Meet Elizabeth Yarbrough



Elizabeth Yarbrough is a Tennessee family law attorney and family mediator with over nineteen years' experience in handling complex divorce and family law matters for hundreds of clients.  She is an experienced professional specially trained in mediation, collaborative law, effective communication and advanced negotiation and conflict resolution. 
Elizabeth understands that there is nothing more important than preserving the emotional and financial health of your family.  Her practice philosophy is that the very best outcomes are those that can be negotiated outside of the courtroom, where you as the client retain decision making and self determination for yourself and your children.  Listening to her clients, understanding their goals, and providing advice to empower them to reach good settlements is always the primary goal.  
In some cases, settlement cannot be achieved due to the unreasonable negotiation tactics of the other party or their attorney, and preparation of your case for trial is an ongoing process that starts the day you hire our firm.  Our practice is designed to create an effective partnership to allow us to achieve your goals together.
