I needed some help with a small estate affidavit after my father passed. I live out of the state of Tennessee making it very difficult to get straight answers from anyone and eventually finding that a couple lawyers were trying to nickel and dime me - starting with one price and then coming back with another. Then I found Tara. She was the answer to my prayers: upfront, informative, confident, and most importantly, honest. She quoted me a flat fee for the work and filing fees for probate court, she constantly kept me informed with paperwork updates and the like. She was empathic to the fact that I was dealing with a stressful situation. The human element of the law is hard to find sometimes. I really appreciated that coming from Tara. She's got a great sense of humor, too, which is usually important in times like these. She takes her work very seriously. She also - after no longer being her client - answered my emails full of questions and met with me to go over things in person once I'd gotten into town. I thought she was great and I feel so lucky to have found her. I'd definitely recommend Tara.

I am so pleased with Ms. Hawley. she is concise, and is truly knowledgeable in her profession. As a woman handling my Mother's estate I started out with an attorney that kept raising the fee. Ms. Hawley offered me a flat fee and addressed all of my concerns. I chose Ms. Hawley because she was a part of a large firm that can offer a depth of experience in handling a legal situation. The office staff is always attentive and pleasant. Tara has been excellent.

I engaged Ms Carter of the Higgins Firm, to handle the estate of a deceased family member. She was very diligent in resolving all the issues in this complicated estate. I feel that she was very successful in bringing about the best possible results. Ms Carter explained in detail her actions every step of the way. She answered all e-mails and phone calls very promptly and gave frequent updates on the progress of her work. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a Probate Attorney.

We would like to commened Higgins Firm for having such caring professionals as Tara Carter, Christie Armstrong and Don Byrd for their tireless effort on behalf of our Uncle Robert Garrett and his son. They went beyond what we or anyone could have expected. Their compassionate caring professional attitude was very comforting in our stressful time of need. We would recommend the Higgin Firm and these wonderful people to all, Sincerely Jim and Doreen

Tara was able to walk us through the probate process. We appreciate her reliability and promptness to our questions about the process and what we needed to do to get an estate settled.

Tara Hawley Carter helped me with probate of my father's estate. I only had to appear in court one time. Tara handled all of the rest and was able to get some of the claims dismissed. I would have never believed that would happen. She was patient and made sure I knew what was going on at all times. She answered my questions quickly. If you need help probating an estate, you can feel confident in Tara.

My case is still pending. My life partner received poor care in a facility and the errors made in his treatment resulted in his death. I hired The Higgins Firm and have only positive things to say. With the estate involved and the fact that my partner and I were not legally married, Tara has gone above and beyond to assist me with everything. Having Tara and the other staff at The Higgins Firm have eased my mind and taken the burden from me.

Tara, it has been a pleasure working with Tara. She has kept me informed with the status of my case and what steps were necessary to proceed with the closing of the case.

Attorney Tara Carter helped me with my Probate matter earlier this year. From the first time I met with her, i felt at ease! She knew all the ins and outs of my case and what laws we needed to go by. She was always willing to take calls when I had questions. Her Assistant was also very friendly and they both seemed to genuinely care about myself and the situation I was left with after my mother passed. I have since recommended 3 other friends to Christy and Tara and they have all had nothing but excellent things to say about the duo. Thankful for everything the Higgins Firm did for my family!

When my father passed away, our family wasn't prepared to handle the legal issues that followed. Luckily we found Tara! She was able to talk us through what needed to be done and reassured us that she would work as hard as she could to meet our goals. Tara was great about keeping us informed about everything she did and we appreciated how easy she made it for us during such a difficult time. Our family is forever grateful to Tara for all of the hard work she put into helping us sort out all of the legal problems that surrounded my father's death. Our family will no doubt continue to use Tara for any other probate or estate issues that we might face in the future!
