About

Margaret Held has known she wanted to be a lawyer since she was 8 years old, hearing the stories of her grandfather’s practice in Knoxville. "When you decide to become a lawyer when you are a kid, it’s because you want to stick up for the little guy and take down the bully." As a new attorney, that attitude landed Ms. Held a prestigious Equal Justice Fellowship, awarded by the National Association for Public Interest Law to honor lawyers who make unique contributions in public law. The Fellowship allowed Ms. Held to represent entrepreneurs and non-profit organizations to create and retain jobs in poor neighborhoods. "These folks could not afford corporate counsel," says Ms. Held. "It was great to be a new attorney, working up the legal documents to start a bank, suing the government over its use of economic incentives, and representing welfare moms to start businesses ranging from child-cares to ice cream parlors." After the fellowship ended, Ms. Held continued her mission by founding Held Law Firm. "The Firm exists to support lawyers who have enough little kid in them to love the fight - who wake up each morning excited to take on the big boys, and who haven’t become cynical about ideals like justice and fair play."Ms. Held represented India Tracy in her lawsuit against the Union County school system for religious discrimination. She represented Citizens for Police Review in its battle for increased accountability within KPD. She helped the Tennessee Industrial Renewal Network to fight for a living wage for Knoxville workers. She obtained a record-breaking settlement for a Department of Energy whistleblower who reported safety violations in Oak Ridge. She represented KnoxRecall in its drive for increased accountability from Knoxville city lawmakers, and Knox County over abuses within the juvenile detention facility. "I suppose that these sorts of lawsuits haven’t made me many friends in certain circles," laughs Ms. Held. "But they weren’t who I went to law school for anyway." "But seriously," she continues, "As fun as those cases are, the issues that matter most to real people are much more personal. Law, for regular people, is about your kids, your job, your business, your neighborhood. That’s why we specialize in family law, employment law, and non-profit law." "My best hope is that we will take the mystery out of the legal process for my clients - that they will know how the legal system works, feel like they got sound advice and a good outcome, and know that, win or lose, we fought the good fight for them. Big cases are great, but there’s nothing more satisfying for me than to represent an honest, hard-working person well."

I hired Margaret Held to secure visitation with my grandchild because visitation was being denied. My specific circumstances were "unique" and somewhat difficult. However, she fought for me and I received everything I was asking for. Without Margaret Held I would not be able to spend time with my precious grandchild.

When we contacted Ms. Held and her firm we had already been turned down by several other firms. The firms that turned us away either stated the case was too complex for them to handle or that there was no reasonable legal route to our goal. Our goal was the removal of my two children from a household where they were being abused and neglected. We had no choice but to continue seeking an attorney who was willing to represent us. We, myself and my parents, are Georgia residents. My children were at the time residents of Tennessee. Ms. Held was undaunted. She took our case. She won. My children are safe as a result. I and my family sleep well at night because of the diligence shown by Held Law Firm. Ms. Held personally represented the interests of myself and my children. She showed herself to be tenacious, insightful, and thorough. And with the stakes as high as they were...nothing less than the excellence and professionalism shown by the staff at Held Law Firm would have been acceptable. I was completely satisfied with the result of the case.

She always seems to know exactly what direction your case should go on and takes all routes to get to the outcome you desire. Very knowledgeable and understanding and worked to get the best outcome for my child and our family. She has done so much for me and my child and I can never thank her enough for all the hard work and hours she has given us.

I've worked with more attorneys than I like to think about, but Margaret is the first one who seems to care about my outcome. She's quick to respond to any questions I have, and she's full of ideas about how to get me closer to what I want. If you're tired of attorneys who seem to keep billing without getting anything accomplished (or who go silent for weeks at a time), Margaret and her team at Held Law Firm are a breath of fresh air.

The day you got married, you never thought you'd need a divorce lawyer. But now you do. You want someone who's competent, professional, knows the law, has her feet on the ground, and a good head on her shoulders. You want someone who will represent your interests fairly, and who will respect your need to keep costs down. You want someone who will respond to your emails! You want Margaret Held. You want Margaret Held and her super-competent, super-professional, super-effective team. I hired Margaret and her team to represent me in what unfortunately turned out to be a "high conflict" divorce. I can't say it was fun. But I can say, I would hire Margaret again in a heartbeat. In a New York minute. You get the idea. When I talk to close friends, friends I love, and they ask me for advice, I refer them to Margaret, without hesitation, and without qualification. She's that good.

Ms. Held and her staff helped me through my divorce and were amazingly supportive during this time when I was so stressed I could barely function. They were all professional and compassionate. I highly recommend Ms. Held; she is the best!

