Divorce with dignity, not destruction. Clear guidance. Practical outcomes.
Lisa Jellison Hall provides divorce and family law representation in Knoxville with a focus on clarity, steady guidance, and practical outcomes. She believes that how you get through a divorce matters as much as where you end up, and works with clients to navigate that process with a plan that fits their real lives. Practicing in Knoxville since 1997, Lisa handles divorce, child custody, child support, alimony, and division of marital property throughout East Tennessee. Her clients often include professionals and individuals who want to resolve matters thoughtfully and move forward without unnecessary conflict. Some cases resolve efficiently through agreement, while others require litigation. She is prepared for both and provides a realistic assessment of options and likely outcomes so clients can make informed decisions. Her approach is straightforward: she does not manufacture conflict or prolong a process unnecessarily. Clients value her direct communication, responsiveness, and ability to remain steady in difficult situations. She helps clients stay focused on what matters, make sound decisions, and protect their long-term interests. Lisa is also a Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 31 Family Law Mediator, helping families resolve disputes privately and efficiently outside of court. She welcomes referrals from attorneys throughout the region. She has spent her entire career with Hodges, Doughty & Carson, PLLC, serving East Tennessee since 1931.

Lisa assisted with my son's divorce and although it was a difficult time with heavy emotions, I appreciated her promptness, her advice, and her focus on the issues and the decisions without the emotional influence. She helped him achieve the best outcome possible given the circumstances.

Lisa represented me in my recent divorce. She and her staff (especially Karen) were professional, responsive, knowledgeable, and patient with my lack of legalese! I would highly recommend her. They are very responsive and took the time to answer my questions. It was an unexpected & nerve wracking process to go through, however with Lisa representing me, I was less nervous and did not feel alone and unsupported.

Lisa & Karen were great every step of the way. They were extremely helpful, responsive, and informative. They made my agreed divorce a lot easier. Would deal with again.
