I have known Ben Barnett professionally for several years. He has proven himself to be a very competent attorney. He is very knowledgeable about the law and is a tireless advocate in the courtroom. Mr. Barnett works hard to apply his knowledge to get the best outcome possible for his clients and does not back down if a case becomes difficult. His clients are lucky to have such a skilled attorney working for them.

My father paid these attorneys for my custody case of my daughter. They literally did nothing and did not defend as promised. I lost the custody case due to this factor and I believe the other party either bribed the judge or knew the right people to win. Otherwise they wouldn't have. They had no evidence and I had tons against them. Didn't even have a chance to testify. One sided ruling. Make sure you do not get judge Micheal fortune or these attorneys. Avoid my mistake. Tennessee family court system is corrupt and they do not care about the truth or the children.

Mr. Barnett and his staff are excellent to work with. Very knowledgeable and not afraid to be aggressive. Keeps us informed and even calls after hours when needed to help you understand what is happening with your case. Very pleased and confident with knowing we have him on our side! Very thankful for him.

I cannot say enough about my experience with Ben and his team! The Barnett Firm truly cares about their clients and will make sure you are represented with excellence at all cost. Benjamin Barnett is an experienced attorney with a cool, calm demeanor and caring manners, but makes no mistake when it comes to his clients. I am extremely happy with my results The Barnett Firm were able to offer.

Ben helped me with a difficult matter I had unfortunately managed to get myself into. He not only helped me avoid permanently detrimental outcome; but he was able to convince the court the charges weren’t proper for the conduct using impeccable negotiation skill. Well before any trial date, he had reviewed my case and had me voluntarily performing community service and assessments I would have never thought of trying. I have no question that proactive approach led to the swift and beneficial outcome. He continually kept me updated on the status and outlined a very detailed trial strategy from the start. The attention to detail and level of professionalism and aggressiveness with which he handled my case revealed to me something rare to see in an attorney -- he personally cared about the outcome of the case. He didn’t just want to win, he wanted to win because he felt that was justice in my case. I can’t thank him enough for helping me out of a situation that would have otherwise negatively impacted my life for years to come. You rock Ben!--

Sometimes life throws us curve balls... Ben Barnett specializes in hitting curve balls. He is exactly what I thought a REAL lawyer would be. Intelligent, prompt, results driven.

I worked with Mr. Pienkoswki on a Conservatorship I filed. What impressed me the most was how thorough he was in determining whether the Conservatorship should be granted. He conducted the most comprehensive review I have seen in a Conservatorship. Diligent and smart.

I hired Mark and The Barnett Legal Team to file for emergency custody of my grandson. Mark was communicative, compassionate, and well-organized. Here's a big difference between this and other law firms: these people actually care! I highly recommend this attorney and this firm.

Our family can’t give enough thanks and praise to Mr Barnett and his staff. He went above and beyond to accomplish all our goals. During one of the most difficult times of our life he showed us such compassion and genuine caring. He was strong and aggressive against every obstacle we faced. We can’t thank him enough.

I can't thank Ben Barnett enough for his hardwork and willingness to go the extra mile to help me. Ben is very well educated and a master of his craft. He got me the results I was looking for. In times like these you have to choose wisely when it comes to who will represent you. I couldn't have picked a better lawyer. I will recommend the Barnett Firm to everyone.

Ben Barnett along with his staff is one of the most caring and understanding people during a tough time. Ben seeks to understand the person and caters to the needs of the individual while teaching the individual about the process. He is realistic and tells you the truth; not just what you want to hear.

Mr. Barnett and staff handled my legal issues in a surprisingly timely manner. I have never felt so accommodated in previous situations. The Barnett Firm has my utmost respect, and I'll always hold them in the highest regard. Thanks again!

Mr. Barnett and his team do outstanding work representing their clients. If you have a family law issue, he and his team can solve it. Everyone at this firm is highly professional, they return calls timely to keep you informed (Mr. Barnett will make calls after hours as well), and they do an excellent job of fighting for you to ensure you get the best result for you and your family.
You cannot find a better lawyer than Mr. Barnett, nor a better law firm than The Barnett Firm.

