Don’t Use this Lawyer

We have hired this person to represent a family member and not only has done nothing to help us. She is free for a reason since she can’t get any clients besides deceptive practices and falsely claims to want to help her clients. This lawyer hasn’t done a single thing to help and now we have our cour...t date pushed back to July as she won’t speak for us.

Injury case

This attorney held on to my case for (5) years and dropped it, she had all of the information she needed to win. This attorney lost photos, medical records and videos (she said) she kept asking me to ask doctors to replace medical reports, I had to pay for my own medical care and I'm still going to t...he doctor for my injuries. I believe she went to court without me and lost my case, I don't know if she was bought out and walked with the money or not, I do know, she's not to be trusted with anyone's case, she gets a thumbs down from me.

Fantastic Attorney!

Nan handled my disability case back in 2003, and I just recommended her to a friend of mine. She won my case for Severe Rheumatoid, and I gotta say,she's one of the best attorneys that I've ever met. She took my case and rode it to the finish line. The woman was always on the ball. I had another lawy...er before I switched to Nan. That lawyer did nothing at all for me. I'd get paperwork in the mail from Social Security that I had no idea what to do with. I'd call the lawyer to asks questions, but he was never in and would never call me back. Nan, on the other hand, called me every couple of weeks, just to check on me. I really appreciate the time she took with me. At a time when it felt like no one cared, having her call just to check on me realm meant alot. I can't recommend Nan enough!

Excellent Attorney

Nan Calloway is a wonderful person, and an excellent attorney. She can help you with just about any legal matter that you have. She has over 30 years of experience under her belt, so she's full of knowledge. Hire her, and you won't regret it.

EXCEPTIONALLY HONEST

MS. CALLOWAY HAS A STRONG SINCE OF INTEGRITY AND COMPASSION WITH A DEEP ABIDING RESPECT FOR THE LAW. SHE HAD THE FORESIGHT NEEDED IN DEALING WITH THE SOCIAL SECURITY SYSTEM, AND DILIGENTLY PURSUED THE CASE FOR YEARS BATTLING THE BEAUROCRACY. SHE PERSEVERED ON MY BEHALF UNTIL SHE WON THE CASE.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2007.

Publicly Censured issued in TN, 2007

updated on 08/03/2015

This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.

Nan’s comment:

“A complaint was filed by the opposing party, not my client. This was done primarily to keep me from obtaining an award of attorney fees after winning the case.”
