About
I have been licensed to practice law for over 31 years. My background includes service in the U.S. Army Judge Advocate Generals Corpoffering me a wealth of military knowledge and experience. I also served as a prosecuter, served as the Legal Advisor to the Metro Nashville Police Department, and have extensive litigation experience with those organizations and in private practice. You will find that I am direct and very truthful with my clients. I often have clients state that they appreciate that I am a "straight shooter". My firm offers courteous, compassionate, honest, aggressive, and affective legal services. My firm is focused on family law (divorces, seperations, adoption, custody) , criminal law, and personal injury law, though we offer and will be happy to discuss with you services in a broad range of other legal areas.

Honest and to the point. Aggressive in the courtrooms. Highly recommended. He put a lot of time in my case and I am thankful. I have referred him to another family member.
Mr. Stanford gave me a light at the end of tunnel. Even though he’s not representing , because my case is in Florida; he helped me understand some of the issues. Also, spoke to my lawyer in Florida , where my case is pending. Plus, didn’t charge me a penny for advice. He’s a lawyer that I absolutely recommend if you have any Family issues. He sounds like he really knows what he’s talking about, and he’s has lots of experience . It literally took him five minutes to understand my concerns. I will hire him as soon as I get my case transferred to Tennessee. Thank you Dennis!
Mr. Stanford has represented me twice; once when my son’s father and I first established our parenting plan, and again several years later when we were PCSing to a new base. He is the absolute definition of a straight shooter. He doesn’t mince words or set unrealistic expectations, and he did more than his share of due diligence with regard to reviewing material for the case. Both times we were able to settle without it turning into an ugly courtroom brawl, which will help maintain my relationship with my coparent as we move forward. His work is invaluable.
Mr.Standford was my attorney in my divorce case and setting up a name change for my daughter and a parenting plan. Mr.Standford went above and beyond to help me with both these situations. He is very respectful and honest and works hard for you. I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants a great lawyer and who will work for you. I will continue to use Mr.standford for any future needs I may have.
Mr. Stanford is very knowledgeable and punctual lawyer. He answered every question along the way and communicated with a fire in his spirit with the DA on my behalf. His secretary Cindy is phenomenal, she emailed me and kept me up to date with all information regarding my case. Mr. Standford is well worth the hire for any legal issues.
Mr. Stanfford is representing me in 3 related business matters and if I could give him 15 stars, I would have! After having retained 2 attorneys for the same matter BEFORE I met Mr. Stanfford - I saw the difference on his approach the moment I met him. He listened, he briefly viewed my documents, he asked questions, he took notes! WOW! All that in our very FIRST consultation! None of the previous two attorneys had done any of such things for the several months that they were retained by me for these cases! He asked me what I was looking for in the person I would hire to represent me and my answer was: I don't want nor do I need a "defense" attorney! I want and need an "offense" attorney! I need someone that is proactive rather than reactive, someone that would take the initiative to move the case along instead of sitting around for months letting the other party take the lead and decide when and where things take place! He offered me options and choices on how to proceed to get the best results at the fastest turn around. I terminated my second attorney on the way out the door from Mr. Stafford's office! For the first time in 8 months I HAD HOPE! And I was NOT disappointed! Within hours his knowledgeable, professional, dedicated assistant e-mailed me with questions about the case and requested more documents! I didn't get around to reply until very late in the evening, she replied right back! (And that was way past the business hours!) I thought to myself, wow, these people actually work! Like really WORK for their clients! Considering that my previous attorney was out of the office 3 out of the 4 weeks she was "my" attorney, this was a shock for me! (Yes my previous attorney was "home sick" one week; "on spring break" second week; "Easter Holiday" third week... you get the picture) So to continue my story, Mr. Stanfford has already reviewed the case, prepared documents, and OMG - Cindy, his awesome legal assistant, sent everything to me to review and verify that what was getting ready to go out to the other parties was correct and that I approved all the information stated on those documents! They actually cared enough to tell me BEFORE they sent the letters out! And those letters were tough as nails and made it clear to the other parties that "there is a new sheriff in town, and his name is Dennis Stanfford". I was thrilled! I have been a Clarksville resident for 23+ years and as a business owner and active in the community I have met and done business with several attorneys over the years. I will say with absolute certainty NONE of them has delivered at this speed and with such force as Mr. Stanfford! If any of my clients ever needs an attorney in the future, I will definitely send them to Mr. Stanfford and I know they WILL be taken care off! ***For anyone reading this review and being skeptical about it - I am too when I read online reviews as I don't know if it is written by a real person or if it is some paid for advertisement. Rest assured, I am a real person, a real client of Dennis Stanfford and very happy to work with him!
Mr. Stanford worked diligently to ensure my case was handled professionally and honestly. Recommend him for any of your legal issues.
Very kind and compassionate. Great attorney
I hired Dennis previously for my divorce, which went very quickly and smoothly. In this case, Dennis was kind and listened to my problem. He was professional and offered suggestions that were helpful.
Dennis is a great person and attorney. He graciously volunteered to handle a serious traffic matter for a veteran pro bono and did a wonderful job. I highly recommend him.
