Nick Rice

I was awarded a divorce last week and was fortunate enough to have hired Nick Rice and his team to represent me. Nick is straightforward and honest. I was especially impressed with his cross examination skills and knowledge of the law. The other side kept trying to throw us curve balls and change ups..., but Nick hit it out of the park at every hearing. He never fumbled about what to do next. Mary, his assistant attorney was the person I spoke to most. I appreciated how quick she was to respond and how easily she explained things in lay terms. I had gobs of documentation to go through and she was able to sift through it all and piece together my case in a way that was easy to show the court what was going on. Nick and Mary were literal answers to my prayers. In August of 2022 I was gearing up for what would be a nasty divorce and I knew I needed a lawyer, a good one. My (now ex, ptl) husband had threatened that if I divorce him he would, "Make it very difficult for me to leave" and "Destroy me in court." So, I did what anyone from the Bible Belt would and immediately asked my God, Jehovah, to send me the best divorce attorney in the state of TN. After I ended the prayer the realization of my prayer combined with my lower middle class status hit me like a fastball to the chest. I immediately turned back to God and asked him for the best divorce attorney in the state of TN... that I could afford. Within 3 days a friend of mine brought Nick up in conversation without me even asking/discussing my situation. Fast forward about 7 months and I had finally filed. My (now ex, ptl) husband called me after he hired his own lawyer and he was crying hysterically. I mean, sobbing like an actual baby. He was barely comprehensible. My (now ex, ptl) husband was extremely upset that I'd hired Nick and was desperately trying to get me to find a new attorney. If you've guessed by this point that I knew that my (now ex, ptl) husband is a liar, you're right. Of course I was going to keep my current representation; however, I did call (and we'll blame this on a trauma bond) a couple of family friends who are also attorneys in west TN to get the scoop on Nick. Both attorneys are older gentlemen and said the same thing almost verbatim: "Is that Larry Rice's son? If he's anything like his dad then you have a good attorney. Larry's been the best divorce lawyer in the state of TN for OVER THIRTY YEARS." One of the men added, "...and I'd say he's the most ethical lawyer too." I was overwhelmed with thankfulness at the EXACT answer to my prayers. In my lengthy divorce I could not have afforded the senior Mr. Rice. Luckily, I got an attorney who learned from the best. In the end, I won a divorce against a man that the judge even termed "emotionally and psychologically abusive" to both me and my children. All thanks to Nick and his team. My ex went through at least 5 lawyers during the two year litigation, but no matter what any of them tried to pull, Nick and Mary were ready at every turn! I am beyond grateful that God blessed me with the best divorce lawyer in the state of TN... that I could afford.

As an attorney who has interacted with attorneys on a daily basis for more than fifteen years, I was so impressed with the hard work and enormous amount of time Nick spent on my case! Nick made every effort to work out my case at the lowest cost and time possible. However, when my ex-husband fail...ed to negotiate, Nick was ready without hesitation to fight on my behalf. Nick was always available to respond to my questions or concerns. Not only was he extremely prepared for court but he also ensured that I too was prepared for court. I felt as though I was in the best hands throughout the process. I so appreciate the way I was treated by everyone at the Rice firm! I, also, am so grateful for the care that he took with my case. I would, without hesitation, highly recommend Nick Rice to anyone in need of an attorney for divorce or child custody/ support issues.

One of the best phone calls I ever made was to the office of Nick Rice. I was in a legal nightmare at the time with contempt issues that needed to filed against my ex-husband. I had come to a dead end with another attorney, and was referred by a friend to Nick. After my first visit with Nick, I kn...ew immediately that I had finally found an attorney who was willing to attack the problem head on. Additionally, Nick uncovered additional issues that were also not in compliance with the divorce decree. No one else I had hired to that point had discovered these additional problems that were extremely important. Nick's knowledge of the law and his dedication to his clients is extraordinary! He is clever, intelligent, steadfast, well-spoken and confident. Nick and his staff developed excellent strategies to approach the numerous issues that we were faced with, and additionally, they were never intimidated by opposing counsel and quickly picked up on many inaccuracies that were presented by opposing counsel. Nick was always quick to return emails and phone calls, and he always explained everything so that I always knew exactly what was going on and what options we had. He always made sure I thoroughly understood what the pros and cons would be to any actions that we would take. When we went to court, Nick and his staff were beyond amazing in how well they were prepared. Nick did an outstanding job in the courtroom, and he gave me peace of mind throughout the entire process. I have nothing but high praise for Nick and his staff. I am extremely grateful for all he did for me.

My divorce case began in November 2010. I had a very problematic wife who consistently delayed the divorce process with her antics. Since November 2010, I went through the process of several different consultations and hiring and firing 3 attorneys from, Miles Mason, Cordell & Cordell, and Cordts L...aw Firm. During my time as their client I saw zero results come from them. Whenever my wife would cause an issue they would give in to her. I was emotionally and physically strained every time I had to pay a bill to a lawyer that wasn’t making things happen. Then I met with Mr. Nick Rice. After discussing my case, with confidence he accepted my case and I hired him. After 13 months of dealing with the emotional, financial and overall stress that is attached to a divorce, Mr. Nick Rice was able to completely get all of the issues settled in less than 4 months with me coming out better than I had expected financially and with a parenting plan that was best for my children. Rice, Amundsen & Caperton is by far the most professional law firm I have dealt with. Mr. Nick Rice and his team were supportive and never failed to return my calls, explain exactly what was going on, and give me the support I needed. There are lawyers and then there are LAWYERS. You can’t guarantee anything but with Mr. Nick Rice as my LAWYER I was able to feel comfortable about how my case was being handled. I felt that he was fighting for me and my children as if it was his neck on the line. I am writing this in hopes that someone in my situation will have a lead to the right lawyer, instead of having to spend more money than necessary and going through several.
