Conner & Roberts PLLC

Conner & Roberts PLLC was born from a powerful vision: two accomplished attorneys chose to leave large law firms behind to provide compassionate, high-quality legal services directly to families in their Chattanooga community. Founded in 2010 by Amelia C. Roberts and Lisa Conner, the firm represents a deliberate choice to prioritize client relationships and exceptional outcomes. Amelia C. Roberts brings formidable credentials combined with genuine commitment to family law excellence. Her Juris Doctor from the University of Cincinnati College of Law, earned as a distinguished Chapin-Thomas Scholar, signals early recognition of her legal talent and promise. Her undergraduate degree from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga gives her deep roots in the community she serves. Amelia's decision to leave large-firm practice reflects her conviction that families deserve attorneys who can give cases the personal attention and strategic focus they deserve. Lisa Conner's background is equally impressive. She earned her B.S. from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga and her J.D. from Florida Coastal School of Law. Like Amelia, Lisa chose to transition from large-firm practice to the more direct, client-focused work that defines Conner & Roberts. This shared decision demonstrates the founders' genuine commitment to making a difference in families' lives. Located conveniently at 6142 Shallowford Road in Chattanooga, just off Interstate 24 and near downtown, the firm has built a reputation for accessibility and excellence. The strategic location makes the office easy to reach, an important consideration for clients juggling work, childcare, and legal matters during divorce transitions. The firm's practice encompasses the full range of family law matters. For clients facing contested divorces, the team brings both sophisticated legal strategy and understanding of the emotional complexity involved. They understand that contested divorces require meticulous case preparation, thorough discovery, and skillful negotiation or trial advocacy. Simultaneously, they recognize that these divorces occur in the context of real people's lives—parents concerned about their children's wellbeing, individuals worried about financial security, families navigating unprecedented transitions. Uncontested divorces receive equally professional attention. Many couples can reach agreement on key issues but need legal guidance to ensure proper documentation and fair treatment under Tennessee law. Conner & Roberts helps these clients move forward efficiently while protecting their interests. Child custody matters receive specialized focus. The firm understands that custody decisions profoundly affect children's lives and parents' relationships with their children. They approach these matters with both legal sophistication and genuine concern for the children involved. Whether negotiating shared parenting arrangements or advocating in contested custody proceedings, the team balances legal strategy with the reality that ongoing parent-child relationships extend far beyond the divorce itself. Asset division, alimony determinations, and child support calculations—these technical aspects of divorce—are handled with precision. But Conner & Roberts doesn't stop at legal correctness. They help clients understand how divorce settlements affect their long-term financial security and wellbeing. Beyond divorce, the firm handles adoption, domestic violence protection orders, guardianship matters, and the full spectrum of family law issues. Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements receive careful attention, allowing clients to establish clear agreements about property and support before or during marriage. What clients consistently appreciate about Conner & Roberts is the combination of two experienced, accomplished women attorneys who genuinely care about their clients' outcomes. The firm's growth since 2010 reflects word-of-mouth referrals from satisfied clients—the truest measure of legal excellence. Families trust Conner & Roberts because they have experienced firsthand the difference that personalized, strategic legal representation makes.
