I am so thankful for Dana Mclendon! From the very beginning he was honest and reassuring. He took away all the anxiety that came with my multiple offense citation and was there anytime I had a question. He worked MAGIC! I highly recommend putting your faith and trust in Dana Mclendon, you won’t be disappointed!

I retained the service of Mr. McLendon with regard to a dispute with the Tennessee Wildlife Recourses Agency. Without delving into the details of the case, I attempted to obtain a favorable resolution for myself directly with them, and when that did not turn out to my satisfaction, I hired Dana. Mr. McLendon got me exactly what I asked for within the fee that we initially agreed upon.

I could not be happier with my experience being represented by Dana. He remained ethical, fair, and honest throughout the entire process. I had a complicated divorce case and Dana worked MAGIC in the courtroom. His communication skills are excellent and he was always available to answer any questions I had. His sense of humor even kept me laughing through it all! I have and will continue to recommend Dana to anyone going through legal troubles, I truly couldn't be more pleased with Dana and the outcome he worked so hard for.

Dana represented me in a parenting plan renegotiation and he was absolutely brilliant. My original plan was lopsided and I was never happy or comfortable with it. I believe that kids need both parents when both are willing, and able, to be actively involved their lives and neither should have an upper hand. I was referred to Dana by a friend and when I shared with him how I felt, Dana immediately went to work to did his magic. I was pulled into renegotiations by my ex who wanted yet further control over our kids and to further limit my time with our children and I’ll admit, I was unhappy about it. But with Dana by my side, I walked away with an equitable 50/50 plan that favors the children, not the parents. I will forever be indebted to him for what he did for my children and he truly changed the trajectory of all of their lives. Meeting someone that can actually do that in the lives of others is rare indeed, and Dana is absolutely a cut above. I will have no reservations about hiring him again and I’ll enthusiastically refer him to anyone who needs his services. You can trust Dana, he does what he says he’ll do and if you need an attorney by your side - he’s absolutely your man!

If you’re looking for someone who is direct and doesn’t mess around then this is your guy. Dana is not only straight forward and forth coming he genuinely cares about you as a human being. I felt extremely confident that his experience would work in my favor, he’s a local and has good working relationships with a lot of other professionals. He settled an extremely difficult case between my ex and myself post divorce with precision and honesty. I promise you want this person on your side. If he’s the opposing council then prepare yourself, he’s a good one!

Dana worked to resolve my divorce swiftly and provided excellent advice from Day One. He listened to my concerns and helped me to separate the business of divorce from the emotions of divorce, which allowed me to make the best decisions for my situation. Dana never made me feel stupid for lacking legal knowledge. His fees were fair and I was never worried about the meter running while talking with him because I trusted he was providing the best legal advice. If you are looking for a results-oriented, experienced lawyer whose advice you are willing to follow, Dana is the right selection.

Dana put me at ease from my first phone call. Everything he told me was going to happen, Happened. He knew that we were not going to get a deal until she was done flogging me. Ha. He was right. It was like he could read her mind and knew how to handle every situation we were faced with. He got me to mediation and helped me get a fair deal. Which is all I wanted from the beginning. It was the deal he told me we would end up with and he was exactly right. He told me his fees were going to be a third of my ex’s and he was right abt that as well. Honestly his bill to me was less than I thought it would be which is unheard of with attorneys. He told me he would rather have me refer clients to him rather than bad mouth him after. He will not hold your hand or answer your crazy rants. Trust me you will have some. But he was saved me from myself many times. He’s a good guy and a straight shooter. Hire him. You won’t be sorry.

Dana took my case after an average experience with a prominent attorney in Franklin. He handled the case professionally, but spoke candidly with me as well. Which was important during a traumatic time. I wanted equal custody with my 1 year old daughter and I walked away with 43% and no finger pointing in court. Dana defended me well against bold allegations and wasn't afraid to fight for me. Thank you Dana.

Dana, You did an amazing job on helping us through this case. From the first day we spoke you assured me that you would get the case dismissed, you took the time to thoroughly explain how the process would work and there were no delays in the time frame or the court date. You truly provided us with great guidance and assistance throughout the process. I must say this was such a overwhelming time for both Jeremy and myself just dealing with the unknown and the sleepless nights and extra stress that we felt was very difficult. We are truly good people who experienced a stumble in our home and we both have learned our lesson behind this case for sure. Thank you again for representing me and handling the case as seamless as possible, I walked away yesterday holding my head higher than I have since that situation happened. Best Regards, Jeremy & Alisha

As a business owner of 34 years I have had my share of litigation. OMG I actually found an attorney I respect and really like!!! Dana is thorough and fast. He has clear thoughts and explains things well so everyone understands the situation. He doesn't make small talk and waist time and money (which is really refreshing). Litigation is a stressful situation, it's so important to have someone who is really smart on your side looking out for ALL of your best interests. He is a talented attorney and worth every penny because he doesn't waist your (hard earned) money or pad the bill with unneeded extras. Really refreshing!!! Thanks Dana!!!
