Who We Are

  • Working with integrity to provide guidance and sound legal advice.

  • “I have had an excellent experience working with Butler, Sevier, Hinsley & Reid, in particular with Attorney Anne Johnson. She was attentive to my needs and concerns and worked diligently to address them. She was available and responded quickly to my requests, being patient when explaining the legal jargon and its implications. She was always professional and her breath and depth of knowledge and experience were essential for the resolution of my situation. This brought piece of mind to a relatively difficult situation, which was very important for me. I have no hesitation recommending Attorney Anne Johnson.” - Ricardo D.

  • “Margaret Reid and Abbey Hall are the best. They are personable and really care about your situation and the best outcome for you. They work hard and research all options, respond quickly and follow up. I couldn't imagine working with anyone else. They really are the very best.” - Sandra B.

  • “As a long term client of BSHR I must compliment the entire staff for their professionalism. When represented by BSHR you have not only hired an A+ attorney but you have hired a Powerful firm. I cannot say enough good things about Susan Hinsley and Abigail Hall. Their Knowledge, Diligence and Perseverance is very much appreciated. Their strengths compliment each other and make quite an impressive team. Thank you Susan, Abbey and the entire firm at BSHR.” - Tracy G.

  • “The team at BSHR came highly recommended and they did not disappoint. I have worked with Libba during several seasons of life and the service that she provides is exceptional! Libba makes sure that you are fully informed and in the loop every step of the way, and you can go in with confidence that nothing has fallen through the cracks. Most importantly, Libba fights HARD for her clients and families!!!! I recommend Butler, Sevier, Hinsley & Reid to anyone who finds themselves needing family law services.” - Lauren D.

  • Our attorneys take time to listen and understand your situation to determine the best manner in which to proceed.

  • “Butler, Sevier, Hinsley and Reid employees shared their legal expertise at a most difficult time. Their professional side assured a fair, equitable settlement, while their personal investment of time, talent and energy were most comforting. The overwhelming sadness was made far easier through their attention to both the legal and emotional side of divorce. Special thanks to Margaret Reid. She kept me educated, informed and comfortable while navigating the process.” - Kathy D.

  • “Margaret Reid and her team were knowledgeable, attentive and reliable for all of my needs.” - Liz G.

  • “Great group! Anne Johnson was my attorney for my divorce. I also have a child so she had to help me with the parenting plan as well. I always felt that she had my back and if I had ANY questions she answered them in a timely manner. If your wanting a lawyer who is ready to fight for you while giving you great legal advice then she’s the lawyer for you!” - Christina C.

  • “Anne Johnson, is an amazing lawyer. She handled my case with the utmost importance. She gave me a voice and strength to go into court. I am forever grateful for her bc I had someone in my corner fighting for me. She was professional and thorough with great communication skills. Anne Johnson gave me my power back. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.” - Ashley K.

  • “I worked through Margaret Reid for my Mississippi divorce. She was very good. Together we were able to achieve the goals set at the beginning of the process. I followed her step-by-step guidance the entire way and although it was a lengthy divorce process that went to trial, she knew how to handle each step and explained everything and worked with me on each and every option. She would outline the pros and cons to each decision I needed to make, but ultimately left the final decision to me. Then she executed against those decisions to reflect my best interest. I highly recommend Margaret Reid and the entire team at BSHR.” Grant G.

  • “Susan Hinsley was my attorney for my recent divorce and I am so grateful for her! She and her colleagues were fantastic to work with- incredibly prompt, answered every single one of my neurotic questions along the way, and held my hand through the entire process. My ex was not always cooperative, but they still managed to get our divorce finished in under 75 days using the Collaborative method. No divorce is pleasant, but this was far faster, cheaper and easier than going through mediation or litigation. Additionally, they were able to work up a shared custody agreement for our dog, which is not something that one can normally do with standard divorces. I would (and have!) unequivocally recommended this firm, and especially Ms. Hinsley, to anyone seeking a divorce or custody issues, and would not hesitate to hire them again.”
