Divorce isn't easy

Brett Talley handled my divorce with just the right combination of empathy, pragmatism and humor (I needed the last one). Throughout the process of publication I was kept informed and when I was told I would have to 'pay' for a surrogate to represent my runaway husband and make another attempt to con...tact him I exploded and Bret helped look for alternatives. Overall, his representation was seamless, informed and always transparent. He was easy to contact, returned phone calls within 24 hours and did not bill for incremental minutes to simply provide a three minute update. He stayed within our established budget, explained fees and costs and his staff with extremely helpful. My divorce went smoothly and ultimately as I wanted it, as painlessly as was possible under the circumstances. I will hopefully never need his services again, but if I need them this is where I would go.

Thank you Mr Talley!

Guest & Gray represented me in my divorce. Brett Talley helped my husband and I get divorced per our agreement in a cost and time efficient manner. In addition he helped make a difficult time much more manageable. I would recommend Brett and Guest & Gray if you need help with an agreed divorce.

THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE FOR A PROFESSIONAL !

Guest & Gray represented me in a debt collection case and helped me avoid paying anything to the creditor. Brett Talley came highly recommended, and was my attorney. I listened to friends and family and tried to handle this myself...epic fail...there is no substitute for a professional ! I would reco...mmend Guest & Gray if you need help defending a debt collection lawsuit.

Great advice for my small business.

A few years back I started a small business without any understanding of the legal ins-and-outs involved. The venture started to blossom after three years, and without consulting someone in the legal field, I agreed to surrender half of my business to a "friend" in exchange for their assistance manag...ing this business. Less than six months into the "new agreement," this "friend" decided that they didn't have the time or interest to continue assisting with the business and asked to be bought out as partner, but also wanted to retain a stake in the business. As you can see, my naivete got me into a frustrating debacle, and I had no clue how to approach the situation. During the initial conversation with Mr. Talley, I found him friendly, easy to talk to and genuinely interested in providing me with the necessary guidance I needed for this situation. After a few email exchanges and phone conversations in which Mr. Talley gathered as much information as possible, he presented to me with what he thought was the best way to approach the situation. While the outcome didn't come out 100% in my favor, based on the fact I had a written contract in place, Mr. Talley's advice led to an amicable agreement with this "friend" resulting in me minimizing the damages and reacquiring this business in full. I'm very thankful for the time and effort that Mr. Talley spent with my situation. Like I previously noted, he was kind, easy to speak to, eager to provide the advice and most importantly:reliable. I have no reservations in recommending Mr. Talley's services for those who need legal assistance and/or advice. Thank you very much, Mr. Talley.

Thanks You!!

Brett helped us with our wills. We have a minor child and I want to know that he will be taken care of completely by the person we chose to leave him too. I have heard thru numerous people that if its not clearly stated where your minor child should be they then become a ward of the state. Not wantin...g to take that chance whether it be true or not, we needed something more concrete. Brett has answered all of our questions to the best of his knowledge and if he didn't know he did the research and came back to us with the right answers. I've known Brett my entire life, I wouldn't trust anybody else with the big decisions that come in preparing this document. I will definitely use Brett for any other legal matters! Thanks!!
