Law Offices of LaFevor & Slaughter

Whatever you do do not use the law firm. They rip people off, They do not keep your file as confidential, And the person that bought this law firm is not even licensed in Tennessee to practice law. You’ve been warned. This place is under investigation by the Bar Association. My friend contacted them and let them know that she needed to pick up her file from them because they’re horrific as attorneys, They called her to let her know that her file is at some location in West Knoxville at a home healthcare place. WTH? Also, please make note That the names on that law firm were sold with that business. Those two specific attorneys have no relation at all to that practice. They are just destroying the names of the attorneys that sold them that practice.

I went to this law firm spoke to them about a custody case. They said they could help me, but I needed to put $5000 in an account as a deposit and they would deduct fees from that amount for services rendered I could never get a hold of the attorney to get information about my case but they would charge me per phone call per email and could never get any response so the money in my account kept dwindling down. I finally get a callback from a paralegal in the office that said there was nothing further that I could do in my custody case so I ceased all further information and fired the attorney firm and it has taken me four months to get the Funds-balance on my account paid back to me. I cannot get a respectable answer and I feel like they did me a disservice and just took my case on and took my money. This law firm takes advantage of people so if that’s the type of lawyer you want you found the right place, other than that, they did not help me out in any way shape or form. In fact, they were very unprofessional to be such educated lawyers.

Great bunch of folks to work with! I really appreciate everything Jason and his team did for me!

There aren’t enough words to express how grateful I am for Shelby and the team at this firm! From the very first call, Shelby made me feel heard and supported during what felt like an overwhelming situation. She was always quick to respond—whether it was a call, text, or email—and even reached out after hours just to check in and make sure I was feeling okay about everything.

This was my first time dealing with a legal issue, and I was nervous about the process, but she never made me feel like my questions were a burden. She walked me through every step with kindness and patience, and her professionalism and care made such a difference. If you’re looking for someone who truly has your back, I highly recommend Shelby and this wonderful team!

Highly recommend! Josh was very polite and professional in answering any questions I had. One of the best law firms around!

The team has been great to work with. Any time I have any questions/concerns Josh Collins seems to be completely on top of it. Would highly recommend this firm

Shelby does great work and clearly communicates the legal issues and court process. She answered all of my questions professionally and in a timely manner. I highly recommend this firm and Shelby!

These " attorneys " took 4 months to do what a small town lawyer did in 2 weeks. When we get to the court house to file, I was told it'll be around 120. We get to the desk it's like 350, so they didn't do their due diligence there. Now I'm getting threatening letters from the Chancery court because they were wrong on the fees yet again. I wouldn't let these guys represent my dog in a hydrant pissing case. I wish I could give 0 stars

So displeased! They will take your money, continue to bill you beyond belief, make you explain your story 3-5 different times to different attorneys there, charge you for it, say they’re aggressive, then not do anything to help, let months and months go by and barely communicate, and then drop you!

They charge you for every single little thing from them sending you your own statement/bill via email every other day, to calling to let you know an appointment is canceled and make you pay for it! Emailing them one email will cost you big even if it doesn’t require a response bc it’s to add to my file and takes them a few mins to read And they keep billing you for thousands of dollars when you haven’t seen a single thing be done in your case in months, then withdrawal from your case and send yet more bills afterward. 6 months wasted.
I recall Jason Hines even stated to me (a mom trying to get her daughter back from a temporary order put in place 3 years ago bc of twisted lies and manipulations) that he does what he does at work and at the end of the day will go home to his family and kids in peace and sleep like a baby, knowing how heartbroken I’ve been for years bc the other party kept filing motions of continuance until the court finally forced a trial date. But I have yet to see required mediation date and or have any attempt at a resolution, even a temporary resolution (that they initially mentioned we could likely get in place) until a trial. It gave me false hope. I’ve spent thousands of dollars only to be completely dropped before my trial. They’re unorganized and forget parts of your case that are crucial bc months go by without communication. I spent weeks and hours collecting evidence to help my case and scanning it to them only for them to now tell me they can’t even send me all the files they have pertaining to my case bc it’s “too big.” Fed Ex?? They will not help you, they will cause you more distress. I’m sorry for the folks who have also had this experience.

There are no words to express how grateful I am for this wonderful group of people!!! From the first answer of the phone (Michelle) to this minute these people have gone above and beyond to help me understand the process. I have received return calls, texts, and emails after hours simply to make sure I was ok. I’m a grandparent with this issue being my first ever legal case. I haven’t been an easy client but nobody has ever made me feel like my lack of experience was a burden to them!!!! I highly recommend LaFevor and Slaughter!!! They have all been a huge blessing to me and my family!!!!
