Guide to Memphis Lawyers- Divorce

Divorce, Family, Child Custody, Juvenile

Divorce, Family, Child Custody, and Juvenile are all usually considered the same areas of law and practitioners would overlap in all of them. The one most common misunderstanding I’ve seen to be wary of is to understand that until divorce papers are signed, it’s a contested divorce. If divorce papers end up not being signed, you will pay additional money considerably in excess of the original quote.

I organized this list in no particular level of skill order, but in terms of expense/reputation. (To be honest I believe that skill is only especially important in the most of expensive and contested of cases, its mainly a will get it done/won’t get it done thing.) I would start at the top of list if you have a large budget and expect a lot of wrangling. The bottom if it’s more uncontested and smaller budget. That’s more a reflection of the market niche of the firms than anything else. The most important thing is finding the firm that handles your type of Memphis Family Law Matter.

Larry Rice – www.aboutdivorce.com – Definitely, not the most well liked divorce lawyer in Memphis, but possibly the most well respected in a grudging sort of way. Known for knowing what he’s doing and being aggressive and has written and lectured extensively on divorce and family law.

Butler Reid Sevier – www.bshrlaw.com – Recently formed by attorneys that I respect a good deal.

Landers Firm – www.landersfirm.com – Known for being a good family matters firm exclusively.

Bob Weiss – www.bobweisslaw.net – An experienced reasonable practitioners.

Stuart Breakstone – www.breakstonelawoffice.com – In our dealings, I’d be surprised if Stuart doesn’t still harbor ill feelings towards me for the trying to destroy him thing, but I acquired a grudging respect for him in the process. He definitely tries to take care of his clients.

Charles Rich – www.charlierichlaw.com – A lot of experience in juvenile court especially.

Cohn Law Firm – www.cohnlawfirm.com – Mostly I ‘d recommend for uncontested matters as his firm covers a lot of areas. However, I’ve been very impressed in my contested dealings with him.

Ferrell Law Firm – www.lawferrell.com – Primarily a good firm for simpler less expensive divorce.