My wife and I hired the Held law firm for a highly contested child custody case. The Held law firm is staffed with only the best and they will fight for you in court. They cleaned up a mess made by our previous attorney, and got our case moving forward. Margaret has the experience and skills to get you the best results possible. Margaret has a way of taking charge of situations and not letting things just happen. She is a real fighter in the court room. My wife’s ex tried to block documents, lower child support, and delay the trial. We got the documents, child support got raised, the trial date didn’t change and Margaret actually got them to settle before the trial. Hire them, you won’t be disappointed.

We used Held Law Firm to handle a custody trial for us. They were amazing. We had tried others firms in the past but they were above and beyond any experience we had come across. The entire office works together as a team and they know the law. Margaret Held has employed only the best in her office so she won't even consider taking your case if she feels she cannot win it. The are more like family to me now than anything else. I would highly recommend them and if they cannot win your case, it can't be won.

There isn't a better group in Knoxville. Very efficient and so easy to work with. I can't say enough about how wonderful Held Law Firm truly is. They went above and beyond for my Mother during her (senseless and ugly) divorce. I wouldn't go anywhere else for something like this. Very highly recommended!

Margaret Held is by far the best attorney in the Knoxville area! I had previously been represented by two attorneys, which resulted in over two years of delayed court hearings, numerous unsuccessful meditations, and costly legal fees. I felt hopeless and was doubtful if there would ever be justice in my case. Hiring Margaret Held was the best decision I had ever made, and I only wish I had hired her in the beginning. She fought for me when no one else would. I can honestly say it does matter the attorney you have. Throughout the case, she provided solid legal counsel, listened, supported and protected me. She is strong, aggressive, hardworking, honest and ethical. Margaret Held always quickly answered my emails, phone calls and genuinely cared about my case. She also made a conscious effort to keep the legal fees low and went above and beyond my expectations for looking out for the best interest of myself and my children. I am extremely grateful for the Held Law firm for giving me "my life back." It is the only Law Firm I will continue to recommend to my friends and family.

Our goal was the removal of my two children from a household where they were being abused and neglected. We had no choice but to continue seeking an attorney who was willing to represent us. We, myself and my parents, are Georgia residents. My children were at the time residents of Tennessee. Ms. Held was undaunted. She took our case. She won. My children are safe as a result. I and my family sleep well at night because of the diligence shown by Held Law Firm. Ms. Held personally represented the interests of myself and my children. She showed herself to be tenacious, insightful, and thorough. And with the stakes as high as they were...nothing less than the excellence and professionalism shown by the staff at Held Law Firm would have been acceptable. I was completely satisfied with the result of the case.

She always seems to know exactly what direction your case should go on and takes all routes to get to the outcome you desire. Very knowledgeable and understanding and worked to get the best outcome for my child and our family. She has done so much for me and my child and I can never thank her enough for all the hard work and hours she has given us.

I've worked with more attorneys than I like to think about, but Margaret is the first one who seems to care about my outcome. She's quick to respond to any questions I have, and she's full of ideas about how to get me closer to what I want. If you're tired of attorneys who seem to keep billing without getting anything accomplished (or who go silent for weeks at a time), Margaret and her team at Held Law Firm are a breath of fresh air.

The day you got married, you never thought you'd need a divorce lawyer. But now you do. You want someone who's competent, professional, knows the law, has her feet on the ground, and a good head on her shoulders. You want someone who will represent your interests fairly, and who will respect your need to keep costs down. You want someone who will respond to your emails! You want Margaret Held. You want Margaret Held and her super-competent, super-professional, super-effective team. I hired Margaret and her team to represent me in what unfortunately turned out to be a "high conflict" divorce. I can't say it was fun. But I can say, I would hire Margaret again in a heartbeat. In a New York minute. You get the idea. When I talk to close friends, friends I love, and they ask me for advice, I refer them to Margaret, without hesitation, and without qualification. She's that good.

Ms. Held and her staff helped me through my divorce and were amazingly supportive during this time when I was so stressed I could barely function. They were all professional and compassionate. I highly recommend Ms. Held; she is the best!

My wife and I hired the Held law firm for a highly contested child custody case. The Held law firm is staffed with only the best and they will fight for you in court. They cleaned up a mess made by our previous attorney, and got our case moving forward. Margaret has the experience and skills to get you the best results possible. Margaret has a way of taking charge of situations and not letting things just happen. She is a real fighter in the court room. My wife’s ex tried to block documents, lower child support, and delay the trial. We got the documents, child support got raised, the trial date didn’t change and Margaret actually got them to settle before the trial. Hire them, you won’t be disappointed.

We used Held Law Firm to handle a custody trial for us. They were amazing. We had tried others firms in the past but they were above and beyond any experience we had come across. The entire office works together as a team and they know the law. Margaret Held has employed only the best in her office so she won't even consider taking your case if she feels she cannot win it. The are more like family to me now than anything else. I would highly recommend them and if they cannot win your case, it can't be won.

