Samuel Jason Whatley Sr.

Hiring Jason Whatley is the worst choice I could have made. He dragged my case out for 3 years, fleeced me for over $22,000, told me he could get me out of paying child support for my disabled daughter even though I had no legal grounds, embarrassed himself in front of TWO Williamson County judges be...cause he was glaringly unprepared, and more. I have no idea where he put my $22,000+ because it was definitely not hours he spent on my case. In the end, I had to pay my ex-wife’s attorney’s fees. Get someone else. ANYone else.

My wife and I had hired several attorneys before finding Mr. Cory Ricci. All previous attorneys we had done business with in regards to our custody case were horrible. They were unprepared, un responsive and very unprofessional. To say we felt robbed was an understatement. Then enters Mr. Ricci, from... the moment we consulted with him we could tell he was different. He was very compassionate to our concerns, to our case. He was very professional the entire time we worked with him. Never was he unprepared for a court appearance or a meeting with us. Not once did he ignore us or make us feel like we weren’t important. He was very responsive to every communication we had with him. He explained every step in detail in a way we could understand. He made us feel like we were his only client. Even though he was very busy. The kindness and compassion be showed not only my wife and I, but also our children was second to none. He showed us the love of Christ in our entire case. I highly recommend!

Jason and Cory took on my divorce and child custody case after two previous attorneys pillaged $60k from me and left me high and dry less than 30 days before the first trial date. My court battle lasted roughly 3-1/2 years. Jason and Cory took over about 1-1/2 years into it. I know a lot of atto...rneys. Of all of them, there are only 3 whom I would even allow into my house and that is NOT hyperbole. Jason and Cory are two of them. In my first or second meeting with Jason, he looked me square in the eye and told me that if I lied to him he would no longer represent me. I knew then that I was in the right place and talking with a very good man. Cory jumped into my case shortly after Jason agreed to represent me. If you are looking for someone who will be unethical, thug other people, hide your lies, or in any other way turn a blind eye, Jason and Cory are not for you. If you are seeking an attorney who will stand up for you, not allow you to get abused by the court or opposing counsel, who knows not only the current laws but also a wealth of case law, then you need to hire Jason or Cory. Or, if your case is seemingly an impossible obstacle to overcome, as mine was, then hire them both to work together on your behalf. I have lived my life in such a way as to not need to look over my shoulder because of how I have treated others. I sleep well at night, every night, with a clear conscience. After spending countless hours with Jason and Cory, poring over details and facts and years with them in courts, my conscience is still entirely clear because I know we fought hard and we fought completely clean. I am a follower of Jesus and how I treat others is paramount to who I am. Not only do Jason and Cory refuse to engage in dirty fighting but also stand as two guardrails to bounce you back into the lane of ethical and healthy perspective when you get lost in the emotional chaos of a court battle. I went through the hardest years of my life to this point with Jason and Cory running point for me. To force the truth of my case through the avalanche of lies and bias, under which my case had been buried by opposing counsel (an exceedingly unethical ambulance chaser of an attorney out of Nashville), required tenacity, logistical prowess, tremendous knowledge of the law, and, most importantly, an attorney who practiced law because of a driven passion for preventing and correcting injustice. And that is precisely what Jason and Cory brought to the table and the courtrooms on my behalf. Jason and Cory tirelessly conquered unjust obstacles on my behalf for over two years so that, in my opinion, we could force the court to deal with only the bare naked truth of the facts of my case instead of recklessly ruling against me based on a litany of utterly false allegations. Jason and Cory tenaciously proved false allegations to be false and forced the truth to the surface and, in so doing, they won me primary custody of my children. My court battles are behind me now. My children and I are back on our feet now. Without Jason and Cory, that would not have happened. To this day I trust them both without question and am proud to call them my friends.

Jason never answers calls and he never calls back when clients call. He gives his cell phone nunber out like he's going to be easy to get ahold of but he's lying. He won't ever answer clients calls. He also does not try that hard on cases and charges way too much. I have friends who spent like over $...10 thousand and didnt get anything done. I dont know what he charges for but he just keeps asking for more money and he doesnt do anything. me and my friends who have used him could not ever get him to get anything done. He just keeps doing things over and over but he does the same things over and over and charges for them even though he's not doing anything new or really acomplishing anything. My case went on for over two years and I had to call him all teh time and I never got to talk to him his office staff tells me he will call back but he never does and then they call and ask for more money. Don't waste your money.
