Landlord\tenant litigation

Attorney Seth Seagraves represented me when a tenant damaged my property, moved out and claimed illegal eviction. He was able to get a verdict on my behalf as soon as the complainants rested their case! It was very fortunate for me because the judge indicated she believed all or most of the testimony... she had heard and she was ready to fine me heavily....without hearing the truth! I'm glad he was there to represent me. Thank you Attty. Seth Seagraves!

Great

Seth and the rest of the Working Law team did an excellent job getting DUI charges reduced to Reckless Driving to eventually be dropped after completion of Diversion. A huge outcome for me as I could not have afforded any of this on my record. I am confident he and the rest of the Working Law firm us...ed every option in their playbook to get me the results I needed.

Mr. Segraves is Exceptionally Well Versed in His Areas of Practice. Here is a Excellent Attorney. Highly Recommended.

I was blindsided being served by my longtime landlord, who called me friend. He had often bragged about his great joy in evicting tenants, but we always paid on time and were his "favorites". After a 4 year relationship he served me and my partner. Expecting the worse & not knowing where to procure a...n attorney specializing in landlord-tenant matters, Mr. Segraves was suggested as a highly skilled attorney in such concerns. I contacted his office & his kind and compassionate staff offered me a appointment surprisingly fast. Although busy with his other specialties, he sat down with us, reviewed our evidence, asked pertinent questions specific to our case & pending court date. Having served as a temp. in a landlord-attorney practice (in a different state) many years ago & not familiar with Tennessee Law, I had no idea what to expect. Mr. Segraves answered all of our questions & told us what to expect, based on his knowledge & expertise. Always on time, he appeared in court, acknowledged us and the hearing proceeded. With his kind manner, he stood with us and stated our case. He was logical, professional & "matter of fact." The outcome was a ruling in our favor. I (and my partner) are most grateful. After court he met with us and advised exactly what the ruling meant & how to go forward. Further, Mr. Segraves told us to contact his office if there were further problems as a result of the ruling in our favor. We have had to contact him twice. He has continued to support us and advise us appropriately. Job WELL DONE SIR! I would ask to be his client again & want others to know that a FIVE STAR landlord-tenant attorney is available in Seth M. Segraves, Esq.

Greatest Lawer

Mr.seth is a great Lawer! He has helped me out so much with the justice system! I have not meet another Lawer that seems to care so much for his clients and he would do anything and fight harder in court like he has for me to keep your record looking good!!

Great experience

I received a traffic violation. Mr. Segraves took care of it for me on my first court date. Dismissed with no court cost and no record. Very prompt and courteous. Recommend highly to others.
