Amy Easterling Legal, PLLC is a Kingsport, Tennessee law firm providing compassionate, strategic legal representation across two practice areas: family law and misdemeanor criminal defense. The firm is led by Amy Hinkle Easterling, who brings 18 years of legal experience to every case, shaped by her background as a prosecutor with the Second and Third Judicial District Attorney's Offices, where she handled cases ranging from traffic offenses to serious felonies, including homicide, across General Sessions, Juvenile, and Criminal Courts.
In family law, the firm represents clients through divorce, child custody and parenting plans, child support, spousal support, property division, prenuptial agreements, orders of protection, adoption, guardianship, paternity, name changes, mediation, and post-divorce modifications and enforcement. In criminal defense, the firm represents individuals facing misdemeanor and petty crime charges including DUI, assault and domestic assault, theft and shoplifting, drug possession, traffic offenses, probation violations, and related charges.
Beyond casework, Amy founded the Vulnerable Adult Protective Team, an initiative addressing abuse, neglect, and financial exploitation of elderly and vulnerable adults, and worked closely with the Children's Investigative Protective Team alongside law enforcement and child services. That advocacy work shapes how Amy approaches every client relationship: with honesty, strategic thinking, and genuine compassion for what clients are going through.
