Testimonials

What Our Clients Are Saying

  • “Haleigh was extremely competent, reliable, responsive, and professional! She knocked it out of the park in no time. Haleigh quickly went into high gear on process serving and handled that with ease, as well as every other small detail. I was relieved beyond measure. Haleigh was the turning point of better luck after the headwinds of COVID.”

  • “Everyone I’ve worked with at Bernstein, Stair, McAdams has been professional and timely in their responses. Especially Heather Anderson and Elizabeth Towe. Both are knowledgeable and patient; answering all my questions to ensure I was updated, comfortable, and understood the process ahead.”

  • “Mr. Chastain represents the highest standards of our profession. He is extremely professional, competent, forthright and a pleasure to deal with on any matter. In the event an amicable resolution is not possible, he agrees to disagree, tees it up, and tries the lawsuit. Great guy and a great lawyer.”

  • “Heather is a fantastic attorney that I would highly recommend. She has assisted our company with business disputes, contract revision, and general business matters. We have found her to be very knowledgeable in her practice area and a consummate professional…She showed herself to be a skilled negotiator working with the opposing side and other involved parties to achieve the outcome we had wanted…Her accessibility and constant contact during a dispute gave us the guidance we needed to resolve a very stressful and potentially costly situation. She definitely goes the extra mile for her clients.”

  • “My experience with Michael Moyers was during his time as Chancellor. I am pleased to hear that Mr. Moyers will be doing Mediation and Appellate Practice with his experience.
