About

I am a native of Sparta, Tennessee, and have always planned to remain in the Upper Cumberland area. My office and home are located in Cookeville, centrally located so that I may easily represent my clients in the surrounding counties. I'm passionate about what I do, and I am always looking for ways to improve my clients' experiences during what can be a stressful and painful process. I am the only attorney in the Upper Cumberland area to become a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst. This required specific coursework and testing to gain an in-depth understanding of the financial consequences of divorce. I did this so I can better understand my clients' options, and I could then provide clients with options. Educated clients are empowered clients. I also have attended Collaborative Divorce training. This process is not new, but is under-utilized in the Upper Cumberland. As a trained Rule 31 Listed Family Law Mediator, I also have more in-depth experience when I accompany clients to their own mediations. My office serves all the cities in the Upper Cumberland region, including Cookeville, Sparta, Livingston, Gainesboro, Crossville, Celina, and the surrounding counties.

I cannot say enough about Kelsy Miller and her legal team. I have had to call on her multiple times over the years to handle complicated circumstances that have arisen with child custody issues. She is professional, courteous, knowledgeable, and she truly cares about the unique situations that her clients face. Her encouragement and tenacity definitely got the best outcome for myself and for my children. I have recommended her to family and friends without hesitation. If you are looking for a family law attorney, look no further. Kelsy Miller is the total package!

We hired Kelsy Miller a year ago to help us through an extremely difficult time. Kelsy and her team comprehensively walked us through every step of the process, answered any questions we had, and always provided an answer in a timely manner. Although our court case took longer than we originally expected, (this was no one person’s fault and actually something she had advised us could happen due to the type of case), Kelsy never wavered with her focus and determination to achieve the best possible outcome for the minor children involved. It is overly apparent that she cares for children and strives to keep their best interest in mind. When it comes to representation in the court system, you do not want to settle for anything less than “absolute best.” Kelsy proved time and time again that we made the right decision in choosing her to help us through this process. She displays exceptional tact, intelligence, and class in and out of the courtroom. Kelsy provided outstanding representation and we will not hesitate to keep her by our side in the future should any other legal needs arise. We would recommend her to anyone seeking fair, honest, superior counsel.

After scheduling consultations with at least 5 different lawyers between Livingston, TN and Cookeville, TN, we had almost lost hope trying to find a lawyer that acted like they even cared about our case, especially being a child custody case representing the father. Our case definitely had special circumstances that most lawyers seemed to turn away from. However after speaking with Kelsy for the first time, we finally found someone who was willing to endure this battle with us! Kelsy is very sweet and down to earth and was very upfront about best and worst case scenarios with us, provided guidance where we needed it and always made sure that we knew she supported our decision 100%. We knew she was on our team and right there fighting the battle with us the whole time. The entire staff at Miller Law was outstanding, especially Kelsy & Jessica. Very responsive to phone calls and emails and stayed in touch for the entire duration of our case keeping us updated with every single piece of information that was presented to them, even checking in on our how our family was doing with all the changes. Very upfront about time frames and costs. Very outstanding when guiding us and helping us obtain the evidence for our case. Jessica & Kelsy also helped us, as the clients, be very organized and prepared while also making sure we had copies of all paperwork for our case. Kelsy & Jessica were always there to talk to us or answer any questions whether it was via phone call, email or us just walking into the office unannounced and even willing to fit us in for any last minute sit down meetings that we requested. Kelsy was very prepared at each of our court dates. Not once did we feel like she missed one single detail. Kelsy helped us to achieve the outcome that we prayed for in our case! She will continue to be our lawyer for any future family issues that we may have, and we would recommend her to absolutely everyone!

Kelsy and her staff helped me through such a difficult time in my divorce and custody case. She goes by the book and takes no shortcuts when it comes to helping and being there for her clients. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone in the Upper Cumberland area looking for a family law attorney. My case started in 2015 when I was being abused by my husband in front of my 2 small children, my husband was arrested and I contacted Kelsy's office about my case and she immediately contacted me back, I had emailed pictures of myself after the last incident and her response was "did you get ran over by a car"? She helped me through the biggest battle of my life and helped my children legally be safe with me where they belong. She never told me that I had to do anything or that I had to take the children from their father, which is something I would never want to do. After a war with my ex husband in and out of court and in and out of jail my divorce and custody were finalized in 2017 and exactly the way I want it. I could never thank Miller Law Office enough for going above and beyond for my family and I.

During the course of 2 years, and dealing with a TPR and custody battle over my son, Kelsy worked tirelessly to make sure we achieved our goal. After many struggles and hoops that we had to jump through, and with the never ending fight Kelsy put up, we were finally able to gain my son back. If I had to do it all over, Kelsy would be my only choice. She is absolutely amazing, and puts your every need before her own. I would highly recommend retaining her for any family matter.

As a guy going through divorce, you almost immediately feel as though you are about to get your butt handed to you by the courts in a divorce case, regardless of fault. However, Kelsey and her team did an outstanding job working for me, and my interests with my children. I feel that it would be a long shot to have come away from this process with any more equitable of an outcome than I received. That is due to the work that she and her team did on my behalf. Costs could have been much worse, but her team prepares you in how to make the most of the time for which you are billed. I would recommend her services to any guy going through a divorce, especially if you have kids and assets that will have to be divided. She works for your best interests and allows you to give direction and input as well. She made it feel like a team process.

I highly recommend Kelsy Austin Miller, she handled my divorce in 2016. I was afraid of the entire process because my ex-husband was an intimidating local law enforcement officer. Often times during the process I felt bullied by him, and Kelsy was alway quick to reassure me that it was just a tactic and everything would be ok. She was on point with that observation, and the divorce ended up being smooth and Kelsy did absolutely amazing job!
