Rebecca S. Montgomery, Attorney

Rebecca S. Montgomery, Attorney

I have represented people from all walks of life in the Tennessee legal system – including professionals, working-class families, the LGBT community, and Nashville’s diverse ethnic communities – who found respect, acceptance, and fierce compassion by choosing me as their lawyer.

As a blue collar warrior of sorts, I pride myself on being a fighter and an advocate with a genuine empathy for my clients. I get as much from my relationships with my clients as they do from my advocacy during their legal crisis.

While I won’t guarantee results (it’s irresponsible) – I will guarantee that you will have a passionate, experienced lawyer on your side working as hard as possible until your current conflict is over.

Area of Practices

Family Law

There is nothing simple or easy about divorce in Tennessee. Navigating where to file, determining legal grounds, and figuring out the most effective and cost-efficient resolution for your case can be daunting. You can count on me to thoroughly walk you through each step in the process to ensure you understand all of your options before making any decisions.

Mediation

In addition to completing the required mediation training to be on the Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 31 List of Family Mediators, I have specific, dedicated training in dealing with domestic violence cases.

My rates for family law mediation are fair and available on a sliding scale fee schedule. I offer mediation services in the following areas:

• Divorce  
• Post Divorce Child Custody
• Child Custody and Visitation
• Parentage/Paternity
• Child Support
• LGBT Family Law Issues
