No talk

She claimed up in the court room. After showing up 30 minutes. Late to the first court date. The judge was not happy at all.

CPA, CFE, JD, Sr. Regulatory Insurance Specialist

I am a dear longtime family friend & legal colleague of Beth Shipley. We graduated law school together & studied together often. Beth is very knowledgeable about the law & works very hard to represent her clients with passion & sincere dedication! I am a CPA as well, & am willing to work with Beth... on client financial issues, with no hesitation, if she or her client needed my assistance. I am very sure she will represent any client with true compassion & fight hard for their success, in any litigation. I have consulted with Beth concerning some legal employment issues.

I have known Beth for over 20 years. She has always proven to be a hard worker. Beth takes her job seriously and always treats her clients with respect and courtesy. I have used her in the past and plan to again if the need arises

Best Divorce Attorney in Cookeville

I have had the privilege of utilizing Ms. Shipley's legal expertise on multiple occasions, all with highly positive results. I found Ms. Shipley to be attentive to my needs, readily available for me at any time, and aggressive in pursing the very best outcome for me in every situation. Her legal acum...en is one of the highest degree and parallel to any attorney found in the most prestigious of firms. Her vigorous defense of my divorce, which was quite involved, has proven her to be my Attorney of choice in all matters going forward and I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking legal advice. Best attorney in Cookeville in my opinion and I am grateful to have had her on my side.

Thankful beyond words

I consulted with Ms. Shipley last fall regarding some post divorce issues I was having . She was very professional in her advice but at the same time very compassionate about the situation. It has been a very difficult time for me, financially and emotionally, and she advised me sincerely on both end...s of the spectrum. I have come out of situation with a better grasp on things, and a better knowledge of what is permissible and legally right. I wish more attorneys had the knack to get down to people's level when they feel they are at such a low point as I was like Ms. Shipley does. I am so extremely thankful for what I was able to accomplish because of her!!!!
