Publically Censored

Do not hire him. Just dont. Go to the TN Bar Association to learn about public censure in January of 2023.

Michael

Mr. Stegall had my case dismissed. I was accused of stealing a motor vehicle that was a potential felony. He worked expeditiously and had my case expunged without my asking. He worked diligently and was the best money I have ever spent on an attorney. He is a man of his word and will work hard to... defend you through out the life of your case. I highly, highly recommend him. Great results. I could not have asked for more.

Stick to traffic tickets

Was the worse lawyer I ever had . Paid him to represent my son... filed wrong motion. Talked to my son once . Took 1900 of my hard earned money and went on vacation. I notified him that a reconsideration motion was denied. I didn't pay him to file this motion but a rule 21. No chance for my son now. ...Sentenced to 10 years. Paid him to do what he wanted to do, not what I paid him to do. Yes stick to traffic tickets. He did refund 400 guess he felt bad

Excellent Attorney!!

I needed an attorney to represent me in a matter & retained Patrick Stegall. He was very honest in the possible outcomes that I could expect - he was tireless in pursuing the best outcome for me and though it took a bit longer than either of us expected (no fault of his at all) we achieved a better t...han I expected outcome. Without him representing me, things would definitely not have ended so positive - my advice, read the reviews as they don’t lie. He’s the best as far as I’m concerned!!

Criminal defense lawyer | Jan 04

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I have known Patrick since he and my husband clerked together for the Shelby County Criminal Court several years ago. I have had the opportunity to work with Patrick on an extremely difficult and complex matter in Juvenile Court. Our matter involved an intensely emotional conflict and involved extremely complex legal issues. I was impressed at all times with Patrick's zealous effort, broad expertise and professionalism in the face of such a difficult case. Any lawyer would have considered this case an exceptionally difficult one, and Patrick handled it with great skill when he had only been out of law school for a year or two. The other lawyers in my firm who were also working on that case would agree with this endorsement as all were equally impressed with Patrick."
