I would highly recommend looking elsewhere if you expect any kind of compassion or understanding concerning your case. I was charged $250/hour. 7 months and $5,400 later, they withdrew from my case 3 weeks before the scheduled trial and the week before Christmas because I expressed my unhappiness with their lack of communication and failure to inform me of what was going on with my case. There was never an attempt to call me or schedule a meeting once I told them I wasn't happy with their work via email. Their immediate response was to withdraw. This was a stepparent adoption case that was initially filed in July of 2018 so it held a lot of emotion for my family. They didn't seem to care though. Perhaps the growth of their own family is hindering their practice and empathy towards the families they represent. Whatever the case, they drained our savings and crushed my daughter's heart without a 2nd thought, all the while claiming in was in my best interest. Shame on them and may karma reciprocate the pain they have caused my family.

Quality lawyers who really care about their clients. They go the extra mile to get the best results.

Prepare for a long detailed review. They are worth it!!
During my long exstensive divorce...I found my circumstances were much more severe than expected. I reached out to a retired Knox Co. judge informing him my current dissatisfaction with the enigma of my case and previous attorney (NOT Luke) and the outcome of our future. The judge encouraged and edified Luke Shipley as the best and most qualified to get me the outcome that I needed for the protection and safety of my daughter and I. I hired Luke who at the time was with another law firm. I quickly noticed he was doing far more exstensive research, work, and digging then what was recorded on the law firms invoices. The complexity of my case was heart breaking and confusing. The paper trail alone was enough to cause high anxiety but not for Luke. Luke was fluid in his knowledge and expertise of the law able to stay ahead of the opponent. He brought in his powerful wife who was able to shed light on the criminal aspect of the case. I was beyond thankful when Luke and Megan began their own practice. By this time, Luke had already fixed the mess the previous attorney had made and began helping me undo all the emotional and mental control from my ex by shedding light on the truth and going to bat for me. He defended me, my daughter, and the law. Luke and Megan's code of ethics and financial practices are honest, hard working, and for the good of their clients. No one wants to go through the pain and loss of divorce...but when you do, it's GOOD to have attorneys who fight for you, listen to you, and understand you. Luke stayed balanced, informative, and was able to look at every angle to see what would protect us and secure our future while doing what was honorable and right according to the laws of TN. If I ever need an attorney again...Luke Shipley and Megan Swain will always be the attorneys I go with, recommend, and forever respect. Thank you both so much for the peace you've given to this mama's heart. I'm eternally grateful. It you need an attorney, no question...Hire "Shipley & Swain." They will care for you selflessly and respect your money. They will do what's best for you and all involved.

I never thought I’d actually like my lawyers, but here I am saying good things about them on the internet, my divorce could’ve been awful, but they made it okay. They were fair and honest, they knew their stuff; they got me good results, and I even got a refund.

Divorce sucks, they make it suck way less. I’m keeping these guys in my contacts in case I ever get married again.

Megan and Luke are amazing attorneys! They are always well prepared and well received by the court. I would strongly recommend them to you!

Luke has been so attentive during our adoption case. Very knowledgeable and understanding of all our needs and concerns. He has put such simplicity in this very happy time of our life! Definitely recommend.

They are not your usual heartless firm, that only cares about how much money they can get, they are worth every dime you pay. Mr. Shipley is compassionate, experienced, and gets the job done. He has gone over and above for my case.

I've never known an attorney to care so much about kids. They fought where they should, calmed me down when I got too workef up, and made sure that I was always comoftbale. I've never felt better in a worse time of my lofe.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you!!

I am very thankful to have found this team of attorneys! They were both wonderful to work with during my divorce. They were willing to listen, they understood my needs, and they helped me get thru a stressful process with ease. I appreciate their care and willingness to assist me anytime I had a need or question. I highly recommend them and I appreciate their assistance.

When I came to Luke, my custody case was a MESS. My previous attorney did not take my concerns about my child seriously. He wasn't a parent himself, and you could tell that he had no idea what it was like to have a child to protect. Luke fought with me to keep my child SAFE and happy. Our fight was full of ups and downs, but Luke was right there the whole way. I could tell he really "got it." This firm makes the fight their own, fighting FOR you and your children. I know my ex will be back to cause problems later, so I'm happy to know they will have our backs!

THEY WERE TRULY A BLESSING IN A HARD TIME. I THINK THEY'RE THE BEST IN TOWN AND I CAN'T THANK THEM ENOUGH FOR HELPING MY FAMILY AND CHARGING A FAIR PRICE

THANK YOU SO MUCH, GOD BLESS!!!!
