Lori is the absolute BEST! She took an already uncomfortable and heavy situation in my life and helped put me at ease. She explained in detail every avenue that we could have taken and was patient in me making my decision. It was through her guidance, understanding, her grit, and her support that I was able to walk away with what I was seeking. She will put a fight for you. She has a heart of GOLD! The whole office is amazing!

Our meeting with Trey Payne was professional and had that personal touch. This was the first time meeting Trey, I can tell you he's honest and straightforward. I felt like I had known him forever, that's how comfortable he made us feel in our meeting. He is down home, honest, professional and has the values you wish more people had. He really cares. He connected with us, and has our trust.

I hired Stacy Riker for my child custody modification case and she was absolutely amazing. Stacy always responded quickly and is very knowledgeable. Stacy took the time to hear all of my concerns and clearly, concisely outlined all the different courses of action including the positives and negatives with each choice. Without hesitation, I give Stacy my highest recommendation. Thank you Stacy and Erika for all of your help!

Lori Truitt and PPT came highly recommended to me when I started the process of filing for a divorce. Lori has integrity and is honest, ethical, and very knowledgeable. Throughout the divorce process, I wanted what was fair for my situation. Lori was there guiding me every step, letting me know if what I was asking was reasonable or if it would be favorable/unfavorable going into court. This prevented me from wasting time and money on minor things and helped us to focus our attention on the most important things.

If I became anxious or confused, she patiently explained things to me. She fought for what was right for my kids and me. In every situation there is going to be give and take and a need for negotiating, but she was able to get me awarded the most important pieces of my case. If I'm ever in need of legal assistance again, without a doubt I'll seek Lori's counsel. Thank you again Lori for everything!
