This law practice was highly recommended by Bart Durham in Nashville. This is, by far, the best law practice I have ever had the esteemed pleasure to deal with. Courteous, understanding, and very, very professional. Their service to my case was exemplary. I could not have asked for better people or a better outcome. You cannot go wrong with this group.

I'm very happy with how Jesse handled my case and the assistance from Brenda and the rest of the firm. I've met previous attorneys prior and they seemed very unorganized - Jesse ensured all of my case records were organized and ready at all times. I can not thank this firm enough for handling and settling my case as effectively and efficiently as they did. Thank you, again!

Jesse Waters is one hell of a lawyer! I literally met him in person only once & that was to pick my settlement check up! Handled everything for me via phone or email. Always responded or messaged me first or called me first. Would highly recommend this law firm Mitch Grissim & associates !!

After speaking with Hughes Coleman office they discussed my situation and thought I would be better off with an attorney in NC instead of TN. They were very eager to help and I received a quick response from both offices!

Richard was referred to me during a challenging time in my life. He listened attentively and collaborated with me to develop the strategy I wanted to present. Despite my busy schedule, he remained incredibly patient and supportive throughout the process. He guided me through each stage with empathy and understanding. I will definitely work with him again for any future legal needs and highly recommend his services.

If you need a lawyer who will advocate for you and provide you with assurance throughout the entire process of a divorce or mediation, search no further. Richard has been a blessing; after sharing my struggles during my divorce and my poor experience with my previous attorney, he stepped in to assist in every detail possible. He facilitated a fair mediation between my spouse and me today. Having someone you can trust during such a challenging and painful time, like a divorce, is crucial. I wholeheartedly recommend Richard; you will feel like he is a family member. He really cares about his clients! Which is hard to find these days.

Three months into my representation with no resolve! Communication is poor; I did most of the calling and texting because I felt neglected.
I had an attorney call me and tell me he would call me the following week but never heard back. . . .
Overall: lack of professionalism, respect and see through.
If you’re wanting reasonable results . . . don’t call this law firm.

Kathy A. Leslie, represented me in 2001, against a major corporate entity for negligence and failure to properly carry out their duty. As a result, I received a settlement out of court. Ms. Leslie was very thorough in her Discovery, honest and forthright. She has compassion for her clients. Ms. Leslie recently did my Will and Power of Attorney, pro bono, which I greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend Ms. Kathy A. Leslie, as an Attorney who cares about her clients and who will fight for justice.

this guy took my money and sent me to jail and had me arrested for his negligence, If you need a criminal attorney this guy will take your money and run… he is a “criminal” that’s for sure and if you need a bankruptcy filled for you he is very good at that as he does it often. If i could’ve giving zero stars i would. he needs to be barred from practicing anything related to the law

I hired this firm to represent me for an auto injury accident case. I knew I was in good hands when I walked into their office and they immediately got to work on my case. I had been trying to contact the insurance company for a week with out a call back. They had the insurance company calling me to fix my vehicle the same day I met them! They were able to resolve my case in a timely manner. I was was over the top excited when I found out how much money I would receive in pocket! I highly recommend hiring attorney Billy Marlowe!!

My experience was not good. If you call them for a medical negligence experience be sure the first thing you tell them is that the person you are calling about, in this case my mother, is not about to die, because they will not even talk to you. My mother is currently dealing with stage 4 cancer, however she is absolutely kicking it's butt. I never called them about her cancer diagnosis. I called them about a wound she had sustained from some incompetent doctors. My mom is blazing through the cancer treatments, it's the wound that we called them about causing hurdles. Had these Drs been 1/2 way competent my mom's cancer would have undoubtedly been discovered at stage 1 or 2. These idiots willy-nilly cut into a cancer tumor in her anal area with no questions asked calling it a "cyst". She had an abnormal papsmear result just 6 months prior and she is 78 years old. No biopsy on the "cyst", no questions asked, didn't even pick up her medical file to see an abnormal papsmear just a few short months prior. The wound that was created because of that is my mom's issue, not the cancer. She now has to see a specialist for the exposed bone in this wound and is constantly having to stay on top of infection with it. Her cancer diagnosis came a short time after they cut into her "cyst" (which was actually a tumor) and putting aside the wound they created, she is doing remarkably well with her cancer treatment.
Kinnard Law would not even talk to my mom, and I never once spoke to an attorney. The reason? "The prognosis of this kind of cancer is not good".
Well, Kinnard Law, my mom has just about completed the cancer treatment and you may be happy to know, but I highly doubt a second thought will be given, that the prognosis is actually looking great. I suggest too that if you as attorneys are not speaking to people and you are choosing instead to have these calls screened, hire people that can follow along in the conversation intelligently. The person that I spoke to struggled greatly with this.
If you choose to call these attorneys for a medical injury just be sure to preface the conversation with, "hey, I'm not about to die, I'm good there". You may actually make it to an attorney.

