Lori Farris Fleishman

Lori Fleishman is a great lawyer and I highly recommend her for handling your divorce and/or child custody case. However, before I get into all the reasons why I think Lori is the best lawyer for these law specialties, I want to set the record straight about an exceptionally negative review about Lor...i that I just read on this forum. It is titled, ‘Jacqui, child custody case.’ Jacqui rated Lori as "poor" in all categories. I thought, how is it possible that one of Lori’s clients would rate her so low? A lawyer that deserves such low ratings surely could not survive in such a competitive market as Knoxville. I knew that Lori’s law firm was thriving, so I went back to re-read this review to try to better understand the person’s perspective. While I was reading it, I realized that I knew the person that had written this review, based on terminology and writing style, and she wasn’t a client of Lori Fleishman. Let's call her Alicia (not her real name), who is my child's ex-mother-in-law. Alicia hired several lawyers during the past few years in an attempt to gain the upper hand in both the divorce and child custody case in which my child was involved. She used various dirty tactics to try to manufacture evidence that she could use in court. Lori was able to negate the fabricated evidence and use it to our advantage. Because Alicia has not been able to prevail, she has resorted to character assassination of the opposing lawyer (Lori). A lawyer's reputation is their livelihood. This is an effective, but very dishonest and low class way to "get even." It is interesting to note that Alicia chose the name Jacqui to be the author of her bogus "review." Jacqui is the name of one of Alicia’s real life daughters. Jacqui is really a very nice person and I doubt if she is linked in any way to her Mother's deceitful actions. This is a good example of how easy it is for someone to ruin a professional's reputation by using lies on feedback forums, like this one, or on social media. It makes me wonder how many other bad reviews of Lori on this website and others like it could also be Alicia’s work. It is becoming more and more difficult to distinguish between the good guys and the frauds, liars, and disreputable people online. They distort the truth for their own selfish motives. The good guys are legitimately trying to help the readers of this forum by sharing their REAL experiences, both positive and negative, as one of Lori’s clients. If people are being truthful, I have no doubt that the good reviews will overwhelmingly outnumber the bad ones. MY REVIEW My wife and I first met Lori Fleishman four years ago when we were looking for legal representation for our child’s divorce, which included a child custody battle. We were very pleased with the outcome that Lori fought for in both the divorce and the custody battle. Lori has a great legal team to assure that her clients have the most competent and effective legal representation possible.We highly recommend Lori Fleishman to anyone who is looking for a knowledgeable, experienced, and effective lawyer to represent them in a divorce or a child custody dispute. Lori guided us through the turmoil and kept us in the loop of what was happening at each step in the process. She imparted to us her confidence that we would eventually prevail. In summary, I can’t stress enough that you don’t realize how important it is to have really good legal representation, especially if you face off with someone like Alicia. You need a lawyer that can respond to the twists and turns in a case and not back down from any hostilities or difficult situations faced, especially when “special personalities" are involved. - George

Ms. Fleishman is extremely knowledgable regarding divorce matters. This was my first experience using an attorney, and she was unbelievably helpful and caring when it came to me, personally. She and her staff were always ready to answer any questions that arose during the course of my divorce actio...n. I fully expected this matter to take much longer than it did, and, in fact, my divorce was filed and I was divorced within a 4 month period. Although my divorce was an agreed divorce, this process was made as seamless as possible by Ms. Fleishman, and I truly appreciate her professionalism and personal care in this regard. I would recommend her to anyone needing a divorce.

The word "terrified" cannot adequately express how I felt when I suddenly found myself filing for a divorce from my long-term marriage. I felt hopeless. By the grace of God I was introduced to Lori Fleishman. She and her staff competely understood my situation and were readily available to assist... me. My telephone calls were always returned within a 24 hour period, and I truly appreciate the "hand holding" by her staff. The divorce process is overwhelming, at times, and they were there to ease my frustration and concerns allowing me to move past the issues. The divorce did take a while to complete, as it was a contentious divorce, but I knew coming in that it was not going to be a short process. Ms. Fleishman was very knowledgable and she and her staff kept me informed every step of the way throughout the process. So, to anyone out there who is terrified of getting a divorce, I would recommend Lori Fleishman. You won't be disappointed.
