Estate Planning & Probate · Maryville, Tennessee
Helping Families Plan Ahead and Move Forward with Confidence
Life changes can bring legal questions that feel unfamiliar and overwhelming. Whether you’re planning for your family’s future or navigating the loss of a loved one, I’m here to make the process clear, practical, and less stressful.
“That wasn’t nearly as bad as I expected.”
I hear that from clients from time to time, and it is one of the best compliments I can receive. My goal is to help you understand what needs to be done, avoid unnecessary problems, and leave feeling informed, confident, and relieved.
Personal Guidance From Your Attorney
Hi, I’m Chad Hampton.
I built my practice around a simple idea: clients deserve thoughtful legal advice, clear explanations, and personal attention from the attorney they hired.
I don’t believe most people need the most complicated estate plan. They need the right plan—one that fits their family, protects the people they love, and helps avoid unnecessary stress, confusion, and expense later.
When a loved one dies, families also need someone who knows the process and can calmly guide them through what comes next.
I care about your situation, and I want to help make the path forward clearer.

A Listening Ear
Every family and situation is different. Before discussing documents or solutions, I want to understand your goals, concerns, and what matters most to you.
Practical Advice
My job is not to recommend the most complicated plan. It’s to recommend the plan that best fits your family, your assets, and your objectives.
Clear Communication
Legal terms shouldn’t be confusing. I explain your options in plain English so you understand not only what you’re signing, but why it matters.
Transparent Fees
Whenever practical, I offer flat-fee pricing so you know the cost before we begin. Focus on good decisions—not an hourly meter.

As a solo attorney, you’ll work directly with me. I handle your matter personally and strive to provide the responsiveness I would want for my own family.
