About Samuel
Biography
As a Family Law Attorney I have made it my mission to help the people of East Tennessee through some of the most stressful times of their lives. For most people, the legal system can be confusing and even frightening. I became an attorney specifically to provide personalized care to my clients when they need it most.
As a Knoxville Tennessee native I have a deep sense of commitment to the people of East Tennessee. Before I was an attorney, I was a member of the United States Army as an Airborne Ranger with the 75th Ranger Regiment. While in the Army I deployed to Iraq twice, and Afghanistan twice, in support of the Global War on Terrorism. One thing I learned from my time overseas is that when you are facing a problem it is often best to face it head on. After my time in the military was over I decided return to East Tennessee and fight for the people in my community.
Family Law can be stressful and frightening. You need a dedicated attorney who will stand up for your rights, and the rights of your family. When you are ready to take the next step call me, Samuel B. Tipton, Attorney At Law, to schedule a free consultation at, or fill out the contact form on this website.
I received my B.A. in Political Science from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, and my Juris Doctorate from University of Tennessee College of Law. I am married to my wonderful wife, Stephanie Sardano Tipton, and we have two fantastic young children, Maddox and Carson. We enjoy boating, camping, and hiking in the beautiful Smoky Mountains. Like many other East Tennessee families you will find us cheering on the Volunteers on Saturdays.

Excellent
Mr. Tipton and his team did a superior job in representing me and communicating with me during the entire case. Without going into great detail, he was confident, knowledgeable, considerate, and certainly not intimidated by apposing counsel antics. He did a great job for me, I highly recommend him.

Sam did a great job for me in a legal separation. He is very knowledgeable and professional and walked me through the process step by step. Everything went exactly as he said it would. He has been great with follow up since then and is always very responsive. I would highly recommend him.
