After graduating from West Virginia University in 1986 (magna cum laude,
with a degree in philosophy of comparative religions concentration), I
graduated from the University of Tennessee College of Law in 1992
(Dean's List), not intending to be a lawyer.
Realizing that I needed a marketable degree, though, I decided to
attend law school, but to do environmental clean up law in Oak Ridge
for DOE on some of their environmental clean ups. Later, after
experiencing a painful divorce myself in 1997, I believed I could
develop a practice that would allow clients a more comfortable and
affordable setting (with predictable fees), and began my private
practice of law in 1998 while working for more than seven years for DOE
contractors.
My father - before passing away - told me two
big secrets to his successful practice of law that many attorneys
overlook: run your practice like a business, and do your research.
Keeping his tips in mind at all times, we quickly realized that my
clients could benefit greatly by what we offer, so I decided to expand to
offer primarily agreed divorces, at discount rates, but endeavoring to provide high
quality representation and communication. By primarily focusing on one area of
practice - and working like a machine - we endeavor to consistently
offer sound advice and have your divorce heard without attorney caused
delays.
The rest, as they say, is history. I now believe we
file more agreed divorces than any other firm in the state, while still
providing an individualized, comfortable approach. My clients
consistently leave thanking and hugging us from the bottom of their
hearts by minimizing the discomfort inherent in their divorce. In
fact, our clients greatly appreciate the comfortable and sympathetic
setting in which we practice and routinely leave comforted and, yes,
even laughing (I'll tell you funny stories of other cases, while never
breaking my duty of confidentiality).
We believe you will
also appreciate our philosophy - low costs, high efficiency,
thoroughness, promptness, friendliness, patience and high quality
service. We think you will leave pleasantly surprised by our approach.
We
explain thoroughly to you the way your agreed divorce should unfold,
what to expect and how we work - all in writing to ensure you have the
information.
