Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I unreservedly endorse Don as an excellent attorney. His experience and track record obviously speak for themselves, and he has an outstanding reputation in the legal community. I have had the privilege of seeing Don in action in court and his mastery of the courtroom is impressive to behold. Do not let that friendly Tennessee drawl fool you, he is absolutely someone you want working for you and not against you!"
