Awful. Didn’t even bother replying to my intake form. I had to follow up. Also wanted money upfront before even a conversation. I guess that’s the way they do things in TN. We appreciate you! 👎🏻

Thank you very much for your hard work. God Bless

After being in a passenger in a car accident with no insurance, I was in a really bad spot until I found Flossie Weill and Ira Long, they took my case and helped me understand everything I was going to have to go through. They went above and beyond, in my opinion, to help me with doctors, billing and more. They helped me get through one of the toughest times in my life, and made sure I was apart of every process in my case. They kept me grounded and realistic when it came to what the possible outcomes of the case would be. I would recommend them to any one that asked or needed a lawyer.

Mr. Long represented my interest in settling a claim related to an auto accident. Although my injuries were not serious, Mr. Long provided both personal and professional service. He was thorough in defining my concerns as he carefully assisted my navigation through the insurance "maze." I would highly recommend him.

Attorney Ira Long provided exceptional professional and courteous service as he represented my family in our malpractice lawsuit against a defendant that most would deem too intimidating to even pursue. Mr. Long kept me informed of the lawsuit's status as it progressed through the legal system and, in instances when I did not understand what was taking place, he patiently explained everything to me. The service I received from Mr.Long was phenomenal. More importantly, I do not have to worry about the welfare and future of my grandchildren as they are now well protected. I could not be happier about how the case was resolved. I am blessed to have had him represent my family and especially the interest of my grandchildren who were always at the forefront of this matter. I am pleased to share my experience about Attorney Long with others and would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone in need of his service.

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.

We are grateful to Mr. James Wright and all at Butler, Vines and Babb. The communications from Mr. Wright were clear and consise and extremely helpful. Any questions were answered promptly. Mr. Wright and Sharon Borman were instrumental in coaching and advising us on the most efficient approaches to minimizing probate and allowing us to be flexible at the same time. Their knowledge and professional experience was invaluable in expediting our signing of the estate planning documents. We also appreciated the attending witnesses to complete everything with one meeting. Our estate planning documents were meticulously organized and packaged along with recommendations for path forward. An extremely pleasant experience.

Tucker Montgomery, JD MD, is the preeminent medical malpractice lawyer in East Tennessee. Yes background as a practicing physician for many years in the emergency room, combined with his extensive experience defending care providers for many years, has provided him with a unbelievably sound and advantageous knowledge base. His humility, demeanor and approach (and sense of humor) make him a true joy to be around. If he will take your case, you should consider yourself very lucky.

I work as an independent legal consultant. I would like to highly recommend Dr Montgomery. He is the only attorney I have ever worked with that stressed legal ethics. (We sat down in his office before I took my first case home, and he would periodically mention that focus as I picked up other cases.) If more attorneys emphasized this, the legal profession would go a long way to improving their reputation.
Adding to this, he and his staff had a strong rapport. There was a strong sense of mutual respect and caring making it also the warmest atmosphere I've ever worked in. And the respect did not end there as I saw firsthand how much he really cared about his clients and their situations. He is a patient advocate in every sense of the term.
.
If you're an attorney with a need for the best consultant for a medical case, Dr Montgomery should be your first choice. If you’re a patient and need an attorney, suggest Dr Montgomery as a consultant. I believe you will be very happy with your choice.
I have never wanted to work for anyone more in my life after working with his firm as an independent consultant. It was always a pleasure to work with him. But now he has given up his firm working as an independent consultant himself. That makes it difficult for me to ever work with him again, but you could.

I am not allowed to talk about the facts of my case because of a clause in the settlement agreement, but my case involved a negligent medical procedure. Mr. Terry was recommended to my husband and I because he is the best malpractice lawyer in the area. He obtained excellent results for us and was always honest and upfront. I am not sure what our lives would have been like in the future without him, He will be my and my families lawyer for life!

We couldn't have asked for a better lawyer to represent us and he sure got resutls!

After getting myself into serious enough trouble that it could have derailed my life, I couldn't be happier or more relieved after Mr. Grady Smith handled my case. After speaking with Mr. Morrell about my case, he recommended Mr. Smith as he was the most familiar with my local law enforcement and it certainly worked in my favor. Mr. Smith was very polite, knowledgeable, and explained everything in a way I could easily understand. I can't stress enough that the outcome was much better than I, or my family and friends, could have ever expected. I'll be recommending this law firm to anyone who asks for as long as I'm around.

We can’t recommend Andrew J. Rankin enough! As a gay couple, we weren’t sure how much more difficult our green card process might be, but Andrew immediately put our minds at ease. From day one, he walked us through everything with patience, clarity, and kindness. Immigration paperwork can feel overwhelming, but he made sure we understood each step and always took the time to answer our (many!) questions. It was clear from the effort he put into our case that he genuinely cared—not just about the outcome, but about us as people. Thanks to Andrew, what could have been a stressful experience felt so much more manageable. If you’re looking for an immigration attorney who truly has your back, Andrew is the one!

He was always well informed about all details of my case and quickly acted any time an issue arose. He knew before the USCIS even mailed the letter! Thanks to him, I received my green card with no issues even when life got in the way. Choosing Andrew will be the best decision you make about your case!

What a Medical Malpractice Lawyer Can Do for You
A medical malpractice lawyer specializes in helping individuals who have been harmed due to the negligence or misconduct of healthcare professionals, such as doctors, nurses, or hospitals. These lawyers assist in cases where a healthcare provider deviates from the accepted standard of care, resulting in injury or death.
