Family Law

Divorce
Tennessee is an equitable distribution state. Under Tennessee Code Section 36-4-121, all marital assets and property must be divided equitably. In a contested divorce, the court will consider the following factors to determine equitable property distribution...
Child Support
Perhaps you are considering divorce, or have already started the process and are concerned about the financial support of your children. Maybe you have an existing child support agreement and are wondering if you can modify it due to changes in your circumstances or those of the other parent. The financial support of your children is an emotional and complicated issue, so retaining an experienced family law firm will help.
Child Custody and Visitation
According to a recent study by Pew Research Center, approximately a quarter of U.S. children under the age of 18 live with only one parent. Child custody is often a key concern in divorce. If you are considering divorce or have just been served with divorce papers, it is crucial that you consult with a knowledgeable Tennessee child custody attorney for detailed guidance.
Adoption
International Adoption â€” Children available internationally come from all regions of the world and range in age from about six months to school-age. International adoption is expensive and adoptive parents may pay in excess of $25,000. In addition to the high cost, parents may receive inaccurate or unreliable health information. The average time frame to adopt an international child is about 18 months.
Spousal Support
During a marriage dissolution, one party may feel the economic impact of the divorce more than the other due to the differences in their income or earning capacity. Hence, alimony is often awarded to mitigate any unfair economic effects of the divorce and serve as financial assistance from one spouse to the other. If you are considering filing for divorce and want to understand your options regarding spousal support, it is important that you consult with an experienced Tennessee family law attorney for detailed guidance.
Legal Separation
Divorce and legal separation are complex processes that require the professional assistance of experienced divorce attorneys. When a marriage ends, spouses and their families face stressful circumstances such as new parenting schedules, property division, financial planning, and living arrangements.
Child Abuse
In addition to the domestic violence charges, a defendant may be charged with other crimes committed against the victim, such as child abuse, neglect, endangerment, or rape. A knowledgeable attorney can review the details of your case and enlighten you about the potential penalties and consequences of a domestic assault conviction.

Criminal Law

Criminal Defense
There are a number of legal defenses skilled Tennessee criminal defense attorneys can potentially utilize. As your legal counsel, we are determined to protect your rights and provide the best available defense for your unique case.
DUI/DWI
According to an annual crime report from the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, 19,538 DUI arrests were made statewide in 2019. In the state of Tennessee, driving while under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or controlled substances is a serious crime. A defendant convicted of a drunk driving offense could face serious punishment, including huge fines, prison sentences, license suspension or revocation, and other social consequences.
Wrongful Death
Whatever the cause, when personal injuries occur, it is important to consult with a personal injury lawyer who can help you and your loved ones determine your rights. Nothing is more tragic or egregious than wrongful death. If you have a family member who has died as a result of an accident, it is imperative that you seek legal counsel.
Sex Crimes
FBI Uniform Crime Reporting Program, in 2018, there were approximately 42,226 reported incidents of violent crimes in Tennessee. Of those reported incidents, 2,821 were rape cases. In Tennessee, rape and sexual assault allegations are very serious offenses that can cause devastating consequences to your reputation, freedom, and your personal and professional future. If convicted, you could be facing lengthy prison time, hefty fines, sex offender registration, financial restitution to the victim, and other social ramifications.

White Collar Crimes
Theft
Misdemeanors
Prison vs. Jail â€” In general, felonies carry a potential sentence to state prison while misdemeanors involve possible incarceration in a county or local jail.
Drug Crimes
If you are facing felony drug charges or are currently under investigation for a felony drug crime, you may face severe penalties and consequences that can alter your life forever. You deserve to know your rights and what you can expect during litigation. A felony drug crime attorney can review your case and help prepare a strong defense against the prosecution.
Assault
According to statistics from the Crime in Tennessee annual report by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, 37,795 aggravated assault offenses were reported to law enforcement statewide in 2020. From bar fights, domestic disputes, road rage incidents, or confrontations at sporting events, assault charges in the state of Tennessee can carry serious penalties.
Murder
For a person to be charged with murder, there needs to be proof that the crime was premeditated or intentional. This type of crime can be categorized as any of the following, depending on the nature in which the offense occurred...
Probation Violation
Homicide
Homicide is when a person causes the death of another human being. This includes killing in war, execution, and euthanasia. However, the difference between homicide and murder is intent.
Restraining Order
Manslaughter
Voluntary manslaughter is when a person is provoked and causes the death of another human being in the heat of the moment.

