Who We Are


From the Desk of Jami Ferrell

A Little Background… I set out to create a non-traditional boutique law firm unlike any other in Memphis with an emphasis on families going through divorce and crisis and basing plans on what you and your family need, not what is best for a lawyers pocketbook.  We have thrown out office-building1conventional hourly billing and instituted a flat-fee  billing for Memphis divorces and some Memphis family law and Memphis child custody law matters. By doing this our law firm is transforming the way Memphis divorce lawyers and Memphis family lawyers have traditionally conducted business.

I started back in 1999 with a national investment advisory firm and later worked as president of a wealth management firm. Using my experience in prior positions, I formed the Ferrell Law Firm in 2006.  I took what I had learned, created my own best practices and left behind what simply didn’t work. Because of this, we are very different from other law firms in three distinct ways:

  1. Your Memphis Divorce or Memphis Family Law Matter is About You, NOT the Lawyer: It doesn’t matter how many families I have helped, or how many degrees I have.  It doesn’t matter how much I or my Memphis lawyers know about complex divorce or family law matters.  In the long run, I’m not the one who has to live with your divorce or child custody outcome … you are. Some Memphis lawyers feel that they need to impress their clients with how smart they are, or pressure them into one-size-fits-all solutions.  My job is to listen to you, truly listen to you, and use my experience to help guide you to the right direction for you and your family.
  2. We Do Almost All of Our Memphis Divorce and Memphis Family Law matters on a Flat-Fee Basis: People like things that they can count on in their lives.  What they don’t like are expensive and unexpected bills from lawyers.  For these reasons, we have gotten rid of all the unpleasant surprises by performing your divorce or family law issue on a flat-fee basis.  We speak openly about our fees up front, and our clients work with us to choose their own fees. That’s right, they choose their own fees. Our clients are a lot happier with this arrangement, and so are we.
  3. We Make It Easy For You: As a father I understand firsthand how busy working families can be, and that it can be a struggle to put your own needs ahead of your kids, your family, your clients and your customers. Because of this, we do everything we can to make it as easy for you as possible.
