When Franklin divorce attorney Brandon W. Lippman was in law school, he worked as a legal intern for the 8th Judicial Circuit Court system, where he originally wanted to become a prosecutor.. After shadowing numerous judges and attorneys while learning the ins and outs of the courtroom, Mr. Lippman developed a particular passion for family law.. “I would see families being torn apart and children having to witness these life-altering events,” Mr. Lippman said. “To me, divorce is not just a typical contract or transaction, it is someone’s life, not only the lives of the husband and wife, but the lives of the children involved.. “My goal is to make the transition from pre-divorce to post-divorce as painless as possible for everyone involved.”. Mr. Lippman understands how hard divorce can be for all parties because his own parents divorced at a young age and that experience had a profound effect on him.. “That is why if I can make the process as painless as possible, especially in regards to keeping the children out of the middle of the arguments, then it is a win for my client and especially for their children,” he said.. Mr. Lippman gained a familiarity with the courtroom early in his life through his experience as president of the Moot Court Team as an undergraduate. In law school, he volunteered and worked at numerous internships, externships, and legal teaching assistant positions and completed more than 130 hours of legal volunteer work.. His experience observing a wide variety of legal fields and areas of law has given him a sense of comfort with all types of legal settings.. Additonally, his experience as a property law attorney has given him a familiarity with real property, personal property, trusts, mortgage, and refinancing loan documents that can be applied and carried over to divorce situations, especially in regard to the equitable distribution of property.. “Being the energetic type that I am, I am always dedicated to achieving the goals and expectations that each and every client may have,” Mr. Lippman said. “I am very responsive in all of my communications and building trust and rapport early on in the attorney-client relationship bond that we attain from the initial meeting is of utmost importance.”

In the early 90's, I UN-lucked into a claims adjuster job right out of college.  I enjoyed it at first, and then began to feel guilty because of all the people I was forced to take advantage of.  I learned from defense lawyers how to take recorded statements and "get the goods" on the people that were hurt and was taught how to take advantage of the weaknesses in their case.  I was also taught how to get information about their prior medical treatment and how to use that against them.. One day, I settled a case for the insurance company for less than her medical bills.  She called 4 days later asking for more money to pay medical bills.  I told her I could not.  She cried.  That call changed my life.  I vowed to do the opposite of what I did then, and work for people, not soul-less insurnace companies.. I love slaying the insurance companies.  I strive to be the very best trial lawyer that I can ever be, and it all starts with trying my best to be a good person, and bringing hope to all of the people I serve.  I now have over 4000 former clients that I call friends.   They send me countless great referrals and I am blessed that I do not have to spend $80,000 per month to beg clients to call me.  I take the cases that I want to take, with good, deserving, honest and positive minded thinking clients.. It is all about family.  I have a passion for my work, but it is all for them that I do my job, and do it well.. With 4 children, we are always on the go.   They say life is what you do while you are making plans.  My life is fulfilled, and I am so grateful and thankful.. I also have a passion for coaching football.  I played briefly in college until I was hurt and enjoy sharing what all I have learned with young men, watching them succeed and believe in themselves, and hopefully teaching them a little bit about life along the way.. I enjoy playing guitar and singing, along with my wife who has the most beautiful voice I have ever heard in my life.  I am thankful for her.. In addition to my 4 wonderful kids, I have 4 hairy 4 legged ones (dogs) Buck, Ella, Jessie and Moe.  Loyalty is their strength, and they are always there for me, even on bad days.. If you have been injured and have questions regarding your injuries, please contact me. I can help you if you have been injured in a Car Accident, Truck Accident, Bicycle Accident, Pedestrian Accident, Motorcycle Accident, Slip or Fall, or experienced the Wrongful Death of a loved one..