Business and Corporate Law

Corporate Law
Business Formation
Starting a new business is an exciting and often intimidating experience. In addition to choosing a business entity or structure, it is also important to establish the proper legal foundation that will protect you from personal liability. Consulting with knowledgeable Tennessee business formation attorneys for proper guidance can help mitigate costly and damaging consequences.
Business Disputes
Business disputes generally fall into two categories: disputes within a business and disputes between businesses. Disputes with customers are also common and are considered disputes within a business.
Business Transactions
Contracts are the building blocks of every successful business. Businesses rely on valid and enforceable contracts to protect their interests, build relationships, and complete business transactions.
Limited Liability Companies
Limited Liability Companies (LLC): Limited liability is the most common entity used by small businesses. LLC provides corporate protection to its members by limiting personal accountability for company debts and liabilities.
Trade Secrets
Intellectual Property

Employment Law

Employment Contract
Another important task of any new business is establishing employment contracts that vary depending on the type of service you provide. Contracts and how they are worded are often the main point of contention in lawsuits so knowing which contracts will best protect the interests of your business is crucial. Common contracts include...
Non-compete Agreement

Property Law

Real Estate Litigation
Real Estate Disputes: Real estate disputes usually lead to substantial problems. Such disputes can occur between individuals buying their dream home or businesses entering a commercial real estate lease. Examples include landlord-tenant disputes or commercial real estate disputes.
Construction Litigation
Additionally, when purchasing a new construction home, on some occasions, this process does not always go according to plan. Whether the issue is construction defects (both in new homes or in remodels) or breach of contract issues, it is important to have attorneys familiar with construction litigation. Whether you are trying recover from a contractor for a poorly completed job or for work not yet completed, or whether you are a contractor defending against a claim of poor workmanship or breach of contract, it is not an easy process.
Eminent Domain
For these types of actions, the taking of the private property can occur through a physical taking where the private property is taken without just compensation or where appropriate/formal condemnation proceedings have not been conducted for eminent domain actions. Takings can also occur through a regulatory taking where regulation denies an owner economically viable use of his or her property. This may sometimes look more like an "indirect" taking of a property's access or visibility or any number of other associated qualities of the respective property.
Easement
Landlord-Tenant Disputes

Health Law

Personal Injury
After discharge from active duty, Tony worked as a railroad conductor for a Class I railroad. While in this capacity, he supervised the safe movement and security of trains. He was also an active member of the International Association of Sheet Metal, Air, Rail, and Transportation Workers (SMART) Union where he participated in numerous disciplinary hearings. This experience gives him a unique perspective in solving labor and management disputes, and in litigating railroad personal injury claims under the Federal Employers Liability Act (FELA).
Auto Accidents

Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning
In addition to wills, estate planning is another way to assure yourself that your family will be inheriting your possessions. People who do not take the time to handle estate planning with an estate planning lawyer often inadvertently leave their possessions to the individuals the courts or the government deem to be the proper heirs. Do not leave something so significant up to someone else. Instead, arrange a meeting with the team at McCarter | East PLLC so that you can rest assured that your estate is handled as you wish when you pass away.
Wills
You need an estate planning lawyer who can walk you through the process of creating a will â€” both a last will and testament or a living will. Our team knows exactly how to create these documents and can assure your loved ones that everything is set up just how you intended.
Power of Attorney
Unfortunately, there is no guarantee that once you pass away things will end up how you envisioned. For this reason, it is essential to be proactive in setting up a will, planning your estate, establishing a trust, or handling Power of Attorney should you be facing a set of circumstances where someone may need this ability on your behalf.
