Why do I need an attorney for my East Tennessee case?
Municipalities frequently change the law to accommodate new issues and attitudes. Personal injury liability situations now sometimes involve technology such as the use of cell phones, social media, and text messages. And child custody law no longer automatically favors mothers when determining the best interests of the children.
We make the effort to stay current on the latest case law and statutory amendments that affect the legal cases of our clients. One small change in legislation can make a huge change in your case. And Attorney Shepherd shares this knowledge in the courses he teaches to the public and the legal community.
