contracts
Doug and Kelly both do contract disputes, large and small. We work with corporate clients as well as individuals. Contract disputes can also involve large sums of money and volumes of documents, and two lawyers can be helpful.

Both Doug and Kelly provide representation if a criminal charge arises. Our firm has handled everything from criminal trespassing, DUI, and drug charges up to robbery and first degree murder trials.

ADOPTION AND DOMESTIC RELATIONS
Kelly can handle your divorce, custody, child support, Department of Children’s services proceedings, and enforcement of court orders in these areas.

About
About Us
If we don’t do it, we probably know someone who does
Several years ago we accepted that the law practice, like the medical profession, had become so large and broad that as a practical matter, a good practitioner could not do everything. If you spread yourself too thin, you are probably doing both your client and yourself a disservice. We narrow our practice areas so we can stay current on that area of the law and generally have a good idea what our client needs from the beginning. This saves us time and saves you money. At the same time, we started keeping track of who worked in areas we do not, and to the extent possible, whether they did a good job. It is frustrating calling lawyer after lawyer about your case. So, if we don’t do it, we remain the place to call first so your next call has a better chance of being productive.
Next, we took a look at two things: First; what legal help do people in our community need (for example, there are not many copyright infringement cases in Crossville). Second; what do we enjoying doing (it’s hard to work with someone that hates their job!). Based on these principles, we concentrate on the areas of practice you will see outlined here.
Whether you are anticipating the joys of adoption or experiencing the frustrations of marital conflict, Fields & Tollett, Association of Attorneys can help.