I was recommended Patrick Thurman for a personal injury claim and I am so pleased. Patrick and Lisa were so kind, helpful and responsive throughout the whole process. They explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. Patrick informed me on my options and helped me receive an appropriate sum for my injuries. It is apparent that they truly care about their clients and go above and beyond to support them in every aspect of the process. I highly recommend Kinnard Law, especially Patrick Thurman and Lisa, the paralegal.

I am a severely disabled veteran. I had a surgical implant that was supposed to block pain, but after seven months it made my pain much worse. I live in Knoxville, TN. I contacted his father, Sidney, and he told me to call Chris in Memphis. Chris called me personally later in the day, even after his office was closed. He listened to my story, never cut me off, and after that, we decided together after he explained the letter of the law for medical malpractice that my case would not be able to win. He did not hang up, he listened to me about what happened to me in combat, and was like a close friend. He got me to hang on, as I have some upcoming appointments and procedures. He is a kind, down to earth, caring man. We spoke like we were old friends, and he thanked me for my service to our country (22 years as a Green Beret). He also told me that if I ever needed to just talk or vent, call him. He is an awesome individual who is not just out for money, he really cares about you. I am going to have a pain pump put in in about a month, and I am going to start travelling. I told him I would like to go through Memphis on my way to Louisiana, and I would really like to have lunch with him. He told me he would love to have lunch with me and hear some of my stories. I wish there were more people in the world like him. I would highly recommend him in Memphis, and his father Sidney in Knoxville. He really gave me the hope to hang on. Thank you Chris from the bottom of my heart. I will be in Memphis one day and I will call you ahead of time to fit lunch in to your schedule. God Bless you and your family. Thank you for treating me the way that you did. You are a rare breed nowadays, keep up the good work.

Christopher Gilreath is not dedicated to his clients. Chris informed me 3 years into my automobile accident that he could no longer represent me because "the opposing side is forcing me to withdraw as your attorney ". I really thought I heard him wrong, but he acknowledged that I heard him correctly. Be very aware of his promise to commit to you and represent you with vigor. He gave a very vague explanation that we disagreed on issues. I only heard and spoke with him twice and there wasn't any type of disagreement. I gave him full reign over negotiating my case. He was the attorney (I trusted him to be what he promised). BTW the defendants insurance company had already claimed 80% liability and had already repaired my truck.

Mr Gilreath offered advice to me when I was at my wits end. He gave me answers that were clear and precise. He spoke to me with respect and was not at all condescending. I would highly recommend him to anyone with legal matters that need responsible, expert attention.

This lawyer failed to protect me from the hands of my abusive husband. She failed in many areas and didn’t protect me from getting wrongfully charged with assault when I was the one assaulted. I was then harassed by the man for the next year without much I could do about it because he claimed I broke an oop by letting his kids contact him. Worst lawyer ever for anyone in an abusive relationship. You won’t be protected, helped, or represented well at all. She simply doesn’t have the time or care to help you.

Ms. Coleman is smart and quick on her feet. She has lots of trial experience, and it shows. She listened to me when I was going through a hard time and she was appointed to me. She didn't have to work hard as hard for me as her other clients. She knew I couldn't pay and she didn't care. She still fought for me and was able to get me out of jail. Highly recommend.

This attorney seemed more focused on her upcoming election she was running for than to meet the needs of her client. She treated me like just another number and gave off a snooty vibe like she thought she was better than me. She did not accept my concerns as valid and dismissed my requests on how to represent my defense. I hope no one else who needs quality representation gets stuck with this attorney.

I hired Mr. Woods to represent me against the State of Tennessee in a case involving wrongful termination she to military discrimination. Mr. Woods had no idea what he was doing. He filed the case in the wrong court (federal court) when it should have been filed in state court. Because he did this he caused me to miss my statute of limitations for filing on state court. I asked Mr. Woods for my full retainer back and he refused even though he wasted my money filing in the wrong venue. He was not even apologetic or remorseful. The least he could have done is return my retainer in full seeing as he wasted my money filing In the wrong court. I wouldn't not recommend him at all. He does not know what he is doing or stay or keep clients informed. You have to follow up with him

