Tanya Lea Akins

Tanya has been an outstanding attorney and by far someone I will never forget. From the moment that I had my first consultation with her, she instantly put my troubled heart at ease with her calm, wise, and thoughtful counsel. Tanya always treated my case with kindness, understanding, and sensitivity..., which was exactly what I needed during a time of heightened emotions and stress. Tanya has never ceased to be anything less than kind-hearted, compassionate, wise, understanding, trustworthy and incredibly intelligent throughout this entire process. I could go on and on! I was thoroughly blessed to have her in my corner because I knew that she was authentically fighting for me and my daughter. Tanya was so attentive to every detail related to my case, and because of that, I could ALWAYS trust Tanya to accurately say anything on my behalf to opposing counsel. Tanya is also so intelligent, she is such a quick thinker and always thoughtful while giving advice on the many tough decisions I had to face. Not to mention, her work ethic is outstanding, even while on maternity leave Tanya was still heavily involved throughout my case and I knew I could always call on her for anything. She never appeared shaken by the opposing counsel and always carried herself gracefully, and with such knowledge, authority, and confidence. Tanya feels like more than an attorney, she feels like a true friend, and because of this, I will NEVER forget her role in helping me settle this complicated case. While I would never wish family law litigation on anyone, I would highly recommend Tanya to anyone who needs legal representation in a family matter. God bless you, Tanya :)

Tanya is an absolutely excellent attorney who does not pull any punches. When a question is asked of her, a straight and easy to understand answer is given. Tanya's expertise in social work and the collaborative approach has given her an unmatchable ability to stick to the issues at hand and not wast...e time in needless argument. When senseless argument or unwarranted adversarial position is presented, Tanya quickly brings the situation back to reality. She has a mind that thinks far ahead which helps mitigate issues and keep some from opposition from happening at all. Tanya is a generous, helpful and caring individual with wonderful legal talent. The level that she cares for children and their true best interests is commendable and she is very successful at reminding the opposing party that anything else is unreasonable. Tanya is a trustworthy person and does not seek to bankrupt anyone financially or emotionally. Tanya has proven to be an excellent attorney who can acheive excellent results even when faced by opposition who would stop at nothing to lie, cheat or steal their way to a win. Tanya's representation proved ethical, fair, wise and tough which results in resolution instead of continued argument. Her reputation is excellent and she was able to point out details that proved the opposition was unreasonable and deceitful, proving her resolve and dedication. Confidence is well placed in Tanya's abilities and expertise. I would recommend her to anyone. The best interests and well being of my family has benefitted en masse due to Tanya's help.

Tanya treated me in a professional manner, and yet, throughout this ordeal, I knew she personally cared about me. I knew she was focused and experienced and hard working and knowledgeable. There were a couple of instances when she turned to others for information/opinions, which I respected. I comp...liment her for that. I liked knowing Tanya was one individual in a firm of many, with resources at her fingertips. That was comforting. I had complete faith in her, and she did an excellent job for me.

Tanya has represented me for the last two plus years. She is highly trustworthy, brilliant legal mind and cares for families. She is highly regarded within the courts and other professionals. She is calm, listens and steers me in the right direction. She loves my son and wants the best for him. ... She inspires me to stand up and do the right thing (BTW…it is worth it). She is very prepared on all levels. I recommend Tanya to my friends, family and colleagues.
