My husband and I moved to the south from New York where we had prepared wills after our first child had been born. But time goes by and we have added six more children to our home. We knew we had some updating to do and were uncertain about a reliable lawyer in this area. Russell Hayes was recommended to us by a family friend and we have no regrets.
He was professional, well informed, patient and kind. We have already turned around and recommended him to others and will certainly continue to do so. Our thanks for a positive experience. We specialize in estate planning, estate administration and probate, elder law including Medicaid/TennCare planning, business law, and wills and trusts.

Services
The Pickler Companies' suite of services offers the unique advantage of housing all of your financial and legal advisors in one convenient location. Building relationships is paramount for The Pickler Law Firm. Our goal is achieved when you view us as a valued pillar of your legal and financial life-plan.
Whether you have much or little, estate planning is essential because it involves taking steps to ensure that your hard-earned savings pass to whom you want, when you want. It is a way for you to ensure that your loved ones will be provided for after you pass away. The best estate planning eliminates uncertainties over the administration of a probate and maximizes the value of the estate by reducing taxes and other expenses.
Almost all estate plans include a Last Will and Testament. Your will is the document that ensures that all your property passes to your intended beneficiaries. A will is important for everyone to have because it provides both you and your family with the security that your affairs are properly arranged and in order.
Whether a loved one dies with or without a will, the probate process may be required. Probate is the method by which a deceased person's property is gathered and distributed either according to the will or according to the laws of the state in which the person passed away. Attorneys are usually called upon by the executor of the estate to assist in the administration and with the various documents that must be filed with court.
Similar to the probate process, trust and estate administration arises when a loved one dies with a will or trust. It is up to the trustee or executor to ensure that that document is followed. This can be a daunting task, but it does not have to be. The experienced attorneys at The Pickler Law Firm can assist you in administering an estate, and help you determine whether a probate may be needed.

Attorney Russell Hayes represented us so we could petition to be our adult child's conservator. Having a special needs child has its challenges, however, once they reach legal adult age a lot can become confusing from a legal standpoint. Mr. Hayes handled our case with compassion and was incredibly thorough. We are grateful for the service that the Pickler Law Firm provided for us.

I am starting a new business and needed assistance reviewing documents. Russell was very personable, wanting to know all the details about not only my business, but about me and my family. He has reached out to check on me and offered help in other aspects of my business. Kelsey is great too! I would recommend the firm for any need you may have.

I have worked with Pickler law firm three times and have had incredible results. They are the first law firm that I have ever worked with which seems to be more interested in getting the job done and done correctly than just making money. In the last two months they recovered $25,000 for me due to embezzlement by an office manager. I would highly… recommend David and Russell to anyone that needs legal help. I am so impressed with David Pickler just a man of integrity and he has an incredible work ethic which is not matched by anyone that I have ever met! All I have is positive accolades

I contacted the Pickler Law firm for legal assistance in setting up an estate plan, having selected them based on other positive Google reviews. I was assigned to Russell Hayes, who I found to be an extremely professional, knowledgeable, and personable attorney - just great all around. It was quite a personal journey to figure out how I would want my estate handled and Russell gave very solid advice and suggestions smoothing the process to a successful outcome. It can't be understated how Russell's humor and wit made the process easy and enjoyable.
