Nashville, TN family law attorney Ethan R. Page talks about why he became a lawyer. He shares that his decision to become a lawyer was inspired by his father and older brother, both of whom he greatly admired. His father practiced law when he was a child, and growing up in that environment often felt like constant preparation for the profession—he jokes that he was always being cross-examined at home and had to think quickly to keep up.

When he was in high school, his father was elected as a trial judge and later went on to serve on the Tennessee Supreme Court, a source of great pride for the family. His older brother also pursued a career in law, further reinforcing the path he eventually chose for himself.

At the age of 29, he returned to school to earn his law degree and has been practicing ever since. For him, the profession felt like a natural fit, shaped by a household where critical thinking and accountability were expected from an early age.
