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.
