Services
At Shipley & Swain, we put families first. As a husband and wife team, we understand what matters most in family law cases and know how trying family law disputes can be. After representing countless parents, divorcees and legal guardians, we know how to advocate for your rights no matter the type of family law issue you are facing.
Parting ways with a spouse can be a painful chapter in one's life. The emotional and financial impact can be devastating and hard to move past it. While this chapter of your life comes to an end, it is important to stay strong and focused. You may be eager to end the marriage and take a step forward, but you may come across issues down the line if the divorce is not done right.
At Shipley & Swain, our attorneys are a husband and wife who work together to help Tennessee families of all kinds resolve family law matters. From blended families to same-sex couples and divorcees, we have clients from all backgrounds who seek us out for representation in their legal matter. Putting families first and advocating for their rights and safety are what we do best.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. While it might be true that estate planning isn't "fun, " it's very important. But what exactly is "estate planning" and isn't it just for rich people? Estate planning is making sure your wishes are carried out during your life and after your death. It's something everyone needs to do.

Man are these guys great! They really get it. They're parents. You can tell they understand kids and all the worries we have about them. They took a situation that looked hopeless where other lawyers said to give up and they literally saved my kids. If you've ever sat up late at night worrying about your family, they're gonna be able to help.

I would highly recommend looking elsewhere if you expect any kind of compassion or understanding concerning your case. I was charged $250/hour. 7 months and $5,400 later, they withdrew from my case 3 weeks before the scheduled trial and the week before Christmas because I expressed my unhappiness with their lack of communication and failure to inform me of what was going on with my case. There was never an attempt to call me or schedule a meeting once I told them I wasn't happy with their work via email. Their immediate response was to withdraw. This was a stepparent adoption case that was initially

When I came to Luke, my custody case was a MESS. My previous attorney did not take my concerns about my child seriously. He wasn't a parent himself, and you could tell that he had no idea what it was like to have a child to protect. Luke fought with me to keep my child SAFE and happy. Our fight was full of ups and downs, but Luke was right there the whole way. I could tell he really "got it." This firm makes the fight their own, fighting FOR you and your children. I know my ex will be back to cause problems later, so I'm happy to know they will have our backs!

I am very thankful to have found this team of attorneys! They were both wonderful to work with during my divorce. They were willing to listen, they understood my needs, and they helped me get thru a stressful process with ease. I appreciate their care and willingness to assist me anytime I had a need or question. I highly recommend them and I appreciate their assistance.
