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 client 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.

I am very grateful for the support Elizabeth gave me throughout my divorce. She guided me every step of the way and made sure I understood the whole process from beginning to end. She helped me feel calm, more at peace, and confident in the decisions we were making. During mediation, she was very professional and always looking out for my best interest. I highly recommend her to anyone going through a divorce who wants a knowledgeable and caring attorney by their side.

My divorce attorney helped save my marriage, when did you ever hear such a thing, but for me this is exactly what happened.

I came to Elizabeth during a time a great distress, and prior to speaking with her, I felt as though everything was spinning out of control. I was overwhelmed by all of the complexities that suddenly emerge when one contemplates divorce. Elizabeth's counsel provided me with the legal roadmap and that alone freed up my mind space to focus on other things. All I could focus on prior to meeting with Elizabeth was the impending divorce I was considering, but with my mind at ease about the legal journey, I was able to focus on my relationship with clarity.
I recommend Elizabeth without reservation.
