Sam English is an excellent and awesome attorney. He is very conservative with your retainer and has a top of the line staff (paralegals). He is also a down to earth ma that understands your situation. I highly recommend this man and his team. They are compassionate and knows how to get the ...job done In my case he did it through mediation and didn't push for a trial which would have cost me much more. Like I said before, he cares about his cliebnts and their money. God forbid I have to go tbrough this again, but if I did, Sam English would be the first person I would hire. No question. Thank you Sam, Kandice and Elaine.

I would recommend Sam English if you are going through a custody fight. I made a mistake and had another lawyer and the other lawyer promised me that I would get plenty of time with my daughter and when it came to the mediation the lawyer didn't do his job and said that I need to sign because I wou...ld not get anymore time with my Child. I ended up with a few days a month and then I went to Sam for a second opinion and Sam could not believe what happen and he is fixing my case and now I get to see my daughter all the time. Take it from me and go see Sam English before you go see another lawyer even if some recommends another lawyer it will be a mistake if you don't go with Sam English trust me, if it wasn't for him I would never get to see my daughter.

For years I struggled with the process of post divorce issues... complications with my ex, child support (or the lack of child support), lots of unpaid medicals, as well as many other matters that arise from situations involving children and divorce. Since my divorce, I felt lost in the system and ...I had begun to loose faith in the courts completely when I was given English's number by a friend. From the day of our first meeting I knew that I was making the correct move to retain Sam English. He, as well as all employees of his firm, have been more than helpful at assisting myself and my family to achieve a much healthier Co-Parenting situation. For the first time ever in this process, I didn't feel that my children or my situation was not a priority, this alone was a huge blessing. Throughout the past year child support was paid for the first time ever and I was finally reimbursed for previous unpaid medical bills. Although, my journey with the Sam English is not over, I am very appreciative for the guidance and counseling that I have received thus far. I am confident and comforted in the fact that English will be there to facilitate and/or alleviate any future problematic situations that may arise with co-parenting.

I found myself in a very messy situation involving my family. I sought help from the Family Justice Center again. My husband retained a shrewd female attorney in town. A custody and divorce battle ensued in a retaliatory filing by my husband and his attorney. She ran circles around my legal aid...e attorney, whom I had confidence in, but was serving too many clients simultaneously. The Knox County Attorney General recommended that I hire an attorney comparable to the one my husband had hired. I have had interactions with many attorneys in town, and frankly I have just been disenchanted with many in the profession. I became frantic with this critical choice of selecting a powerhouse attorney that would fight for me and my children. After investigating, researching, and fielding through the list of top attorneys in Knoxville ~ and calling and meeting with several ~ I chose Sam English. Sam English quickly assessed that I had trust issues ~ and told me that the only way he could work on my behalf is if I trusted him. I took a chance on him ~ for me, trusting a man is very difficult ~ especially an attorney. However, Sam English proved himself to be trustworthy. He was a calming force in my storm. Sam English spent time reviewing documents (which had accumulated over 3 years). He counseled me in a high stakes case. He got allegations dismissed and documents dropped. He also referred me to a fabulous family counselor for my children, husband, and I ~ whom we continue to see. Sam's reputation and affiliations have continued to reveal a true class act. To Sam English's benefit, I must say that opposing counsel dragged her feet and delayed response time to keep it a challenge to remain informed. I do not blame Sam English for this. My husband said that his shrewd attorney thought Sam English to be a formidable force. Sam English was as effective as the water doused over the wicked witch in the Wizard of Oz ~ for my husband and his attorney's allegations and documents melted away. Sam English's counsel protected and provided for me and my children. I will forever be grateful for his service.

Sam English and his staff were truly wonderful to me. Sam came highly recommended. After 29 years of marriage I was devastated and emotionally drained. On our first meeting, I felt so comfortable with him and I felt that he & his staff were very professional & they took care of me through the who...le painful process. Sam is a very knowledgable and tough attorney. After one mediation my case was settled and I was extremely pleased with the outcome. I am so thankful that I retained the English Law firm. Sam & his staff were outstanding and I recommend him highly.
