However, Mr. Veazey was clearly a capable attorney who fought for a client with whom the public in Chattanooga had little sympath...y. Later when I thought I needed an attorney, I consulted Mr. Veazey who could have taken my case and charged me quite a bit of money. Instead he directed me to a not-for-profit who would assist me in filing a complaint via a regulatory agency and gave me the name of a more specialized firm to consult if that process was unsuccessful. If I ever need a lawyer again, he will be my first call.

David failed to be an appropriate attorney in all aspects! He did absolutely nothing to help our case and did not have our daughters best interest at heart. We paid upfront for services that we did not get and no effort was put forth. Of course he showed up to court and that might as well of been it!... He stood there, said nothing, didn't fight for us and didn't stand up for us. For someone that says they specialize in custody and seperation he sure doesn't care about his clients! This is a childs life and one we care so deeply about and to trust someone to do the right thing for you and get this piece of crap was sad! We hired another attorney within a weeks time of court to hopefully fix the mess that David created for us. And then come to find out that he signed paperwork for us and did not discuss it with us prior. If it was up to me he would be out of a job and I have no problem stating how useless he was to us. I wish we could get our money back, we didn't pay for any services anyhow. So for those of you out there that care about your children and actually need someone that will stand up for you and do the right thing DO NOT, I repeat do not hire this so called attorney!

When criminal charges were filed against my son for allegations I knew were false our world came unraveled. Although I have an attorney brother he does not practice in the Chattanooga area, nor is he familiar with Tennessee state law. He intervened immediately on my son’s behalf however we then had a... daunting task of hiring a local attorney. We talked to several attorneys. Some were not familiar with juvenile criminal law and the one who was charged an outrageous retainer let alone hourly fees. We initially used him because he had prior experience with the charges we were up against. We met David during our 1st trip to juvenile court and thankfully he had provided us with his card during our encounter. We followed up with David and immediately knew he was the right choice for our family. David was concerned about my son and his well-being during this ordeal (others seemed more concern with their payment). David was the 1st one to speak with my son which made him feel comfortable and optimistic. My son was unfortunately immediately assumed guilty because of the type of charges. No one truly seemed concerned about the truth. David actually cared. David was quick to respond to our questions and kept us well informed throughout the process. David shared all of the “evidence” being used by the prosecution so there were no surprises when we went to court. He prepped all of us for the possible outcomes and worked until the last minute asking the DA to review their own “evidence” which in and of itself proved my son was innocent. Through his diligent handling of the background work we were prepared when the trial day came. The DA had no case and after months of emotional ups and downs the case was dismissed. I cannot express in words how thankful we are that we met David that day in juvenile court. He took the time to speak with my son and believed he was innocent. David made no assumptions and actually worked to obtain the facts. Because if his hard work and dedication my son has his youth back. Thank you David!