Hired this firm to help my now wife to move out of state. I was told that everything would be resolved fairly quickly and easily (about 2 weeks). After I paid a quite pricy retainer we didn’t hear back from them for about 2 weeks. After not returning calls or texts for another week we finally got to talk to Ben. He told us he had not made any progress. We then got in contact with her ex and came to an agreement outside of the lawyers since we weren’t getting any help from this firm. We then sent them an email outlining what agreement we had come to and asked if they could type it up and send it back to us for approval and then submit it to the courthouse. They said they would. Two more weeks go by and we have heard nothing back from them. After several more attempts we finally get in contact with them. They send us our 2 page agreement that looks nothing like what we had originally requested. We then explained that this was not what the agreement was and that they had neglected to copy in parts of a previous agreement, had gotten the visitation dates wrong, and had the wrong address for us to meet with her ex to pick up and drop off the kids. They said they would make the changes. Another 2 weeks go by and again we have to call and ask several times if they had finished our 2 page document. Finally they send it back. Again it was wrong as they had only corrected the visitation dates. It was then that I noticed that it was notarized by the law firm her ex had hired, and I begin to suspect they had never read much less written this document. We again tell them we need corrections made and outline the changes that need made. We wait another 2 weeks and hear nothing back from this firm. Her ex has now asked if we had signed the papers and reveals to us that he has; we have not signed or even seen them. We call and ask when we will be getting the paperwork as her ex had already received and signed his copy. They said they would get them to us as soon as possible and that they had other clients to look after too. A week later we received another copy that had not included everything that we had previously agreed upon and that the meeting location was incorrect. I noticed that again no signatures from the Barnett’s firm were present anywhere in the document. I now suspected that they were not making an attempt to help us and just letting the other firm handle the paperwork We again tell them it’s not right and outline the corrections that need made. Another 2-3 go by we call and ask about the paperwork. We receive it with her ex’s signature already present. We read through and everything is present but the address to meet is still wrong. We signed it and returned it because we had come to the agreement nearly 3 Months prior. Not only were they slow at getting things back to us Ben was particularly unpleasant to talk to at time and had a general lack of interest in our case as soon as we paid the retainer. Worst experience paying for any service ever. If I could leave a 0 star review I would. Please don’t make the mistake of hiring this firm. They are a waste of time and money.

Mr. Barnett and his law firm provide excellent representation in all types of family law cases. He maintains great client contact, and is always on top of his cases. His in court presence and quick thinking are second to none. I highly recommend Mr. Barnett.

Ben did two child support matters for me. He made a big difference in the outcome and led us to good decisions and outcomes. He's returned calls even after hours and helped us through a stressful time. He kept from filing stuff we we're later glad we didn't. He's always been professional and knowledgeable whenever we had questions. It took a lot of stress off us having him on our side.

Ben is a great attorney. He has been our family attorney for several years and has dealt with family law matters that would have gone far worse without his involvement. His advice has been right on and saved us what would have been long, difficult litigation. He answers questions frankly and in a manner that gets straight to the heart of our concerns. Even when it was hard to follow the advice, it was right in the end. We are so glad we chose his firm and we recommend him to all our friends.

I've known the attorneys at The Barnett Firm for many years and have observed their work dozens of times. I've always been impressed with the care and dedication they give their clients. As a small businessman, it's been a critical partner to have when issues arise where I need advice. Mr. Barnett specifically has helped me and several friends with instant advice that that has helped us through some tough decisions. I would never hesitate to refer The Barnett Firm if you have a legal issue.

