Camellia Saunders

Camellia Saunders is quality! Her ethics are on point. She is professionally personal. I have never had an issue with fees or retainers and receive detailed bills for services so I know where my money is going. I have always been able to get a meeting with her in a timely manner and she returns e...-mails and phone calls in an appropriate amount of time. She has always been direct and honest with me about possible outcomes. I feel confident with her as my representation because I truly believe that she cares about the children and will follow the law, and give a true fight to protect it. She was my attorney for custody of my oldest children, I lost the first time but due to the facts of the case and my condition, not because of her representation. Since then I have retained her, when my side of the street was taken care of, and I won! Both times. People, we have to give our attorneys something to work with - she is not going to fight against what is best for a child. She WILL help you maneuver through the legal system knowledgeably and help you keep as many rights as possible and develop a "game plan" for the future. She gave me hope, and it was just what I needed. Today my life is beautiful and I'm so grateful that I chose her!

I was facing a 60-day relocation case. My husband accepted a job out of state so I had to notify my childs father of the relocation and he opposed our move. We had very little time to get all of this straightened out because my husband was already out of state starting his job while I stayed home wit...h my children till the court case was heard. Camellia and her assistant Karen, were fantastic with communicating with me, returning my phone calls and talking through all the legal language. Camellia jumped in feet first into my case, took charge over the court scheduling, mediation and really showed her knowledge of the Knox county court system. We ended up in court 2 days after our mediation did not accomplish our goal. Camellia took the entire day to prepare every detail to argue with the opposing counsel. She killed every argument the other side had to opposing our relocation and tore into every personal detail that showed the judge there was no reason for us NOT to relocate. Camellia was extremely knowledgeable, aggressive (at the right times), responsive and trustworthy. All of this was accomplished within a month! I have dealt with 2 other attorneys who worked on other issues of child custody for us and they didn't accomplish anything in over 2 years! Camellia took my case to heart and saved my family from what could have been a nightmare. She is worth every dime and more.I would recommend her to everyone I know, just not my enemies!

Not being from Knoxville left us with a difficult task of finding a reliable attorney. When we began our search, we ran across Camellia's profile which motivated us to want to go in for a consultation. When we sat down with her and laid out the details of our situation, we felt like she took the case... and made it her own. Whilst the court system can be daunting with an attorney, it can be even more frustrating without one. Camellia demonstrated her adept knowledge of the law, as well as her persistence in getting things done on our behalf. What could've taken years to fix had she not been involved, took roughly 5 months, and thats only because of the courts lack of responsibility in getting us on the dockets. I highly recommend Camellia, if you are in need of someone who understands the law, affordable, as well as someone who will work profusely to get the job done.

Other than a free consultation, we never saw her. We were charged for every phone call, every email she wrote, every letter she wrote, which exhausted the entire retainer. We primarily went through assistant's. Ms. Saunders advice and recommendations did not pan out, and she did not want to explor...e other options in order to help the child involved. We ended up with no retainer money left when the court day approached, and within 48 hours we had another attorney who stepped in and helped us gain custody rights. I called her office after the court date to give them information I had received on our case that her office had no clue about. Ms. Saunders basically got her money, wrote some emails, filed a custody order (which she advised would definitely work and did not), billed us up and dropped off. A complete waste of our time and money.
