I came to Kelly upon recommendation from several peers in my field as well as my personal physician. I had been injured severely in a car wreck and spent several weeks in the hospital as a result. I had plenty to worry about without having to think about medical bills and my ability to work in the fu...ture...I literally did not know if I would walk again. I am so thankful for this man, and to my peers and physician for telling me about him. In short, he handled my case from start to finish and got me a very large settlement that will certainly help me in the future. I constantly refer people to him for a variety of legal needs and he's the only lawyer I would ever trust.

Mr. Tanner was recommended to me by a family member who called him a “miracle worker” I was arrested and charged with a felony and a misdemeanor. My story was on the news and they altered every bit of my story to attempt to make me look guilty however when i met with Mr Tanner he assured me everythin...g would be fine and he was up for the challenge of this case, and he did not lie. I was expecting a very long legal process. And my case was dismissed after 3 months at a preliminary hearing. Mr. Tanner’s background in law enforcement makes him a one of a kind lawyer and I am absolutely speechless at how great he was in my defense and bringing the truth out. He is excellent at communication and making his clients feel like family. He kept me extremely informed every step along the way and answered every question I had. If you need an amazing lawyer and first class person, hire Kelly Tanner! You will not regret it! He saved my life and my reputation.

I was fortunate enough to have Mr. Tanner on my side during a DUI case in the very tough area of Gatlinburg. I contacted many attorneys before a family friend highly recommended him to me. Most of the attonerys I spoke with were not even willing to attempt to defend a client in that area. Mr. Tanner... was not concerned and happy to take on the task at hand. I probably had unrealistic goals going into this battle especially for the city I was charged in. During our time in court Mr Tanner was able to keep me well informed with everything happening and coming in the future. He was very knowledgeable of the laws and what was needed for a strong case. I believe one of the most valuable assets of Mr. Tanner being on your side is his extensive history through the ranks of a local police department. Mr. Tanner was not intimidated or reluctant to go to trial with the judicial system. He was able to obtain my unrealistic wants in this matter and get my charge of DUI dismissed. I could not be happier with his services and professionalism on the whole case. He is not the type of guy to tell you what you want to hear just to make you happy he is a very realistic person. He makes you very aware of all options and possible outcomes of your situation even if they aren't the ones you want to hear. I appreciate that in the situations of this matter. I would much rather be informed and prepared for a worse case scenario then get better. I would not been happy with someone promising the world then under delivering from what was promised, which he did not do. Although I really appreciated his hard work and detication to my case I really hope I do not need to use him in this manor again. Although if I or anyone I know need legal help in the future I will not hesitate to refer or call him.

Kelly's years on the police force were invaluable as he defended me against a DUI charge in Oak Ridge, TN. He knew the techniques the police and the D.A. would use to try and convict me, recognized there was nothing remarkable in the video evidence of the event, and won me a much lower charge of "rec...kless driving", a very rare accomplishment in Oak Ridge General Sessions Court. I'd call on Kelly for any legal help and highly recommend him to anyone else.
