I just wanted to thank you for all of your hard work in helping to finalize the child support settlement. I know that we got off from the wrong start, but I think that personal stressors contributed to my perception of your work (home-schooling, ex-husband, etc…). You did an excellent job, and I would highly recommend you to anyone seeking expert legal advice. L.C. is very lucky to have you, but I’m sure that he is already well aware of that.
I just wanted to E-mail you and tell you how much I appreciate everything that you have done for me throughout my divorce. You have been so wonderful!! I couldn't have asked for a better person to help me through all of this. Through my entire divorce it has seemed like you understand exactly what I have been going through and that has been so helpful... The very first day that I called you, you made me feel so comfortable! You were so easy to talk to and I felt like I could really relate with you. I just want you to know how much your help and support have meant to me. I can't say thank you enough... Good luck with everything and thanks again for all that you have done! You are GREAT!!!
reflecting is a good way to clear your mind. i find myself doing that just about every day. for some reason, i started thinking about last summer the other day. i looked at where i am now; peaceful, calm, sane(well mostly), and...happy. truly happy. then i thought about last year<<{CHAOSDRAMAMADNESS}>> i remember my heart stopping every time the phone rang, and the dread i felt wondering what would unfold next. every day was a whirlwind of emotional overload. several people became a haven to me, but only one guided me through that storm... you. there is no doubt in my mind that God sent me to you because He knew you would take care of me. and you can say you were only doing your job, but you saw me through the greatest crisis of my life to date. there are no words to express my gratitude to you. through this process, i am learning a lot about myself and who i really am-without someone else's definition attached to me. i can be by myself and really be okay. i believe that God has set this time aside for just me and Him. that was kinda hard to accept, but i have and it really makes my life easier. i think i am better for having gone through this whole thing. i just wanted to say thank you for going through it with me.....
Thank you so much for your help. You are a blessing to me. I meant to email you to let you know that I made it back safely but I have been trying to work on these other tests to become certified in Microsoft. I did receive the documents from Lori today. Also I wanted you to see the little girl that you were fighting for, I just hope and pray that one day B. understands that it is never about us, it is all for Z.
Thanks for everything you did to make this divorce as painless as possible. As I said in the beginning, I wanted it my way or I would not be happy. Today, I walked out of your office with a smile on my face. I never thought I would get everything I wanted. If it wasn’t for my faith in God and my trust in you, I do not know how I would have made it to today. Again, thank you for doing such a great job! Hope we can meet on better terms in the future.
I recently had the pleasure of opening some documents from your office and was very elated when I saw your act of generosity. I really appreciate you eliminating the rest of my bill and hope that one day I will have the opportunity to do the same for you. It has been a very stressful year and things just seem to keep getting worse. This was an extreme blessing and once again I am very appreciative of your kindness. I will be glad, and have done so already, to refer you and your firm to anyone that may need your services. Thanks again for all you and Lori have done for me. It is truly appreciated.
Lori, I will definitely keep in touch. I just want you to know that I sincerely appreciate everything that you have done for me. You have been great from start to finish and it really means alot to me. You made the entire process so easy. I couldn't have done it without you! THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!!! YOU ARE THE BEST EVER!!!!!!! Have a WONDERFUL day!
I just wanted to share a few photos from our trip to Disney World. Thank you once again for all of the hard work from day one. It's your hard work that has made trips like this possible. I have so many priceless memories from this trip. It wouldn't have been possible without y'all working so hard for me and my son.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for my recent divorce settlement. During this emotional and challenging time you exhibited nothing but the most professional behavior. You constantly, reminded me of what was the most prudent course of action that would benefit me as an individual. Many times during this experience I overestimated my ex wife value and underestimated my own contributions to bringing this matter to a conclusion. You were a steady source of emotional encouragement and the light at the end of the tunnel. If any current or future clients would like to talk to me first hand, I will gladly provide a reference.
This is not an easy letter to write. I consider myself fairly astute at putting pen to paper but there are not words enough to express my genuine heartfelt thanks for what you have done for me and for my future. Living 15 hours away created numerous obstacles in trying to hire an attorney that I knew I could trust and would have the legal expertise to handle the complex jurisdictional issues I was facing. I consulted with several offices but it wasn’t until I spoke with Lori and then with you that I knew I had found the one attorney who could not only handle the case with authority and expertise but an attorney who truly cared about the well-being of their client. I have told my story to numerous family, friends, co-workers etc., and everyone finds it hard to believe how quickly and efficiently you took care of my case all while giving me the reassurance I needed that no obstacles were too great and that I finally wasn’t in this alone. The peace of mind you have given me is priceless and I will forever remember your kindness and diligence in protecting my future.
