This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

the best lawyers to EFF your ex husband

Kara and Kelley, did a great job of representing my ex in our divorce. they got my ex the lions share and F&%$ed my so unbelievably hard in the courtroom. but also made it a wonderful experience. they were always professional and I enjoyed every interaction I had with both of these girls. I hope this... review will help them get clients they can feel good about defending instead of ones like my ex. that want them to hurt on their behalf. I'm certain they didn't feel good about what they had to do. but they did their job and got their client the best possible outcome. I highly recommend Kara and Kelley for their legal services

Probate process professional

As executor of a friend's estate in Williamson County, I needed guidance through the probate process. The entire firm did an exceptional job from beginning to end -- even with the additional challenges of a pandemic! All were personable, professional, and knowledgable in just how to manage each step ...of the way. I would highly recommend Mrs. Jones and her team for anyone seeking legal counsel in her practice area.

Above and Beyond Excellent Care

Ms. Jones is kind, thoughtful, and diligent. She and her staff took care of our legal needs swiftly. We are very pleased with the results. The rates are perfectly reasonable for the professionalism and responsiveness of everyone in this office. We especially liked the “Kara Package “ of cookies to ce...lebrate the conclusion. (No guarantee of cookies to all clients, just saying we liked ours.)

Getting a will is actually easy!

I have put off doing a will for years and was referred to Kara by another lawyer I trust. It felt overwhelming at first but she made it easy and simple. I was in and out in an hour and it's all done. Don't be afraid that doing a will is too involved or you don't have time. I was surprised that it... was more affordable than I thought too.

Outstanding Service

My whole estate planning experience with Kara and her team was great. The entire staff was personable from the first point of contact with Journey to the execution of the documents and they made it a very seamless process. Kara is very knowledgeable, thorough and accommodating as I needed her an...d her team to expedite the documents and they went out of their way to make that happen. I highly recommend Kara and I won't hesitate to use her services again.
