This woman—my own Lion —defended my son during his murder trial. I swear to you all that she is a beast in the courtroom. Not to brag, but the truth always wins out. She handled two of my son's cases, and he was found not guilty on his 187. She's one of the best troops, and I know that God will give his strongest soldiers the greatest fights! I believe in God! The moment she informed me that my son was headed home, I could not have felt more blessed. While her team were doing their homework, they were listening to police calls, and yes, they heard some information intended to ensure that he was found not guilty. If any one of you want to come home to be with your families y’all better get her on your team. She did have a team of people but the my lion Melissa D. is the truth. Y’all better get y’all one of the best on your team. Get her on your team if any of you choose to return home and be with your family. She had a group of individuals working for her, but Melissa D., my lion, is the real deal. You all need to appoint one of your top players to your team. Love me some her and y’all will too.

Tyler was super helpful helping out my son who attends UT and found himself with some shameful and questionable charges from UTPD. Tyler was very responsive and meet with my son and appeared in court on his behalf and he meet with the Knox county DA to have these charges dismissed and he also had this charge Expunged from my son’s record since this bogus charge would of haunted my son for the rest of his life.

Hands down Tyler is a great lawyer!! He's there for all of you're questions and concerns. He was very professional and straightforward. I couldn't imagine if I ever needed a lawyer again to call someone else. Tyler I will recommend to anyone! Thank you Tyler Caviness for believing me, fighting for me and winning my case!

Words cannot express the way this firm handled my difficult case with such professionalism and thoughtfulness. Tyler and Mellissa showed such thoroughness and caring for my needs and my wife's well being, their is not enough way's to thank them for the excellent outcome of this multi-felony case, that ended in complete dismissal. The excellent aftercare they have given us even after 2 years has we felt, that their firm has become part of our family. Many thanks Roy & Sue

We recently worked with Attorney Melissa DiRado for a legal matter within the family. Melissa was very compassionate and guided us through an unfamiliar territory. She helped us understand the process and gave us our best legal options while helping us navigate through all plausible scenarios. Melissa made sure she was available when needed and was very prompt in her responses. Most importantly she was our fiercest advocate through the entire process and always looked after our best interest.
