Lori Farris Fleishman

Not being one who writes reviews, I am writing because I am uniquely positioned to provide insight as I have observed Ms. Fleishman’s performance over the last 10 years in my own case, extended family’s case, and the cases of family friends. Ms. Fleishman delivered wins in each of these cases and dem...onstrated brilliant intellect, detailed knowledge of law, uncanny intuition, and a keen sense on where a case is heading and what may arise. Lori and her team completely turned my case around into a complete success. In the past, I interviewed many attorneys and can empathize that it is incredibly difficult finding someone trustworthy, who is not primarily concerned with filling their retainer. Ms. Fleishman is on the opposite end of this spectrum as she genuinely gives counsel for the benefit of her clients. She cares more about winning your case, protecting you from any damage, and obtaining the healthiest outcome for your family. There have been moments when her advice to me went against any additional profit to her. This is the caliber of representation that I strongly believe deserves such a great review. Ms. Lori Fleishman is a renowned top tier attorney who is highly regarded in the South, having represented both private individuals and major companies. She is regularly hired by the South’s finest, from company heads to industry executives. People even look for her from areas outside Tennessee. Many have heard of her wins, as she wins more than loses. If you are hiring her for your case, you’d be happy to know that you are hiring the Ivy League of attorneys. If average attorneys are Kias, Ms. Fleishman is definitely a Ferrari. Quite literally, she has a strong presence in the room and is extremely fast on her feet. A rarity in the law world, she has both an empathetic, objective eye, but is also well known in the courtroom for being an aggressive fighter. Her fierceness in defense of her clients has long been famed and discussed among attorneys and previous, happy clients. I have seen her in Gladiator mode and she will NOT back down in your defense. I cannot emphasize this enough. She is extremely thorough and will catch the little details others will overlook, which can turn cases around. This combined with her intelligence, strong poised presence in the courtroom, and 30+ year experience makes her someone you definitely want on your side in tough cases. I’d much rather have her on my side than against. From personal experience, Ms. Fleishman takes the time to listen to her clients, ask detailed questions, and can immediately consider a number of possible strategies and resulting scenarios. With 30 years of experience, her expertise clearly shows in the first meeting, in mediation and under pressure in trial cases. She has a natural ability to think beyond what is being portrayed, and figure out what is truly happening on the other side. I read other reviews on this site and have to shake my head. Some of the negative reviews are not authentic as there are cases where disgruntled opponents or ex spouses have lost against her in court and log onto these sites to smear her name. They create fictitious, fake stories to retaliate against a fair trial that they did not win. Please be careful when considering. As with any review, please question the credibility and stability of these authors. Questioning is healthy. If you are not sure about an attorney, try scheduling an appointment and see for yourself. If the attorney clearly shows knowledge, addresses your concerns, and completely evaluates your situation, that is a good sign. Under her representation, I rested easy knowing that I have the best possible attorney in the South. I have confidently recommended her to my own family and friends, and I’ve only gotten words of gratitude. So I can definitely recommend her to others on here without hesitation. Feel free to send the letters of appreciation to my email. It would be extremely difficult to find better.

This has to be the best attorney in Knoxville. She was very dedicated to our case. We could pick up the phone and call her office, and our call was returned. Her paralegals were great too. A very professional lawyer. This is the only attorney we will ever use. She represented us very well in court. V...ery knowledgable.

Was not kept informed of my case. Telephone calls were not returned. Emergency situation was ignored. Had 2 part case, after first stage was completed nothing was EVER done for the 2nd part. All inquiries as to status of case were ignored. After several years of this, I found a new attorney that reso...lved my case in less than 1 week!
