Franklin TN problem
Dana was there for me when I needed him each time. I was arrested in franklin tn and anytime I had questions even at 10pm at night he was there to answer. The guy is great, put your faith and trust in his hands! I highly recommend the guy to anyone for all matters he except. Pretty fair priced as wel...

Excellent attorney
I had an incident happen where I was in the wrong place at the wrong time and ended up with a misdemeanor charge through no fault of my own. It was all very overwhelming and I knew I needed an attorney. A friend recommended I contact Dana. From the very first consultation, I could tell Dana was thoro...

Smart, direct, and dependable
My adult daughter and I inadvertently got ourselves into a bit of a jam with the police over a single car accident. I explained the situation to Dana and he agreed to take the case. He designed our defense creatively and his assessment of what both the process and the outcome would be was spot on. H...
Sometimes good people wind up in bad situations. I was glad to be able to help these clients. I knew what needed to be done and I got it done for them. Today, on paper, none of that ever happened.

Calculated Genius
Mr. McLendon is a seasoned and experienced attorney in the Nashville area. He has handled my divorce and custody battle with my ex-wife in a professional, calm, and incredibly collected fashion. His goal has been in line with mine, from day one, to ensure that the best outcome is reached for my chi...
This is a really nice review. I do try to not only be a lawyer, but to be someone who helps you through the entire process with advice that might not be just legal advice. I've seen this movie a thousand times, I know what works and what doesn't, not just inside the case but in life. I'm always glad to help good people through tough times.

Repeat Customer
This is the second time I retained Mr. McLendon for my legal opportunities. He previously represented my wife and was a referral of her's to me. Specifically, the most recent case I had to retain him for was to go to chancery court to help advise me on my rights as a non-custodial parent in my mu...
There is no better compliment than to be hired twice. Enough said.
"I endorse this lawyer. I have seen this lawyer in action and he fights passionately for his clients every single time."
"Over the years, I have worked with Dana on a number of cases. I have also used him for his mediation services. He zealously advocates for his client and is a straight shooter. He delivers exactly what he promises and knows the law. I would highly recommend Dana."
"I have had the pleasure of working with Dana in a law practice. Once I was elected judge, he appeared in my court regularly. Dana has an extraordinary command of the law and his knowledge is unsurpassed. I never questioned his preparedness and his presentations to the court were always logical and clearly stated. Anyone that he represented always received his full attention in court and he is a strong advocate. I highly recommend him as an attorney in all types of legal matters. He will give his clients sound advice, creative solutions, and very effective representation."
"I have known Dana for a long time. He is always honest and fights hard for his clients. I have referred clients to him and will continue to do so."
"I endorse this lawyer. Dana is an awesome lawyer who does not put his own interests above his clients. If you are looking for a fighter who is not afraid of making an argument that might upset the status quo, Mr. McLendon III may be your best choice."
