TESTIMONIALS

What Our Clients Are Saying

Bar none the premier family/divorce law team in town! I wouldn’t consider having anyone else represent me!

I recently had the pleasure of using Attorney Amanda Busby and Attorney Heather Anderson. Both were prompt in their responses, kind, caring and very knowledgeable. I value their counsel so much. I highly recommend this firm to anyone.

I work for a local developer and property manager, and we use Bernstein, Stair & McAdams for most all our legal needs. From lease negotiation to brownfield remediation, Caesar Stair IV helps guide us through the many mazes we encounter in our business. He’s knowledgeable and extremely responsive. He and his entire firm come with our highest recommendation.

My family will be forever grateful for the representation we received from Haleigh Chastain and Allison E. Alexander. Their combined knowledge, and professional responsiveness, resulted in the very best outcome for our case. I strongly recommend their team for any legal needs.

Outstanding Attorney!  Could not have asked for nor received better legal representation. Ms. Anderson has excellent communication skills. She was without exception able to answer my questions promptly and to my satisfaction. Her representation provided me with a favorable outcome. Not only a favorable outcome, but one to my specifications. Without hesitation I would recommend Ms. Anderson to anyone seeking legal assistance.

This is the third time I, or my family, have used BSM for legal help. Every time we have been pleased with their counsel, compassion, and the best outcome under the circumstances. Most recently, Jon Fromke worked with us, and did an outstanding job. Highly recommend the firm, and Mr. Fromke. 

These guys are serious about the Art of Law! Heather Anderson and Tyler Chastain are focused, compassionate and aggressive when they need to be, and have helped my business out several times over the years. I highly recommend this firm.

Matt McDonald had done a great job. He is thorough, works to understand the details and his research has been supportive of moving it towards a conclusion. Allison Easterday represented me on another issue and she did an excellent job as well. And finally, Heather Anderson represented me on another issue and also did a great job. I would trust Heather with any issue. 

Scott Taylor meets the highest standards of our profession and the even higher standards that exist in the Knoxville Bar. I would trust this man as my attorney.

Karen Crutchfield is an excellent corporate litigation and employment law defense attorney. We have used Karen for over 20 years and she has a strong ethical and moral compass, always working hard for the client while maintaining integrity and trust. We would not even consider using anyone other than Karen, we highly recommend her and the firm.

Great law firm. Aggressive, knowledgeable and client-centered.

I have had Charles H. Child represent me for over a decade on business & personal matters. He is the most knowledgeable & ethical & understanding attorney I have ever worked with. I would highly recommend him over anyone in his field of law based on my personal experiences.
