Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I endorse this lawyer. He is the best lawyer for employment matters in the state of Tennessee. He has handled more employee claims than any other lawyer I know and has attained an impressive record of success. David has also developed an impressive record of wins in matters of personal injury, and wrongful death cases. His integrity, knowledge and professionalism are the very best! I would not hestate to refer any one to him for employment, personal injury or wrongful death cases.
