Hired Attorney Andrew D. Stanley

Another lawyer referred me to Andrew Stanley regarding a car accident earlier in the week in rural Lee County, Alabama. I called on a Friday afternoon expecting a voice mail, but instead received a good phone discussion with Attorney Stanley who provided good legal counsel and confidence that if I need a lawyer for my family member for failure to yield citation, he is intelligent, competent, and hard working. I am so grateful for the time he spent on the phone with me and for his care and concern for my family’s traffic accident.

Hired Attorney Jennifer Chambliss

Jennifer Chambliss is a straight-forward, intelligent, honest and knowledgeable attorney who is skilled in balancing the legal necessities with the delicate aspects of a complicated divorce situation. Jennifer’s expertise and understanding of law drove to a close what was a challenging case. She managed to accomplish this in the best manner possible and with excellent results for my family. Jennifer was caring and supportive while ensuring that I understood the process and each step along the way. I trust her completely, have the utmost confidence in her abilities and would recommend her for any and all cases, simple to complex.

Hired Attorney Jennifer Chambliss

I was referred to Jennifer Chambliss by a lawyer in another city who said Jennifer is who she would use. I called her and met with her and knew immediately that I wanted to work with her. I like her pricing structure - it is fair and balanced. I also like her responsiveness. She always got back to me in a timely manner. She explained my options well, explained to me how the law works (since I do not have a legal mind), and walked me through a painful divorce from a 30-year marriage. She got the most that she could for me and was ruthless in her representation of me. She fought a battle for me that I could not have fought alone. Having her helped me to feel more empowered and helped me to feel hopeful for the future. She really understands the law and is super fast in knowing how to correctly convey my wishes in a settlement agreement. I am so appreciative of her time and would hire her again in a heartbeat. She was a blessing to me in so many respects. Her professionalism is top notch.

Hired Attorney Jennifer Chambliss

Jennifer Chambliss was an incredible lawyer to work with. Divorce and custody disagreements are hard enough. My ex took me back to court, hoping to change custody. I did some research and called several lawyers and hired Jennifer. Jennifer was easy to talk to, knew her case law and researched more case law to ensure I had a strong case. While almost unheard of, due to her legal arguments and knowledge, the judge decided to change the type of hearing and made his verdict on the case.

Hired Attorney Jennifer Chambliss

My best friend hired Ms. Chambliss to represent her in a divorce and we are forever grateful for the exceptional service we received from her firm. My friend was a stay at home mother with no idea where to start when she was faced with the end of her marriage. Ms. Chambliss was patient from the start and took the time to personally explain the ins and outs of the law, while encouraging and empowering my friend to be an active part of her own settlement negotiations, which provided her peace throughout this process. She advocated for my friend's best interest and was always available for questions when needed. She was conscious of her financial position and submitted regular and fair invoices for her review timely. I would HIGHLY recommend Ms. Chambliss for anyone looking for a lawyer.

Beginning with my initial contact to my finalized divorce, I could not have asked for a more professional, dedicated, and caring legal team than what I found with Jennifer Chambliss. She and her assistant were easily contactable, provided me their undivided attention whether in the office or on the phone, and kept me continuously updated on the case. She will take the time to listen to what you hope to achieve, then provide you your best options moving forward. My highest recommendation.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
