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.

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.

outstanding attorney

Beth is an outstanding attorney. She has only been practicing for a short time but she was extremely knowledgeable about my case. She was prompt in her response to my inquiries,and exhibited an understanding of the issues in my case that most attorneys with twice her years of experience do not have.... I would recommend her highly and without reservation.

Beth cares and she is so knowledgeable!

Beth handled my divorce and custody case. I really felt that she cared about not only my case, but about me and my children personally. She was reachable and kept me informed. My situation was much less painless than it could have been had it not been for her help!

Review of Beth Shipley on Will Garner's case

Beth Shipley handled my son's case ... he is 19 and she was excellent at explaining the situation to him. She listened intently to what happened and did not condescend in the least. He is charged with underage consumption. She has talk us through the process and is as available to us as we need. ...I would highly recommend her for whatever legal service you might need she is very knowledgeable.
