Camellia Saunders

Attorney Camellia Saunders handled a sensitive case matter involving my child who was falsely accused of a crime. Being out-of-state, we had to rely on Ms. Saunders bio and reviews when we made our selection to hire her to represent our child. Additionally, we thought she would be best suited to repr...esent our child and have the necessary compassion and empathy required for this matter. Her pedigree on paper matched perfectly with the person we ultimately met in person. Her accolades are truly a testament of the drive and dedication that she puts into her work. She is easy to talk to, patient with the myriad of questions we had, and her staff was also very pleasant and extremely helpful throughout. She initially met with our child to gauge their character and obtain background into the situation. Frankly put, she advised she would not have represented our child if she thought they were guilty of the crime which speaks highly of her ethical and moral compass. She kept us informed every step of the way through all the story changes and rescheduled court dates from the individual. More importantly, she treated our child as if they were family and provided valuable input and recommendations on the best course of actions from the perspective eyes of a parent which made us feel comfortable in making our decisions. As a result, she was able to negotiate with the opposing client’s attorney resulting in us not having to go to court and nothing going on our child’s record. And we are free of this nightmare! Thank you for everything including your staff who was a great reflection of your professionalism and compassion!

To say that Camellia Saunders is good at her job is a gross understatement. Camellia is hugely knowledgeable, and incredibly capable. I had been in the process of a divorce for almost a year when I hired her. Within weeks she had a signed divorce agreement. She spent late nights, while recovering f...rom surgery on my case. Her kindness and personal dedication were priceless. She invested herself in my case, getting to know the details and intricacies that made me feel she was invested in my positive outcome, keeping in mind always the welfare of my children as paramount. I always left her office or phone calls feeling more confident and empowered. Her office staff were always ready and available to take my MANY calls cheerfully, and professionally. Hiring Camellia was the best decision I could've possibly made. I wish I'd hired her sooner.

In fairness, I just retained Ms. Saunders today after an hour long consultation. However this is the first time in weeks I may be able to sleep. I have a complex case, and many attorneys were either unwelcoming, or after being kind, declined. I never thought I would need a divorce attorney, so I went... in sad, scared, and feeling weak. Something I am unused to feeling. But Ms. Saunders exudes strength. And that is what I needed, because I cannot be that for myself right now. She is bright, articulate, straight forward...and I am confident in her, her team, and will follow their advice through. The space itself is also beautiful, and while some may find that irrelevant, in times of crisis, it was an added comfort.

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!

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.
