Best Family Law Attorneys in Tennessee

Lawyer Legion created this list of the top picks in 2024 for the best family law attorneys in Tennessee To rank the top family lawyers and other lawyers in Tennessee, we used both objective and subjective criteria.

This list represents a sample of some of the most highly accomplished family lawyers currently practicing in Tennessee. When reviewing this list, please be aware of each of the following:

  • Lawyers cannot pay to be included in this list.
