also known as Mike Moyers
I graduated from the University of Tennessee College of Law in 1987. In 1988 I joined the Knox County Law Director's Office, where I served as Deputy Law Director until 2000, when I was elected Law Director. In those roles I advised every board, agency and elected official within Knox County government. I litigated in the areas of zoning and land use, personal injury defense, contract and business law and civil rights. I had extensive experience in Appellate practice, appearing on multiple occasions before the Tennessee Court of Appeals, the Tennessee Supreme Court and the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals.
In 2006 I was elected Chancellor for the 6th Judicial District (Knox County). I served in that position for over 14 years, retiring in January 2021. In that role I gained extensive experience in family law and adoption, will contests and undue influence matters, contract interpretation and all other areas within the equity jurisdiction of the Tennessee Chancery Courts. As Chancellor, I engaged in formal and informal mediation of cases, believing that agreement and compromise is superior in most cases to judicial fiat.
In January 2021 I am excited to join the law firm of Bernstein, Stair and McAdams. I plan to specialize in mediation, family law, representing citizens before government boards and commissions, and appellate practice. Please feel free to contact me at my new office if I may be of service to you.

Mr.
About 15 years ago my attorney for many years dropped his private practice to work for a Federal Judge. I wandered in the wilderness for most of time since and about two weeks ago I had something come up where I really needed good, competent legal assistance. I scanned Google for a familiar name and...
Thank you for the kind words David. It was a pleasure being of assistance to you.

Excellent choice for you
I have known Mike Moyers since he was a Chancellor on the bench for 20 years. I appeared in his Court for many years. He was compassionate about his work as a Judge. Recently, he decided to retire as Chancellor and move to practicing law again. He wants to help people and use his expertise to he...
"Mr. Moyers conducted a mediation on a highly contested custody matter. This case involved years of litigation and has always led to trials in the past. However, this time was different. We used Michael Moyers to mediate this case, and after 13 hours of mediation over two days, we were able to reach a detailed agreement that addressed all issues currently before the court. Through his assistance, he saved these parties from a time consuming and difficult trial. I highly recommend him for mediation and will use him again in the future."
"I worked for Chancellor Moyers as a judicial clerk for nearly seven years and I now have the pleasure of working with him as a fellow attorney at Bernstein Stair & McAdams LLP. I have always known Chancellor Moyers to be a fair and considerate jurist. His decades of study and application of the law are complimented by his unique ability to quickly drill down to the pertinent issues faced by the parties who come before him. I readily endorse and recommend this attorney."
