Carlie M. Owsley

I am not sure 4000 words is enough to fully express my overwhelming joy! Our story is very long and disturbing. It involves a little boy whose father died and mother was being controlled by drugs, this little boy is my nephew. DCS snatched him up almost 2 years ago. I would like to believe that ...they felt they were doing the right thing however that is when the emotional abuse started and an upward rollercoaster ride began. I fought for almost a year in a system that I could not comprehend, couldn't possibly believe at times. Us, his family was not given the time of day, we were ignored most of the time and treated like second class citizens the rest of the time. Needless to say this was a fight that wore heavily on my family and me. Hard to understand how our state says they stand for "Families First" and "Families Helping Families" yet they had no interest in helping my nephew and my family. We are a good family with plenty of room for another child and more love than any child could ever need. Being that I am mild mannered, shy, respectful and very mindful of others situation, made our case even worse because they took advantage of my temperament. When I saw that doing the right thing was not getting us very far I decided to hire Carlie Owsley. Carlie was that FIREBALL that we needed. She was not afraid and was very confident and committed to getting justice for my nephew. I was amazed at how quickly she learned about our case. I had close to 500 emails to DCS that she had to go through. The court did not want us speaking but Carlie pushed her way in and BOY did she speak. She rattled off about three pages of notes she took when meeting us for the first time. She made sure she was heard. We finally had a voice in court and a smart, swift and loud voice too. We found out about a month later that we WON! My nephew finally has a safe, secure and loving home to go home to. Carlie called me personally to tell me the news. Her enthusiasm and love for her clients is unmatched! Thanks Carlie! You will be blessed dearly for your work. I would recommend Carlie to anyone who needs a strong presence in court!

When going through a child custody/visitation battle - emotions run high and confusion even more so. The Owsley team was understanding and able to explain clearly and walk us through all the necessary steps in our case. They were diligent in providing excellent service and advised us on items we coul...d complete ourselves to save money. They are definitely worth hiring and broke my thoughts that all lawyers are out for the money. They truly care about their clients and cases and treated us like we were family. We will definitely be working with them again, if needed.

Going through a divorce is a nerve wracking and emotional experience, more than I could have ever anticipated. Anytime I had questions or fears, Carlie was there with the right answer. Carlie was very proactive in getting my case on track and showed that she and her firm had things under control from... the beginning. I felt very safe letting them handle my divorce, and with the insights and experience she exhibited, I never worried that I made the wrong choice in a lawyer.
