Loved working with Amanda. She is extremely knowledgeable and her office was very prompt in responding to questions, making appointments, and filing documents. Very satisfied with the results of our case and will not only recommend Amanda to family and friends, but will definitely come back for our future legal needs.

Amanda made getting our Family Trust completed easy! She was helpful in explaining in detail the questions we asked her and gave us explanations of the pros and cons of what we wanted to achieve. Her office staff is friendly and their work was done in a very timely manner!

My family and I live in New England and recently had a relative residing in Tennessee pass away with a small estate and no beneficiary, so we contacted the Tennessee Bar Association and they referred three Probate Lawyers. The second Attorney that we called and the one that we chose was Amanda Jelks. The consultation that we had was extremely informative and covered everything from our options, Tennessee Law, and legal fees. She, as well as her staff, were very professional and made the Small Estate Probate process seem effortless. I don't normally review products or services, however, Amanda and her staff definitely deserve 5 stars and we would highly recommend this Attorney to anyone.

Attorney Jelks and her team did a fantastic job with my family regarding estate planning. During our initial consultation Attorney Jelks explained each step of estate planning in detail and allowed us, my wife and I, to ask questions as needed. No stone was left unturned before leaving our consultation with attorney Jelks. Attorney Jelks set clear expectations and deadlines to which all were met. We would recommend attorney Jelks and her team to our closes family and friends.

Amanda was so helpful and knowledgeable about all the legal aspects of owning and operating a small business. Amanda helped get our business set up the right way. Now we can rest assured that we are doing everything correct. Amanda helped with the formation of the LLC, the independent contracts, and learning about no compete policies. The world of business can be very intimidating and having Amanda to help us set everything up correctly was such a blessing. We are so thankful for her and her law firm. Everyone is just wonderful!

Amanda assisted me in setting up a will and trust. She is very professional and had answers for all of my questions. I will be returning to her to work on a few things for my business.

I would like to thank Amanda Jelk's for helping us we were being kicked out of our own home. My husband mother had passed and didn't leave a will so the brother that was living their thought he could put us out I reached out to Amanda and she knew just what to do. She also helped us change the dead on the house to all parties involved so that we would have no problems with being able to sell the house or keep it. I am so glad I came to her I have already recommend her to other people.
