I would not recommend working with Ms. Amonette. I cannot adequately express my disappointment…read morewith Ms. Amonette as an attorney. She was unreliable, extremely slow at responding, and at some points would completely ignore my e-mails even after several attempts to outreach. As an attorney with a $400/hr rate I found this completely unacceptable and frankly pathetic. She is nothing but kind and warm when accepting your initial $6000 retainer but after that her communication and everything else goes downhill. Whenever she did respond to my outreach she made sure to charge $40-100 for every little quick response she sent even though no traction was being made on my case. My ex and I decided to go to a neutral mediator who helped us out because we were so tired of paying money to lawyers to not feel like we were getting anywhere. After working with a mediator and getting all of our affairs buttoned up (parenting plan, child support, assets) signed sealed and delivered to her she still did absolutely nothing to move the case forward. I even received a call from the court in my county threatening to close the divorce case because they had been reaching out to Ms. Amonette and had not heard anything back from her despite the fact that she had all of the documents that we had to get prepared with the mediator in her possession for over 2 weeks. I finally made the decision to fire Ms. Amonette as I was done with the lack of communication and progress. When I sent the email terminating her services for once in my experience with her her response was prompt and I received the remainder of my retainer back early the next week. I used just a small portion of that retainer to hire a flat rate divorce attorney who had gotten the divorce finalized in less than 2 weeks of receiving the docs that my ex and I had already signed off on. I was furious that she had made it seem like there was so much left to do and I am confident that she would have dragged everything on to deplete my retainer for months. I believe that she is the quintessential money hungry lawyer and that her bread and butter are the big money cases and if you are a regular upper middle class client she will push you to the absolute bottom of the priority list. The mediator that I worked with told me that she just got another client of Ms. Amonette's who came to her just as frustrated as I did with the lack of communication and progress. I usually don't write reviews but I felt a deep obligation to women, especially moms who are thinking of hiring Ms. Amonette. When you are already trying to struggle to figure out what to do in the midst of all of the turmoil that divorce brings, the last thing you need is a divorce attorney like Kristen who will not only leave you confused about the process but will leave you penniless if she has the chance. If you're rich and just need someone to bulldog your ex you'll likely be fine, everybody else RUN.

I have made so many mistakes using low cost and do it yourself legal services. Finally, I found a…read morefirm that I trust. While not low cost or inxpensive, Kristen Amonette got me the results I was desperately needing. It is true, you get what you pay for.... In this town of Nashville, connections with others is what drives results, and Mrs. Amonette knows everyone worth knowing. What impressed me most was her ability to manage my expectations. Her attention to detail was impeccable at a time when my entire world felt like it was completely scrambled. Hiring Mrs. Amonette was the best decision I made and my life has been back to the fast track of success ever since.

Will not stand up for you as a client and they will back down when at a cross-roads. When you envision an attorney, you picture the man or woman fighting for you - that won't happen here. Hindsight is always 20/20, I should have retained different counsel after the first two suggestions given, but I didn't because I didn't know any better. I trusted their group, and they didn't deliver. Out of all the money lost in my divorce, the only payout the stings is knowing his law firm received anything for doing nothing. I could have represented myself and achieved a better outcome. That screams, look elsewhere. - Let me also add as I can't comment back to the comment made. Ryan - you can factually come state your case for truthful events that took place. It doesn't negate the comments you as an attorney made. It doesn't negate the lack of investment you showed in the case. Yes the case resolved at mediation, yes it was a long process. Those two things happening don't justify or eliminate your actions.

Mr "Crafty" filed it in such a carefully timed manner that I had about 24 hours to pull together a retainer or face having custody of my daughters stripped from me at Christmas. Since Rachel represented me with success in the divorce she contacted me immediately, otherwise I might not have known about the filing until it was too late.
