Why Choose Rice Law?
We Literally Wrote the Book on Tennessee Divorce
Larry and Nick Rice are co-authors of The Complete Guide to Divorce Practice, published by the American Bar Association and recognized as the national standard for divorce and family law attorneys across the country. When you work with Rice Law, you get the firm other lawyers consult when they don’t know the answer.
Board-Certified Family Law Trial Advocates
Board Certification by the National Board of Trial Advocacy is the highest, most stringent qualification an attorney can achieve. Larry Rice is one of only two Board-Certified Family Law Trial Advocates in Memphis, and one of just 12 in the entire state of Tennessee. That credential isn’t given — it’s earned through demonstrated courtroom performance, peer evaluation, and rigorous examination.
Tailored Strategies for Every Family
Every case at Rice Law is handled with personalized attention. We tailor our approach — whether through negotiation, mediation, or litigation — to your individual goals. Our firm’s greatest satisfaction often comes not from courtroom victories, but from securing favorable outcomes that let families move forward with their lives.
Costly Mistakes Divorcing Spouses Make
Choosing a General Practice Attorney for a Family Law Case
Bar advertising rules, local court procedures, financial discovery in divorce, and Tennessee custody standards are specialized knowledge. A general practice attorney won’t know the nuances that win or lose your case. Rice Law focuses exclusively on divorce and family law — it’s all we do.
Waiting Too Long to Hire an Attorney
Decisions made in the early days of a divorce — what documents you preserve, what you say, and what agreements you sign — can haunt you for years. The moment you suspect divorce is coming, protect yourself with experienced legal counsel.
Underestimating the Value of What You Could Lose
Many clients don’t realize what’s at stake until it’s too late — retirement accounts, the family home, business interests, and years of earning capacity can all be impacted by a poorly negotiated settlement. Your financial future deserves expert protection.
Letting Emotions Drive Legal Decisions
Divorce is emotional by nature, but reactive decisions — in court filings, negotiations, or social media — can damage your credibility and your case. Rice Law provides the steady, strategic guidance that keeps your case on track even when emotions run high.
Why Specialized Family Law Help Matters
✓ Protect What You’ve Built
Tennessee divorce law is complex. Property division, business valuations, retirement accounts, and debt allocation require attorneys who understand every nuance. Rice Law’s depth of experience means no financial detail goes unexamined and no asset is overlooked.
✓ Shield Your Children From the Worst
Custody decisions will shape your child’s life for years. An attorney who genuinely understands Tennessee parenting law — and knows how local courts evaluate parenting plans — can make the difference between a fair outcome and a damaging one.
✓ Dominate the Process, Not Just the Paperwork
The attorneys who are best at winning cases know the judges, the local procedures, and the opposing counsel. Rice Law has practiced exclusively in Memphis-area family law courts for decades. That local knowledge is an advantage money can’t easily buy.
✓ Free Yourself to Move Forward
When Rice Law handles the legal fight, you can focus on your family, your health, and your future. Our responsive team knows you by name and answers questions immediately — no tickets, no delays, no wondering where your case stands.
You don’t have to face this alone.
Whether you need to protect significant assets, fight for time with your children, or simply navigate an emotionally overwhelming process — Rice Law has done it thousands of times. We know the law, we know the courts, and we know how to win.
