A consummate professional who delivered a stellar outcome

Our company faced a complex workers' compensation claim that threatened significant financial exposure. From our initial consultation, Thomas Hickey demonstrated a profound command of Tennessee employer-side law. His 28 years of experience were immediately evident in his strategic assessment and clear communication. He meticulously prepared our defense, anticipating every argument from the opposing counsel. The result was a favorable settlement that protected our interests far better than we had hoped. Thomas’s recognition in areas like Personal Injury and Workers' Compensation Law is clearly well-earned. Beyond his legal acumen, his professionalism and steady guidance made a stressful process manageable. He is a true asset to Spicer Rudstrom. For any business or insurance entity navigating civil litigation in Chattanooga, I cannot recommend Thomas Hickey more highly.
