"Ward is a tough and knowledgeable attorney when representing his clients. When I oppose him on a case, I know that he will know the law. In fact, I never miss his annual update for lawyers on employment law through the Knoxville Bar Association. I recommend Ward as an attorney for any employer seeking help with an employment matter."

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"There are only a few lawyers whose combination of innate skill and work ethic cause them to reach the pinnacle of their profession. Mr. Phillips is one of those lawyers. His sincere concern for his clients, knowledge of the law and dedication to his profession cause him to be one of the most respected lawyers in his field--not just in Tennessee, but in the United States. He and his partners tap every available resource to resolve the client's problems both in and out of the courtroom. I have referred many clients to Mr. Phillips. Every time, I am considered a hero because of Mr. Phillips's work. If you are an employer with an employment issue, don't make the mistake of looking elsewhere. Call Mr. Phillips."

  • 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.