Mr. Barnett and his entire firm are hands down the absolute best when it comes to any legal matters you may have. Whether it be an unfailing referral, peaceful mediation, or large-scale trial your case will be managed with the utmost compassion & diligence than you have ever experienced in order to achieve the best possible results in every regard. I highly recommend this firm because they know when to be abrasive and when to be compassionate in every imaginable setting but most of all their dependability is unmatched. Before discovering the Barnett Firm, I had the unfortunate pleasure in dealing with many different lawyers across the southeast so I can easily say that with zero hesitation and 100% confidence. Thank you to everyone at the Barnett Firm for their stellar service provided to both me and my entire family. It has literally been life changing.

I can't say how happy I've been with the service I've received from these guys. I had to fire my previous attorney, and the transition to a legal team that cares about my case is such a night and day transition that it's dizzying.

When I found the Barnett Firm, I had an Order of Protection against my wife and needed help defending myself against an Annulment. Obviously, I needed a divorce and an attorney that could sort through the mess and keep me safe. The odds were stacked against me since this was a gay marriage of which I was a housewife. no precedent had been set, I needed to make payments, my ex made at least six times my income with unlimited resources and I didn’t even live in the area and would need to do everything I could remotely. When I explained everything to Ben Barnett, instead of turning me away like all the others he agreed to take my case. Finally, I had found my champion. Ben was a powerhouse and immediately managed to untangle the web of motions with little effort. When able, (after the Supreme Court ruled on same sex marriage) Ben filed my counter claim for divorce in enough time to extend my Order of Protection through the divorce proceedings. Ben and his staff went out of their way to keep me safe in every way possible. Ben’s staff even escorted me to the restroom any time my ex was in the same building. In the end, Ben secured a settlement in my favor that included temporary alimony awarded over a year and a half after our final separation and an order awarding me most of my precious possessions that I had grown to believe had been destroyed. Somehow, he even got her to return precious keepsakes from my child that were not on the order. If you want to stay out of court, Ben can get you a settlement from even the most unreasonable opponent. If court is necessary, as it was in my case for a contempt hearing, Ben is the champion that will stick by your side until the end. Prior to the last hearing my ex had fired her team of lawyers since their cost had exceeded their value and she was allowed to cross examine me. Ben kept her in check and objected successfully over and over and over, making me feel protected instead of frightened. During the entire hearing, Ben was effective, efficient and pushed back hard whenever pushed upon. Ben won more than I was seeking and even made the ex pay his attorney fees. From annulment to post-divorce, Casandra kept me calm when I became emotional and with Ben gave me words of encouragement that helped me to pursue a new career, a degree and get my life back in order. Ben Barnett and his staff helped me to get a divorce and got me the justice that I wanted. Ben also helped me to get (at no extra cost) the closure and peace that I was missing and could not get on my own, which I find to be priceless.

When my son told me that he had a lawyer for his child custody case I told him he needed to fire him and call Ben Barnett. On my birthday, my son called and told me he had hired the Barnett Firm for his case. I told him that was the best birthday present he could have ever given me. I would not trust my family’s future with anyone else since I know that the Barnett Firm will fight for my son and my grandbaby and that everything will be okay. So, whether you need an Order of Protection, an annulment, need alimony, a divorce, help in a child custody case or all the above- the Barnett Firm is the champion you should call on to fight by your side.

I want to start by saying I have nothing but the upmost respect for Mr. Barnett. He is such a wonderful attorney and was there for me in my most desperate time of need. Ben more than exceeded my expectations as an attorney!
I used Mr. Barnett 3 years ago in a very difficult custody case with my children. In the end he was able to win my case as I ended up with more than I expected and was VERY pleased.
Recently I was faced with the same situation as custody modification papers were served to me. As I spoke to the petitioners attorney and told them I was hiring Mr. Barnett as my attorney in less than 10 minutes they were ready to settle and caved as they did not want to go up against Ben and his legal team.
I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone who is going through the process of custody modification I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

Mr. Barnett is an experienced attorney that helped me get equal parenting time with my child. He was very helpful and guided me through the process every step of the way. He has won many awards and is extremely professional. I would recommend him to anybody who is trying to get a parenting plan set up.