There isn't a better group in Knoxville. Very efficient and so easy to work with. I can't say enough about how wonderful Held Law Firm truly is. They went above and beyond for my Mother during her (senseless and ugly) divorce. I wouldn't go anywhere else for something like this. Very highly recommended!

Margaret Held is by far the best attorney in the Knoxville area! I had previously been represented by two attorneys, which resulted in over two years of delayed court hearings, numerous unsuccessful meditations, and costly legal fees. I felt hopeless and was doubtful if there would ever be justice in my case. Hiring Margaret Held was the best decision I had ever made, and I only wish I had hired her in the beginning. She fought for me when no one else would. I can honestly say it does matter the attorney you have. Throughout the case, she provided solid legal counsel, listened, supported and protected me. She is strong, aggressive, hardworking, honest and ethical. Margaret Held always quickly answered my emails, phone calls and genuinely cared about my case. She also made a conscious effort to keep the legal fees low and went above and beyond my expectations for looking out for the best interest of myself and my children. I am extremely grateful for the Held Law firm for giving me "my life back." It is the only Law Firm I will continue to recommend to my friends and family.

Margaret has a way of taking charge of situations and not letting things just happen. She is a real fighter in the court room. My wife’s ex tried to block documents, lower child support, and delay the trial. We got the documents, child support got raised, the trial date didn’t change and Margaret actually got them to settle before the trial. Hire them, you won’t be disappointed.

We used Held Law Firm to handle a custody trial for us. They were amazing. We had tried others firms in the past but they were above and beyond any experience we had come across. The entire office works together as a team and they know the law. Margaret Held has employed only the best in her office so she won't even consider taking your case if she feels she cannot win it. The are more like family to me now than anything else. I would highly recommend them and if they cannot win your case, it can't be won.

There isn't a better group in Knoxville. Very efficient and so easy to work with. I can't say enough about how wonderful Held Law Firm truly is. They went above and beyond for my Mother during her (senseless and ugly) divorce. I wouldn't go anywhere else for something like this. Very highly recommended!

Margaret Held is by far the best attorney in the Knoxville area! I had previously been represented by two attorneys, which resulted in over two years of delayed court hearings, numerous unsuccessful meditations, and costly legal fees. I felt hopeless and was doubtful if there would ever be justice in my case. Hiring Margaret Held was the best decision I had ever made, and I only wish I had hired her in the beginning. She fought for me when no one else would. I can honestly say it does matter the attorney you have. Throughout the case, she provided solid legal counsel, listened, supported and protected me. She is strong, aggressive, hardworking, honest and ethical. Margaret Held always quickly answered my emails, phone calls and genuinely cared about my case. She also made a conscious effort to keep the legal fees low and went above and beyond my expectations for looking out for the best interest of myself and my children. I am extremely grateful for the Held Law firm for giving me "my life back." It is the only Law Firm I will continue to recommend to my friends and family.

I hired Margaret Held to secure visitation with my grandchild because visitation was being denied. My specific circumstances were "unique" and somewhat difficult. However, she fought for me and I received everything I was asking for. Without Margaret Held I would not be able to spend time with my precious grandchild.

When we contacted Ms. Held and her firm we had already been turned down by several other firms. The firms that turned us away either stated the case was too complex for them to handle or that there was no reasonable legal route to our goal. Our goal was the removal of my two children from a household where they were being abused and neglected. We had no choice but to continue seeking an attorney who was willing to represent us. We, myself and my parents, are Georgia residents. My children were at the time residents of Tennessee. Ms. Held was undaunted. She took our case. She won. My children are safe as a result. I and my family sleep well at night because of the diligence shown by Held Law Firm. Ms. Held personally represented the interests of myself and my children. She showed herself to be tenacious, insightful, and thorough. And with the stakes as high as they were...nothing less than the excellence and professionalism shown by the staff at Held Law Firm would have been acceptable. I was completely satisfied with the result of the case.

She always seems to know exactly what direction your case should go on and takes all routes to get to the outcome you desire. Very knowledgeable and understanding and worked to get the best outcome for my child and our family. She has done so much for me and my child and I can never thank her enough for all the hard work and hours she has given us.

I've worked with more attorneys than I like to think about, but Margaret is the first one who seems to care about my outcome. She's quick to respond to any questions I have, and she's full of ideas about how to get me closer to what I want. If you're tired of attorneys who seem to keep billing without getting anything accomplished (or who go silent for weeks at a time), Margaret and her team at Held Law Firm are a breath of fresh air.

