What would you choose -- A law office and attorney that appears cold and uncaring or a comfortable relaxed office and an attorney who listens and genuinely cares about helping you resolve the problems you are facing?

Our office is located in a renovated home which was built in 1934 – in a time very similar to the economic times we are currently experiencing. Times are difficult. The unemployment rate is high. Budgets are strained. Trying times often magnify family conflicts.

The atmosphere in our office is warm and friendly. It is our desire that everyone who enters our office feel comfortable and at ease. We believe our job is to minister to your needs – providing legal counsel and personal attention as you deal with sensitive family issues. It is important for you to be informed and understand the process and the law related to your specific situation. You need an attorney you trust and an attorney that you believe will FIGHT FOR YOU.

We have over 25 years of experience serving the communities of Wilson, DeKalb, Smith, Trousdale, Macon, Sumner and Rutherford counties. We have helped clients from all walks of life steer their way through the often confusing issues of family law. Just ask our assistant, Celeste—not only is she an invaluable member of our team; she is also a former client.
