Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I endorse this lawyer. Floyd is a former partner of mine at Baker Donelson, and he has flourished since moving on to build his own practice. I cannot say enough about what a talented, driven, compassionate and excellent attorney he is. He fights hard for every client. Floyd's litigation skills are unparalleled and he fights aggressively for what is right. I would not hesitate to hire him or refer anyone I know to do so. Aside from his professional skills, Floyd is just an all around wonderful person who is quite respected in the community. I heartily endorse him.
