Held Law Firm

Held Law Firm was amazing in representing me in my divorce. Melanie handled my case and was very thorough in the details. I was very anxious and scared about the process, but she was very kind and helpful. She was always available to answer my questions no matter how small they were. She negotiated very well on my behalf of the custody plan with my child and on my behalf of the divorce settlement. Melanie even kept in touch with me after my divorce was final to make sure my settlement was awarded correctly. I highly recommend Held Law Firm.

We were referred over to Held Law firm for a custody battle for my daughter and her little one. Without hesitation Celsey took us on and represented us to the fullest extent. It was a lengthy 5 month process but in the end we were pleased with the outcome. My daughter received everything she was asking for with the parenting plan put into place. I see alot of reviews going on about the "Prices" and how expensive it is. However, with any law firm and having to hire a lawyer, you are without a doubt looking at spending a nice chunk of change. But the way our family looked at the whole ordeal, it was totally worth it. We would refer Held Law Firm over to anyone. Thank you Celsey and Held Law Firm for representing our family!

In the realm of legal representation, particularly in sensitive areas such as divorce and custody, clients seek an attorney who is as invested in their case as they are in the practice of law. However, not all attorneys meet these expectations, as evidenced by experiences I have had with Ms. Held. Ms. Held specializes in divorce custody law, a field that requires not just legal expertise but also significant compassion and understanding due to the personal and emotional nature of the cases. Unfortunately, Ms. Held's practice tends to emphasize financial aspects over client welfare. Ms. Held is quick to secure retainer payments and billable hours, sometimes focusing more on "office finances" rather than the intricacies and successful outcomes of the cases involved. Ms. Held is one of those attorneys who truly cares more about the money than the case at hand. She will collect the retainer, send you bills on file review and in-office things, and when the retainer is spent and if you can't get her another payment fast, she will withdraw from your case immediately and handicap you. Terrible attorney. Stay away. The approach taken in handling cases, as observed by me with Ms. Held, appears transactional at best. The emphasis seems to lie heavily on securing payments rather than on the quality of representation or the attention given to the nuances of my case. I felt abandoned after the initial retainer was exhausted, leading to disrupted case representation and a scramble to find alternative counsel. In conclusion, while financial viability is essential for any practice, legal professionals like Ms. Held must remember that at the heart of the law is the duty to serve and represent clients with integrity and dedication. Implementing these suggestions could reshape any misaligned perceptions and build a practice that is as reputable in its client care as it is in its legal advocacy.

Our representative for our grandchild has been so helpful. She is ready to help with anything he needed. If we have questions, she had answers. They cared about the kids they represent. I personally glad we had his person who could speak for him.

Margaret is extremely helpful and it's easy to see that she's among the most knowledgeable lawyers in Knoxville. Thank you for your help.
