I was referred to Kristen by a very trusted individual, and I'm thankful I was. I was so terrified and an emotional wreck when I called Kristen's office to request a consult and she was thankfully able to get me in same day. She was very professional, yet down-to-earth where I didn't feel like "just some other divorce case" sitting in her office. Kristen helped inform me of the process, the laws of our county and continued to be very detailed throughout the entire case. Unfortunately the other side of my divorce cost us both more money and time than it should have taken to settle, due to the attorney he hired. It definitely pays to have someone on your side that knows family law inside and out, and has a lot of experience. I couldn't have imagined going through it without Kristen in my corner!
As you can imagine meeting and working with a family attorney isn't always under the most calm and optimal of circumstances. I met and interviewed with 5 of the top attorneys in Nashville. Kristin made one of the most difficult times in my life manageable. Her professionalism, counsel, patience, and overall approach to the entire process was extraordinary. I felt completely at ease and know that I absolutely made the right decision to work with her.
Joshua represented me in my divorce and in the years since then as my ex-husband and I have co-parented our children. He was always prepared, professional and thorough. When I walk into his office he has briefed himself on my history and background and is ready for any question I might bring. He is a good listener and a thoughtful, caring person. In addition he's expert in his field, especially with the international aspect of my divorce. I give him my highest recommendation.
Divorce was new to me. As a father seeking custody of his three young girls, I didn't know what to expect. I didn't know where to turn. All I knew is that I had children that were at risk and I needed help.nnFortunately, I was given Joshua's name by someone I trusted deeply, and from the very first phone call it was clear I'd be in good hands with Joshua.nnHis attentiveness, and attention to detail always made me feel like I was his only client. If I had a question or needed to talk and reached out, he was ALWAYS there for me. On average, his response time could be measured not in days or even hours but in MINUTES. Which is exactly what you want and need during such trying times. Quick, Clear, and Concise feedback. Always.nnAt each step of the way, Joshua did an exceptional job of laying out each option available, and how each one could impact me as the father to my 3 young girls.nnHis experience gave him the ability to keep me from being surprised along the way. He was great at managing my expectations throughout the process. An absolute necessity for anyone hoping to come out the other side in one piece.nnGiven the stakes at hand, and long-term implications, I needed the best and I am 100% certain I had that in Joshua. I am forever grateful for the wonderful support and counsel I received from Joshua and all that he was able to do for me and my girls. He is the best. Period.
I hired Ms. Amonette for a child support case. I explained my financial situation and the max I could devote to resolving the issue. Like the other reviewer, in my initial encounter I was impressed with her professionalism and enthusiasm for my case. nnUnfortunately, my first impression was NOT consistent with the remainder of my experience.nnShe was NOT timely in advancing the case. Her delay in filing an initial action cost me over nine months of back child support. I had to prompt her with e-mails (with SECOND / THIRD REQUEST in the subject lines) documenting what she had promised to do by when. At one point I was so exasperated that I reached out to the attorney who recommended her to ask if she might be ill. Sadly, my reminders of missed deadlines did not move her to action, perhaps due to her apparent lack of interest in my issue. nnAt one point in the case she arrived for a hearing and left because my ex-did not show up promptly at the scheduled start time. (He was 15 minutes late.) Because she did not wait 15 minutes, I experienced yet another 30+ days delay and lost even more potential child support income.nnMonths into the ordeal, she did a very nice job deposing my ex, but ultimately recommended I accept a settlement that did not allow me to "break even" after paying her fees. nnIn my experience, her biggest concern is getting paid for every minute of time she works. She charged me over $1,000 and took over six weeks to "research" the issue before ever taking action on my behalf. This should have been a HUGE red flag.nnShe was a HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT.
