Client satisfaction is our top priority. We strive to exceed our clients’ expectations by providing the highest quality legal counsel and advice in a timely and efficient manner. We achieve this goal by focusing on quality in the hiring and retention of our attorneys and staff and in the service that we provide to our clients.
Since 1975, the Firm has offered quality, timely, and cost-effective business and litigation services through more than 50 attorneys licensed in Tennessee, Kentucky, Mississippi, Arkansas, Indiana, and Georgia. Our full-service law firm, with offices in Tennessee (Memphis, Martin, Jackson, Nashville, and Chattanooga) and Kentucky (Fulton), represents local, regional, and national clients.
Our diverse practice includes insurance coverage and defense, alternative dispute resolution, banking and creditor relations, education law, employment law, estate planning and elder law, general corporate practice, healthcare and professional liability law, real estate transactions, taxation, workers’ compensation, civil rights defense, and tort litigation. We represent local, state, and national clients before state and federal courts and regulatory agencies throughout the Southeast.
The Firm has built its reputation by following a philosophy of providing superior legal representation in a timely and efficient manner, while maintaining the highest legal standards of ethics and professionalism. To that end, we recruit exceptional young graduates from respected law schools, and when appropriate, hire practicing attorneys with specific experience to meet the changing needs of our clients. We demonstrate ongoing stability with a majority of members having been associated with the Firm since law school graduation or clerkship.
Our attorneys and staff devote their time, talents, resources, and support to programs and organizations that enrich and strengthen our community and have attained a high-level of prominence in national, state, and local associations and organizations. A number of the Firm’s attorneys have been peer rated with Martindale-Hubbell and have achieved a rating of AV. Many of the Firm’s attorneys have also been selected by their peers for inclusion in U.S. News and World Report’s Best Lawyers® in America and Law and Politics magazine’s Super Lawyers rankings. Our attorneys frequently lecture at seminars, workshops, and community and client education programs and remain committed to our clients, our community, and to each other.
