I graduated from California Western School of Law in San Diego in December 2010. Shortly thereafter, I moved from California to my hometown in Tennessee. In 2011 I was admitted to both the California and the Tennessee Bar. I now primarily handle domestic issues including divorce, child custody, adoption, and post-divorce cases as well as some select criminal law cases.

I cannot begin to tell you how amazing Kara and Amanda are. I don’t know that I would’ve ever gotten through this without them. They look for what is good and what is right and they make sure that that is what wins. Fantastic people, amazingly intelligent, and exceptional at practicing law. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you’ve done!

If I have to choose one word to describe Kara Page, it would be AMAZING!! Another attorney represented me when I consulted with Kara as my initial attorney dismissed my concerns. I later decided to separate from my at the time attorney and obtain Kara as my counsel for my divorce and custody situation. Kara’s honesty, passion, exceptional knowledge of state/federal laws and commitment to the best possible outcome for my situation led me to retain her services. Kara represented me with the upmost respect, dignity and expertise. My divorce was somewhat unique as I am a member of the LGBT community and my daughter is not my birth child. My greatest fear during this process was the possibility of me not having any legal parental rights to my 4 year old daughter I helped deliver and raise since birth. Kara’s representation led to me adopting my daughter to secure my parental rights! I found myself in a court room with my soon to be ex-wife, her attorney, Kara, the judge and my daughter celebrating my adoption and the love for my family. She also assisted me in arriving at the best custody agreement and divorce settlement for my situation. Please consider Kara for your next attorney.

I don’t know where to start with this review of my attorney, Kara. She and her staff were absolutely amazing throughout the whole divorce and child custody process. I am so thankful that I hired her to represent myself, and also in a way my children too. She was very professional but also very straight forward. She explained every process and what I needed to do to handle different situations. This process is definitely not easy but Kara and her whole staff made me feel like family and that my situation was important to them. If you are facing divorce, please consider Kara Page. You will not be disappointed.

Kara and her team are the most caring and loving group. Honest and trustworthy and I would recommend her to anyone looking for an outstanding individual to represent them. She is very knowledgeable with all the laws and represented my family with the utmost respect.

I am a dad who was going through a divorce and custody battle to obtain equal parenting time with my daughter. Not being from the area, I did not know any attorneys or anyone to ask for recommendations. I was fortunate that Mrs. Kara Page's name with PCV Law Firm was the first in my search in the Kingsport Area. I read her amazing reviews and did a phone consult. Kara immediately started working on my case. Her reviews are so true of how amazing she really is. She focused on what was fair for me when it come to a parenting plan and divorce settlement. She set our goal at the initial meeting and never took her eyes off of it. She fought with such passion and determination to obtain what was in the best interest of my daughter. She did not back down, and I will forever be grateful that I hired her as my legal counsel. In the end, Kara was able to get me an amazing very detailed permanent parenting plan and MDA. I have read reviews on many attorneys. If you want an attorney that will fight for you and never give up, then Ms. Kara Page is the best! The PCV law firm also has two other amazing attorney's JR Cook and Kyle Vaughan. Read the reviews of any site you will see why PCV was voted a top 10 family law firm! And #1 in the Kingsport Area by Reader's Choice. Thank you so much Kara!

Page, Cook, & Vaughan, PLLC is the only firm I will ever use again! I hired Kara Page to represent me through a custody modification and it was the best decision I ever made. My original parenting plan put in place by my first attorney was useless. There were contradictions throughout the paperwork, wrong boxes checked- it was a nightmare for 8 years. Ms. Page fought hard for me and I was able to get exactly the plan I asked for with a HUGE increase in time with my daughter. PCV utilizes all their available resources for the betterment of their clients including a unique multi-attorney strategy within the firm to look at each case from different angles. There is no firm that will fight harder or work more diligently on your behalf than Page, Cook, & Vaughan!

Kara from the start was down to earth and easy to work with. I was going through a divorce and she undoubtably saved my butt!! Everyone that works with her was always so nice and easy to get paperwork to or from and always answered any question I had !

I say with the upmost confidence and reverence, Mrs. Page truly is one of the top attorneys in the Tri-Cities region. Firstly, Kara is someone that genuinely cares for people by nature, who in addition just so happens to be a phenomenal lawyer. A lawyer who will go above and beyond her client's expectations, whose skill-set is unmatched in tactful deliberation, though keen and poised; as well as, an adept zest for integrity not often seen in present day courtrooms. I am forever thankful for Mrs. Page's legal representation because she literally helped change the course of my life. In my case, the charges were lessened to a rational degree which allowed my life to continue moving forward, and without Kara's counsel my livelihood would undoubtedly have been drastically altered. I can assure anyone reading this review seeking professional counsel in the Tri-Cities, that consulting or hiring attorney-at-law Kara Page will result in the vital legal guidance necessary for the Johnson City, Bristol or Kingsport area guaranteed.

Kara Page, what can I say about her that's not positive? Absolutely nothing! in 41 years, I had never needed an attorney nor ever hoped I would. However, during an ugly custody battle and additional legal issues that occurred due to this mentally and emotional time, Kara was able to negotiate a satisfactory outcome when honestly things looked bleak. Kara was able to get me the one thing I wanted more than anything, and that was time with my daughter. She also was able to get a more serious legal issue dismissed surrounding alcohol and other charges reduced. Had she not, I would have lost my job, my home, and who knows what else. Not only was she compassionate towards me and my situation, she showed tremendous empathy during a trying period in my life. I realized financially, in order to spend extra time with my daughter, it would cost me quite a hefty lump sum. You can't buy back time, and Kara fought the war and won the battle on my behalf to where I was almost granted 50/50 custody. She consults with other attorney's openly understanding there may be something in the law she is not 100% sure of without any hesitation. That shows true vulnerability and willingness to learn to leave no stone uncovered benefiting her clients. She is an advocate for her clients. And the other characteristic I loved most while working with Kara, is I always knew where she stood. Nothing was sugar coated to give false hope. She always laid out the pros and cons of every potential outcome. Out of all the attorney's available that I could have chosen, I am blessed to have picked this diamond in the rough. She is first class, professional, and a fighter...all winning attributes in my eyes. Thanks a million Kara!

Mrs. Page went above and beyond to do what was best in our case. She was very knowledgeable and explained how things would work every step of the way. She is very personable and always working for her client. We feel very blessed to have had the opportunity to work with her and would certainly recommend Mrs. Page to anyone needing an attorney.
