Best Child Custody Attorney in Knoxville

Mr. English is a complete game changer! I would recommend him to anyone going thru a divorce or a child custody dispute. I felt like I was being pushed into a corner during my divorce until I retained Mr. English, but, after retaining his services, everything changed for the better. I got much more t...han I ever dreamed was possible in my divorce when it came to the custody of my child. Mr. English was amazing, Preston was amazing, and the firm's paralegals were always on top of everything. Don't waste your time with any other Knoxville attorney. Hire Mr. English.

Very best !

My husband and I were represented by Sam English for more then 10 years. He always went above and beyond to help us. Always treating us like people and not just clients. I would recommend him without a second thought. In fact I have ! Sam really cares about what is best for the children. I think he u...nderstands because he is a dad himself and that makes a huge difference. Sam is definitely the attorney I want on my side. He really knows his stuff and it shows when he stands in front of the court.

Best family law attorney in Knoxville

I hired Mr. English several years when I realized divorce was inevitable. I was impressed at his compassion and empathy towards me, not to mention his knowledge of the law. To me, Sam seemed to take my case personally and I have a feeling I’m not alone in feeling that way. Divorce is a lengthy proces...s, he and his office kept me informed on “what to expect next”. When my divorce was finalized (there was a child involved), I felt like I got at least as “say so”, and feel like it was handled fairly, and men seldom feel like that when it’s over. If divorce ever presents itself in my life again the choice will already be made, a phone call to Mr. English would be in the works. Best advice I can give is to listen to Sam and let him do his job....

Excellent

Sam English and his staff were extremely professional and a huge asset for me during my divorce. I was very satisfied with my settlement in the divorce and the secondary lawsuit I had filed. I highly recommend The English Law Firm.

Poor Service - Didn’t Represent My Request

2003 I hired him for my divorce. I wanted full custody but would accept joint custody. Mr English did not support my request and gave me poor red presentation. Convinced me to accept a lesser agreement which has cost me over $140K since. A lot more to the story but very poor service. Thumbs Down

Dear Sir: I’m very sorry you feel like you received poor advice from me 15 years ago and I let you down. I cannot determine the case with only your first name and year. I try my best in every case and give advice based on the facts of each case. I am most definitely not perfect and I am disappointed that you feel that I failed you. The law is tricky and totally dependent on your set of facts. It’s not unusal when people decide to settle the case and not go to trial that they in future feel the “what if I went to trial” perspective. I would like to talk to you about your experience above and your spending $140,000 since my representation on a custody case. It sounds like a very complex matter and those fees sound very high. I’m always looking to grow with past experiences and I would appreciate a call to my office to discuss it. I’m replying to this post as I’m on vacation with my family so I won’t be in the office until next week. I didn’t want to delay your being contacted. I will look for your call and respond to you as soon as possible. Again, my apologies for your feelings that I let you down and I look forward to your call.
