JON MCMURRAY JOHNSON REVIEWS

I chose Carpenter and Lewis PLLC based on a personal recommendation. Let’s face it, decisions and the process of estate planning/ wills aren’t exactly fun. Our experience was nothing short of extraordinary and it was a pleasure doing business with them. Our attorney was Jon Mac Johnson. He guided my wife and I through the process and offered sound advice. He was very knowledgeable and provided guidance on areas that we had not even thought about. I appreciated the fact that he spoke to both of us equally and answered all questions. My wife felt like a part of the process not just along for the ride. It was a much easier process than I had ever imagined. Everyone we met at the office couldn’t have been more pleasant. Thank you.

Our experience with Jon Mac Johnson was outstanding! His expertise and guidance on estate planning was just what we needed. He helped us with decisions about our Will, Power of Attorney, Living Will, and Medical Power of Attorney. He is knowledgeable, friendly, organized, and supportive. We highly recommend him.

We were very pleased with the services from Brad Lewis. We needed to update our Wills, Power of Attorney, create a new Trust, etc. Brad answered all of our questions and guided us through updating our documents and creating the new trust. We highly recommend Brad and Carpenter and Lewis.

AMELIA CROTWELL REVIEWS

Elder Care Law Of Tennessee provided exceptional service in handling my mother‘s elder law needs. From my first consultation, the team displayed a deep understanding of Elder Law complexities and offered comprehensive advice tailored to our unique situation. The attorney was not only knowledgeable, but also compassionate and patient guiding us through each step with clarity and empathy. Their attention to detail was evident, ensuring all legal documents were meticulously prepared, and communication was prompt. They were always available to answer any questions or concerns. Overall, Elder Care Law Of Tennessee exceeded our expectations by making a stressful process feel manageable and secure. I highly recommend their services to anyone seeking expert assistance in Elder Law matters.

A friend and coworker had used this group and recommended we do the same as our elderly parents were facing some life changes. They are FANTASTIC! They worked with us for 3 years and when our elderly parents passed away, transfer of assets, and all of the other scary things that come along with what has to be done when parents pass away, went smoothly and quickly , AND favored us financially - tax wise. Their knowledge is invaluable! We had someone help us with senior care help and placement, memory care placement, financial advice, tax advice, etc.... If you have aging parents, Bailey, Jill, Jana and the others are invaluable for estate planning, etc... they are warm and caring, and compassionate. We can't say enough good things about them.

We are so grateful for Elder Law!! They have been able to get my mother’s affairs in order. She has received much needed financial direction for qualifying for VA benefits, Medicaid and being placed in an Assisted Living Facility. Julia’s team (Jill, Hailey and Rusty) have been wonderful to work with. They truly care about us and their commitment to us is unwavering!! They definitely relief much stress. I know my mother’s affairs are in good hands!! I highly recommend them to you!! Thank you Elder Law.

Victoria Tillman did a wonderful job helping to get my estate planning in order. She guided me through the process. Her kind & thoughtful personality put my mind at ease as to what was best for my family. I highly recommend Victoria for your estate planning needs.

Wonderful, kind, patient and knowledgeable attorneys that provided invaluable help to me after my mother's passing. I cannot recommend them more highly. They eased my concerns and guided me through one of the most challenging times of my life. They were easy to contact and prompt in returning emails and calls. They also were very patient. I appreciate all of their work on my behalf.

Victoria was fabulous to work with. Explained everything in detail. I have referred 3 friends, which all have used her. Can't say enough good things about Victoria and the practice.
