Best decision I ever made!

Recently, I found myself looking for a divorce attorney. I interviewed multiple law firms before deciding on Mandy Hancock Law. I couldn't have been more pleased with my decision. From the beginning, Mandy showed that she was much more than just a lawyer. She actually cares. She was compassionate, un...derstanding, and at times, firm. I was never "over billed" as some firms do. I was always able to reach Mandy when I had questions, and if she was busy, Fawn was right there to address my concerns. I would not hesitate to recommend Mandy Hancock Law to anyone needing an attorney. It was the best decision I could have made. Thank you Mandy, Fawn and Ellie for everything you did for me!

Does not fight for justice, at all

Retained Mandy during some pretty continuous times with my ex husband over the children. Not only did Mandy not recognize things like when the judge should have recused himself, she did not use the evidence given to her to get a fair and just outcome for me or the children. She was unprofessional, lo...oked visibly terrible at times, and simply acted as though she didn’t care. She omitted or gave unclear information that would have been other options to explore. She fundamentally and overall did a deplorable job. She charged $5000 retainer but only wanted more money to do the right thing. It was concerning and sad. She has helped make things for my children and myself harder than they ever needed to be. If able I would give her a zero. East TN and Knoxville itself have numerous really great lawyers. She is not one of them in my opinion.

Ms. George: Thank you for your feedback as it gives me an opportunity to address your concerns. Our records indicate that your case was finalized by agreement almost one year ago and that you contacted our office in May for new representation. At that I was not able to help you as I had an unexpected death in my family which put me at least a month out on taking new cases (which included new clients and re-opening of files for previous clients), and I did not feel that was fair to make you wait that long. Even after the conclusion of your case we continued to assist you with your questions. Due to the attorney client privilege, I cannot discuss the specifics of your case on a public forum. We hold ourselves to high ethics standard and sometimes people do not want to hear what we have to say but we must provide clients with an honest evaluation of their case. We also have to consider the time and money a case takes to completion of a trial which is generally more than an initial retainer. We hope you can find an attorney that aligns with your needs and wish you the best in the future. Sincerely, Mandy Hancock

Rockstar Lawyer!

Mandy Handcock handled my divorce in 2019 and she did a fantastic job! She has since handled custody related issues and did an amazing job in the courtroom representing me. Mandy is very knowledgeable in all things legal. She handled many different things that were thrown at her in the courtroom with... ease and professionalism. I was so impressed with her and would recommend Mandy to anyone dealing with divorce or custody related issues. Divorce is one of the most stressful times in your life but Mandy made it a very smooth easy process for me...
