Mediation & Family Law

Article By Pam Windsor; Photos by Michael Tedesco

Virginia Story has seen a lot of growth throughout Williamson County
since she opened her law practice in downtown Franklin nearly four

“When I started practicing, there was nothing but Franklin, and just a little bit of a city in Brentwood just off the interstate,” she recalls. “Cool Springs was all farms, Nolensville was all farms, and Spring Hill was all farms.”