In my 24 years of practicing law, I have been fortunate to be able to focus on the areas of the law that interest me the most. My practice has, in part, focused on the representation of children. That representation is sometimes tied to delinquent charges incurred by the child or as a guardian ad litem for children who are involved in dependency and neglect proceedings. This experience has also given me great insight when representing Parents, Grandparents and other family members who are concerned for the welfare of their children.. My love and unique approach to this area of the law is what influenced me to become certified as a Specialist in Child Welfare Law. I have been awarded that Certification by the National Association of the Council for Children. After obtaining that, I began representing children and parents within the school system who were in need of Independent Education Plans (IEP’s) or 504 plans. My years of experience as a litigator, in the Juvenile Court, and relationships within the school system, allow me to work with the family and the school system to obtain the educational results necessary for the child.. My other two main areas of practice are representing businesses and representing clients who have been injured either in an automobile accident, slip and fall or work related incident. I have been practicing in both these areas of the law since 1994, so I have extensive experience in business formation, employment law, and helping those who have been wrongfully injured.. In my law practice, I am calm, responsive and firm. My client’s appreciate the frankness with which I speak. I always advise my clients of the law and my honest analysis of their situation, while at the same time respecting their wishes and their ultimate decision.. I grew up in Key Largo, Florida, which led to my interests in scuba diving, boating, and anything related to water sports. I received my Psychology degree from the University of South Florida in Tampa, Florida. I then received my law degree from Nova Southeastern School of Law in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida in 1994. I am a member of Brentwood United Methodist Church, an active board member of the Highland Park Homeowners Association, a Daisy Troop leader, and actively volunteer at my children’s school.. I am most proud of my marriage to my husband, John, and our two children, my favorite son, Taylor, and my favorite daughter, Bella.

I have been practicing law in the middle Tennessee area for 25 years. The focus of my practice is civil litigation, dispute avoidance and alternative dispute resolution. I have represented a wide array of clients, including both plaintiffs and defendants, in both state and federal court. I have zealously represented clients in the areas of medical malpractice, personal injury, business and commercial litigation and other complex litigation cases. I have represented numerous clients in jury trials throughout middle Tennessee.

During law school, I served as a staff writer for the St. Louis University Law Journal and a legal intern for Judge Theodore McMillian of the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. I obtained my undergraduate degree from Vanderbilt University, graduating cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science, with a secondary major in Russian.. I am married to my wonderful wife of 29 years and have two boys, with whom I enjoy spending much of my time. I love to sail and on weekends can be found on my sailboat on Percy Priest Lake.

I am attorney Kate Yeager Delk, and I have been working in Tennessee's justice system for more than 11 years. I represent individuals defending their rights and protecting their futures.Prior to opening my own practice, I prosecuted cases in the 21st Judicial District (Hickman, Lewis, Perry, and Williamson counties) for 10 years. I tried numerous cases over those 10 years and know what it takes to prove a case beyond a reasonable doubt. Also, as a former prosecutor, I negotiated thousands of cases, and I know how the other side thinks. This unique perspective means I can help protect my clients - both today and in the future. My experience means I know how hard it is for defendants to protect themselves and their rights and how important an experienced attorney is.. After graduating from Washington and Lee School of Law, I clerked for the Court of Criminal Appeals under Judge Tommy Woodall. As one of his two Law Clerks, I researched numerous criminal law issues and drafted opinions.

Having begun my legal career representing mega-inurance companies, I quickly realized many of these companies cared little about people, even if those people had suffered catastrophic, life-altering losses. That realization did not sit well with me. Things were made worse when an insurance company wanted me to find a way to avoid paying a mother for the loss of her unborn baby, when the loss of life was the company's insured's fault. Not paying the claim might save the company a few cents on their annual report to shareholders, but would prolong and exacerbate human suffering.. So, I decided to represent ordinary people instead of large companies. The decision has resulted in me having life-long friendships with those whom I represented. I hope that I have brought positive change to the lives of those clients and that we, together, have and will continue to effect positive change, making the world a safer and more livable place.
