I have had the pleasure of knowing Andrew for some time. He is a consummate professional who works tirelessly for his clients. Andrew is a skilled litigator and has earned the respect of the Knoxville bar. I have personally referred cases to his firm and have always been pleased with the level of customer service and counsel my referrals have received. He has my highest recommendation and endorsement.

I've known Andrew professionally for more than twenty (20) years. In my opinion, Andrew is not only an extremely competent and zealous attorney for his clients, but Andrew is also an effective communicator both in the courtroom and with his clients. He is approachable and not aloof. He doesn't use words to alienate his clients from understanding the ins and outs of their cases. His demeanor is naturally positive, and that translates into positive results for his clients. Andrew's considerable experience in his areas of practice and practical knowledge of how to bring a case to a successful resolution make him an excellent choice in attorney.