At times we forget that honesty and compassion still exist in our busy society. Each person in your office has renewed my faith in humanity. Lori, you are the very best of the very best. If I were a better wordsmith, I would eloquently describe the care you show others. It is so much more than a working relationship, and no verbal skills can express my appreciation.You know what is in my heart, and you know what you have done for us. Thank you. Ashley, we never spoke, but I understand you worked tirelessly to aid our case. Thank you. Consider yourself Superman Craig, since “Truth, Justice and the American Way” have prevailed. You and your awesome co-workers (I don’t want to call them “staff” since they are far more) all work together like the proverbial well-oiled machine. I never doubted your legal expertise Craig, since your reputation preceded you even 1000 miles from Jackson, however you have now set a new standard. We hear how slowly the wheels of justice turn, yet in two hours you miraculously changed lives by having a case dropped in Mississippi. Yes, you have truly changed lives, and yes, you are superior to any attorney I’ve met. Thank you. The underdog will truly triumph due to your intervention.
Craig, please know how much I appreciate your efforts on Tuesday, as well as Devin's. You have never let me down. There's not one phone call you haven't returned or one email you haven't responded to. Your professionalism is unmatched!! Unfortunately for you, I will never leave you. haha~
Craig, this is an incredible and so very real piece of material that I have ever read. You are a remarkable individual and I am so thankful to know you and Lori. I wish I could have had someone share this with me when my children's father and I were going through our divorce. It was due to alcohol abuse and drugs. We went through family, marital and drug abuse counseling the last 3 years of our marriage. I would give anything to try again. Thanks so much for sharing. God has blessed you.
Hey Craig, just wanted to give you a quick update on things......... I have not heard nor seen him in a month....glad of that----- just did not expect it---- from everyone saying he would bug me for sure and he hasn't. So that is a relief. I am moving on, looking at homes and right now, staying at my best friends house....she is a breath of fresh air and comforting for me. Enjoyed the pictures of Cancun. Hope it was refreshing....it looked like it. Thanks for all your help and NOT being the typical lawyer one reads about and hears about. I really appreciate it. Have a good day and will update soon. Thanks again
Mr. Easterling: I cannot find the words to express my gratitude to you for your assistance with my legal issues. From my very first conversation with you, I felt very much relaxed and at ease. I felt that I finally found someone who would listen to me completely and hear me. You are easy to talk to and very knowledgeable, I admire that. You are also open and honest. You addressed all of my concerns respectfully and without delay. I like the fact that you did not sugar coat anything. You gave the facts and truths even though some of them I did not want to hear. Thank you for keeping me in the present and not letting me linger in the past during our conversations. I really admire how you kept me straight at ALL times on the financial aspects of this case. Thank you for helping me understand all angles of my case. I was only able to understand the issues one way, but you helped me understand them a different way. I think that you are truly gifted, and I feel blessed to have had you represent me. I can never say thank you enough, but please know that I am deeply grateful.
I hope all is well with you and your family. Everything is going great here. A. is doing well and flourishing. Mom is here to help me and we never really have to worry about S. Last we heard she was out on bond and had run up north. Doesn't matter to us we are all doing great. Thanks again for giving us a chance at a great life with A. We never take that for granted.
I hope everything is going well for you. I cannot remember if I ever told you, but I could not have had any better representation during my divorce. I was elated to see that someone really was excited about their job. Your wealth of knowledge about family law made me realize that I had chosen representation correctly. Thank you for the personal attention that you shared with me. This ordeal was very difficult for me, but I greatly appreciate you helping me through it. I honestly believe that if it would not have been for you, that I would have made some not so wise decisions about my divorce. Thank you again.
I just want to thank you for the wonderful presentation of our case and all of the hard work you put into it. I am struggling to find the words to express the gratitude of my family and me. Thank you again.
Matt was great to work with. We were very much on the same page the whole time. You were smart to snap him up!
Matt went above and beyond to take care of everything. Yesterday was exhausting, but I knew I was in good hands and I feel that I got the best arrangement possible under the circumstances.
Thanks for everything...you all have made this awful time easier just by being willing to listen to my every question and concern...and I know I had a lot of both.







Marriage is hard, there is no denying it and sometimes couples want to test the waters so-to-speak to see if they want to stay and work on their marriage or if they are ready to begin the divorce process. Couples who are not ready for divorce often opt for a trial separation, i.e. someone moves out of the house, gets an apartment, as if they are taking a so-called break from the marital home and possibly the marital relationship. Some states have laws that allow for couples to have a “legal separation”, however, Mississippi does not. Here the rule is simple: the law favors marriage. You are married until you are divorced or someone is dead. There is no such thing as legally separated in Mississippi, couples cannot go to a court and request that it put a hold on the marriage. This does not mean that you and your spouse cannot agree to a separation, it only means that any such agreement will not be judicially enforced.
