Hired Attorney David Brock East

He is a caring, hard-working lawyer that will represent you or your loved one as if it were the only case he'd be working. His patience and sincerity are one of his many qualities. I would recommend him to everyone I know. Even though I am not from Tennessee I had the pleasure of

Mr. East was helpful with explaining processes that can be confusing when you are not familiar with legal phrasing or possible courses of action.

Hired Attorney David Brock East

After struggling through one year of a divorce case and feeling like I was not being fully represented by my old attorney, I called on Mr. East. Mr. East was extremely professional and worked very quickly to get himself up to speed with my case. After only two weeks of preparation we went to trial and Mr. East did an outstanding job representing me. He was very thorough in his attack and arguments and I was very pleased with the outcome of my case. I highly recommend Brock East.

Hired Attorney C. Benjamin Lewis

Beware: Attorney Benjamin Lewis Delays Justice for Financial Gain. Benjamin Lewis was hired for my son’s custody case, he was seeking efficient legal representation. However, he prioritized profit over justice, disregarding the emotional well-being of three innocent children and a desperate young father. Lewis delayed proceedings for eight months, showing no regard for our case. Only when we turned to Attorney Scott Kimberley did we see progress. Kimberley delivered the results Lewis claimed were unattainable. Save yourself the headache and financial burden; avoid Benjamin Lewis if you value timely justice.

Hired Attorney C. Benjamin Lewis

I wish that I could leave less than a one star review. I have reached out to this law firm multiple times asking to speak with Benjamin. I spoke with Emily Mitchell as well. She stated that they were gonna go see my brother and talk to him. they never did. They never returned our phone calls. I understand that their caseload is heavy, but how can you represent a client? You don’t know anything about the them! Terrible, terrible terrible

Hired Attorney David Brock East

Brock East called my contractor dispute a “slam dunk” during the initial consultation, which led me to hire him and pay a retainer. That turned out to be very misleading. The case dragged on with document requests and a deposition that drove up legal fees. He repeatedly complained that the opposing lawyer was “not playing fair,” even though everything appeared to be within legal boundaries. Instead of adapting, he seemed unable to handle being outmaneuvered. When I questioned the rising costs, he became confrontational—raising his voice and suggesting no one else would help me. In the end, I had to push to drop the case because it was going to cost more than I could recover. The only person who benefited was Brock East, who walked away with about $5,000 while my case remained unresolved. I would not recommend his services.

Hired Attorney Mark Stephen Moore

I expect this review won't be published because it's not a positive one. This man was the trustee of my parents estate. The way he treated me was so deplorable that it affected me mentally and physically. He had total control over certain aspects of my life. I had no access to him at all. He refused any contact with me. Ever. Emergencies were met with a brick wall. I was never given information o on the status of the estate. I did t try to fight against the arrogance, the patronizing because at times i it made me physically sick. I'm writing this to try to prevent anyone from having to go through what i had to go through with him. If this is censored I'll be very concerned. There is no doubt he is at the top of his game and my experience with him may be an isolated incident but it's the truth and needs to be brought to l light. It never should have happened at all.
