Manchester Divorce Lawyer
Overview
My name is Jason Lyndol Huskey. I was born at Harton Hospital in Tullahoma, Tennessee in 1977 to Robert & Sharon Huskey, both from Tullahoma. I grew up in Manchester, Tennessee. My favorite "heroes" growing up were Superman and J. R. Ewing. I began taking Karate when I was 9 years old and reached the rank of adult 2nd Degree Black Belt at the age of 16 while I was running the children's class at Duke's Isshinryu Karate in Manchester. Around that time I also began playing tennis, golf...

I began taking Karate when I was 9 years old and reached the rank of adult 2nd Degree Black Belt at the age of 16 while I was running the children's class at Duke's Isshinryu Karate in Manchester. Around that time I also began playing tennis, golf and volleyball which I still enjoy and continue to play regularly. For a number of years I had the privilege of helping William (Bill) Albaugh with the Tullahoma volleyball team. I greatly appreciated being able to do this as Bill is a "legend" in Tullahoma schools and in Middle Tennessee volleyball.
After high school, I went to Middle Tennessee State University where I majored in Criminal Justice with a minor in Psychology and an emphasis in Political Science. Growing up with a father who is a private practicing attorney and having worked in his office from the time I was 13, I was very aware of many of the stresses that go along with private practice and purposely tried to avoid following in his footsteps to some degree. I have also always felt that although many facets of the law can be learned, actually being an effective trial lawyer requires an instinct or a nature that you either have or you don't; however, after working with my father in a 2-week, 33 count Criminal Trial in Federal Court, it was all too obvious that this was where I belonged, at which time I proceeded to apply to and be accepted to the Nashville School of Law.
The Nashville School of Law provides a different kind of education than most other law schools. While most law school classes are taught by professors who are professional teachers, we were taught by different attorneys practicing in different fields, teaching us the practice of law, not just the theory. I had former Chief Justice Alolpho Birch teaching a Crimes class in my first year as well as Marshall Davidson, who had been a long time Clerk for the Supreme Court, teaching Torts, and it didn't stop there. I remember at some point watching the news one night and seeing coverage from country music singer, Sara Evans, publicized divorce and while watching the clip from inside the courtroom I realized my Domestic Relations teacher was the presiding judge, my Wills teacher was representing one of the parties and another teacher from the school who I did not personally have was representing the other party. My Evidence teacher was the presiding judge over the Perry March trial. This is all a unique experience that you just do not get at most law schools and you learn the practicing side of law as well as the legal book knowledge.
I got married in August 2006, I believe 10 days after taking the bar exam, to my wife, Kristi Davis Huskey (I am certain of the wedding date, not the bar exam date). The following year my step mother was preparing to take the bar and my father commented to me "she seems extremely stressed getting ready for this. I don't remember you being that way" to which I reminded him, "Dad, (1) it's just not in my nature to get too stressed out and (2) I was preparing for a wedding that summer". Studying for the bar was far less stressful than that. Since passing the bar in 2006, I have practiced full time with my father in Manchester.
My wife and I both spent time in Kiwanas Club until she went to school to obtain her nursing degree. She received her LPN and worked for 2 years and went back to school to get her RN degree. Approximately 2 weeks after her graduating from Motlow's RN program, she gave birth to our first child, Kylee, and 2 ½ years later we welcomed our son, Kasen. We regularly attend First Baptist Church of Manchester where I am a member of the choir.
Being in general practice work in a small town you get to meet a wide variety of people and deal with a wide variety of issues from the most basic Will or simple possession charge to bitter contentious divorces or land transactions to suing multi-million dollar corporations, reviewing thousands of documents including medical billing and coding. No two (2) sets of facts are the same and one fact here and one fact there can completely change your case. On my second day of Law School one of our teachers (probably one of my least favorite teachers) told us that he was going to teach us that day the answer to every question we would ever be asked in our profession and that answer was "It depends." Every individual case depends on each individual fact. Taking the time and effort to understand your case and all the different facts that make it unique is what I hope to be able to do for you.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level
- - Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials
- - How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost
- - How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City
- - Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