What a Car Accident Lawyer Can Do for You
A car accident lawyer specializes in representing individuals who have been injured in motor vehicle accidents. These lawyers help victims secure compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and other losses resulting from a car crash. They also negotiate with insurance companies, investigate the cause of the accident, and, if necessary, represent clients in court to ensure they receive fair compensation.
If you've been injured in a car accident - whether as a driver, passenger, cyclist, or pedestrian - a car accident lawyer can help protect your rights, navigate the insurance claims process, and ensure you receive the compensation you're entitled to.
When Should I Hire a Car Accident Lawyer?
Consider hiring a car accident lawyer in several situations, especially when the accident results in injuries, property damage, or disputes with the insurance company. Key situations include:
- Serious injuries: If you’ve suffered significant injuries, such as broken bones, spinal injuries, or traumatic brain injuries, a lawyer can help you seek compensation for medical expenses, future treatment, and pain and suffering.
- Disputes with the insurance company: If your insurance claim has been denied or the insurance company offers an unreasonably low settlement, a lawyer can negotiate on your behalf to ensure you get fair compensation.
- Liability disputes: If the other driver’s insurance company is disputing fault or claiming you were partially at fault, a lawyer can gather evidence to prove the other party’s negligence.
- Wrongful death: If a loved one was killed in a car accident, a lawyer can help the family pursue a wrongful death claim to recover compensation for funeral expenses, loss of companionship, and other damages.
- Uninsured or underinsured driver: If the at-fault driver lacks sufficient insurance coverage, a lawyer can help you explore other compensation options, such as filing a claim with your own insurance company.
- Complex cases: Accidents involving multiple vehicles, commercial trucks, or complicated circumstances require legal expertise to manage complexities and hold all responsible parties accountable.
Hiring a lawyer early in the process can help ensure that your rights are protected and that you receive the full compensation you deserve.
What Does a Car Accident Lawyer Do?
A car accident lawyer provides various legal services to help injured individuals pursue compensation for their injuries and losses. Their responsibilities often include:
- Investigating the accident: Gathering evidence like police reports, witness statements, photos, and video footage to determine how the accident occurred and who was at fault.
- Filing insurance claims: Assisting clients in filing claims with their insurance company and the at-fault driver’s insurer to ensure all necessary documentation is submitted correctly.
- Negotiating settlements: Working with insurance adjusters to secure fair compensation for medical bills, property damage, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
- Calculating damages: Determining the full extent of your damages, including current and future medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost income, and non-economic damages like pain and suffering.
- Handling medical bills: Coordinating with healthcare providers to ensure your medical bills are paid and helping you avoid financial hardship during the claims process.
- Filing lawsuits: If the insurance company refuses a fair settlement, the lawyer can file a lawsuit and represent you in court.
- Representing you in court: Presenting your case before a judge and jury, providing evidence and witness testimony to prove negligence and your right to compensation.
How Are Car Accident Lawyers Paid?
Most car accident lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if they win or settle your case. The key aspects include:
- Contingency fee: The lawyer’s fee is typically between 25% and 40% of the total settlement or award. You won't pay upfront fees; the lawyer's payment comes from the compensation they recover for you.
- No fee if no recovery: If the lawyer doesn’t secure compensation for you, you generally don't owe any legal fees.
- Case expenses: You may be responsible for certain costs related to your case, such as filing fees or expert witness fees. These are usually deducted from the settlement after the lawyer's fee is paid.
Discuss the fee structure during your initial consultation to understand how much you'll owe if your case is successful.
How Much Does a Car Accident Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a car accident lawyer is generally based on the contingency fee arrangement. General estimates include:
- Contingency fee percentage: Lawyers typically charge between 25% and 40% of the total settlement or award. For example, if you receive a $100,000 settlement and the lawyer's fee is 33%, the lawyer would receive $33,000, and you'd keep the remaining $67,000.
- Case expenses: Additional costs such as court filing fees, expert witness costs, and administrative fees can range from $1,000 to $10,000 or more, depending on the case complexity.
Ensure you get a clear explanation of fees and expenses during your consultation.
Top Questions to Ask a Car Accident Lawyer
Before hiring a car accident lawyer, consider asking the following questions:
-
What experience do you have with car accident cases?
Confirm the lawyer has handled cases similar to yours, especially involving serious injuries or complex liability issues. -
How do you charge for your services?
Understand the contingency fee percentage and any additional costs you may incur. -
What is the likelihood of success in my case?
Seek an honest assessment of your case's strengths and potential challenges. -
How long will the process take?
Get an estimate of the timeline for settling or taking the case to trial. -
Will you handle my case personally?
Ensure you know who will be managing your case and their level of involvement. -
What kind of compensation can I expect?
Ask about the types of damages you may be entitled to, including medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
How to Check the Credibility of a Car Accident Lawyer
To ensure you're hiring a reputable lawyer, take the following steps:
- Check their bar status: Verify with your state bar association that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing.
- Review their experience: Look for specialization in personal injury and car accident cases.
- Read client reviews: Consult platforms like Avvo or Martindale-Hubbell for testimonials and ratings.
- Ask for references: Request contact information of previous clients willing to discuss their experience.
- Check professional affiliations: Membership in organizations like the American Association for Justice (AAJ) indicates a commitment to the field.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To maximize the effectiveness of your initial meeting, bring the following:
- Police report: A copy of the accident report filed by the police.
- Medical records: Documentation of your injuries, treatments, and medical expenses.
- Photos and videos: Any visual evidence from the accident scene and of your injuries.
- Insurance information: Copies of your insurance policy and any correspondence with insurance companies.
- Witness information: Contact details and statements from any witnesses.
- List of questions: Prepared questions about your case and the legal process.
Being well-prepared helps the lawyer assess your case accurately and advise you on the best course of action.
