About Stephen
Biography
Top 10 Attorney for Personal Injury in Tennessee. Super Lawyer 2016, 2017, 2018. AV Rated by Martindale-Hubbell.
I have been practicing law for over 26 years. In that time I have represented only the injured victims of accidents, never the insurance companies. I consider it an honor to help people in their time of need, assisting them to collect a fair settlement.
We are a small firm, allowing for personal service. When you hire me to represent you, you get to talk to me, not an associate or paralegal. I will be the one who works to settle your case and if it goes to trial, I will be there in the courtroom fighting for your rights.
I have years of experience in auto accident, truck accident, and wrongful death claims. I have settled these type cases as well as tried these cases in court.

"The Man With The Plan"
I was in a head on accident with a narcotic police May 12, 2018, which was the officer's fault. But I didn't really know which lawyer I could trust for my case.

Outstanding Attorney
I hired Stephen to handle my case, and it couldn't have been handled more professionally! He kept me informed at every step of the legal process. My case was quite complex, and Stephen was victorious! My family and I only use him, and we continue to refer him to friends.
