Best Lawyer in Knoxville

I trusted Sam English with the most important case of my life, the custody of my 1.5 year old daughter. I won everything that I wanted! He kept me sane through this gut wrenching process and he prevailed! I would recommend this lawyer to anyone. You really do get what you pay for and SAM ENGLISH IS T...HE BEST!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH! Kandace is really great too! Thank you all!

Best in Knoxville!

I spent some time researching and asking around to find the right attorney to use in my divorce/custody case. I asked several people including some people that work for DHS who to use and they all said to use Mr. Sam English without a doubt. They were not wrong! Mr. English, Mr. Pierce, Andrea and th...e rest of his staff were excellent! They were with me through the whole process and when it mattered the most! If your looking for an aggressive attorney that has your best interest at heart then SAM ENGLISH is your man!

Great Attorney

I was having issue with visitation/custody. I had been to several incompetent " family" attorneys and almost lost hope on anyone in the profession. Then I found Sam English. He was exactly what I was looking for, aggressive but caring. I felt heard and seen. He and his staff are very easy to wor...k with. Communication was excellent. His staff was quick to respond to any questions that I had and also very friendly. If you are looking for a knowledgeable, caring and VERY AGGRESSIVE family attorney, Look no further. Hire Sam!! He is worth every penny and then some. My family and I are very Thankful to have had Sam on our side!!

Great and Honest Lawyer

I hired Mr. English right after my daughter was born he was honest with me up front that my case might take awhile but he helped me from day 1, even though DCS was throwing ever hurtle in my way. My wife and I now have full legal and physical custody of her. Without Mr. English we might still be jump...ing through hoops just to see her.

Best Attorney Ever

I would not say this easily nor would I give such an endorsement had I not experienced it first-hand. Mr. English is not just a staunch defender and advocate of his clients, he listens and empathizes with them, and has the legal knowledge and experience to make an intelligent plan and strategy. He is... looking to win, but he also understands the best-interests of all involved and especially takes what is in the best interests of the children into account. I have known Sam since 2003. I know most divorces are difficult and can be messy, especially with kids involved, but my case turned out to be particularly unusual and complicated. With Sam as my counsel, I felt I had an advocate and also a shoulder to lean on in some very dark times. He didn't always tell me what I wanted to hear, but he always told me what I needed to hear and was honest and never misled me over what turned out to be over a 12 year journey. He is passionate about standing up for the rights of his clients. He will go toe-to-toe with the best of them and be your voice in the emotional and intimidating legal world of the Courts and Attorneys. He is also not afraid to tackle those less popular cases, such as mine, where I was the Father facing the bias of the maternal versus paternal roles. He brought logic and civility back to a very, at times, seemingly never-ending irrational process. Thank you, Sam. I know you gave a piece of yourself through all of this. For those considering hiring him, you will not be disappointed if you choose Sam and he will restore your faith in the legal process. Ultimately, justice will be served with this charismatic, experienced and knowledgeable Attorney. I can't say enough good things about him...