The day you got married, you never thought you'd need a divorce lawyer. But now you do. You want someone who's competent, professional, knows the law, has her feet on the ground, and a good head on her shoulders. You want someone who will represent your interests fairly, and who will respect your need to keep costs down. You want someone who will respond to your emails! You want Margaret Held. You want Margaret Held and her super-competent, super-professional, super-effective team. I hired Margaret and her team to represent me in what unfortunately turned out to be a "high conflict" divorce. I can't say it was fun. But I can say, I would hire Margaret again in a heartbeat. In a New York minute. You get the idea. When I talk to close friends, friends I love, and they ask me for advice, I refer them to Margaret, without hesitation, and without qualification. She's that good.

We, myself and my parents, are Georgia residents. My children were at the time residents of Tennessee. Ms. Held was undaunted. She took our case. She won. My children are safe as a result. I and my family sleep well at night because of the diligence shown by Held Law Firm. Ms. Held personally represented the interests of myself and my children. She showed herself to be tenacious, insightful, and thorough. And with the stakes as high as they were...nothing less than the excellence and professionalism shown by the staff at Held Law Firm would have been acceptable. I was completely satisfied with the result of the case.

She always seems to know exactly what direction your case should go on and takes all routes to get to the outcome you desire. Very knowledgeable and understanding and worked to get the best outcome for my child and our family. She has done so much for me and my child and I can never thank her enough for all the hard work and hours she has given us.

I've worked with more attorneys than I like to think about, but Margaret is the first one who seems to care about my outcome. She's quick to respond to any questions I have, and she's full of ideas about how to get me closer to what I want. If you're tired of attorneys who seem to keep billing without getting anything accomplished (or who go silent for weeks at a time), Margaret and her team at Held Law Firm are a breath of fresh air.

The day you got married, you never thought you'd need a divorce lawyer. But now you do. You want someone who's competent, professional, knows the law, has her feet on the ground, and a good head on her shoulders. You want someone who will represent your interests fairly, and who will respect your need to keep costs down. You want someone who will respond to your emails! You want Margaret Held. You want Margaret Held and her super-competent, super-professional, super-effective team. I hired Margaret and her team to represent me in what unfortunately turned out to be a "high conflict" divorce. I can't say it was fun. But I can say, I would hire Margaret again in a heartbeat. In a New York minute. You get the idea. When I talk to close friends, friends I love, and they ask me for advice, I refer them to Margaret, without hesitation, and without qualification. She's that good.

Ms. Held and her staff helped me through my divorce and were amazingly supportive during this time when I was so stressed I could barely function. They were all professional and compassionate. I highly recommend Ms. Held; she is the best!

My wife and I hired the Held law firm for a highly contested child custody case. The Held law firm is staffed with only the best and they will fight for you in court. They cleaned up a mess made by our previous attorney, and got our case moving forward. Margaret has the experience and skills to get you the best results possible. Margaret has a way of taking charge of situations and not letting things just happen. She is a real fighter in the court room. My wife’s ex tried to block documents, lower child support, and delay the trial. We got the documents, child support got raised, the trial date didn’t change and Margaret actually got them to settle before the trial. Hire them, you won’t be disappointed.

We used Held Law Firm to handle a custody trial for us. They were amazing. We had tried others firms in the past but they were above and beyond any experience we had come across. The entire office works together as a team and they know the law. Margaret Held has employed only the best in her office so she won't even consider taking your case if she feels she cannot win it. The are more like family to me now than anything else. I would highly recommend them and if they cannot win your case, it can't be won.

There isn't a better group in Knoxville. Very efficient and so easy to work with. I can't say enough about how wonderful Held Law Firm truly is. They went above and beyond for my Mother during her (senseless and ugly) divorce. I wouldn't go anywhere else for something like this. Very highly recommended!

Margaret Held is by far the best attorney in the Knoxville area! I had previously been represented by two attorneys, which resulted in over two years of delayed court hearings, numerous unsuccessful meditations, and costly legal fees. I felt hopeless and was doubtful if there would ever be justice in my case. Hiring Margaret Held was the best decision I had ever made, and I only wish I had hired her in the beginning. She fought for me when no one else would. I can honestly say it does matter the attorney you have. Throughout the case, she provided solid legal counsel, listened, supported and protected me. She is strong, aggressive, hardworking, honest and ethical. Margaret Held always quickly answered my emails, phone calls and genuinely cared about my case. She also made a conscious effort to keep the legal fees low and went above and beyond my expectations for looking out for the best interest of myself and my children. I am extremely grateful for the Held Law firm for giving me "my life back." It is the only Law Firm I will continue to recommend to my friends and family.

I hired Margaret Held to secure visitation with my grandchild because visitation was being denied. My specific circumstances were "unique" and somewhat difficult. However, she fought for me and I received everything I was asking for. Without Margaret Held I would not be able to spend time with my precious grandchild.
