Ree Brannen

I am a native Atlantan, but I had family connections to Chattanooga for many years. My sons attended the McCallie school, and I have relatives from Lookout Mountain. After 2020 I was ready for a change, so I decided to relocate to Chattanooga permanently. I have a background as a paralegal in business and employment law, and these skills have transitioned easily to working in a family law firm.

My favorite part of family law is the people. I love being able to help others. Many individuals who come to our office do not want to hire a lawyer. However, personal problems sometimes become legal problems. You need a team who can help stop, minimize, and manage conflict. Since I have been through family legal situations in my own life, I can be much more supportive to those who are facing similar challenges in their own lives.

Outside of work I enjoy playing tennis, reading, and attending any outdoor sports event. I have three adult sons who keep me entertained and very busy.
