Would definitely call him again!

This review is long overdue, but better late than never. I called Joseph a few years ago to assist with a legal matter and not only was he quick to meet with me, he was affordable and I was able to settle out of court and get the settlement I deserved.

Very Impressed Client

I used Mr. Livesay back in 2009 for a child support case and got favorable results. I talked to him about the current case I had and he was honest and said he had never handled a case quite like mine before. My case was a healthcare type of case. I gave Mr. Livesay all the information I had. He even ...asked lots of questions to get a better understanding of my issue. During the hearing Mr. Livesay asked the right questions to get the desired answers during the testimony. The judge even asked if he had done this type of case before and told him that he had done an excellent job. I was very impressed and will definitely use Mr. Livesay again and would recommend him to everyone.

The Parable of the Persistent Widow (Single Mother)

Had a free consultation by this man whom I've read good reviews, but I didn't feel the trustworthy, knowledgeable information from him. For what I did recieve was his opinion, and an opinion is not based on facts of truth. If Livesay understand the situation and admitted it is wrong and yet again s...aid that it is a law. I have for ELOHM, The ALMIGHTY HEAVENLY FATHER been a witness to a terrible thing going on in the Justice System of Tennessee, which in itself is criminal and injustice. The man never looked me in the eye telling me what he believes he knows, which tells me it is a shame the way the system is and how it oppresses the disadvantage when wronged...

Great Lawyer

I have known and used Joe Livesay services for the last fifteen years. I recommend him to anyone I know and I truly trust his judgment. He is very knowledgeable and always straight forward.

Very good lawyer

Mr Livesay recently wrapped up a lengthy and difficult divorce for me. I could not be happier with the representation I received. I would recommend him to anyone who needs a lawyer.
