Four kinds of case, each with one flat fee
We take cases two people can mostly agree on. If yours needs a trial, we'll say so on the first call and give you names of lawyers who take them.
Agreed divorce
Both of you sign the papers. We draft the agreement, file it and get the final decree, without anyone standing in a courtroom.

Who has the children when, how school and doctor decisions get made, and how you hand off. Written so it still works in March.

A new job, a lost job, a child who moved. We recalculate support under the state guidelines and file the change.

Before the wedding or after it: what stays separate, what you share, and what happens to both. We represent one of you.

Questions
Questions we hear on most first calls
Do I ever have to come to an office?
No. Meetings are video calls, papers are signed electronically or by mail, and most agreed cases end without a court appearance. When a judge does want to see you, many courts allow it by video; if yours doesn't, we'll be there with you.
What does a flat fee leave out?
The court's filing fee, which depends on the county, and a parenting class if the court requires one. A contested hearing or a trial is not part of any package. If an agreed case stops being agreed, we pause and quote the next stage in writing before doing more work.
My spouse and I agree on most things, not everything. Is that agreed?
Often, yes. Most couples start with two or three open questions. We help you close them in writing. If one of them needs a judge to decide, we'll tell you on the first call.
Can you represent both of us?
No. We represent one spouse. The other is welcome to read everything, and to have their own lawyer review it before signing.
Do you take cases outside Nashville?
Yes. We work with clients in every county in the state, and the fee is the same wherever you live.
