This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Best of the best in Williamson County

We never thought we would need an attorney and if you find yourself in the same situation, you will want to read this. Whether you are asking those same questions, like who should we hire?, the cheapest?, the first one in the book?, the best website? or you just want the best representation you can... retain, you will save yourself a lot of anxiety and uncertainty if you hire Mark Puryear III. We were fortunate to have Mark as our attorney when our world was turned upside down. His expertise of the law, the respect he has earned from his peers, law enforcement and the court system and the fact that he continued to mentor us through our situation will always be remembered. Mark's professionalism, integrity and knowledge of the system and how it works is evident once you see him work. If there is one thing I learned from my dealings with the court system, it is that you should NEVER go to court without proper legal representation and if you are in middle TN, you have the option to choose Mark. During this process, I witnessed many attorneys work in the courtroom and I am so grateful to have chosen Mark Puryear III.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
