If you are injured due to another person's fault (negligence), you may endure pain, suffering, medical bills, lost work, permanent disability, and financial ruin. You deserve compensation for your valid personal injury claim.
Time is of the essence. Seek the help of a lawyer as soon as you believe you have a claim. The more time that passes after the accident, the more likely it is that valuable evidence could be lost or destroyed and the less likely that witnesses can be located. Furthermore, Tennessee Law sets a limit of time in which you must file your claim (usually one year). If you fail to file suit after that statutory time limit, you will not be able to seek compensation for your injuries.

No one wants to confront mortality. However, a well planned estate and properly drafted will are essential to ensure that your possessions and assets are distributed according to your wishes. This can reduce, and in some cases prevent, family turmoil and infighting, the pain of handling your affairs, and the frustration of navigating the legal process (probate).
Estate planning may include more than a will. Life insurance, trusts, durable powers of attorney, and living wills must also be considered.
In addition, we can help with the probate of an existing estate and provide services as personal representatives to ensure the proper distribution of assets.
The media faces daily challenges ranging from defamation of character and invasion of privacy to lack of citizen and media access to public meetings or public documents and shielding news gatherers from compelled testimony. Despite the substantial hurdles and oftentimes government resistance, we have successfully represented our clients with these First Amendment issues.
Small businesses are often reluctant to seek the assistance of an attorney to prevent legal problems which could head off litigation before it occurs. However, as the saying goes, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."
While it is not possible to completely eliminate the threat of litigation or guarantee that a business relationship will be successful, a customized contract and legal consultation about business practices by one of our attorneys can do much to prevent problems from ever developing. The initial cost for this is small compared to the cost of litigation followed by an adverse verdict or the disastrous impact from a client's failure to fulfill an obligation. Contractors, service businesses, Internet companies, rental property owners, and other small businesses in particular derive extensive benefit from our services.
