An Approachable Estate Planning Team in Franklin, TN, Meet Our Staff

At Linville Estate Law, our guiding principle is: Plans that work, People who care. If plans that work are our mission, then people who care are the heart that drives it.

To us, “people who care” isn’t just something that we say. It’s a reflection of the real people on our team who answer our phones, audit your wealth inventories, and stand in your corner. Here is a look behind the curtain at a few members of our team, and the deeply personal reasons why they show up every day to protect your family:

Liz: Client Services Manager

If you have ever called our front desk or clicked a link to schedule a chat, you’ve met Liz, our Client Services Manager. Sometimes an intake process can feel like an interrogation, Liz completely reverses that experience.

Liz is outgoing and driven by genuine human connection. She always listens first, creating a space where you can share your real-world family dynamics without judgment. She also delivers price transparency right out of the gate so you never have to guess what you’re walking into. Liz does what she does because she loves people and believes in the value of estate planning for Tennessee families. She also is convinced that the path to protecting your legacy should start with an approachable conversation and complete clarity.

“My husband and I used Linville Estate Law to handle estate planning for our blended family. They made a bafflingly complex process (to us!) feel entirely doable… Thanks to all at Linville Estate Law, including Liz who is a delight and who makes great coffee…” -Whit

 

Dan: Associate Attorney 

Dan is one of our attorneys, and his personal “why” comes from experience. Early in his career, he worked directly on probate litigation matters, where he saw firsthand the emotional and financial rifts that happen when someone passes away without a proper estate plan. He realized that a failed plan isn’t just a legal oversight. It actively leaves grieving families exposed to unnecessary confusion and deep stress.

Because of those experiences, Dan believes that estate planning is a meaningful way to care for the people you love. He joined Linville Estate Law to help prevent disputes before they start. Dan uses his legal background to break down complexity into a thoughtful strategy so that your wishes are clear and your loved ones are shielded from conflict when it matters most.

“I had a really great experience with this law firm. We worked with Dan, and he was great. He was extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and professional throughout the entire process. What stood out most was how patient and respectful he was. If I was misunderstanding something or heading in the wrong direction, he took the time to explain it with grace and kindness while clearly sharing what he recommended. I never felt rushed or talked down to.” – Jeffery

Haley: Funding Coordinator 

Once your custom plan is drafted, it moves into the hands of Haley, our Funding Coordinator. In the office we always say that Haley is the most calming presence. Her world revolves around empathy, patience, and meticulous execution. She knows that asset transferring can otherwise feel like a massive homework checklist dropped in your lap, with no one to help you figure it out.

Haley coordinates the heavy administrative lifting for our clients. She manages your local bank letters, builds your Family Wealth Inventory, reviews contracts for hidden transfer fees, and coordinates directly with your financial advisors to align your beneficiary designations.

“Confronting the setting up of a Trust can be quite daunting… Thank goodness for Dan of Linville Estate Law who gradually walked us through the process. With just the right amount of gentle guidance he (and his assistant, Haley) steered us through the various and numerous processes. They stayed in touch, they kept us on the straight and narrow… These people know their stuff but are patient with those who don’t know.” – Sally Anne

“…The entire team is incredibly welcoming and genuinely cares about their clients. Dan and Haley have been wonderful to work with, they helped us build a solid foundation for our assets and made everything easy to understand. Jenna always greets us with such warmth whenever we come in. Ryan even had us laughing during our document signing. Everyone here makes you feel comfortable while planning for your future.” -Tristyn
